power, speed and hustle in their
favor and should go far in the
1880 American League champion
ship parade,
This belief was voiced by Man
ager DOME Bush today.
81 notice I've been quoted in
some quarters as putting a
wet blanket on the chances Of
Walter JOhnSOn's ball club"
DOME announced this morning.
"That'S the bunk"
81 did say that I thought
the Philadelphia Athletics and
New York Yankees had an edge
on the field. But added that
any of four others, given a
break. could cause plenty Of
trouble"
Bush modeStly refrains from
commenting on his White SoX.
They'll be hustling all the
time" was his only observation,
"and when a clubs got the
right spirit it generally does its
bit"
Outspoken and likeable as
always. Bush readily expressed
himself regarding the Griffmen.
Walter JohnsOn's done a
fine job with his ball club" the
little leader confessed. "The
thing / noticed most yesterday
was its speed on the bases.
Goose, GOSlin looked particu-
IarIy good to me. They tell
me he's been in a slump. But
when anybody hits the ball and
runs bases like he did yester-
day, they can play ball for me.
While DOME considers the ACh-
letics and Yankees outstanding
he looks for the Griffmen, In
dians and Browns. among others.
TO enter the pennant scramble.
"Any kind of a break might
send one of those clubs on to
pennant," he explained while
discussing the subject. Base
ball is a funny business.
There's no doubt in my
mind but what the 1880 Amer
lean League race should tighten
ND plenty. Even the Red SOx,
who have trailed for years, are
full of fight and spirit and
consequently are in position
to knock off the tOp-nOtcherS."
While DOME has little to say,
his players intimate that those
Sox, with Bush at the helm, are
not to be overlooked.
1--WE may not figure in the
flag" a veteran insisted in con-
fidence, "but DOME has given
us plenty of confidence. He's
a born handler of men and the
right kind of guy to get the
most out Of youngsters"
The Great Art Shires is great
no more-that is on the ball
field. A huge chew of tobacco
alone Identifies the one time
American League storm center
today.
Off the field, however. his ma
iesty Shires still holds forth. Yes
terday his entrance into Griffith
Stadium would have befitted no
bility itself.
Dangling a cane. the Great Art
was nattily attired in green suit
and a hat of similar hue. Page
Babe Ruth!
Ad LiSka, the underhand
slab phenOm, will be sent into
battle against Red Faber when
the Griffmen and White SOx
collide in the second game Of
their series today.
Liska was pounded from the
peak in his initial nine inning
start but hopes to get started
today.
Faber. whose seniority is chal-
lenged by Jack Quinn alone, still
has plenty of service left in his
venerable Soupbone. Ever a Wash
ington Club puzzle, he is set to
put up a rouSing argument.
Terrific Slugging marked yeSter-
days competition when the GriffS
outslugged DOME Bush's Detroit
Tigers, 14-3.
Goose Goslin. Sammy Rice and
Sam West we're outstanding in
a two-fisted attack which de-
luged Dutch Henry, Young Ed
Walsh and Lefty CaraWay.
Rice hit safely in his twentieth
straight game when he battered
a home run with two on in the
second and followed up with
two doubles. Goslin got home
run, single and sacrifice fly, and
West connected for triple and
single. Joe Cronin also collected
two doubles and single.
1t was a SlugfeSt from start
to finish. lloyd Brown. Wash
ington Club ace. permitted l3
hits but scattered them effec,
lively enough to account for his
fourth winning of the year.
