in the circuit.
But while this criticism of Shomo Is
being made, it is only fair to mention
the fact that he has been more or less
up against it, First, Sam Simon was
hurt and lost for the season. Then
Schneider went down with a sore arm
and Lawson followed with knee injury.
Lisensky Is out now with pneumonia, 1t
is said. And Bobby Lyon was out of
the game for while.
So what's good for one team is not
so hot for the other, hence the chain

But the others in the Government

the only club to have two teams.

via the forfeit route But now comes
the announcement that this all-impor-
tant game will be played Saturday at
3 o'clock.
It may be recalled that Grace Episco-
pal, which tied for West Washington at
the end of the season, lost several play

Undoubtedly the team in the Depart

Now those faithful fans who trot out

The Departmental League team has a
verbal agreement with Shomo that no

it is quite all right to take players over
to the Government League to strengthen

1t seems that when this team was

TILE Settlers AGAIN
SHOW THEIR PUNCH

It appears that If any team is going
to beat the Tile Settlers it will have to
be found outside of the Industrial
League. The W. B; Hibbs team had
fans thinking that it was going to do
the trick yesterday-for eight innings.
The score was tied, 4-all, and Dickout,
Hibbs pitcher, was having the better of
duel with Anderson. But that WALTON
that the Tile Settlers carry didn't come
to life until the ninth inning, and with
two out, the ball was started and kept
rolling all over the lot. When the final
out was registered, six runs had
chalked up.
Wesley McDonalds Interstate team
apparently is going to see that Naval
Hospital has no walkaway in this sec
ond half of the Government League.
When this half started, Interstate
| started off with a 4-to-3 victory over
Naval Hospital. Fans, however, de-
just playing over their heads.
Then they dropped game and it
looked as though the dopesters were
right But since then, Interstate has
maintained steady winning streak
and by virtue of its 7-to-6 win over

in second place.

Uhle was wild, but not until the ninth
could the Nationals gain through Uhle's
wildneSs. Then they filled the sacks
with none out with a pass, a single and
pass. Neither Shires, who batted for
Spencer, nor Loepp who hit for Brown,
could help, but Myer walked to force
over the last run of the game, for Rice'S
infleld erasure left three stranded.
nALE ALEXANDER got four hits in
- row for perfect day. One was
double that cleared bases crowded
by Tigers in the second inning. He
drove over five runs and scored one
himself. Dale turned over the first base
task to Jimmy Shevlin in the eighth.
Shevlin, like De Sautels, Tiger catcher,
is Holy Cross College product. De

citing the Newark outfit year
before last, and is convinced
he has the makings of a real
major Lacquer.
Originally brought to New
ark from Medina, N. Y, by
Charles Davids, former owner
of the Bears, Fischer was
farmed to Scranton of the New
York-PennSylvania League in
1927 and recalled the following
year when, under the tutelage
of Johnson, he became the
strikeout champion of the cir
cult, registering a total of 1913
Whiffs.
According to keen judges of
mound talent, Fischer has been
endowed by nature with a SUI
perb constitution and batSmen
of the International will testify
he is formidable finger to
face, his principle asset being
a fast ball that really is fast.
On the strength of his show
ing with Newark his first year
Fischer was expected to prove
a Super-star among Glass AA
fingers in 1929, but he took the
plunge into the matrimonial
sea and the added responsible
tiles seemed to affect his work.
He started this Spring like a
house afire, Keeling off half a
dozen victories in succession,
but then slumped along with
the rest of his mates, lack of
control being his principal
fault.
What the youngster-he's
only 25-needs probably more
than anything else is a good
handler. He had one in John
son two years ago, when he
flashed so brilliantly, and now
has him again. If he can &C
quire change of pace under
the coaching of Boss Barney to
add to his swift" Fischer
ought to make good in a big
lefthanded way with the Ma
tionals, for he was regarded as
one of the most promising
pitching prospects in a circuit
which is just a trif1e short of
major caliber.

