The visitor and her companion were

help people change their entire mode of

BUCKY GIVES DOPE

Other Bengal Pitchers Learn

George Win 9 in Row.
BY ALAN J. GOULD,
Associated Press Sports Editor.

n IEW YORK, June 3.-The
IN Detroit Tigers owe a sub
|, stantial portion of their
early season progress to
the good right arm of George
Uhle. And George Uhle can at
tribute a good share of his bril-
liancy in winning nine successive
games to the perfection of a new
delivery-the "slide ball"
That, at least, is the conviction of
Bucky Harris, pilot of the famous
champion Washington Senators of
1924-25, who is guiding the current
destinies of the Tigers for the first
time.
"Uhle has done wonders for u.s." de-
clared Harris, now on his first Eastern
swing. "Of course, he has everything,
control and lots of stuff as well as a
fast ball whenever he needs it. But he
has something new this season. You
can call it slide ball. It's neither
curve nor a fadeawaV, but is a fast one
that Slides away from a right-handed
batsman as the ball nears the plate.
Uhle perfected it this Spring.
Sammy Gray, one of the mainstays
of the Browns, has developed something
like it and several of our pitchers are
getting the hang of it, but Uhle is the
only one getting real results"
Bucky Respects Yanks.
After watching the Athletics batter
his club to defeat twice in a row on
Friday and Saturday, Harris was quite
willing to share the view of critics who
see the pennant prospects of the Mack
men through rose-coiored glasses.
Connie has great ball club, but I
think it will be much closer race in
the American League this year than at
any time since the Yankees gained

counting the Yankees out now. They
have too much power to be discounted,
even though they are far below the spo;
they occupied at this time year age.
The realization, however, that tn.
Yankees are not quite so tough seem;
to have acted as tonic for the rest Of
the league.
1.-The Athletics look like the club to
beat now, but the Browns are in the
thick of it and I hope to have my
Tigers closer to the top afer we get
through in the East. We have lost too
many games so far, but we have lots of
power and think Uhle will have more
pitching support.

ROY Johnson is a great addition to
the outfield-a real star-and, believe
me, our new first baSeman, Alexander,
can bust 'em, even If he Bz7t a Joe
Judge on the defense. Harry Heilmann
IS driving in more runs than ever.
II am keeping in shape, ready to fill
in at second base in an emergency, but
you can figure what fine chance I
have with Charley Gehringer playing
the ball he is. If there's better Sec
ond baseman around than Gehringer, I
don't know him."
Harris, who keeps an eye on the base
ball situation in general. likes the
chances of the Pirates in the National
League scramble. Bucky had an op-
portunity to study the Bucs as we'll as
the Chicago Cubs in the Spring train
ing season, so anything he has to say
is far from guesswork.
The Pirates have speed. batting and

Liska's return gives the Ma
tionalS at least three fairly de-
pendable starting hurlerS, now
that Irving Hadley at last seems
to have reached the pitching form
he was supposed to have at the
outset of the campaigning. Gar
land Braxton, Hadley and Liska
constitute what should be strong
trio, and there's Fred Marberry
at hand to start games when he
isn't called on to do the great
amount of relief hurting he had
to do While the box staff was shot
to pieces.
Even though Sam Jones still is trying
to get the kinks out of his left side and
abdominal muscles and may not be
available for duty for some days, the
Nationals probably are far better
equipped in pitching way than they
were at the beginning of the American
League scrapping. LiSka from the start
has been rated the pitching find of the
year in the majors. Braxton has been
going great guns the past two weeks,
and Hadley. having gone a route-and
a tough one-to victory after many
efforts, very likely will make trouble for
the Washington clubs rivals from now
on.
Reserves May Help.
Back of these the Nationals have the
left-handers, Bob Burke and Lloyd
Brown, who may prove much more
helpful than they have in the past.
Burke has looked better with each ap-
pearance, while Brown, once he ac-
quires control, should puzzle many bat

so much so that Manager johnson no
longer has to sit up at night trying to
figure who he will send to the hill the
next day.
This rejuvenation of the pitching staff
may bolster the game of the Nationals
in general, although lately the club has
batted gamely despite the hurting luck.
The many reverses suffered since the
return from the West has failed to take
the heart out of the Washington band.
1t has fought whole-heartedly-and
often brilliantly-in the past two weeks,
but almost always with fate against it.
Gameness, and plenty of it, is needed
to battle back always when a club is
repeatedly licked, as were the Nationals
by the Athletics. And the Nationals
never faltered. They entered the un-

to look little foolish because of their

They should resolve never again to

caused all the misunderstanding.

Mr.. Dempsey Is Deceitful.
IT is with deep pain that I note that
i Mr.. Jack Dempsey hassbeen deceiv-
ing his trusting and enthusiastic
friends, the sports writer's, all along.
Mr.. Dempsey admits this in his state
ment, giving the reasons why he has
several relations with .Signor Umberto
Fugazy and Old King Cole, the fight
promoters, who have not yet Abegun to
promote.
They had no arena, whatever, Mr.
Dempsey announced, though they had
told him they would have the Polo
Grounds. But 1t developed later" Mr..
Dempsey writes, that they could not
get the Polo Grounds. and that the Polo
Grounds were actually under the con-
troll of other parties You know in the
city of New York there are few avail

agreement and we would put pro-
vision in that agreement which gave
M the right to terminate 1t If with
in two months from the date of the
signing FugaZy and Cole were un-
able to secure such a site for an
arena"
But it seems that Mr.. Dempsey did
not take his trusting and enthusiastic
friends, the sports writer's, into his full
confidence. He posed for the signing
pictures, and he managed to gather for
himself considerable amount OF bally-
hoo, which, it now seems, is to be wasted
entirely.
His excuse is that he was pressed
for news" Perhaps the alibi is sound.
The boys should cease pressing Mr..
Dempsey for news-that sort of news at
any rate.

to join the Coliseum forces in Chi
