STAN, Btaff Correspondent of The Star, HILADELPHIA, July 1.—Their hoped-for climb back into the first division postponed by rain, the Nationals anxiously awoke and pecred prayerfully at the skies today.

Jimmy De Sh everything who was soundly | art, was to open ay, if it opens on schedule. For the second game Harris has indicated that he will! start either Pete Appleton or Buck Newsom. This, then. means that Earl Whitehill w swing into action until tomorrow, he earliost, and that Earl will be available for duty on July in the Washington doubleheader with the Yankees. It is doubtful if De Shong. even if | he hurls today, will work in sufficient | rest to be at his best by the end of the week. Rest Not Necessary for Buck. N THE case of Newsom rest is not | s0 essential. As a matter of fact, the j less rest that Buck is given the more | effective the big guy seems to be. It | is almost certain that Harris, remem- | bering Buck's great 1-0 victory over the Yanks in the season’s opener, will start Newsom in one of the Fourth of July games. It is high time that Newsom turned around and started pitching the kind of ball of whic the recent Wi tered two victories as against no de- feats and, parad he looked the part of the wc P on the club.

Work, and a lot of it, may help Newsom to strike a happy medium His three-year record in the big show proves that Buck thrives on it. Pitch- ing twice a week, at least, Newsom is not so fast and, consequently better able to control his pitches. By the same token he does not have to lob the ball to get it over the e. Rivals Gain on Boston. JEVEN at the late hour of rising to- day, Harris had made no definite | kchedule of pitching for the Athletic series. For one thing, with a staff like Bucky bosses, it isn't wise to count on the pitchers. Secondly, the weather still seems uncertain, About the only uncertainty toda_v’ is that Washington, if it plays, and can manifest its usual supremacy over the Mackian hosts, will ride home on Friday night well in the running for second place. Yesterday, idling all day, the Nationals, Tigers and In- dians gained on the twice-beaten Red Sox and, unless Boston can get a grip on itself, all three clubs shortly may be climbing over the fagged remnants of the proud forces for which Tom Yawkey spent, roughly, $2,000,000.

Two simoleons he spent on a ball club, did Thomas, and here it is nearing the Fourth of July and what has he got? You easily can picture the look on Eddie Collins’ face, for instance, inas- much as Eddie was the guy who di- rected the spending of this kind of sugar on certain kinds of ball play- ers. Below! You can visualize the look on Joe Cronin’s face, too. He cost the Boston club twice as much as any team ever paid for any player, and Joe must do one thing—win. Of all the Boston swivel-chair brigade, Yawkey probably is carrying = his load the best. shoved out the money as he was d Besides, he's got plenty more millions. And, besices that, lots of guys in these United States have earned reputations as easy-money “marks” for causes far less noble. Unless the Red Sox rally grandly and the Yankees crack badly, Yawkey seems destined to go down in base ball's archives this year as another guy who failed to buy a pennant. Diamond history has repeated, over and over again, that it cannot be After all, he only | done.

'OLLINS, with Yawkey's dough, engineered the purchase of all available stars in the American League and the line-up, even when written on paper during the Winter, fairly sparkled.

Yet, when the millionaire Red Sox invaded Orlando, Fla, as early as million | oeee |last March for an exhibition game with Washington, few were impressed.

The expla- | nation that intrigued this depart- | ment most, at that time and now, was a veiled sort of a speech to the effect that sometimes stars with sec- cond division teams are not winning to say, Outfielder Joe Klutz may bat .365 and field like a demon for a team like the Browns, who are in eight place. Then, heralded as the savior of the first or second-place team that ‘hn,\'s him, Klutz bats .270, drops fly halls, and is thrown a fish net from | the bleachers with the advice to use | it when a grounder comes out to him.

By a Staff Correspondent ot The Star. HILADELPHIA, July Nationals’ recent drop to fifth place in the American League standing may have been a blessing in disguise, it developed today as Manager Bucky Harris prepared to claim Pitcher William (Bill) Dietrich of the Athletics by waivers. The be-spectacled youngster, who throws and bats right-handed and is known as the owner of a good fast ball, was expected to be signed to a Washington contract this afternoon following a conferemce with Harris. The Nationals claimed Dietrich late yesterday but President Clark Griflith | preferred to have Harris talk to the pitcher before going though with the deal. Connie Mack gave permission and so Dietrich and Harris were to confer this aftemoon. hind the talk, it seems, is to find out whether Dietrich has a sore arm, Bucky Is Puzzled. ““'E undoubtedly will go through with the deal” declared Harris this morning. “I think Dietrich will He always impressed me as a pretty good pitcher and I ecan't understand why Mack is willing to let him go for the waiver price. “My plans are to use him strictly as a relief pitcher. If he can't make good, of course, we always can use | him in a trade with a minor league club.” The waiver price, incidentally, is $7.500. According to the Philadelphia ros- ter, Dietrich is 25 years old, stands exactly 6 feet, and weighs 184 pounds.

With 11 offspring roaming around | the Ormsby home in suburban Ever- green Park, Mrs. Ormsby, a cheerful, | smiling mother, has to call the roll at mealtime to make sure that nobody is missing, because Emmett has been home only five days since March 7. “I have been so busy with the chil- dren,” she beamed today, “that I wish every night that ‘Red’ was around to help me with the ‘umpiring.’” Girls Like Base Ball.
