that Gen. Alvin Crowder needs
four rest days between turns,
Manager Walter Johnson has re-
vised his pitching plans.
n, Sad Sam Jones, another vet
.eran, is already functioning on
this basis. And with Crowder
similarly routed, Johnson intends
calling upon Ad Liska and Bobby
Burke to round out his starting
Staff.
I'm convinced that CrOwder
F1wil show up better under this
system" johnson explained to-
day. "And LiSka and Burke
J, are both capable of pitching
good ball.
IN "Since we've got enough good
singers to carry on there's no
reason why anybody should be
J. rushed"
The General was far from him
self in the recent Cleveland Sc
ries. Though winning his game,
he displayed unmistakable traces
sof weariness throughout.
Coming back Sunday he was a
comparatively easy mark for the
Brownies, cracking about midway
in the game after being handed a
fairly comfortable early period
lead.
There's no doubt but what
FCrOwder's a fine pitcher" John
SON continued while discussing
his plans. "But l think We may
have been shooting him at the
enemy too often. Anyhow, I'm
going to give him his rest and
see IL he won't benefit by it,"
4 With Burke and Liska supple
snenting Marberry, Jones and
aHadley as nine-inning mounds
men, the relief work will be
entrusted to Lloyd Brown and
Carl Fischer temporarily. While
Brown is to get first call in the
bull-pen, Fischer will also be
given an occasional fling. The
youngster's dazzling speed so i'm
pressed Manager Walter john
son last week that it would not
surprise if he were pitching in
rotation before the end Of the
current campaign.
'Tet Carl get his bearings
+ and he'll pitch winning ball
in any mans league" was
the verdict handed down by
Catcher Roy Spencer today.
Barring Lefty Grove, he has
as much speed as any
moundsman in the American
League"
Although Left-fielder Heinie Ma
snush is eager to get back into
the lineup, Manager Walter john
son has officially decided to sid7-
track him until the Chicag1
White Sox series. He ADMITTED
as much today after going into
conference with Trainer Mike
Martin.
WED be taking a big chance
if we risked Heine right now"
Martin declared this morning.
,"Give him two or three more
days to come around in and
he'll be ready to start at top
! speed in Chicago.
"There'S no use gambling
with q man as valuable as
t Manush. That's why we've ad-
vised him to rest that strained
left leg until he is really in
shape to play ball"
Heine hustled through a
strenuous workout yesterday. Al
though reporting a marked ill
provement in the condition Of his
leg, he admitted that he was not
quite ready to cut loose aG his
fastest clip in the outf1eld.
"Give me a couple of more
workouts like them and I'll
=, be ready to co." he enthused
- today. until then I'll try
.''s my best to be patient"
Those troublesome Brownies,
+ one of the lowliest combinations
in either big league, continue to
haunt the Washington clubs
/ championship dreams. To date
the st. Louisians have won of
+ 18 clashes with Walter Johnson's
!. men.
To-day Sad Sam Jones will en-
s deavor to turn the tide of battle
Z when the two clubs meet in the
third game of their current get
I together. He is to lock up in
1.-THE box with Dick Coffman, him
E,self a former Washington club
! singer.
The Griffs must bag both
!, of their remaining starts to
! gain an even break during
their present stand.
q The heat got Bump Hadley in
the sixth frame yesterday and
the Browns Tailed five times off
three enemy pitchers to put over
their verdict during that session.
The final count was 6 to 4.
Hadley pitched runless ball for
five paragraphs, but weakened
perceptibly in the sixth when the
intense warmth neceSSitated his
removal.
Goose Goslin started it all
with a home run over the right
field wall, his seventeenth Of the
/ season, after Hale had walked.
Kress then walked and Hadley
was relieved by Brown. Brown
Immediately proceeded to pass
N'erren and Schultz, filling the
pathways. and had worked up a
two-ball and no strike count on
