STAN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ETROIT, August 14.—When, earlier this season, Jimmy Dykes of Chicago broadly hinted at a deal for Earl ‘Whitehill in exchange for a younger pitcher, Manager Bucky Harris reared back and laughed at the thought. And | Bucky reflected the reaction of Clark Griffith. “Sure I like Les Tietje,” udmitted Harris, between chuckles, “but not at that price. Who else did Dykes say he'd throw in—Al Simmons?” At the time, just before the trading limit, Whitehill was in the throes of a slump which saw him go without a single victory for more than a month. So it was little wonder that some folks doubted if the proposal, | after all, deserved such a giggle. It isn't any wonder now. Earl| Whitehill may not be the pitcher of | 1933; but you can't count him out| as considerable of a major leaguef hurler now and perhaps for some time to come. This is an observation that | is becoming increasingly evident these | days, as the Nationals begin to re- | semble the ball club Bucky Harris| thought he was managing last Spring. | Faith Is Justified. | A GOOD part of the reason for the | Griffs’ improved formidability is Whitehill. Apparently he was on the skids during the first half of the campaign. Earl didn't appear to have his “stuff.” He was giving up| bases on balls at the wrong times. | His record was lopsided, vith few Victories and a flock of defeats. | Now it is obvious that it wasn't the real Whitehill who was taking all those lickings—that Bucky Harris was | right when he sized up Earl's ineffec- | tiveness as a temporary state and laughed at Dykes’ hint When he stopped the Tigers yester- day, 4 to 3. in 10 innings, Earl broke & Detroit winning streak of nine games and fattened a little streak of his own. It was his third straight victory and the fifth triumph of the last sevea decisions involving the rotund south- paw. | wili gain a modest 6-foot-1-inch 160- | are over, but Eddie expects to use Col- Of Real Pitcher, but Goes to College to Be Big League Farmer if Mound Try Fails < BY BURTON S.

Today. for the first time since the early days of the season, Earl can show a record better than .500. He has 11 victories as against 10 defeats, and to judge by his recent performances this season yet may be one of his best as » big leaguer He will not approach his 1933 record of 22 victories, as against 8 defeats, nor his 1924 mark of 17 wins and 9 losses, but he still stands a chance of compiling a commendable record with & seventh-place club. Is a Notable Feat. STOPPING a red hot club like the Tigers on their home field and after the Bengals had just scored suc- cessive sweeps over the Indians ana White Sox is a tough task. Whitehill found this true, almost heartbreak- ingly so, but Earl was equal to the Job. In spite of a 3-0 deficit and the | usual run of Detroit luck, Earl plugged away until, finally, he got a break. Whitehill outpitched Al Crowder and Elon Hoggsett by a wide margin, the Nationals getting 14 hits to seven for the Tigers, but despite this dis- parity favoring the Griffs, Whitehill had to fight an uphill battle. ‘Two scratch hits in the third ianing caused all the trouble, for at this point Pete Fox inserted a home run to give Detroit a 3-0 lead. Four National hits cut this margin to 3-2 in the fifth and another quartet of safeties tied it up in the sixth when it should | have been clinched. To Umpire Brick Owens the Tigers owed a vote of thanks, for the umps conveniently got in the way of a wild outfield throw and kicked the ball back to the De- troit infield, which was able to nail S::efl Travis trying to take an extra Finally Get Breaks. BUT for this accident Travis and Manush would have been on second and third with none down and, with Kress and Bolton eventually providing hits, there is no telling how many runs the Griffs would have &cored. As it was, Washington only tied the score and not until the tenth were the Griffs able to get a break. Then it came with a bang. With one away and Dee Miles, running for Bolton, on first base, Whitehill bunted and Hoggsett threw into center field trying to get Miles. Scooting for third, Miles ‘was helped to his goal by a bad throw from Jo Jo White. Thea Dee scored when Pete Fox fell as he reached for Joe Kuhel's semi-liner and missed the pill. But the breaks of the tenth could in no way detract from Whitehill's | performance. yesterday.

