~ CLEVELAND, July 16-Dave
Harris, stubby washington club
gardener, has sold himself to
Walter Johnson.
Hereafter. Sir Walter today de-
Rclared, Harris will be used regu-
Iarly in the outfield when south
paws are working. At present
Harris is substituting for Manush
lin left field, while Sam West and
AGeorge Loepp. are alternating in
!, center.
Il When Manush returns West
will remain in the mid-pasture
3against right handlers. When port
tsiders are toiling Rice will again
sShift to center and Harris to
fright.
Harris has convinced me
he has plenty of power"
Manager Johnson confessed
today. "And that being the
case, I don't see why the
present arrangement shouldn't
be a permanent one.
"LOepp's a pretty good ball
player. But it's long dis
i tance rocking we need. And,
so long as Harris fills the
bill, he can stay put"
Harris is some distance re-
moved from the 800 hitting
F. mark at present. But a major
Z ity of his hits since joining the
Griffs have meant something.
/ Which, in itself, is good recon-
,mendation for his retention.
Manush's injured left leg is
bothering Manager Walter John
son no little nowadays. Heinie,
who was supposed to return to
action IN the Detroit set, now is
pointing for the Cleveland series
opening tomorrow.
"My leg hurts me plenty
after 1 work out" Manush
complained this morning. But
I'm ready to go any time Wal
ter gives the word"
| Although he misses his star
plenty, johnson is not likely to
ruSh Manush back into the
kline-up.
| Pitcher Carl Fischer, strapping
Southpaw acquired from Newark
recently, reported and worked out
| for the first time yesterday.
The big youngster cut loose
: with a fast one that set his new
teammates wild in batting prac-
tice
"I think 1 can win in this
league" he admitted after his
workout. 1--WE worked for Wal
ter johnson before. And if
can't make good for him l
ought to give up"
Today the Griffmen are to in
taugurate a six game series with
| the Indians here. Double headers
will be in order today and Sat
urday.
Irving Hadley and General
Crowder are to go into the box
sfor Walter johnson today, while
Ad Liska is to return to the
slab tomorrow.
Liska, who has been hampered
pby a sore arm, looked so impress
esive while warming up yesterday
that he has been selected as a
tSure thing to go to the mound.
! Yesterday big Fred Marberry
/ pitched his nobbiest article of
sball And Walter Johnson's
RGriffmen closed their stand
against the Detroit Tigers with
IAN impressive victory. to 0.
Fred allowed but five hits and
,.was master all the way.
Capt. Joe Judge and his mates
hfaced a fine pitcher in Waite
sHoyt. but, after finally getting
ITO the ex-Yankee, they had the
satisfaction of seeing him re-
Pmoved for a pinch-hitter late in
kthe game. Sullivan replaced him
hand finished.
Judge himself contributed the
Ewinning punch early in the game,
doubling across the winning
emargin.
/ Roger Peckinpaugh's Tribes
rmen will be out to avenge an old
EScore when they battle the GriffS
! today. During their recent trip
ito the Capital the Indians lost
four games in a row to Walter
Johnson'S men, who played a
Esmajor part in their downfall.
