trying today to establish the identity
Of a homeless veteran who has car
ricd a name not his own for three
years. The veteran was here to un-
dergo the scrutiny Of the other le-
gionnaires in convention.
In 1928 a man suddenly opened his
eyes to a normal world out in Stock
ton, Calf. 1t was a new world to
him---his name. his past were blank.
Doctors named him Jerry Tar

the archives of the war department.
Men in New York said they once
worked with "Tarbot" in a machine
shop before the world war, but they
could not recall his real name. An
other aid they recalled the man as
buddy in the marine corps, but
could give no more information.
Candidates for Commander
Election of the new commander
continued to be subject of much
discussion today. General Pershing

thrown 1t, as Cy Young threw II, as
Mathewson curved II, and as 20 more
of almost equal skill handled it. The
young players fancy no longer turns
to thoughts of deceiving 'em so much
as to thoughts of getting away with
it.
The Brooklyn pitching staff, one of
the most costly In base ball, doesn't
show value returned by the hurlers
or value received by the club. Petty
has won 9 games and lost IL. He
started out as though he were going
to wear peacock feathers. but he
stopped. However, he has worked his
daily dozen. as pitchers are expected
to work them, and that is more than
some have done on the team.
Barnes has won six and lost four.
but those are confined to three clubs.
He has three victories each from Bos-
ton and New York, and New York and
| Cincinnati have each defeated him
twice. A pitcher who cannot spread
| his wares more commonly than that
isn't going much.
Grimes Doing Well.
| Grimes has won two from Boston,
two from Philly. one from Pitts
burgh, three from Chicago and one
| from st, Louis: he has lost four to
New York. one to Philadelphia and
ore to Chicago. On the whole. that is
about the best showing by, any
| pitcher of the team. and Grimes is
an old-time registered spitball pitcher
who has been propelling the ball ever
since the rules were changed in 1920
and before then.
| McWeeny hasn't been much, nor
| has McGraw, nor has Ehrhardt. and
| all three are in that class which is
| between $3.50 and how-come-y ou-so
| There are hopes for all three, but
with the chances they have had in
| base ball they should be better
| pitchers than they are now If ever
they expect to be topnotchers.
! Vance, who is the most costly orna-
ment to Brooklyn of all, has been
fiat failure, judging by his presum-
able skill and what he is paid to ex-
! hibit it. He hasn't done enough for
| Brooklyn this year TO pay for the
| filling of a back tooth
Vance won % games and lost 9
| for Brooklyn in 1925. This year TO
date he has won and lost s. With

the season he might possibly win 10

games net for Brooklyn, comparing
| 1926 with 1925. Add to Brooklyn's
total victories now about half of the
difference between Cincinnati and
Brooklyn, and which is easily repre-
sented by what Vance hasn't done.
and Brooklyn would be in the lead
that.

GOslin was penalized yesterday when
he made a perfect heave toward the
plate in the second inning, present
scoring rules compelling the official
scorer to charge an error against the
Goose when the ball, striking a small
hummock in the infield. bounded to
the stands and let a run get home.
Something should be done to the rules
to protect fielders in such cases, 1t
seems.
LutDlxe had n rough time of 1t in
the second session. Joe Harris roller
was too slow for Rube to get to in
time to prevent ii from becoming a
single. and later Ruel's drive was so
hot that it bounded off the third
sacker's glove, for one-baser.
In the fourth inning Jameson
made a neat running catch to retire
Ruel. Charley had to dash in far and
toward center field to get the ball
just above his shoetops.
During the first five innings drives
beyond the infield totaled but four
teen for both teams. The Indians
soon boosted that total in the sixth.
Well beaten of in that big sixth
inning, the Nationals had their line
up changed for the remainder of the
game Manager Harris turned over
his second sacking job to Stuffy

Ossie Bluege at third base. Hank

Not until the eighth inning was the
most brilliant fielding play of the day
executed. and it was RUDE Lutzke
who had had so much trouble early
in the fray. who came through with
the play. He sped across the ground
to the top step of the Indian dugout
and snagged Uchrinsko's foul with

it received.

Although beaten by st. Louis, to

their lead when Philadelphia lost two.

Morrell was bumped for nine hits
and gave up two passes during his
/ six sessions. Three of the bingleS
were clustered in the second session
and the remainder of the blows and
the passes were punched in the sixth.
In these rounds the Tribe did all it's
scoring. Bill seemed strong physically
in easiXth, when he took his pound

once in a while. No matter what he
threw to the baters, they socked it.
Smith Gains Strength.
Sherrod Smith, Southpaw. went the
route for the Indians, but Sherry was
none too good at the outset. Five of
the seven hits made off him came in
the first three frames, during which
time the Nationals managed to match

position. But Sherry was strong

Zachary went to ST. Louis last Win

Zach had been an in-and.outer with
Washington and it was thought at
the time that the Nationals could do
better in the coming pennant race
with a man like Bush, who had
shown his worth as a pitcher.
1t turned out, however. that neither
Bush nor Tobin could make the grade

Occasionally pitchers win four
games from one club, but only occa-
sionally. If that demonstrates any
thing it is lack of class on the part
of the pitchers, and if there is any
one thing In which base ball now is
less ably engaged upon than 1t was in
the past, 1t is Nat the position of
pitcher.
Despite the curry-combing> of the
bushes, the almost pathetic appeals
to young players to learn to pitch,
