pitchers. Now he is worrying
more about the failure of his
regulars to land on the ball, es-
pecially when hits mean tallies.
The Browns and White Sox
have been playing rocky ball ever
since the season started, falling
easy victims to the Tigers and
Indians. If they continue their
present style, the Griffs may be
fortunate enough to come home
a bit higher in the race than they
are now.
No pennant race was ever set
tied before Labor Day. Many
have not been decided even at that
late date. Eastern writer's are
not going into raptures over the
Washington club. They do not
believe Bush's team will get any
where. 1t is possible that Bush's
team will pull up those writer's
with a jerk before Labor Day
rolls around.

Griffs Leave Soon.

" HE Griffmen depart Sunday
night for Detroit where they
open their first swing
through the West. They will not
return to the home roost until
they have visited all the Western
cities and Boston. They open a
series here on May 81 with the
New York Yankees.
While travelling, this will be the
program followed by the Griffs:
At Detroit-May 8, 9, 10, II.
At Cleveland-May IL, 10, ID,
Is.
At Chicago-May 16, II, IS, 10.
At St. Louis-May 20, 81, 90.
At Boston-May "a, 25, 26.
Three weeks will be spent on
the road; eighteen games will be
played. Much of the possible
success or failure of the ball club
should be determined on that trip.
Manager Bush is banking on
having his pitching stand up until
the batsmen begin to hit, some
thing they have yet to do. AT

Broken Pitching Staff Makes
Outlook Gloomy to
Bush's Gang.
BvLOUIs A. BOUCHER.

DOME Bush's athletes are
likely to leave for Detroit Sun
day night in last place. They are
sure to be tailenders unless they
take a strong grip on themselves
and show more stamina. Today,
with the st. Louis Browns, they
are tied at 1913, with but one
games margin over the Chicago
White Sox. AS they open their
swing through the West in De-
troit, proceeding thence to Cleve-
land, they will have a long, hard
struggle to get anywhere by the
time hot weather arrives.
Bush's pitching staff is shot to
pieces right now Mogridge is out

ary and Johnson have not yet
shown their form of 1922, especially
in endurance. Warmoth and Hol-
inRsworth appear unable to main
tain any standard of efficiency.
Allen Russell, unable to pitch nine
innings. is wasting himself as a
relief nurler.. He has appeared IN
seven of the twelve games played
to date. Hankins and McGrew can
not be trusted to start games.
And that's that.
When the season started Bush,s
pitchers looked better than the rest
of the gang. Now, two weeks
later, the pitchers are crumpling.

SON, manager of the Brook

them folks who kick about rainy
days. While he isn't exactly a
ball player anymore, | can in
clude him in my list, as compared
to the clubs recent playing he
looks like a star performer.
Toney, who is now with the
st. Louis Nationals, and who give
the Cincinnati club only four hits
last Saturday, is one of those
sturdy boys who wore bare feet
when he was a boy, and if it
rains or not it doesn't matter to
him so long as there are taxi
cabs.
My friend and catcher Mr..
Schalk, of Ihe White Sox, likes
to go to the movies when it rains,
because if he stays around his
hotel when they are on the road,
he has to listen to a lot of ham
pitchers who try to explain the
reason they boot so many games
is that they used to be football
players in the respective colleges.
Schalk is so used to converslng
with umpires it would seem at
first chances that he wouldn't
mind hearing pitchers, but there
is a limit, even if it is three
miles from shore.
