MAYS READY TO PITCH.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, May % LP).-
Carl Mays, the Cincinnati Nationals S
pitcher, has reported that he be-
lieved his arm in condition to permit
him to take his regular turn in the
pitchers box. Mays just returned from
Rochester, N. Y, where he had his
arm treated. He was the Reds big
winner last year and his absence this
season has wrecked the entire de-
fensive machinery Of the team.
Evening star., 1925-05-29

Sox are no joke team. Those birds
sure drive in a lot of runs. I'll bet
they've scored as many as any other
club this year. Ehmke's game at the
stadium was the first time he was
right" this year. And if you don't
think he was right-ask Bob Meusel.
With little better pitching and a
little more time for team work, Boston
will worry the best of them"
That afternoon the Boston Braves
had taken their third in a row from
the Giants. SO / heartily agreed that
Boston was worrying the best of them
although Babe meant Boston in the
American League.
Absence Big Blow to Yanks.
Ruth's explanation of the Yankees
present position in the race was in
interesting and modest. He made no
boasts as TO what would happen
when he returned to the lineup and
he did not infer that his club would
be any higher had he been with
them right along. But every man
ager knows what Ruth means to the
Yankees. Not only his bat has been
missed, but the moral effect of his
absence has depressed the other
New York players. This cannot be
denied. And opposing players, pitch
ers in particular, have been affected,
too. With Ruth out of consideration.
opposing clubs face no outstanding
threat. Rival pitchers work entirely
different, as a sport writer in our
party explained, who had accompa-
MED the Yankees on their Western
trip.
ITS a fact" said that writer.
with Babe out of the way, the
pitchers take il easier. Eddie Col
Inns told me so in Chicago. He said
the White Sox pitchers work entirely
different. When Babe is in the line
up they pitch their heads off TO get
the first two men, and then pitch
even harder 10 get the Babe. With
no Ruth TO clean the bases, the rival
pitcher doesn't work SO hard
This was an interesting way Of
putting it and very very much to
my way of thinking. With Ruth
back in the lineup I look for the
Yankees to take a brace. They should
leave the second division before long.
viii they win the pennant? Well
the way things have changed around
that's a hard question to answer off
hand, although Babe interrupted with
this reply: Don't forget we've got
40 more games TO play before this
things over"
Yankees Sure to Climb.
For mat reason dnythlng might
happen. Before Ruth took sick l
thought the Yankees would be strong
contenders. His absence has handi-
capped the club. but / don't think be
yond improvement. They may not
win the pennant. but base ball men
expect them to finish in the money.
AS Babe walked, none too briskly.
TO his motor car, l said: Take il
easy, boy" And it was the most
important thing | said during our
visit. It's a good many years since
the first injury to my knee, and vet
only last year it came back and put
me on the hospital list. | know the
value of taking it easy and hope
Babe Ruth profits by my experience
and advice
The color of his skin and sparkle
in his eye shows his constitution is
in elegant condition. All he needs
is strength, and that takes a little
time and patience. If Ruth is care
full, / believe his illness and proper
recovery will add three years 10 his
life as base ball star. And let me
say, he is fortunate in having a CON
siderate manager like Higgins, who
will not play him until he is right.

box for the third frame.
G0slin's triple in the fourth went
into the scoreboard and rebounded to
the field. the ball being in sight Of
the umpires all the time. Buck Har-
ris thought the hit should be a homer.
claiming the ball had been driven
from the field of play. but Umpire
Geisel ruled such hit must be classed
with one against the fence. on which
the batter is entitled only TO what he
can get.
Peck. at bat. with one out and the
ness in the fourth session, had a
three-and-one count in his favor when
he drilled into double play.
Maybe the As are slow on the hoof.
but they certainly keep their heads
they have. When Goslin fooled Gal
loway's single in the fourth the
Macklet lost no time in streaking TO
second base. Simmons did the same
when his hit was scrambled by Rice
in the sixth.
Harriss added to his batting fame
in the seventh, when he knocked a
texas league single to right. The ball
bounded by Rice so far that Galloway
and Cochrane scored. the last-men-
toned getting home from first base,
but Harriss had TO pull up at the
initial sack.
Judge got only as far as first ba sc
on a hit in the eighth that sent Joe
Harris home from the initial bag.
1t was a wallop against the center
field wall and Simmons throw to sec
ond made the batter turn back after
rounding first. Joe Harris kept on
the way, however, and just beat Gal
loway's relay to the plate.

| To boost his average against Wash
| ington pitching to .444, Harriss got a
| single off Nedn Gregg late in the sec
ond game yesterday. And last year,

+ Bill Dineen. jumping behind the

! from Buck Harris bat in the first in
| ming of the opening game yesterday.
| The ball scraped across Bills head,
| tearing off cap and mask.
I'm the AS starting frame Joe Har-
ris backed against the left field stand
barrier and made a great leap for
| Simmons drive, but missed the ball
| by inches, and the smash went for
| double.
Buck Harris contributed a startling
bit of fielding in the same round when
| he dashed behind second base to grab
Cochrane's sizzler that seemed labeled
a sure hit and threw for force play
| on Galloway.
! Joe Harris looked none too good on
! the paths when he was caught going
| into the far corner standing up in the
! third inning after a final strike had
been called against Judge. There was
a three and two count against the
| batter when Joe and Goslin left their
stations, and Joe ambled to third as
thouogh certain the next pitch would
be ball. Eochranes heave to Dykes
completed a soft double play.
In the fourth round Ruel sent a
drive down the left field line for an
easy two-ba gger. but he was overam-
| bilious and in trying to convert the
| hit into a triple became an easy out,

game.
With the bases filed and two gone
| in the AS sixth, Miller attempted to
| duck an inside pitch from Russell, but
the ball rebounded from Bing's bat to
Toe Harris for a soft retirement.
Three of the athletes broke into the
homerun class in the initial encoun-
ter. Miller and Peck slammed round
trippers into the upper left field stand
and Bishop lifted one over the right
field barrier.
Bluege ran against the stand back
of third base to make spectacular
catch of Simmons foul fly in the
opening inning of the second game
Al and the other Macks protested Um-
pire Geisel's retiring decision, claim
ing that the ball in it's descent had
scraped against the upper tier rail-
A lively row ensued, during which
