The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1925-07-10

" Davis, once with. the Griffs, is a,
ecrappy player. He thought that
Harris had tried to cut him down
with. his spikes. For a split second
Dayigi waited for Harris to start
!. ,SomefhingS Then he, bawled him
.out. as. the Washington manager
trudged- over to his position. That
was Enough for the. alert Chicago
fans. They set up booing Of he
popular Washington leader, the
--Soungstef who had piloted his
team to- q world championship in
his first season as a. manager. And
they never ceased.
: Buckyn. came to bat with two
--sOut and two ON i'm the seventh
,. amid wild chorus of jeers and
b0Os. He hammered q long fly
= down into : the left field corner.
Had il gone safe, the Champions
might have won then and there,
but Bib Falk made q brilliant
running catch down among the
tlOafiig policemen and 6irty-shirt-
led StOckyards lads, ending the
frame and so Bucly was jeered
again
:. In the ninth Bucky came to bat
once more with, two out. Two
runs were needed to tie the sco.e
and two runners were on the
paths when the scrappy Griff
leader spanked hit to > center,
scoring those two runs and putting
his team in the game. Did those
;. fans cheer? Most assuredly not.
They set up. fiendish chorus of
Jeers and boos. With catcalls md
Gnsuits of greater. or less weight. /
Harris came to bat again IN
that important eleventh inning.
4. away from their opponents and
again he was given a chorus Of
abuse. He paid no attention to II,
however, and took a free ticket to
:. first base, moving up on wild
pitch and later scoring when Sam
Rice slapped his single to righs.
: AL the way:sto the bench the fans
rode the Washington manager, the
young man who till then had been
b pGaTne favorite.
Eddie Collins is generally cheered |
ein Washington as he comes 20 bat, |
carefully placing his chewing gum
/. on the top OF ms cap. washington
fans respect his ability. However,
1T is quite possible that wsen ne
once more appears in the Capital
on July 18th the Washington fans
will remember his protest back in
June and also the jeers and misses
and boos of Chicago fans here
yesterday for Bucky Harris.
If will not be surprising if Col.
Inns Is given some of the treat

won't be right, but it will be
most human. You can't take that
: aUay from the Washington bugs.
''DaVis was wrong" said Bucky
Harris after the game. He
thought 1 was trying to get him.
but was not. If I had, I'd have
got him. He's all right. He
fights for everything, can't
/. blame him for that. He's good
player; that's what II think OF
him. TaO bad he made that false
fans on me. Burt 1 waste no sleep
on the rOOters who ride me.
Maybe he: is sorry now he did it."
Never the less, it was a strange
thing to see Harris, till now most
popular with Chicago fans. booed
and Missed like a dog. Later, when
Johnny Mostil wanted time out to
have an injured ankle mended by
club trainer. Bucky Harris willingly
permitted him to return to the
lineup. Yet the fans continued to
.hiss and boo him as he went to bat
