shift the ball between the second

also deprives him of free over

games, Joe Hauser was benched last
week in favor of Jim Pool, who played
the bag last week.
With Washington faltering, 1t be-
gins to seem that the Yankees will
have a walkover. If they can win
half of their remaining games. the
pennant should be theirs. "Bucky'
Harris is having more and more trou.
bic with his pitching. Ruether got off
to a good start and developed a lame
arm and was incapacitated for some
time. Joe Bush has been a sad dis
appointment to the Capital fans, and
at the time of writing has one victory
against seven defeats. Harris gave
up the left anded Zachary to obtain
another right -ha nder, but it didn't
work out very well.
White Sox Doing We'll.
Chicago still shows itself to be the
strongest American League team in
the West. and the White SoX are play
ing a rattling good game. Only the
Yankees pack a sturdier punch and
there is no question about Chicago's
pitching. Even the veteran Faber
came through with a great game last
week, winning to 0 shutout victory
from Lefty Grove of the Athletics.
The Tigers could do nothing to stop
the Yankee avalanche as 1t rolled
through Michigan. though they did
their best to slug it out with the New
Workers., and in one game the Yanks
had to crash out four homers before
Ruths second in the eleventh finally
put the Tigers down to stay. Ty Cobb
felded SO poorly in these early games
that the Peach took himself out of
his lineup. This probably ends Cobb's
career as a regular player. Cobb may
have slowed down somewhat in the
field, but opposing pitchers still would
rather see him on the bench than in
the lineup. The left handed Wilbur
Cooper who was mysteriously waived
out of the National League, may help
the Tigers, though the Yanks knocked
him out in his American League
debut Somewhere in this transac-
ton there is a colored gentleman hid
den in q. WOodpile.
Tribe Again Hitting Better.
Cleveland again is hitting better,
and playing a better grade of ball.
Miller, the lefthander. is back on the
firing line, and is pitching good ball.
Big Buckeye also is showing up bet
ter than he did earlier in the season,
while Uhle gives everybody a battle.
The Browns are slowly fighting
their way upward, and the club still
has an outside chance for a first divi-
sion berth. Bennett is back in the
outfield, and Sisler also is employing
burst in preference to Jacobson. Like
the Phillies in the National. the Red
Sox are in the league in order that

Plainly Marked

Sign posting denoting boulevard
stops at Main and Sixth and Main
and Fifth streets, which were erect.
ed Yesterday, were today supple.
mcntcd by larger signs painted on
the pavement, calling attention Of
motorists to the stop requirement.
The signposts were so placed that
parked cars prevented approaching
motorists from seeing them, and
many drivers, unaware of the boule-
ward stops, turned into Main with
out coming to halt.
"There will be no excuse for
drivers not observing the boulevard
stops from now on Chief Oswalt
said this morning "We have paint
ed a warning sign instructing driv-
ers to slow down several yards from
the stop sign which is to bring them
to n halt. The signs are largo
enough to be seen and we intend to
see that they are obeyed."
AT other corners on Main anil
Fourth streets, where the sign posts
are not obscured from the driver s
line of vision, it is not considered
necessary to paint signs on the pave
ment.
