at Barracks Show

When Eddie Bowen steps
through the ropes at Washington
Barracks next Thursday night, 1t
will be a case of do or die with the
little blonde battler. In meeting
Nate Carp he is facing a veteran
of over seventy ring battles. Carp
is of the Battling Nelson type,

Carp is can be obtained from the
fact that he defeated Len Bremen,
of Lancaster, Pa, who recently
took the measure of Joe Lynch.

golden opportunity to step into
fame and money and is leaving no
stone upturned in his effort to be
right for this important fight.

Bucky Harris, "We'll play on a

FOURTEEN WINS
FOR GR|FFNEN
THIS MONTH
Nine Times, on the Other
Hand, Have They Been
WaIIoped by Rivals
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports, Editor The Times.

Since July started the world cham
pion Griffmen have played twenty
three games, winning fourteen of
them. This is not the greatest rec
ord in the world, neither is. it the
worst. The team has remained in
the pennant hunt, though suffering
the loss Of Walter Johnson, Joe
Judge and Roger Peckinpaugh and
having Rice, Goslin and Bluege
slump terribly at the bat.
On July 2 the champions opened
five-game series in Boston. Four
were victories, though Johnson was
out of the game. Had he faced
Howard Ehmke it might have been
a clean sweep for the Griffs.
Four games were played with
New York, one here on Sunday,
July 5, before the team went west.
The other three were played in
New York. OF the four the cham
pions won three.
Opening the western tour in Chi
cago, the/Griffs broke even in four
games, unsteady pitching causing
one defeat. Terrific heat hurt the
team in st. Louis and three OF the
four games were defeats, the last
one by the one-sided score of IA
to 8.
The champions were still in a.
slump in Detroit. dropping two out
Of three, but they came back with
A rush in Cleveland winning all
three games played.
The outstanding feature Of the
month has been the remarkable
pitching of Stanley Coveleskie.
Given away last winter by the
Cleveland Indians because he was
supposed to be done, Covey has
kept the Griffs in the race all sea-
son. He is never used out of turn
and Is always strong enough to go
the distance. His one really bad
game was in ST. Louis where he
was a victim Of the heat after
spending two sleepless nights.
The champions have received their
best pitching from three veterans,
Walter Johnson, Stanley Coveleskie
and Dutch Ruether. This trio is
expected to maintain their high
average right through the season.
too. Zachary els not as effective
this year as he was last, though
he turns in good games now and

DOUBLEHEADER
BOOKED FOR
TOMORROW
Chicago White Sox First Club
to Appear in Three Weeks
Home Stay
By LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports Editor The Times

Beginning tomorrow, the world
champions will be at home for
three weeks, meeting all the west
ern clubs and the New York Yam
KEGS.
Eddie Collins and his Chicago
White Sox open the ball tomorrow
with a doubleheader. This is caused
by the postponed game protested
by Collins on his first visit to the
sessed $500 by the American
Leagues board of directors for
not having played that game off
on June 8, an open date in the
schedule. Collins claimed the game
by forfeit but lost out because he
had his team in Philadelphia that
day instead of in Washington.
Ty Cobb brings his Detroit Jungle
Cats to town next Saturday for
four games. Next week, Wednes-
day, George Sisters st. Louis
Browns will appear for the first
of four games. On August 9 the
Cleveland Indians will stare four
game series at the Griffith Stadium.
The New York Yankees will close
the present home stay Of the cham
pions with three games beginning
August IA. Those three games will
mark the farewell appearance of
the Yankees in Washington for the
season.
The White Sox are in a hot
fight with the Browns AMI Jungle
Cats for third place. If his team
gets steady pitching, Collins gang
may finish in the coveted position,
but the hurting has been rather un-
steady and the Detroit outfit is
being favored for the honors.
At least one of the White Sox
pitchers is expected to cause trouble
for the Griffmen. Roaring" Lyons
earned a regular berth this spring
by his excellent pitching against
the Griffs in Chicago. He had been
relief hurler but his fine work
against the champions brought pro-
motion and he has been the main
stay of the mound staff ever since.
He is the teams leading pitcher,
winning thirteen and losing five
games for an average Of 1923.
In the ranks of the White Sox
is the American Leagues leading
runmaker and base stealer. He is
Johnny MostiI, the little center
fielder. Mostil is playing brilliant
ly this season, both in the field
and at the bat. He has a batting
average of .314 for ninety-two
games, has scored eighty-two runs
and stolen thirty-four bases. He is
the idol of the South Side rooters
in Chicago.
The Washington times., 1925-07-27

slouches themselves, it is Earl's
custom to let out wild, ringing
shout. It cannot be reduced to
cold type. It must be heard to
be appreciated. Some call it the
Sacramento warhoop," which is
probably as good name as any
other.
Speaking of McNeely, many
thoght him doomed to bench duty
this year. But the young man
has steadily come ahead until to-
day he ranks with the best lead
off men in, the league. He has
an uncanny way of reaching first
base. He is lightning itself run
ming the bases and his fielding
needs no apologies. A year ago
he was ignorant of the, art of
playing the sun. Today he knows
the trick.
AS big Lacquer of merit, Earl
McNeely, of Sacramento, Cal, is

All Ask for Goose.

NOOSE GOSLIN is easily the
N most talked of athlete in the
ranks of the Griffmen, his popu-
larity running from staid business
men in ball parks to smiling red
caps in the railroad stations.
When the Griffmen arrived in
New York the other night from
Utica they were met by a swarm
of red caps.
"Where's the Goose? Is the
Goose here? Where's the Goose,
where is he?" were the questions
hurled at other members of the
party.
The King is not yet dead, but
his successor is on the way. Babe
Ruth is fast approaching the
climax of his diamond career, but
right on his heels strides Goose
Goslin, the Wild Goose of the
Potomac, who seems destined to
take Ruth's crown from him. One
swing around the circuit with the
champions would convince anybody
of this.

Scott Is Ready.

EVERETT SCOTT, after fun
~ bling around for a couple of
weeks, has finally played himself
into good condition and will
be doubly valuable to the cham
pions from now on. Not only has
his fielding improved, but his bat
ting eye is clear once more.
Scott has never been a hard
hitter but, like Jack Barry when
with the Athletics, he is most
dangerous hitter in the pinches.
1t is probable that he will do
much pinch hitting down through
the remaining weeks of the cam
paign, and he will do it we'll.
Scott is probably playing his
last season this summer. He will
retire to go into business at
Fort Wayne, Ind, during the
winter. He sure had a good time
while he was in the game. You
can't take that away from him.
