Jones JOINS JUDGE
ON THE AILING LIST
Trade With ChiSox Rumored
as Final With Indians
Is Staged.
BY JOHN B. KELLER,

4 CLEVELAND, June 10
Their visit to Tigertown
not so profitable and re-
pulsed with severe loss in
their raid on the Indians
stronghold, the Nationals tomor-
row will look for success else
where. Following the Wind-up of
the series with the Tribe this aft
ernoon, their schedule sends
them Into Chicago, where they
are to tackle the White SoX the
next three days.
The Nationals may find the going
better there than they have thus far
in the western sector. When The
Bushmen were in Washington last
month they were defeated in three Of
four games and had to work overtime
for their lone win. But then the Ma
tionals were playing much better ball
than at present.
What walloping the Washington
club has taken recently. Only two
weeks ago today the club was leading
the American League with a four
game advantage over the second-place
Athletics. Since, however, they have
been defeated eight times in 10 starts
and now are in second place, trailing
the AS three games.
What's more the Indians by licking
them, to 3, here yesterday pulled
themselves to within half a game of
second place. And the fourth-place
Yankees are not so far back of the
Washington outfit. Looks as though
the three clubs back of the world
champion AS may be even mere close

a S though the Nationals hadn't been
"A having enough trouble lately, what
with their pitchers first wabbling
and their batters then slumping, along
comes another misfortune in the form
of an injury to Joe Judge, veteran first
sacker Joe sprung a charley-horse in
his left leg yesterday and may be on
the bench for some time.
The injury, the first of its nature
Judge has suffered in three seasons,
came in the second inning, when Joe
beat out an inf1eld hit. He limped
around a bit after reaching first base,
but managed to stick in the game I'M
til his team took the field in the fifth.
Then he had to give way to Jack Hayes.
Those in charge of the club declare
Judges hurt slight, but a charley-horse
which is base balls name for a
pulled leg muScle-never has been
really slight injury, especially in the
case of a veteran like Judge, whose legs
have been subjected to strain so long.
Judge may be out of action but a day
or two, but the chances are it will be
longer.
IN the meantime Hayes. will cover
first base. Jack, of course, will give
the club all he has, but Judge will be
sorely missed.
4 MOTHER ailing Griffman came to
IA light yesterday. Sam Jones, the
sonber squire who had been visit
ing his home in Woodsf1eld, Ohio, re-
ported when joining the club here that
q glandular affection had kept him in
bed two days and that it still so affect
ed him that he probably would not be
able to work in the pitchers box for
several days.
Jones had been expected to pitch the
final game of the series here this after
noon. His condition forcing him to
idle, the Nationals had only Bump Had
handed division of the mound corps left
to use against the Indians and it was
likely that Hadley would get the call.
TRADE rumors are in the air here.
l. 'Tis said a deal between the
Nationals and Browns is contem-
plated, but Manager johnson will not
ally u dAC JCPOL
The rumor may be like that which
went the rounds in Detroit while the
Nationals were there-pure bunk. Then
"'twaS said Manager Harris was looking
for something Washington had in eX-
change for Bob Fothergill, right-hand
swinging outf1elder. AS matter OF
fact, neither Harris nor Manager john
son made any move to effect a trade

corning the possibility of a trade.
This present rumor doesn't seem tC
have any reasonable foundation, for the
only players the Browns have that the
Nationals would like to get are George
Blaeholder, pitcher. and Fred Schultz
outfelder. Offers for these players have
been made before and Spurned by the
st. Louis ownership, which wanted much
more than Washington felt it could af.
ford to give.
There's a chance, though, that 6

Nationals would very much like to pos

the White SoX desire. With only fiv
more days remaining before the BIZ
