GAMES
ON TAP
BY Louis A. DOugher

The Griffs and White sox put on
a doubleheader today, the first
mixup being due to start at 1850.
As the Westerners are but five
games behind the Harris clan, q
couple OF victories will bring the
Griffs dangerously close to the sec
ond division.
Uncle Tom Zachary and Mr..
BumperinO Hadley are sched-
uled to start for the hapless
home boys, opposing Ted
Blankenship and Al Thomas, two
most formidable Fingers.
Ted Lyons won his twenty-first
triumph of the season yesterday
when he held the Griffs to three
scattered singles and the score of
8 to 0 tells the complete story in
brief. The Griffs were outcIassed
every way from the ace.
Fred Marberry started and was
in trouble with the very first In.
ming. In the second Clancy's triple
became q run on Crouse's hoist, and
In the third singles by Flaskamper
and Kamm. followed by one OF Bob
run. An infield out brought an.

Bill Barrett stole home. Ha, hal
The sixth saw the end of Mar
berry. Ward, Clancy, Grouse.
Lyons, and Flaskamper hit safely
in succession. Kamm sacrificed.
Reeves came through with another
peculiar peg and Reynolds walked.
After four runs were in and the
bases still crowded Marberry sue
ceeded in striking OUT Ward.
BraxtOn gave one Of his Gus
tOmariIy smooth exhibitions for
the last three frames, but It was
entirely wasted. Mr.. Ted Lyons
was doing his stuff out there on
the same hill and the Griffs
were talking to themselves.
Bluege scratched a hit to deep
short in the third. Reeves showed
one through the box in the sixth,
and Jack Hayes, inaugurating his
big-league career. spanked d clean
single to left on the first pitched
bali sent his way in the eighth.
There is the total Of Washington

pennant. The Hugmen yesterday
trimmed the st. Louis Browns for
the twentieth time in as many
starts, and If they win the remain

champions will be the first big

seasons series of 20 games from

Earl Combs, New York outfielder,
hit his nineteenth triple and leads
the league in that speciality. He
also is the first player in the league
to make 200 hits, yet strangely
enough he is not listed among the
five leading 'batters..

men In either league to pitch to
and he hits consistently. There's
nothing spotty about his perform
ance. AL il one Of the best fly
chasers in the business, with great
pair Of hands that seem to be
equipped with burrs the way they
cling to a ball. He has born base
ball instinct, and never makes a
bad move.
That he has been out Of the
game so long is the toughest blow
the Athletics have suffered this
year, but even with his absence
taken into consideration. he still
stands out as the class Of center
fielders-the ideal fly ball chaser.
On the bases, at bat or in the out.
field, he has unquestioned class.
RIGHT FIELD
Here again we find a new man
and one who is unanimously Sc
lected. That's Paul Waner, Of the
Pirates. He is the leading cog In
the Pirate offensive machinery
He has driven In moro than 10C
runs and is leading his league both
in hitting and runs scored. He
possesses q sure fire arm, covers
his position WELL. and has instilled
wholesome respect throughout The
league. Waner, despite his slight
build, 10 Of sturdy construction and
Is not easily injured.
His record, taken in every de
partment, is one Of the best ever
compiled by any major league
player anywhere. You can't keeI
him off an All-American team.
CATCHER
Here is one place I've gone
against the judgment of the base
ball writer's to name Muddy Ruel
over Gabby Hartnett. And / feel
that ! am right. Hartnett is great
but so IL Ruel. Muddy is one OF
the smartest catchers in the bust
ness. Old time pitchers like Wal
ter johnson agree that Ruel has
the best judgment Of any catcher
they ever pitched to. 1927 has
been his best year. In other years
his hitting has been weak. This
year he is p0unding the ball for an
average plenty over 800 and has
been particularly effective in the
pinch.
His throwing to second is accurate
and fast. As a receiver he stands
without peer. and, despite his
slight build. he is one Of the best
catchers at blocking runners from
the plate I have ever seen. Hartnett
can do all these thinks, too. So car
O'Farrell. But in all.around. catch
ing shrewdness 1t seems to me that
Muddy gets the call. No catcher
can recall ever has had better lucl
in getting high-grade work from
mediocre pitchers. And that, 4
seems to me, is q true test Of catch
Ing greatness.

You will find some new names on
