HARRIS TEAM SPEEDS
Ten Games in Row Annexed
in Drive.
BY HENRY L. FARREL
united Press STAIR Correspondent

OnILeu FTeSS StdH correspondent
NEW YORK, July 4.-When the
Washington Senators were founder
ing around early in the season with
a fat shortstop, a crippled second
basenan and two disabled pitchers,
Manager Bucky Harris scorned SYM
pathy.
''Myer won't do at shortstop, I've
got a broken hand, Walter Johnson
has broken ankle and Coveleskie
is through, but We'll be up there be-
fore the season closes" Harris said,
The halfway mark is here and
the Senators are up there. They're
ten games behind the Yankees, it
is true, but any baseball fan can tell
you that ten games can melt away
easily in the heat of July, August
and September The Senators have
won ten straight.
Reeves at Short
Harris traded Meyer to the Bos-
ton Red SoX for Rigney and when
Rigney Topped he stuck Reeves in
at shortstop. When Coveleskie's
lame back made him unserviceable,
he released him outright.
Walter Johnson couldn't be at
his best with an ankle just mendef.
from a fracture and it looked like
dead cinch for the Athletics when
the highly touted Philadelphians
took a dive.
Harris and his Senators kept COM
ing. Lisenbee and ThurSton, who
were rated as fair relief hurlers,
started winning and some of the
100000 cargo of youngsters bought
in the minors started showing. One
of them, Hadley, was tossed in
against the Athletics last week and
dumped them, and another, Bob
Burke, also dumped the AS.
Tigers Come Through
Another highly regarded Ameri-
can League club before the sea-
son began, which is now beginning
to find itself, is Detroit. When
George Moriarty took over Ty
Cobb's job as manager, every one
thought the team would do better.
Its batting power, especially in
the outfield, was admitted and the
pitching staff was expected to de-
liver. But the powerful hitters did
not hit and the pitchers did not
pitch until recently.
The Tigers apparently have found
themselves now. Experts declare
the players were trying too hard
in early season to make good for
Moriarty, and that they are just
now beginning to hit their stride
and play ball.
Ever since 1914 the experts have
given thought to low place ball clubs
that start playing winning ball in
d-July-George Stallings and his
Boston Braves always willbe a les
son to them.

Fear Lou More
Than Babe Ruth

By M TlAHite&1 66 EsiKS .1,lv 4-one of the
chief points of interest in the
major leagues is the race between
the two Yankee sluggers, Lou
Gehrig and Babe Ruth for home
run honorS.
The sensational hitting of Gehrig
is no longer attributed to a flash OF
a young player, who hasn't given
pitchers enough chance to find his
weakness.
In recent weeks four American
League managers have said they
would rather see Ruth at the bat
than Gehrig, because when Gehrig
doesn't hit homer he usually drops
a smaller safety some place else.
Two American League pitchers
have said that they believed Gehrig.

on the part of the youngsters.
If you should wait around the

When the Babe steps out there
IS a wild clamor for his signature

1t is really remarkable how good
