Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-02

THESE are days of toll for Irving
Hadley, but the chunky Lynn
chucker welcomes them. Beaten
repeatedly since the start of the
season, Hadley is far from being
discouraged. Instead, he is eager to go
to the firing line at every opportunity
and Manager Walter johnson is just as
eager to provide the youngster with
opportunities.
50 Hadley. who started and pitched
through seven innings against the
Yankees in the second game of the
double here Memorial day. will
after two days of rest come back TO
the fray this afternoon to open fire
against the Browns.
At last Hadley is convinced he needs
much toll to round him into good phySi-
col trim for slabbing For time the
chunky pitcher did little more than go
through the motions of exercising in
his workouts, even though when doing
so he seemed to believe he really was
exercising earnestly. But after coll
lapsing frequently in the fourth or
fifth innings of games Hadley realized
all was not right with him. Now he
wants work and plenty of it.
Manager johnson, recently learning
of Hadleys dental trouble. has ad-
vised the pitcher to have the two teeth
said to be abscessed extracted. Walter
thinks it might be we'll for Bump to
have one tooth taken out the day fol-
lowing a pitching turn. take another
turn on the hill as soon as his condi-
ton permits. then have the other
nolar vanked. Hadley is expected to
follow this advice soon and If his dis
eased teeth have had anything to do
with his failure to get into condition
he should be in great trim for the last
half of the season.
Manager Dan Howley of the Browns
is expected to send Rip Collins or
George Blaeholder against the Nationals
today. Both ere right-handers. Collins.
who saw service with the Yankees and
the Tigers before donning a st. Louis
uniform, has not been defeated this
season. He has four victories to his
credit. although he has started oftener.
Blaeholder appears to be in fine fettle
at present. He has won three times
since the Browns left home. beating the
Indians twice and the Tigers once.
Paul Mccullough pitcher who report
ed to the Nationals Monday, just three
months late, went through lengthy
workout at Griffith Stadium yesterday,
dLlO OCCidIeu Will SOOIl DC SGTOIlR
enough to get into a game. Paul says
ne has picked up nearly three pounds
since arriving in Washington, and now
is but little more than 10 pounds I'M
der his normal weight, which is around
IT'S.
President Clark Grifath has received
no report of the physical examination
given Mccullough at Johns Hopkins
Hospital in Baltimore last Monday, and
is not prepared to say whether the
pitcher is to be retained by the Ma
tionals or will be returned to Toledo.
Among those performing on the slab
during the Nationals batting drill yes
terday was Sad Sam Jones, but he took
no risks in his workout. Sam merely
pushed the ball to the swingers, and
what little running he did was nothing
more than jogging. At that, even the
mild exercise caused twinges of pain in
the pitchers left side and abdominal
muscles This Jones is determined
person. however, and intends to exer-
else daily despite the soreness. He has
an idea this may relieve the trouble