SPLIT WITH YANKS
IN WEIRD DISPLAY
ChiSox Pull Five Double Plays
to Equal Mark-Lead
in Standings.
BY oRLO ROBERTSON.


TIME Chicago White Sox may be
struggling along in the second
division of the American League,
but they still have the profitable
faculty of doing the unusual at the I'M
usual time TO pep up an otherwise draD
ball game.
Always known as a team capable of
playing championship ball one day and
then going to the other extreme II
hours later. or even earlier, the SoX
Yesterday produced few more varieties
in the way of base ball entertainment
as they divided double bill with the
New York Yankees.
The opener went to the SoX, 10 to 9,
in a long, weird affair that lasted one
minute short of three hours, while the
Yankees took the nightcap-a tame az
fair compared with the firstly the
score of to in two hours and four
minutes. 1t was in the first game, how
ever, that the Chicago Southsiders did
the unusual.
They started off by pulling four er-
rors to help the Yanks into big lead.
This advantage soon was wiped out by
a savage attack, with the result that
the teams went into the last halt OF
the ninth tied at Gall. With two out
and Reynolds, the fleet Texan, perched
on third, Watwood came through with
hit that went for single, although
Lazzeri juggled the ball for a moment,
and the game was over
To aid the cause of their three pitch
ers, the Sox also tied the American
League double-play record, pulling five.
] Fourteen men were left stranded on the
| base paths, however, which, with the
nine in the Second game, gave the Sox
a grand total of 81 left on bases in
| five games. which is probably some sort
| Of record.
Two H0mers for Gehrig.
Lou Gehrig featured the Yankees
part in the double-header, getting his
twenty home run in the opener
and his twenty-third in the second con-
test. incidentally, Manager Bob Shaw
key found a pitcher in Charles Ruffing
that could go nine innings, the Boston
cast-off winning the second.
1t took the Athletics IL innings to
defeat the St. Louis Browns, but they
finally managed to exc out a 9-to-7
decision and increase their lead in the
| Junior circuit to two full games as
Washington fell before the up and COM
! ing Detroit Tigers, to 4. The Browns
tied the champions in the eighth and
again in the ninth, but could not equal
the two runs in the eleventh. Lefty
Grove went to the rescue of Quinn, who
had relieved Earnshaw, in the eighth
and received credit for the victory.
In the other American League con-
test the Indians made it three straight
over the Red Sox, winning, to 2, when
Wesley Ferrell bested Milton CASTOR in
a hurting duel. 1t was Ferrell's thir-
tenth victory.
Only one game was played in the Ma
tional League, but the Brooklyn Robins
increased their lead to three games as
they downed the Pirates, IL to 8. Given
an early lead, DazZy Vance breeZed
along without much trouble behind the
powerful bat of Glenn Wright, who
drove in seven runs and scored four on
two homers and like number of sin
giles. Traynor also hit for four bases.

FURTHER evidence the

agement is overlooking
no bets in an effort to
annex a third American
League pennant is found in the
deal announced yesterday
whereby the left-hand-hurling
Carl Fischer becomes a Ma
tional in exchange for Myles
Thomas and an unnamed, but
undoubtedly large, bundle OF
cash, that went to the Newark
club of the international
League.
This trade is a considerably
more involved affair than ap-

quired a deal of wire pulling,
for at least half a dozen ath-

was necessary to engineer it.
According to our agent In
Newark, only the desperate
need for fortifying that team,
which has dived to seventh
place, induced its owners to
part with such a promising
performer as Fischer, upon
whom Manager John McGraw
of the Giants just a few weeks
ago held an option for $50, 900,
which he decided not to eXer-
else in the belief the young
man needed a bit more polish
ing.
What Newark has done in its
efforts to fortify is to take a
stable amount of the wad re-
ceived from the Nationals and
ship it along with Catcher Bob
Mum to Buffalo in return for
title to the services of Second
BaSeman Herb Thomas, Catch
er Charles HargreaveS, the for
mer Pirate, and Pitcher Leo
