CHICAGO, May 11-According to
the pitching dope on games played
from the start of the season through
the recent series with the Browns,
the Nationals have need of a sizeable
mound corps. In the 21 engagements
Bucky Harris had to make 30 pitch
ing assignments, an average or 20
per engagement, while managers OF
rival clubs made only AZ assignments,
an average of 2.2 per game.
Against two clubs the Nationals
had to make more pitching assign
ments than did the opposition. In
6 games with the Yankees Harris
made is slab assignments, while
Miller Higgins made II. In games
with the Athletics. Bucky shifted
hurlers so often that 81 pitching
names appeared in the box scores
against 13 drawn from the crowd
headed by Connie Mack.
The Nationals, though, had an edge
over the Red Sox and Browns. In
7 engagements with the Hubmen
Harris named 13 pitchers against 16
picked by Bill Carrigan. In the 2
games with Mound City aggregation
Harris named hurlers, while Dan
Howley assigned Z to the hill. The
Browns used half dozen fingers in
single tilt.
But here's something worthy of
note. In only five of the 81 games
did a National pitcher so the full
route. Pitchers of the opposition
went all the way in eight OF the con.
tests.

MATS HAVE USED AVERAGE
PITCHERS PER GAME

With stands surrounding the play
ing field and double -decked most of
the way, the White Sox have great
base ball plant here now. 1t suffered
considerable damage, though, during
the cyclonic storm that hit Chicago
Monday evening. Part of the back
wall and the roof of the left-field
stand was blown away.
Goose Goslin reported to the club
here yesterday, declaring himself rid
of the pleurisy that forced him to stop
over in Pittsburgh hospital for a
few days. But it was too cold yes
terday for the Goose to attend the
game at White SoX Park and he may
not get into the lineup until the
Cleveland series starts Saturday.
Sammy West made a circus catch
of Kamm'S liner in the first inning
yesterday. He backed against the
left-field stand wall and leaped high
to get the ball.
Barrett attempted to get to the
middle station after Speaker caught
Clancy's hoist in deep center in the
second session, but was made to look
foolish by iris fine throw to Harris
for a double-play.
When the wind got under Metzler's
liner in the third, Speaker instead Of
running back for a catch leaped for
a sensational one.hand grab.
Rigney made remarkable one-hand
stop of Kamm's bounder back of
second base at the outset of the
White Sox eighth and an equally re-
markable throw to nip Willie at the
first station.
Three pinch-batters were thrust into
the lineup by the Nationals in the
ninth. Cullop batted for Reeves and
famed. Tucker batted for Thurston
and walked and Stewart, who ran
for Tucker, made the last out of the
day when he was caught trying to
swipe second.
Harris returned to his job at second
base for the first time since he was
pinked on the leg by one of Hadley's
pitches. Bucky. although limping,
managed to do well afield, but twice
was called out on strikes in his four
turns at bat.

VI league team over its status a
l. year ago may be awarded at
this time to the st. Louis
Cardinals, the leaders today in the
National League race. The Cardinals
are more than 200 percentage points
better off today than they were
year ago.
1t is true that the Cards won the
championship last year with only SO
victories. Rogers Hornsby has been
accredited with saying that such a
cheap victory did not mean an
extraordinary team. Maybe not, but
Hornsby was a member Of it and he
wasn't playing very extraordinary
ball himself, although he might have
been doing some extraordinary man.
aging.
The Chicago Cubs lifted themselves
another notch by defeating Phila.
delphia yesterday. but the fact re-
mains that on their showing to- date
the Cubs have fallen away. They are
likely to come back. but they are not
showing what could have been ex-
pected Of them. No team like the
Cubs can afford to get away to a
bad start. The players may settle
down and then climb the ladder. but
the Cubs needed victory at the begin
ming of the race to put some conf
dence into the young men in the
pitching corps.
Cub Pitchers Need Sap.
There are good pitchers on the Chi.
cago team, but they need sap. They
are fussy. They want batting back of
them and the Cubs are batting sew
enth in the team averages. That can't
win for the Cubs.
The worst showing by any major
league club has been made, of course.
by Brooklyn. Last year at about this
time the Brooklyn team led the Ma
tional League race and the old story
of how Uncle Wilbert Robinson can
take in different players and guide
them on to glory was hashed up in
four OF five new dressings. AT the
end Of the season Uncle Robby and
the Brooklyn team were pretty much
nowhere. This year they are in that
condition at the beginning of the sea-
son. The teams very good pitchers
give it whatever 1t contriveS to grab
off in the way of success.
In the American League, Detroit is
considerably better off than it was
a year ago. Some can't see Detroit.
but the IlReTS are DOuTQ 10 eD VisiDie.
No quartet of batters like the hard
hitters of that team can be held back
IL they get any thing to help them
in the pitching line. The Tigers are
better off than they were last year at
this time: quite little better off, in
fact. They stood in fourth place to-
day. slightly shaded by the Athletics
as result of Philadelphia's to 3
tritInDh Yesterday
Ty Cobb has some friends who are
robting that Detroit won't succeed.
Probably number of them were in
the crowd of 10000 that watched yes
terday's game in Detroit. That's only
natural. Base ball always is game
that develops partisans about as rapid
iy as it does spectators.
Macks Are Disappointing.
The Athletics, oddly enough are
running almost on parallel with
their record for 1926 at this time.
That isn't good enough. The Athletics
must pick up at least so percentage
points if they expect to be bold chal.
lengers to the New York Yankees.
They really need more.
