AS END THEIR
HUB VISITS
TODAY
WaIberg and RommeI Expect
ed to Oppose Red Sox in
Final DoubIeheader

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE Philadel-
phia Athletics make their final ap-
pearance Of the year here today in
a double.header with the Red Sox
at Fenway Park. RUDE Walberg
and Ed Rommel are expected to
pitch for the league leaders, but 1t
doesn't make much difference
which Of the home team Is selected
for either game. The Macknlen
have won fifteen out OF their last
twenty games. which is maintaining
an. average Of $50, and are looked
upon as certain to cop both ends
Of today's double attraction.
I'VE are making no pennant
claims" said Earl Mack, captain Of
the Athletics, today. There are
plenty of pitfalls ahead for any
team believing itself a winner in
August. But we are going to fight
for every game as it comes along.
That's what Washington did q year
ago and that's what we are trying
to do now. However, most of the
boys feel sure OF playing in the
world series and I like them to be
confident"
Two exhibitions have been booked
for the AS before they open their
last swing around the West in St
Louis. Tomorrow they appear in
Hartford. Conn.,, and Monday they
play the Pirates In Pittsburgh.

OHORT STUFF q
- FOR ROOTERD

The Griffmen VIII make a hur-
sried departure tomorrow evening
after finishing their third and
last contest Of the year against
the New York Yankees, boarding
the rattler for Cleveland Monday
they do nothing, but will be right
back on the job Tuesday. Their
next off day will be Monday, Au-
gust 81, which they will spend on
a train, travelling from Chicago to
Washington.
Win Ballou is getting much
needed instruction in his daily
workouts against the Washington
batsmen. Ballou has impressed
Manager Harris as being worth
keeping and he may get a chance
to show his stuff before the sea-
son is gone.
The Yankees are in process Of
reconstruction. Miller Higgins is
now convinced that he must build
a new machine If he would win
any more pennants, and from now
to the end Of the season the Yan-
KEGS will have youngsters report
for trial.
Joe Judge strained the muscles
of his left groin yesterday and gave
way to Joe Harris in the ninth
inning. 1t is possible that he may
not play again till Tuesday.
The champions outfield was "A
busy trio. McNeely and Rice eacn
had six putouts and Goslin got two,
fourteen in all. They had ten put
outs in the first five innings.
Ruether has now won fifteen
games as against six defeats, which
is notable. He came to the Wash
ington club only after every Ma
tional League outfit waived claim?
to his services. He was supposed
to be all done as big Lacquer.
With the Athletics hitting with
their customary abandon, Gray
turned in his thirteenth victory of
the season by beating the Red Sox,
6 to 3.
The Giants finally found an in.
nocent bystander. and while the
Dodgers bystood throughout the
afternoon, dashed off with two de-
cisions. 8 to 2 and s to 8. Scott
and Bentley were just a trifle too
good for the Brooklyn hitters.
Ken williams got his twenty-fifth
homer with two on as the Browns
Specie made sure that he didn't
repeat. When he appeared again,
he was hit on the head by pitched
ball and was forced to retire.
With Leach getting two homers,
the Phils contrIved to outblast the
Braves from the drop of the hat
and won, IL to 8.
Pitchers were worth a penny
pound as the Pirates, in a hitting
mood, took running jump at five
Red Sharpshooters and won, IA to
6.
The Cubs made it two straight
over the Cardinals, to 4, with
Alexander outpitching Mails.

LEONARD FIRST
PITCHER TO
CONDEMN
Rabbit Ball Blamed for Loss
Of Effectiveness by
dutch"

For the first time since the lively
ball bounced into every line of base
ball reporting q pitcher has come
ont flatfooted against the pellet,
blaming It for the loss OF his effec-
tivtness. He is Dutch Leonard, the
star southpaw OF the Tigers, who
has hurled baseball long enough to
know whereof he is talking. He
charges that hurting the ball has
tired his arm out.
Dutch, who was Cobb's ace Tor
more than half the season, sudden.
ly went out of action during the
Detroit clubs visit to Philadelphia
on the present aWing around the
Atlantic seaboard. Early last week
he returned to Detroit AMI was ex-
a,nined by specialist who told him
his arm was not gone but was sim
ply tired and he would have to
take six weeks rest at least. be
possibly will be out OF the game
for the rest of the season. How
well Leonard was going when HE
arm tired Is seen in the pitching
records, which show him with elev'
en- victories and four defeats.
Dutch condemns tho lively ball
for his predicament, saying that a
pitcher today works twice as hard
on q batter as he did before the
ball was so lively. Leonard declares
1t Is a case Of throwing all you
have to every player clean down
the hating order to tho pitcher.
The strain is three times harder on
a hurler, according to Leonard
than in the old days.
Curve ball pitchers have a diff
cu,t time nowadays" Leonard ex'
planned to Detroit observers TO
when he explained the reason for
his tired arm. "Of course, some OF
tho most successful ones today are
the boys with the sweeping curves.
but the strain Is a terrific one and
will be doubly hard on preNar
pitchers before the season IS over
! used to rest my musc es' in the
old days by throwing n fast ball
chest high, cutting the plate in the
center. Fielders were on the alert
because they knew flies would re-
suit from this pitch.
Throw a high fast one with the
lively ball in play and the horse
hide will ride out of the lot. IF

