ton now. The slight blood clot on
his brain is taking its time about
disappearing and the player suf-
fers from severe dizziness in at
tOmpts to stand. Il is possible that
he will go home to Washington
when able to travel and await the
return of the team next week.
WhitehiII Visits Judge.
Doctor Cassidy. an expert in
charge OF Judges case, believes
that the injured player will suffer
no Ill effects from his injury, but
Bucl1y Harris. from a baseball
angle. is wondering whether or not
Judge will be bat shy for the re-
Inainder Of the season, especially
against south-paw pitching. If the
Griffmen are to finish the season
without Judge, they viii be handi-
capped enough. but IL they are also
to play q world series without him,
the handicap may he too much.
Earl Whitehill, the Detroit pitcher
whose fast ball knocked Judge out
of Navin Field into st. Mary's
Hospital, visited the injured athlete
yesterday. Whitehill feels badly
over the matter and wanted to ex-
plain to Judge his absolute inno-
cence Of any intent to injure.
Judge knows that Whitehfll had no
intention of beaning him and they
chatted in a most friendly manner
until the nurse called halt.
Whitehill was using q high fast
ball against the left-hand hitters all
day. Judge had seen two of them
breeze by and figured the next one
would be q curve, breaking away
from hiIns His spikes were hooked
into the ground and he was sway
ing toward the plate in order to
hit at the expected curve when the
ball turned out to be a fast one,
breaking toward him. He had no
time to shift his feet and simply
ducked his head. The ball landed
on his skull just where 1T begins
TO thicken. Two inches lower and
Judge would have faced death. AS
it is. he is dizzy young man yet
and may feel the effects for many
days.
Joe Harris Doing Well.
With Judge out of the lineup,
Joe Harris is the regular first
eacker. Manager Harris has no
intentions of recalling Mule Shir-
ley from Jersey City. Harris is
hitting the ball with might and
main and his fielding is good
enough. considering the weight OF
his bat. Meanwhile, when Jeanes
reports at st. Louis, Manager Har-
ris will have another outfielder for
immediate use.
The world champions are watch
ing the score board with confidence
these days. They believe them
selves about to run away from
the Mackmen. If not this week,
certainly next. when they go up
against the AS themselves.
The schedule would seem to favor
the Mackmen a bit this week. The
Griffs leave tonight for st. Louis
Immediately following the game at
Navin Field. They have three
games with the Browns and they
are certain to be tough. The
Macknen will be battling the Tigers
and Indians while the champions
are meeting the Browns and White
Sox. In other words, the cham
pions nust tackle first division
clubs while their rivals are facing
weaker clubs in the second divI-
sion.

This is where we're likely to
fool folks" said Manager Harris
today. THE Browns are rough TO
us generally, especially in st. Louis.
but feel sure we'll take two out
Of three there this trip, and repeat
II Chicago. II the Indians do to
the AS what they did a month
ago, well go home with a com.
Portable lead for first place."
Certain of an even break here,
having already won two out of
three games from the Tigers, the
champions make their final APP
pearance Of the season at Navin
field today. Jezebel Tecumseh
Zachary will do the hurting for
the -Griffs, probably against Ed
Wells, the big southpaw with the
slow delivery. Rip Collins is also
b possibility.
Dutch Ruether is suffering from
p sore arm. It is not serious, but
Trainer Martin believes that a brief
rest will do him good and fit the
veteran southpaw for a strong
finish. He may face the Browns.
II he feels like it, but it is not
expected that he will enter the
box until Chicago is reached and
maybe not even there
