UMPIRE Is
ABSENT

Capital City League authorities
were undecided today what action
would be taken on games played in
the senior and junior teams without
official umptres. Due to a mis-
understanding the District Associa.
ton Umpires failed to report for the
leagues opening contests in these
two classes, and some Of the teams
selected umpires from the sidelines.
Their games may be thrown out,
In which even the Capital City
League would depart from pre-
cedence. When regularly appointed
umpires fail to show in major
leagues the teams are at liberty
to choose substitutes, and this has
held good on the sandlots. II both
teams agree on an umpire the game

Miners Land Tucker;
Grff Denies Tale
OF GosIin Deal

Ollie Tucker, left-handed hit
ting outfielder obtained from
New Orleans, was today turned
over to the Minneapolis Millers
of the American Association,
President Griffith announced.
He leaves for the West tonight.
In 10 games, used mostly as
a pinch hitter, Tucker has hit
for .23S this spring. He goes
to Minneapolis under option of
repurchase but it is not thought
he will again appear in a
Washington uniform.
President Griffith denied a
Philadelphia rumor that he
might trade Goslin for Bill
Lamar, Jim Poole and Eddie
Rommell, of the Mackmen.
That's all bunk" he said.
"I haven't had any offers, don't
expect any and wouldn't listen
to any, if made. Such rumors
come just because we're going
bad. There isn't a word Of
truth in it."

st. Louis, breaking out again in an
epidemic of startling pitching which
included Is scorelees innings against
the Dodgers, won five and lost one
since last Monday and jumped ahead
of the Giants and Cubs into second
place.
Meantime, the American League
had developed even more Of a two
team race than before, the Yanks
and White Sox stalking themselves

the Athletics were ceasing to be an
active contender for the first time

cag0 series at the Yankee
stadium this week.
The respective leads Of the pace
settlers today Is four games for the
Pirates and game and a half for
the Yanks, the latter's position
being almost as logical as that of
the Pirates in view Of the fact that
the Higgins entry tops in league
batting by 10 points in the latest
| averages, has outscored both leagues
by more than 80 runs, is well ahead
of both leagues in sacrifice hits and
extra base hitting and likewise has
four pitchers in the first 10.
The Yanks are outhitting the Sox
by .312 to .2S7, but the latter have
a lot Of pitching fools and the will
to win and they are doing just
that. They shared with the
Cardinals the intra-league honors Of
the week with five victories in six
starts, the YankS being second with
six out Of eight, the Dodgers third
with five out Of seven and the
Pirates fourth with four out Of six.
The Giants and Browns were
the only other entries to play
above 500 for the week and the
latter. In consequence, jumped
from sixth to fourth place.
They won only four out Of seven,
at that, but the race Is 80 uneven
at the moment that anything can
happen below second place. There
was only seventy.nine points today
separating the Athletics in third
place and the Tigers in seventh.
The Dodgers thus had the best
eastern record in the National
League at a time when it was
almost vital for the Giants to show
what they had up the sleeve beside
an arm and an elbow. They failed
to gain with the record of four out
of seven; in fact, they lost two
percentage points. The tip off on

The situation came to head yes

failure of his team to make any
Roadway against the st. Louis
Browns, Manager Harris benched
everybody but Sammy West and
Ossie Bluege in the seventh inning.
That was an honest effort to switch
the luck and it was not Bucky's

just as weak as the first and, il
possible. a bit wilder.

Some Of the pitching recently has
BEEN weak, indeed, but often the
pitchers have wasted plenty of hard
port or boots in tight places. It
,is unfair to single out individuals.
The team as a whole has been play
ing lifelessly and aimlessly. The
natural result has followed, the Gel
lar yawning before the Washington
entry.
There is no game scheduled for
today. Tomorrow the Cleveland In
dams are here for the first of four
games. Saturday Ray Schalk makes
his Washington debut as a man
ager of the fast.flying Chicago
White Sox. Thus the Griffs win
get no rest. They must fight
their way out of their slough them
selves and that is what Manager
Harris will try to do.
Since coming home from their
| first Western tour the Griffmen
have won six and dropped eight
games. They showed the proper
fighting spirit against the Yankees,
taking three of the five contests.
Then they folded up like an accor-
dian and have slumbered since.

Garland Braxton was none too
strong after three innings, vet he
had an alibi in the weak hitting
ana fielding behind him. It takes
runs to win games and the Griffs
were not making many runs yester.
day.
But the st. Louis series is ended.
Let's forget it. If the fans string
along with Manager Harris their
support may assist him in shaking
his players into some signs of
mental and physical activity. If
the team comes to life, it should at
least finish in good fashion. If it
doesn't, after a fair trial, it will
then be time enough for the fans

the Griffs need help.