that means a homer or a three

parks. To avoid those long flies

Thig forces q pitcher to resort ia
low throws or curves and the latter
tax the muscles severely. For in

a game now than / did in six bat
ties in the old days"

Morale Is Excellent.

"HERE is this to be said of
the champions, their morale
is excellent. Most of them
have gone through the furnace
and know how the fire feels. 1t
wasn't too hot in 1924, they say,
and so why should it be in 1925 :?
OF the newcomers in the ranks
Dutch Ruether pitched winning
ball for the pennant-winning Gin
cinnati Reds, and Stan Coveleskie
was the individual pitching star Of
the Cleveland Indians in the 1920
world series with Brooklyn. Hank
SEVERED, a veteran Of ten years
with the Browns, is the only one
without world series experience,
for even Vean Gregg carries a
world series watch earned as a
member of the Boston Red Sox
back in the dark ages.
"The pennant will be decided
between now and October a." says
Bucky Harris, "and we're going to
have whole lot to say about
where it goes. We've hung on ever
since April, so why can't we hang
on a little bit longer? We're
going to, anyway.
"The boys can scent the end of
the chase. They know how it
feels to cross the line a winner
and each and every one is willing
to play his head off to win another
pennant and get into a world
series. just watch our dust from
now on. We're on our way!"

Fight Will Be Hard.

THE Griffmen are facing a
tough trip through the West.
They will have no cheering
thousands supporting them this
season as they had last. The
fans in the West will be pulling
for their own teams, except pos
sibly in Cleveland. Certainly the
world champions won't have any
hackers. They are the champions
this year, not the underdogs. The
public always wants to see the top
notcher knocked galley West.
From a purely baseball angle,
too, this coming trip will be stiff.
1t finds the White Sox moving
at fast pace, with the Tigers
and Brownies anything but soft.
Eddie Collins has his team bat

New Orlenas club has placed him
on the voluntary retired list.
Larry Gilbert. manager of the
Pelicans. recently visited Myer in
Ellisville and was surprised at his
condition. The attending physician

GRIFFN|EN OFF
FOR WESTERN
SWING
Tomorrow 5ucky Harris viii
Take His Champions on
Last Western Trip
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER
Sports Editor, The Times

Tomorrow will see the close OF
the present home stay Of the
world champion Griffmen. They
will have battIed all Corners at
the Clark Griffith Stadium for
three weeks and are due to shift
the tents to the golden West.
Monday will have them idling in
Cleveland, many going to the
races quite likely, and on Tues
day they win start the final
swing around the western half
Of the circuit The team will be
gone fifteen days, returning home
to tackle the Philadelphia Ath-
letics on September /.
Washington fans, watching the
Mackmen coming from behind to
snatch victories almost daily, are
inclined TO be nervous. Seven weeks
remain Of the 1925 campaign. Each
and every game is vitality important
to the contending teams. the As
and the Griffs. Yet, strange as It
may seem. Washington fans are
more nervous right now than are
the players themselves.
Bucky Harris and his athletes
know that the Mackmen are going
to make a fight right down the
line. On this coming tour of the
| West the champions will have to
keep step with the Athletics or be
shunted too far back for comfort.
They can't get away from us,
smiles BucIxy Harris. "TIley have
tried many times, but have never
made good. We're always on
their heels. Wen probably settle
their hash when we MAY them.
We have eight games, YOU know,
with the AS, and they'll Just
about settle this race in our
favor"
Much Is being made by some
baseball writer's Of the comparative
youth OF the Philadelphia pitchers
as compared with those OF the
champions, but Manager Harris
merely grins at that. He believes
his veterans the steadicr down the
stretch and, with first class field.
