FRANCIS E. STAN. ETE APPLETON and Joe Cas- carella, who ran one-two in effectiveness in the Interna- tional League one year to win reprieves from the bushes, are finding that staging a comeback is one thing eand maintaining the pace is another. Appleton, whose 22 victories for Montreal in 1935 prompted the Na- tionals to grab him in the draft, won 14 games and lost 9 as & big leaguer last year. On the strength of that record he was regarded as good enough to win 16 or 17 games this season, which he opened as a full- fledged starting pitcher. Cascarella, who pitched good ball for Syracuse in 1935, also showed sufficient promise last year of win- ning as a starter. But the two right handers who seemed likely to win 30 or 35 games between them this year will have to close with a rush to fulfill the expectations of all who viewed them in Spring training. Today, as the Nats faced the task of reaching the .500 mark and the first division all over again, Pete the piano player and Joe the crooner held two victories between them and are charged with eight defeats. Pete O. K. as Reliet Hurler. PPLETON won both of these games. After dropping his first four games as a starter Pete was as- signed to relief work and he picked up a pair of successive victories over the Browns and the Red Sox. Yes- terday he was started again and was charged with the 13-t0-3 beating the Griffs took from the Detroit Tigers before upward of 12,000 spectators. Cascarella, started three times and beaten by the Browns, A’'s and Yanks, attempted to rescue Appleton during the storm of Bengal base hits and he, too, was buried. Dick Lanahan and 8 merciful thundershower finally ended the game in the eighth inning. The defeat cost the Nats a chance to overtake the Detroits during the two-game series that was to end to- day, with Buck Newsom opposing Roxie Lawson. Had they won, the Griffs would have been only half a game back of the Tigers today, but, as it was, they never were in the run- hping after the fourth inning. The Nats tried valiantly to make e game out of it against Tommy Bridges, but as soon as the Tigers found the range they had no chance. Detroit blasted 17 hits and et the end it was double, triple or no-count. Pete and Joe Needed. WHAT Appleton and Cascarella do L in the near future might well be vital to the Griffs. If they suddenly ean regain their strides of late ’36 and start winning the Washington pitching, with Buck Newsom, Carl Fischer and Jimmy De Shong taking their turns, may hold up. But if both Pete and Joe fail, Manager Bucky Harris will be hard pressed. Ed Linke, of course, could be taken out of the bull-pen again, but that would cramp the relief corps. One way or another, either as starters or reliable relievers, Appleton and Cas- carella are essential to success. After three hits off Appleton gave Detroit a 1-0 lead in the third ine ning the Griffs succeeded in tying 8 in their half of the frame. Then, In the fourth, Appleton was removed for a pinch-hitter and Cascarella took up the pitching. The Tigers, in front at the time by 5-1, started slowly against Joe snd wound up in a crescendo of crashing bats, dented fences and the peal of thunder. It was pretty ewful.

He's had a hard time getting base knocks, and, though he finally has brought his average close up to .300, Appling still is in a blue funk. For he is nearly 90 points shy of the handsome figure that got him the laurels last year. Of course, the season still is young and Appling may be up among the pace setters with a brief spurt. But it doesn’t seem in the book for him to spurt.

That's been history over the last four-year span in the American League anyway. Soon Slips to Minors. R!GHT after Simmons batted to his double, Dale Alexander of the Tigers rocked the circuit with his mighty wallops and wound up the 1932 season with an average of .367 for the championship. But soon after the following season was under way big Dale found himself on the skids. It wasn't long before the minors had him. Jimmy Foxx while with the Athlet- ics hit his 58 home runs the year Alexander won the league batting laurels, and the next year—1933—the Eastern Shore husky batted .356 to get the crown himself. But he found the going mighty tough the next season. It was Lou Gehrig's year, 1934. Larruping Lou of the Yankees’ mur- derers’ row smacked far and wide for & mark of .363. ‘The next year, however, found Gehrig well under his championship average. Meyer Has His Troubles. IN 1935 it was Washington's own Buddy Meyer who copped the crown, and Buddy did so with an av- erage of .349, some 14 points under the 1934 winning figures. It isn't dif- ficult to recall what happened to Buddy. Various ailments had Buddy moaning and groaning and out of the game much of the time. So sad was his plight that at one time he considered going on the vol- untarily retired list. And he finished his curtailed season with an average of .270. Now Appling's crown is bearing .| him down. It was “just luck,” said Luke after hefwon the championship with his fine .388. Maybe he's not %0 lucky this time. Recent history of the American League championship would have the pendulum of fortune swinging the other way. Woe is Luke. Appling.

PITTSBURGH DIZZY OVERRAGINGBUCS Nears Height of Base Ball Goofiness as All Cross Fingers for Luck. < By the Associated Press. ITTSBURGH, May 24.—The base ball situation is alarming in Pittsburgh. Every one in town, from yelping newsies to millionaire steel magnates, is going around with his fingers crossed, tongue in cheek as Pie Traynor's swashbuckling Pirates hang on to their lead in the National League pennant race, No city heretofore has approached Detroit for base ball goofiness, but Pittsburgh is getting up there rapidly. Since the Pirates raced out in front of the pennant parade, home attend- ance at games has tripled while in- terest in strikes, murders and floods has become secondary to the deeds of the town’s base ball heros. ‘The most amazing development came last Thursday night, when base ball night was held at a prominent Pittsburgh club. Not since the night of the Armistice has the club had a full gathering for a pep meeting of any kind, but when the ball players showed up the place was jammed to the doors by wild cheering club men. Players Also Jittery. SAY the fans are going around with their fingers crossed is' put- ting it mildly. Frankly, the whole city, including the ball players, is a bit jittery. They're afraid it will turn into a horrible nightmare. You see, the Pirates have done this same thing before and cracked up with a bang that was heard from coast to coast. In 1914 they won 15 of thejr first 17 games and landed seventh at the end of the season, 25'; games behind the Boston Braves. In 1921 they rode into New York in August with a 712- game lead, only to get trimmed five straight by the Giants, who went on to win the pennant for themselves. Still, it must be remembered the Pirates have not always cracked up and may not this year. In 1925 they atarted east with a 31,-game lead and mopped up to win the flag by winning 15 out of 17 of their battles in enemy back yards. In 1927 they proved their class by hanging on and clinching the pennant the day before the season ended. Pie Traynor On Spot. TRAYNOR, a quiet fellow, hasn't much to say except to admit that he, too, has his fingers crossed. “The future looks bright,” says Pie, “because we're in front with four men hitting only .220 up until today. The Cubs and Giants are bound to give us trouble, but the closely bunched stand- ings are in our favor. If all the clubs do well, we won’t have to win so many. But if one club loses 114 games like Boston did in 1935, why, it will be tough.” It's & tough spot for Traynor. He's got Pittsburgh as hot as a steel fur- nace over & pennant and if he misses— well, he was a great guy.

