assignments.
The more one sees of Harry He'll
mann in action, the more one realizes
the Tiger is a very capable outfielder.
His shoetop catch of Earl McNeely's
looper to right-center in the seventh
inning was the fielding feature Of
yesterdays game.
Bucky Harris had perfect day at
many doubles. All were clean-cut
wallops.
Joe Judge needed a rest, Manager
Harris figured. so Moon Harris was
sent to first base. The understudy
was unable to get hit, but he gave
Heinie Manush plenty of work in
center field.
Muddy Ruel was permitted to idle
also, Hank SEVERED going behind the
bat for the Champs. Hank got a
single and double, the latter hit
driving home what proved to be the
decisive tally of the fray.
Ossie Bluege was the only man in
the game who attempted to steal a
fourth round, but was nailed by Larry
Woodall.
Goose Goslin tried manfully to break
into the hit column in the seventh.
He sent two drives down the right
field line that were foul by inches
only before grounding out to Blackie
O'Rourke.
Only 1ashy catch of a liner by
Bob Fothergill in the eighth inning
kept Bluege from his third hit of the
day. Big Bob had to move fast to
his left to spear the ball.
Umpires Geisel, Hildebrand and
Moriarty put in a busy day. They
worked through the six-inning tilt be-
tween midget teams that was held be-
fore the big leaguers swung into
action.
Nearly 5000 youngsters who were
Boys day guests Of the Washington

That double-header that Pittsburgh
won from Philadelphia the other day
was one of the best things the Pirates
have accomplished this season. 1t
offset the losing of another double
header to Philadelphia, which was
one of the worst things the Pirates
have done.
Teams in the thick of a champion
ship fight which are able TO win
double-headers are more than doubly
blessed. A double-header is only two
games, vet it often is just enough to
give the winner the edge, and it can
not be any part of a game lost, which
is the bane of every managers ex
istence. Games lost eat up percent
age faster than games won regain it.
Have Ups and Downs.
Since the season began the Wash
ingtons have been in third place the
first week end, first place the next
then second for nine weeks, then first
for two and for the last three and Il
fraction second again. In the same
period the Athletics were in second
place for the first two weeks, in third
for the next one. then in first for
eight weeks, then in second for two
and back in first since July IS. The
Athletics have been in first place on
eight week ends, as against three for
Washington.
That doesn't prove that the Ath-
letics will win the pennant, but it
! dtsposes of the slurs of those who
| call the AS a flash team. No ordi-
| nary team can hold first place for
eight weeks in a big league race.
| 1t is still the West that is making
| trouble for Washington. The Cham
! pions do not gain enough in the West
| to make it look as if they can win
! at their present pace. If they have
| the ability to rush at the finish, they
| may win out-and, of course, rushing
| finishes are something that the club
| knows how to stage.
Pirates Started Poorly.
In the National League the careers
4, of the leaders have been vastly differ
| ent. Pittsburgh was at the tail end
on the first week end, second the next
and on May was fifth. 1t dropped
| to the tail end again, then jumped TO
| fourth, to fifth. to third to second
! and then on July to first
They continued in first until Au-
gust /, when they dropped into second
| momentarily, only to bounce back into
the lead. The Giants were second at
the end of the first week, then first
for ten consecutive weeks They
dropped back to second July 4 and
| stayed there until August /, when
they raised their heads only to have
them cracked good and hard and fell
back to second.

Apart altogether from the money
