The Foening Star Sporls WASHINGTON, D. C, MONDAY, AUGUST 19, 1935. BOYMENTODFEW FORHEAVYSLATE Harris Has Only Four Good Ones for 12 Tilts in 10 Days Out West. ‘ BY FRANCIS E. STAN, | Staft Correspondent of The Star. LEVELAND, August 19 —E‘our“ big-league pitchers and 12 games to play in the next 10 days! That. in a nut shell, was Manager Bucky Harris' dreary realization to- day as his Nationals were to resume battling in a six-game series with the Indians before proceeding farther | on their western tour. | Numerically. the Griffs’ slab corps | includes seven pitchers, but definitely | it has dawned upon the desperate| and disillusioned Mr. Harris that| when Jack Russell, Leon Pettit or Phil Hensiek walks to the slab it's| & signal for soft music, professor. Pettit's ultimate fate was sealed some time ago. when it became ap- parent that he, while owning a pretty fair curve, lacked a fast ball to cope with major league hitters in stride. Until yesterday hope always was held for Russell. but whether there is any such optimism today is doybtful. Hensiek, who wasn't even winner at Albany. is beginning to discover that the American League is not a bit softer than the International. In| fact. he may be back on Joe Cam- | bria's pay roll in a very short time. Little Chance to Climb. UNLESS the four starters—Buck Newsom. Earl Whitehill, Bump Hadley and Ed Linke—can maintain an almost brilliant pace it isn't lxkely; now that the Griffs will finish any- | Where but in seventh place, for the | second straight year. Clif Bolton's | injury was a terrific blow, but even | with the so-so Sam Holbrook catch- ing they might have been able to catch the Athletics and perhaps, over- haul the Indians. But now it appears & lost hope. For the remaining two games of | this Cleveland series and the four- | game set in Chicago Harris will be able to use Hadley, Newsom, White- hill and Linke in order, but on the Nationals' next stop, St. Louis, there are six more games to be played in four days. This means that Bucky | will have to use Russell, Pettit or Hensiek as starters, and when he does, barring little short of a miracle, you can kiss those games good-by. Even the Browns, lowly and trampled. still | humber some big-leaguers in the line- up. Records Against Hurlers. CERTAINLY there can be no ac- cusation of undue pessimism on this score—not when backed by the | form sheet. Never able to hit any- thing resembling his 1933 stride—or even his form of last year—Russell | has grown steadily less effective. In his last 142; innings of work, for in- stance, he has given up 31 hits and | 18 runs. This kind of pitching can- | not help a ball club. | Pettit, unlike Russell, was off to a4 great start. He was a left-handed | Frank Merriwell at the start of the | season, but not since June has he | resembled a big-league hurler. Lately his work has paralleled that of Rus- sell. In Pettit’s last 1225 innings he has given up 16 hits and 9 runs. Hensiek has been tried only twice | by the Nationals, first as a relief pitcher against the Tigers and again yesterday as starter against the In-i dians. So far he has failed to raise any hopes. His work has totaled five and two-third innings and over this stretch 13 hits have bounced off the opposition's bats and nine runs have been scored. No Relief in Sight. AH'ER what happened yesterday, when the Griffs split a second successive double-header with the In- dians, it is believed that Harris no longer feels he can hold out any hope for a ball game while even using any of this trio for relief work. It is sig- nificant that each of the last five games, in which one or more relief pitchers were used, was lost by the Nationals. The last time the Griffs registered & victory while using more than one pitcher was on August 4 against the Yankees and then New York scored five runs in the last two innings to lose only by a run. Roly-Poly Ed Linke saw to it yes- terday in the opener against the Tribe that Harris would not have to use a relief hurler. While giving up 11 hits, he scattered them so well over the 10 innings of play that he -bested a prize Washington nemesis, Mel Hard- er. 4 to 2. Harder gave up only eight safeties, but was not quite so stingy in the pinches. Griffs Win, Then. Wabble. JOE KUHEL'S homer to open the fourth gave the Griffs a 1-0 lead, but & walk to Knickerbocker and Brenzel's double tied it up in the In- dians’ half. In the sixth Berger's error put Linke on base and a sac- rifice and two singles sent him across for a 2-to-1 lead. Muffing a throw by Bluege in the eighth, Kuhel put Vosmik on second By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. LEVELAND, August 19.