D=2 POWER IS WASTED AS PITCHERS FAL | Slab Situation Deplorable, | With No Relief Through Deals in Sight. BY FRANCIS E. STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. HICAGO, Ill, June 14.—With sighs of relief, Washington’s battered Nationals today bid farewell to the White Sox and resume their Western tour, but not even the prospects of battling the last-place Browns looms bright. It isn't pleasant to count a ball club out of the pennant race in the mid- dle of June, and it isn't being at- tempted here and now. But even Bucky Harris is beginning to see his air castles crumbling as seventh place yawns and his pitchers throw and | duck Bucky hasn't given up. Only there {s an air of desperation about the Nationals' pilot and he looks ahead | to a five-game St. Louis series that might well furnish a tip-off on the Nationals and their chances. With few exceptions the Nationals | have been banging the ball hard. | Their fielding has been of a high | standard. But the pitching has been | little more than mere throwing, and | this handicap has been too much for | even the batsmen to overcome on | their best days. Hits Go to Waste. NEV‘ER has this been more in evi- | dence than during the curren series with the White Sox, who were | to be encountered for the last time today. With one exception—Ted | SPORTS.

Lyons’ five-hit performance—the | Griffs have pounded out enough hits to win behind a big-league grade of pitching. Yet they have lost three in a row after winning the first tilt and have dropped so far down the Ameri- can League ladder that a defeat today and victory for the Athletics would find them in next to last place. Just how deplorable the slab situa- tion has been may be readily seen. In their four games to date with the By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. HICAGO, Ill, June 14.—Only Chicago Sox the Washington hurlers have given up 34 runs, nearly 9 per game. All but one of these was | earned. * Forty-seven hits—nearly 12 | per contest—have bounced off the bats of Jimmy Dykes’ crew. Only one pitcher, Earl Whitehill, has gone the route and he was socked for 13 hits | in a one-sided tilt. THE Griffs need added pitching | strength, if this is a criterion | of the pitchers’ ability, but, to quote | Harris, “Where are we going to| get it?” If you have ever seen a man pacing & death-cell hoping against hope for a reprieve you have an idea of how Harris feels today as he awaits mid- night tomorrow. To the rest of the | world it will. ke only 12 o’clock; to Harris it may sound like a death knell to his flag hopes, for then is the deadline on big league bartering. He is desperately in need of a winning hurler and, while he will not admit it, for obvious reasons, you can safely wager that he, too, is hoping against hope the next few hours will bring him such a person. There appears little chance, how- ever. The Yanks, Tigers, Indians and Red Sox have no hurlers to dis- pose of at present. The Browns, ever | a trade mart for the Nationals, have little left following Washington’s pur- chase of Buck Newsom and Bump Hadley and Philadelphia’s trade that netted George Blacholder. The A's have a pitching staff not even as good as that of the Nationals. 1 No Relief in Sight. Harris Can't See Trade. THXS would leave only the White Sox. Dykes openly admits he | would like to negotiate one swap, but | Harris ridiculed the trade that the | Chicago - pilot suggested. It was Les Tietje for Earl Whitehill. “I'll have no hand in that” de- clared Harris today. “Tietje may be | & good young prospect, but if he can't win for the White Sox how in the deuce can he win for us?” Yesterday’s ball game bore a close resemblance to the previous tilts in the current series. The Nationals | whacked Vernon Kennedy’s offerings for 14 hits and 6 runs, but their pitchers—Hadley and Leon Pettit— gave up 10 runs, 9 in an inning after two were out. The big splurge came in the fifth. With the score tied at 1-1, Luke, BSewell opened with a single.

The rest of the tilt was incidental. In the making of their other 5 runs, the Nationals were led by Buddy Myer, who hit a rome run, a double and a single, and by Jake Powell, who also blasted a homer. Official Score Pettit No Help. ,..

Braddock, comeback king, had reached his goal. “Now,” she said, “maybe we can have a nice one-family house. We've always lived in a little apart- ment.” It was in the hot little living room of their third-floor apart- ment on the Palisades of the Hud- son that Braddock’s 26-year-old wife huddled by the radio last night and heard how her Jimmy was taking a beating from Max Baer—and giving a better one in return. “I didn’t make plans in ad- vance,” said Mrs. Braddock, “for I didn% want to be disappointed. ‘It he wins’' I thought, ‘T'd like to make up my mind all of a sud- den.’” Three little Braddocks slept through the family crisis, but others of their mother’s family fought the fight round by round beside her.
