a mean number at all, many or
which were circuit clouts,. five
to be exact.
If those. figures indicate that
a great deal of the pep has
been subtracted from the spher.
colds since last season, then
something should be done i'm
mediately about the American
League pitching. T h e dope
would indicate that the level OF
hurting effectiveness never was
so poor if the ball is as dead
as it is cracked up to be.
Those ninety-two hits in yes
terday's games were not acct
dents, nor were the sixty-four
runs. True, Ruth came through
with two homers and Combs and
Hauser and Jameson contrib
uted one circuit clout each, but
these facts add to the argu-
ment that the ball is still lively,
rather than detract from it.
In the first month of the new
season there have been gen.
orally high scores and generally
heavy hitting.
Baseball scribes started point
ing this out the first week of
the schedule and have so far
had no reason to retract their
comments.
In the American Association,
a Glass IA organization which
plays nearly as good brand of
ball as the majors, LOT hits for
IS runs were contributed in the
games of day before yesterday.
They use the same quality
and type of ball as the two big
leagues. That's a lot of can
nonading for a loop of that
caliber. On the same day, in
the international League, be-
longing in the same class, 10
hits for SO runs were recorded,
but there were two double
headers on the schedule, which
fact cuts the contract slightly.
1t is impossible to assume
that pitching has fallen off to
the point where so many hits
are available day in and day
out, and the only alternative is
to either admit that the manly
art of batting has picked up
perceptibly or else that Br'er
Rabbit is still lurking in the
middle of those horsehide pills.

BIC I rain,
FIELDER

Perhaps the best OF all fielding
pitchers in either major league is
Eddie Rommel.
It is a fact that when the Beau
Brummel Of Baltimore is twirling
that onion, Connie Mack has five
infielders at work. If Rommel could
cuff that pill for .290, or 900, he
would become one of the finest
shortstops in baseball.
That doesn't mean maybe, either.
Rommel can cover acres of ground;
his throwing is deadly accurate. and
he knows how to play the ball.
Watching him in an exhibition game
down South, playing Galloway's po-
sition, makes one realize that Chick
is a mighty lucky bloke that Rom
mel happens to be a pitcher.
Other pitchers are fine fielders,
none better than a young man
named Walter Johnson.
The only time we ever saw Wal
ter blow in fielding was in the
second game in the world series he
pitched against New York. Then
Barney seemed to fall 10 pieces
handling hunts and such offerings.
This failure to field his place
enabled the Giants to beat the Sen.
ators easily.

By Louis A. Dougher

: Alex Ferguson and Milton CASTOR
are booked for today's pitching
contest at the Clark Griffith stadium,
closing the first visit of the st.
Louis Browns to the Capital. The
Mound City troupe has yet to win
from the champions and may be
depended upon to hustle their hard
est to break their sad string of de-
feats here.
Ferguson, according to Manager
Harris, needs work in order to per-
feet the control which makes him
q formidable hurler. Against the
White Sox last Sunday he pitched
effectively for eight innings, holding
the Westerners to three runs. Then
he blew up in the ninth and had
70 be relieved by Fred Marberry
with one run over, nobody out and
two runners on the sacks. Never
theless. Manager Harris has plenty
of confidence in Fergy. insisting

Tomorrow the Cleveland Indians
make their bow in Washington and
are sure to prove tough customers.
Starting East, they apparently were
on their way toward the top, but
today finds them fighting hard to
stave off the fast-traveling Mack
men for a place in the first division.
AS q, matter of fact, both the White
Sox and Indians, the strongest
teams in the Western half OF the
circuit. are having hard times in
the East.
Iris Speaker, the ''bald-headed
eagle" of the American League, is
offering practically the same team
he had a year ago. Only one
change is seen in the lineup, Ernie
Padgett being at third base in
stead of Rube Lutzke. Padgett has
been in the big show before now,
but never succeeded in sticking till

Joe Bush has finally entered the
winning class. He's going to stay
there, too. IL he maintains the forms

mates Of 1925.
For four innings Bush turned back
the Browns in order. He singled i1
the latter half and raced around on
McNeeIy's triple. This ga1lop took
away some Of his wind and so the
Browns punched a walk and two
singles for two runs against him IN