—Young ‘ professional base ball too short a time for judgment to be Sammy Holbrook has been in passed on his catching future, but one thing is certain—Clif Bolton fs | being missed sorely by the Nationals. As a catcher Bolton probably never really was appreciated by Capital fan- dom, nor even by his teammates per- haps. But since he suffered a broken finger here in the opening game of the Indian series it is becoming in- creasingly apparent that his shoes are too big for Holbrook to fill at the present time. Earlier in the season Holbrook won Manager Bucky Harris’ regard when he went on a batting spree and then caught a few good games behind the plate. So well did he stack up, as a matter of fact, that Bucky considered alternating the right-handed hitting Holbrook and the southpaw-swinging Bolton. Then, apparently the pace of major league pitching became too hot for Sammy. Now, sole heir to Bolton's job for at least a month, Holbrook is | struggling with the stick and the Griffs are feeling keenly Clif's absence. When he tapped a cheap hit to Sammy Hale in yesterday's night-cap Holbrook made his first safety in 8 games, or 21 times at bat. In his last 14 games Sam has batted 33 times and made onlv 3 hits for an average of 091. He batted in one run over this stretch and struck out eight tmes. | | To end the ninth inning of yester- day’s opener Sammy fanned on three | pitched balls with the bases loaded and the score tied. Behind the bat there are many rough edges to be filed off. His throw- ing is erratic and Holbrook has yet to learn the various weaknesses of the American League hitters. Still, while | the Griffs may feel Bolton's loss now, a youngster must get experience some time and it's just as well Holbrook's opportunity is at a time when there is very little to lose. WHILE Buddy Myer and Joe Vosmik, who were running one-two for the American League batting leader- | ship when the Griffs opened their series with the Tribe, have been scrapping here a couple of gents named Roger Cramer and Hank Greenberg have stepped into the battle. Vosmik won the first two rounds of his battle with Myer last Saturday, but Buddy came back yesterday to even their squabble by getting three hits in eight trips to maintain. his .345 average. Vosmik made only one safety in nine tries and dropped from .347 and the lead to .342, putting him fourth behind Cramer of the A's and Green- berg of the Tigers. T'S hard to figure Cleveland fandom. A crowd of 20,000 cash customers | turned out for yesterday's double- header, which would evidence consid- erable interest in the Indians. Yet in the opener when Linke had thrown three straight balls to Hal Trosky, a fan yelled: “Aw, c'mon and hit, ya big bum. Whatya waitin’ for?” And a very sentimental taxi driver en route to the park called back to his fares: “Y'know. I'm glad they got old Wal- ter Johnson out. I went out to a game this Summer and that Vosmik fella hit a home run. dugout and shake hands with him as he crossed the plate?” . There will be rumors and more rumors this Winter about next year's Cleveland manager, but here’s a tip that's almost good for a nickel bet: The Indians’ boss in 1936 will be the gent who is managing them now— | Steve O'Neill. lN THE event of injury to Sam Hol- brook, lone Washington catcher, Johnny Stone, Jake Powell and Alan Strange have volunteered to go behind the bat . . . Incidentally, Handsome Fitzgerald, a Washington sandlotter, who has been catching in batting practice for the last few years, re- ported yesterday for bullpen duty. Trosky pulled a colossal boner in yesterday’'s opener and it cost Mel Harder the victory . . . He singled to open the sixth and raced to third on Hale’s one-baser, which Stone fum- bled long enough for Hale to reach base, from where he scored on pinch- hitter Ralph Winegarner's single, again tying the score. Then the game went into the tenth inning, when the Griffs clinched it on Linke’s single, a sacrifice by Kuhel who be- | came safe after Hale's futile effort to get Linke at second, and & double by Heinie Manush scoring both. The night cap found the Griffs giving Hensiek a 3-to-0 lead, but the | Reamond- International League recruit couldn’t held it. The Tribe went ahead, 4 to 3, in the second frame and added a run in each of the next two innings. This brought Russell and in two frames the score jumped from 6 to 3 to 12 to 4 and later to 13-4 in favor of the Indians. They made 20 hits so it readily | Lo can be seen how much chance the Nationals had with such pitching.

LEVELAND, August 19.—Ralph ‘Winegarner, young Cleveland right-hander, may not be the American League's best pitcher by a long shot, but when he swings his bat against Washington e Nationals are Feady to vote him just about the best hitter. ‘Winegarner has faced Washing- ton pitching seven times this season and six times he has blasted out hits, including a triple " and a home run. His half dozen safeties have sent in nine runs and his batting abil- ity directly has led to three victories. On June 20, with Washington and Cleveland tied at 6-6 in a game here, Winegarner went to bat as a pinch- hitter in the eighth inning and won the game with a home run. In Washington on July 24 he went into a game as a relief pitcher and not only received credit as the win- ning hurler but also got two hits in two trips to the plate, drove across four runs and scored two more himself in a 13-to-8 victory. Ralph Winegarner. Singles as Berger's Sub. J_AST saturday here Winegarner went up to the plate as a pinch- hitter and broke a 6-6 tie by sending a long drive to Powell which scored a runner from third, The final score was 8 to 7. Yesterday, in the first half of a double-header, he batted for Berger in the eighth inning and singled to center, scoring a run and tying the score, 2-2. The Griffs won, however, | in 10 innings by 3 to 2. In the second game Winegarner opened on the mound for Cleveland and in the second inning, with Wash- ington leading, 3 to 0. he singled with the bases full to score two runs, put another runner in scoring position and then scored himself as the Tribe took a 4-to-3 lead before the inning was over.