Of course, it is possible that Griff never seriously objected to signing collegians before they finished school. He merely may have been unsuccessful. In the Spring of 1936, in Orlando, & lanky first baseman from nearby Rollins College worked out with the Nationals and promptly was tagged | a5 a great prospect. If memory serves, his name was Ed Levy, or Joe Levy, and he was fancied by Griff. The Yankees, however, reputedly waved $1,000 under his nose and, presto, he was out of Griffith’s reach. Those who saw him say he will be heard from some future season. Knocky Takes Short Cut. RIFF also missed Bozie Berger . when he left Maryland. Berger was signed by Cleveland. Another local lad, Bill Werber, supposedly had his tuition at Duke paid by the | Yankees, in return for which he signed a contract. A recent Maryland product, Charlie Keller, also went to the Yankees. Keller now is playing for Newark and is banging the ball. Some say he will develop into a better outfielder and hitter than Joe Di Maggio or Tommy Henrich. The Washington club, with Griff as spokesman, explained its failures to sign these boys in logical enough fashion. “They either wanted mortgages paid on the farm, or a flat bonus that seemed to me to be all out of pro- portion,” declared Griffith. Thomas, apparently, was an ex- ception. At any rate, Knocky is breaking in with Trenton and he may have a chance of climbing. He at least has chosen ‘the short cut to the majors, which is catching. American youth may be doing all sorts of things, but what the youth is not do- ing is easy to answer—it’s not buying masks and mitts and catching be- hind the bat.

Joe Judge dropped into Grifith Stadium the other day to ses the Nationals play for the first time. Joe # In the past saw them when his Georgetown team played them, but he was a coach that | day. This was his first peek as a | spectator. Joe was asked about the shortage of catchers. How many “went out” for catching at Georgetown, whose club is un- defeated in college ranks? “The same number as I'm carrying,” said Joe. “Exactly two came out and I'm carrying both. No, I haven't seen many good catchers. As a matter of fact, there are only a couple who looked good. One is this Thomas kid at Maryland. But I wouldn't care to recommend them.” All Clubs Feel Pinch. THE Cards, who were supposed to have a monopoly on the young catchers of base ball, haven't been too successful with youngsters. Brusie Ogrowdowski is hitting just above .200, and Mickey Owen is not doing that well. As for the rest of the major league catchers, most of them have been up for years, and if they were outfielders or infielders they would have slipped back to the minors, per- haps, or at least deprived of regular Jobs. Mickey Cochrane of the Detroits now is catching his twelfth year in the American League. Virgil Davis of the Reds has been up nine years, So has Bill Dickey of the Yanks. Gabby Hartnett has been catching for 15 years and the Cubs can't find anybody better. Rollie Hemsley first came up nine years ago with Pittsburgh. Ernie Lombardi has been in the National League since 1931 and Al Lopez since 1930. Gus Mancuso has been knocking around for nine years and Luke Sewell now is spending his sixteenth season in the American League. Youngest of all the regular catchers in the American League is Frankie Pytlak'of Cleveland, who has been up only four years. In the last couple of years Di Mag- gio, hailed as another Cobb, has come up. There is Henrich and Bob Feller and Buddy Lewis and a lot of other kids. But how many kid catchers have come up and is anybody calling them modern Schalks or Klings or Bresna- hans? Griffs’ Records BATTING. Q 1] P ] i} £ ¥ c000! Qh‘s S50 i o S50 20t 29102230920 k).

'HERE may be some sort of ex- planatjon in the fact that they've demonstrated an uncanny ability to make their own breaks. Inning after inning they'll go along behind. Then things start to pop—and out come the A's (last year they were called bush leaguers) orn top. But that cer- tainly doesn’t account for the fact that they've won 15 of 24 games to date. Yesterday, however, they didn't fool around. Frankie Hayes (batting aver= age, .255) stepped up to the plate in the third inning with two mates aboard &nd slapped one of Oral Hile debrand’s slants out of the lot, pav~ ing the way for a 6-2 win over the sinking St. Louis Browns, to cash in | on Harry Kelley's six-hit pitching job. The victory left them just a pere centage shade over the Yankees, who walloped Cleveland’s Indians, 7-3, with George Selkirk scoring his seventh homer, as 59,492 fans, biggest crowd of the season, looked on. The 13 hits the Yanks collected, added to their 16 of Saturday and 13 of Fri- day, left little doubt that the swat squad is once more teeing off. If the Athletics’ pitching lasts, therefore, the A's-Yanks series in Yankee Sta- dium next week end, shapes up as the tip-off on just how far Mack's phan- tom Philadelphians are going.
