hough Beaten Makes Favorable Impression His Work
HARRIS SECRETIvE
ABOUT HIS PLANS

PHILADELPHIA, June 22.--Man-
ager Harris is most secretive man
these days Nothing that has to do
with the running of his ball club is
confided to any one outside the fold.
Nobody not on the club knew until
the double-header started yesterday
that Sam Rice was not to go to right
field, his regular job, although an
hour before play began the pilot had
been asked if he contemplated making
any changes in his lineup.
Nor did the pilot mention that
Goose Goslin and Iris Speaker would
exchange places in the batting order,
although it was expected that this
would happen, because of Spokes light
hitting during the past week.
There is nothing wrong with Rice
physically. lie declares he feels bet
ter now than at any other time this
season. Nor will Harris say that the
change is permanent.
Il merely wanted to see what Nc
Nicely would do in right. He may re-
main there for time" is the way
the pilot put it,
Before the second game started
Yesterday there were $4,000 fans in
Shibe Park. The AS defeat left the
crowd in no pleasant humor and it
razzed the Nationals all through the
second tilt.
Many Washingtonians were pres
ent at the double header. Prominent
among those watching the Nationals
perform away from home was Henry
TAFT Rodier. He left after McNeely
popped up with the bases filled and

Thurston showed his fielding ability
in the fifth inning Of the first game
when he pounced on Bishops bunt and
threw out the batter. 1t was a tricky

johnson was fine fielding pitcher
in the second game. getting a putout
and four assists. He got his putout
in the first inning when he speared
French's liner. Walter then threw

F.. Mack used three pinch batters in
the first game and all Jared poorly.
Braxton famed FoXX and Perkins and
the best Galloway could do against
the left-hander was to pop to Reeves.
After the fourth inning Of the sec.
ond game Walberg had little to do.
Almost every National that stepped to
the plate swung at and met the first
pitch. 1t must be a new system for
them.

GRIFF FARM HANDS
CONTINUE TO STAR

BIRMINGHAM. Ala, June 70
Clayton Van Alstyne. premier pitcher
of the Barons, hurled his team TO its
thirteenth straight victory yesterday
when the Barons defeated Little ROCK
to 3, 1t was Van Alstyne's thlr'
teenth triumph to three losses.
The Washington farmland allowed
eight hits over the nine-inning route:
and while all of the three runs allowed
the opposition will go down as earned,
two of them came when the center
fielder misjudged line drive and let
1t go for home run.
Van Alstyne won his twelfth victory
last Saturday when he pitched two
and two-third innings of relief pail
against Memphis. His triple then
drove in the tieing run and he himseE
subsequently scored with the winning
run after a sacrifice fly.
Dick Coffman. the young hurler

City in the international League, won
his sixth game of the season by blank

his fifth shut-out performance.

er. even in defeat in the second por.
ton of the program, was much more
y impressive than was his club in its
initial game victory.
Although the nine hits and four

that his was not a particularly good

have shown to even greater adj

It's asking a good deal of any pitch
er to keep the other club away from
the plate and put his own men across
it. Yet that was just what the Ma
tionals asked of Walter yesterday. One
would gather from the way the other
members of his club went about their
tasks that Johnson was expected to
be the entire show.
just What Walter Did.
An Walter did during the first
seven innings was come through
with a hit that gave his outfit an

OF walks. That the AS lost little
time in tying the count amassed by
Johnson's efforts really reflected in
nowise upon Walters lack of ability.
The two Mackian runs in the third
frame did not cross until after the
pitchers support had passed up a
fine opportunity to retire the home
side. No error was charged against
any player for missing this oppor-
tunity, but misplay in the same
round did account for one of the
: tallies that went against Walter
= Later on the AS got two real runs,
but even then better fielding might
have held them to a lone tally. But
il made little difference, for the Ma
tionals, after their early splurge
against the southpaw Singing Rube
Walberg, were made to look just as
silly at bat as they had looked several
times before when facing this hurler.
Five hits were all they got off him.
His clubs weakness in both attack
and defense finally affected johnson
and in the eighth, his last inning on
the hill he was the victim or
four-run offensive.
So ineffective were the Nationals in
all departments, though. outside of the
second session, that the big pitcher,
even with the skill of his heyday, very
likely would have suffered trouncing.
Yet he pitched his best since he made
his season debut against the Red SoX
at Washington May 80.

Barney's Third Loss.

He was better by far than when he
fell before the Browns and the In
dams. But with such sorry backing,
1t was no wonder he took his third
successive defeat.
About all those in charge of the
club got out of the game was the
knowledge that Johnson can do two
E things in a pitching wayne can
pitch creditably against the Athletics
and he can go on warm day.
~ 1t had been feared that the big
4 fellow would have more than an aver
age amount of trouble with Connie
Mack's men. Instead. he battled them
manfully until the eighth inning and
then they were helped nightly by a
couple of dinky hits.
The day was warm, too. and 1t DID
not seem to annoy Walter in the least.
He appeared fresh all the way. Hav-
ing learned just what Walter can do
under such circumstances, the club
may profit thereby in the future-if 1t
Is able to back him properly.
Their failure to take the second
game cost the Nationals third place
in the American League race. After
their 5-to-4 initial victory-the second
scored over the Athletics by them
this year-they needed the nightcap
win to go ahead of Mack's crowd by
a single point in the standings. But
so far this season, Bucky Harris
bunch never has been able to seize
such golden opportunities.

Griffs Lucky i'm Opener.

The Nationals were somewhat for
tunate to grab the first game, for in
1t they did not set the world on fire
with their hitting. In the first inning
they thumped the offerings of Eddie
Rommell, knuckle-baller, who has been
having his troubles all season, to get
good lead. But it took bum chuck
by Rightffelder Ray French to boost
their scoring then.
After chasing Rommel in the third,
they got only one hit off the left
handed Charley Willis in the next
three frames and but one more bingle
off the venerable Joe Pate, also of
southpaw persuasion, in the last three
rounds. 1t was a big day all around
for Connie Mack's left-handers.
Hollis Thurston, who started in the
box for Bucky Harris, could not stand
the pace and was knocked out of the
picture when the AS threatened to
force ahead in the fifth. Garland
Braxton did a good job as relief until
two were out in the ninth. Then he
passed one batter and was hit by an
other With the dangerous Al Sim
mons coming up, Manager Harris
deemed it wise to yank Garland and
substitute Fred Marbury. Fred took
good care of Simmons, and the game
was in.
Successive singles by McNeely and
Harris and Speakers long hoist &C.
counted for the Nationals initial run
in the opening inning of the first
game. Then Goslin doubled to right
to send Harris to third. When

for two runs in the third. The Ma
