The Washington times., 1920-05-19


with one or two exceptions. Kid
Gleason is bringing to Washington
, the same team that nosed out the In
dams last year and got it's bumps
from the Cincinnati Reds. Urban
Faber, a gross failure last season. Is
once more with the Sox and pitching
frst-class ball. But Chick Gandil,
, former heavyweight fstic champion
OF the league, is no more. Chicks re-
tirement is surrounded with interro-
cation marks. put he's retired. that's
all.
Ted Jourdsn, who has been frozen
Off the White Sox for several years
by the presence OF such a good man
as Gandil. has been rescued from
Pongo Joe. Cantillon's Minneapolis
Millers, and is holding down the
initial sack to suit Kid Gleason, Char
lie Comiskey, and those guys In the
blue denim who occupy the bleachers
at the South Side ball yard in Chicago.
Risberk On Injured List.
Charlie, Rjsberg is on the injured
list, having been spiked, but he may
get into the game here Most Grip
pies do come to life when they visit
Washington. If he doesn't play, Buck
Weaver will go to short and Harvey
Mcclellan. said to be a wonderful
felder and q nevery hitter, will hold
down third base.
The outneld trio is the same, with
Joe Jackson, Happy Felsch. and either
Memo Leibold or Shane Collins in the
Gardens. Eddie Murphy still draws
salary for practicing and hitting
and running in pinches. Some guys
do have 1t soft.
Kid Gleason's greatest worry is his
pitching staff. Because of that staff
the Reds made monkeys OF the Sox
last October. The return of Red Fa-
ber, star Of the worlds series be-
tween the Sox and Giants in 1917
means much to Gleason and so does
the recent good work of young Will
kinson. The Sox have a marvellous
baseball machine in all departments
but the box. If Gleasan can be rea-
sonably sure of four capable fingers
well, the Cleveland Indians won't
win the 1920 2gonfalon without
struggle.
Grins Have Little Tine.
Clark Griffith's lads have little
time now remaining for their morn
Ang drills. Four games with the
White Sox and three with the Cleve-
land Indians are yet to be played be-
fore the Griffs hit the pike. Follow
ing the series with the league lead
ers, the Griffs go to Philadelphia for
three games in two days. Then Sum
day game here with the Mackmen
and a short hop to New York for
five games in three days.
On June the Boston Red Sox ap-
pear in the Capital for four days and
from then until June % Washington
fans will have to get their baseball
from the newspapers, for the team
will be touring the West and stop
ping at Boston before coming home
for the Fourth of July.
The st. Louis Browns went away
from here last night a bruised and
battered bunch, victims of perhaps
the worst lambasting handed to them
in years, certainly the worst ever re-
ceived from the Washingtonians. The
official scorer collapsed from over
work in the sixth frame. Assistants
after working long into the night.
found that the Griffs had won, II to S,
collecting twenty-threc hits for them
selves, with the Browns gathering no
fewer than eighteen. ........
Pitchers Arc Slaughtered.
Pitchers were slaughtered unmerci-
fully during the course of the after
noon. Elam Van Glider, Lefty Lei
Geld, Bill Burwell and gink called
Bayne were victims of the enraged
Grifs. AL Schacht and J. Gruntiing
