TAGGING ALL THE BASES

DOME Bush is said to be seeking
a seasoned pitcher for his stagger-
ing staff. According to the wise
acres the deal will go through
TODAY or tomorrow. The Griffs are
sadly in need Of right-handed
pitcher able to take his turn on
the mound. Russell is distinctly a
relief twirler, while neither Zah-
niser nor Johnson seems able to
stand the strain.
The Dodgers raided the left
handed $4,000 delivery of Jock
Bentley for ten hits in a matter
of seven innings and beat the
Giants, 8 to 7. This was the first
defeat for the McGraw entry after
winning eight straight.
Just to show that the age Of
miracles is not gone. the Phillies
won a double header from the
Braves, 6 to 4, and II to 2.
Scoring runs in fits and starts
the Red Sox climbed aboard Rom
mel in the eighth for four runs
and the Athletics finished second
by a score of to 6. Shanks'
homer in the eighth furnished the
fireworks.
coming from tne rear AFTER the
Reds had scored twice in the
tenth, the Cardinals replied with
three runs against Couch and
Keck, and won. to 4. Pinelli's
care-free throw allowed the Cards
to tie the score in the eighth.
An avalanche of pinch hitters
and a timely Single by Weis, a
substitute, gave the Cubs a 5.to-4
decision over the Pirates in the
eleventh inning.

Has a Weak Arm.

PARKY MATHEWS, Connie
- Mack's new outfielder from
~ Milwaukee, has a weak throw
ing arm which prevents him from
being quite the star he should be.
Harry Riconda, third sacker,
shapes up to US as better than
Sammy Hale at third for the AS,
but Connie doesn't agree with US,
which is a sad thing.
) Jocko Conlon, former Harvard
captain and shortstop, has failed
to make a regular berth for him
self with the Braves, owing to
weak hitting.
Roy Fish, outfielder with the
White Sox, is an ordinary player.
Wade and Fisher, young out
fielders with the Griffmen, have
failed to make much of a splash
in their first year.
It is tough task for a young
ster, lacking experience, to hop
right out and alarm the world.
Very few in the long history of
the national game have achieved
this honor and very few are doing
it now.
The Washington times., 1923-05-29

On March %, at Bradentown,
Fla, Freigau played five innings
in right field and the rest of the
game at short. He got one hit,
home run out over Wade's head
in centerfield.
At Tampa, the next day,
Freigau played third base for
five innings.
There was something about this
youngster that attracted attention
to him. A former batboy for the
Browns when Branch Hickey was
leading the American League en-
try, Freigau was well posted .on
all the small details going with
the game as played in the big
league. He showed that in every
move. He was not the usual
green kid from some bush outfit.
Freigau was knocking at the
gate when the Cardinals opened
the season with Lavan at short
and it was not long before he was
given the job. He is now making
good in large gobs and is SEN
sation in the older circuit.
