Although Moon does a fairly good
Job at first basing. he lacks both the
speed and finesse Of a Judge and un.
balances the infield to considerable
degree. With McNeely in the regular
batting order, the Nationals attack is
woefully weakened, for Earl has not
been hitting his weight" recently.
Judge is not expected to return to
the game until the series with the
Browns starts in St. Louis next week.
He was soundly whacked on the top
of his head when he came 10 Dat IN
the second inning and fell TO the
ground unconscious. Wlthln EVe
minutes, he revived sufficiently 10 get
on his feet. but had to be assisted
from the field and was removed to
st. Mary's Hospital.
radtoeraph taken there revealed
no trace Of fracture and surgeons
after and exhaustive examination, an
nounced that there was no conclusion.
The injury was extremely pain1uI ana
shocking, however. and 1t was deemed
best to have Judge remain IN the nos
pital until Monday, when ne is 10
leave with the club.
Judge explained that he was unaple
to dodge Whitehill's pitch as he had
set himself to swing at curve pail
and the Tigers delivered a fast one.
.'When I saw it was not going 10
break, II was too late to duck, ne
said later, "and then came the stars.
Whitehill and the other Tiger play
ers rushed to Judges assistance. as
soon as he fell and were very solicit
Gus as to his welfare later.
II developed late yesterday that the
Nationals had been forbidden TO en-
ploy Bobby Veach in a game until Ban
johnson, league president, had an op.
portunity to look into the record OF
his transfer from the Yankees to the
Nationals by the waiver route. IL
seemed that President Griffith OF the
champions did not put in claim Tor
yeach until the tenth and last day
left him for such action after the New
York club had asked waivers Ihen
Manager Higgins of the Yanks had
to get In telephone communication
with Col. Rupert, New YORK owner
and that was not done until the fol-
lowing day. However. President John
son decided that the deal was con-
summated in good faith and yesterday
wired Griffith that the Nationals
might use Veach when they saw Mt.
SO Bobby will go to left field, While
Goslin will play center and Rice right
when the champs stack up against
right.hand finging If Manager Harris
plans are followed.
Bucky Harris played a brilliant
game at second base yesterday. He
handled cleanly all of his 13 chances.
and several of them were well above
the ordinary. His stop Of Tavener's
smash back Of second base in the
tenth was a marvel, and so was the
t,ox fall cd
Wingo was in a hitting mood. Be
fore getting his triple off Covey in
the eleventh the redthatched Tiger
slammed a brace of singles.
FothergilI seemed quite "peeved"
when replaced at bat by Manush in
the eighth. The barrel-chested Tiger
threw his cap into the dust and
ground it with his heel when told by
Cobb he was through for the day.
McNeely. who ran for Judge after
the latter was hurt, then went to the
outfield when Moon Harris was sent
to first base, had a terrible time at
bat. Twice nc let third strikes whiz
by while keeping his bat on his
shoulder, lifted an easy fly to He'll
mann once and in his last appearance
at the plate dribbled the ball TO Haney
at third.
In the seventh inning Fothergill
came in speedily for a great catch
of Rice's looper. Nationals were on
first and second with two out at the
time. ...--.s--
Walter johnson was due to slab for
the champs this afternoon. Cobb may
send Ken Holloway to the mound. He
beat the Nationals the last time he