The | White Sox could get along without Dykes and Philadelphia’s line-up is studded too liberally with slugging to miss Johnson in the same ratio that ‘Washington would miss Myer. Spearhead of the defense and key man on the offense, Buddy's part in the destinies of the Griffs seems to in- crease in importance daily. They can | win without Jake Powell’s hitting now and then, or without Heinie Manush or Cecil Travis. But when Myer is stopped so, too, are the Griffs. Fortunately, Myer isn't being stop- ped often. As the season wears on, Buddy appears to be getting even bet- ter. He has a brand-new consecutive game hitting streak growing (it's reached seven in a row now), and for those seven tilts he has made 17 hits in 29 times at bat. Just when Bucky Harris was be- ginning to doubt Cecil Travis' ability to develop into a really first-class fielding third baseman, the youngster yesterday bobbed up with perhaps the most sensational fielding exhibition of the season for a Washington player. Snagging every chance to come his way, vis retired 11 of the Tigers |and missed tying an antiquated assist record for third basemen by one play. Cecil took care of 10 assists as well {as a putout, for the biggest fielding day for a thircsacker in 33 years, The record for most assists is and is held jointly by James L. White and Jerry Denny. White made the record in 1843 while playing for Buf- falo in the National League. Denny tied it in 1890 as a member of the Giants. Travis goes down with only two other third basemen who hnvnhmd‘d 11| 10 assists. They are Willian Shindle of Baltimore of the International League, and Harry Wolverton of the Phillies. They did the trick in 1893 and 1902, respectively. Is Detroit outs over the Tigers again? We'll say so. The papers carry so many stories and notes that the following bit found its way into the Detroit News: { “The following Tigers failed to shave before yesterday's ball game: | Manager Mickey Cochrane, Jo Jo White, Ray Hayworth, Marvin Owen, | Flea Clifton and Hank Greenberg.” Wonder if the Tigers like their eggs scrambled or poached? Owens Nemesis of Nats. MPIRE BRICK OWENS always manages to find ways to get in the Nationals’ hair. His latest stunt yesterday was a pip. After Manush had opened the sixth with a single, Travis followed with a one-base poke to cen- | terfield and White threw to third in an effort to get Heinie. The throw was | wild and shot by toward the Tiger dugout. Owens, rushing toward the play from the plate, managed to kick back into the hands of Marvin Owen, Detroit third baseman, who thus managed to catch Travis taking sec- ond base. ‘That Kress man is still on tihe loose. In addition to making two hits yes- terday Red contributed a great catch to end the game. Schoolboy Rowe, batting for White in the tenth, shot a liner over shortstop, but Kress leaped high in the air, flipped up his gloved hand and snagged it in the webbing for a sensational play. Gerry Walker took a tongue-lashing from his teammates after pulling an- other base-running boner in the tenth. The erratic outfielder batted for Hog- sett and singled to start the inning. Then Clifton sacrificed and was out Travis to Kuhel but Walker overran second base and was trapped. To make 1t worse, he would have eluded the trap and reached third safely during tke rundown had he not slid over the base. the ball, however, and it bounced right | Perhaps Eddie’s dreams of being a pitcher like his famous father never | will materialize, but the greatest | hurler in the history of the game has a son who's going to make a desperate bid for the big time and he's got the best coach in the world.

HICAGO, August 14.— Major league base ball parade in ink: For perhaps the first time in his White Sox career, Al Simmons was booed at Comiskey Park yesterday. Al is hustling, but his batting average is down to an all- time low for him at this stage of the campaign, only .274, as compared with last season’s 344 and his life- time average of more than .350. Including the last game in the disastrous Detroit series and yes- terday’'s loss to the Red Sox, Al ruined five bud- ding White Sox rallies in succes- sion. He firally broke his slump by hammering out a triple in the seventh inning yesterday to score Tony Piet. Stranger than Simmons' slump is that of Huck Betts, Boston Brave right-hander. With a great finish that promised stardom for him, Betts won 17 and lost 10 last season, pitch- | ing in a total of 40 games. He failed to win a game this season | until last Saturday. when he hurled three and one-third innings as a re- lief moundsman to get credit for the victory over Brooklyn. So far Betts has appeared in 30 | games, winning but 1 and losing 7. ! He has pitched 122 innings. | Vaughan's Batting Exception. | | ()F THE big six batters in each league | last year only Arkie Vaughan of | the Pirates is hitting :above his final 1934 average.
