~ OSTON, Mass, May with
K First Baseman Joe Judge in
- the Peter Bent Brigham
Hospital a very sick man
following his quick operation for
appendicitis, and Catcher Roy
Spencer feeling none too clipper
as the result of stopping a foul
with his knee, Manager Walter
johnson Is having his troubles
with the Washington drive, which
suffered and then stopped here
yesterday, when it was set down
by the Red Sox, 10 to 4.
Judge first began to show pain IN the
third inning, when bending became Q
problem with him. At the end OF the
fifth he walked to the bench complain
ing of severe pains and was taken to
the hospital, where he was under OBJ
servation until o'clock. 1t was then
decided to operate and remove the
source Of the trouble.
The Griff'S first baSeman is the Sec
ond base ball invader within week to
be housed at the Peter Bent Brigham
Babe Ruth of the Yanks having beer
there from Wednesday until Sunday
with his now historic injured left thigh
And DR.. Frances C. Newton, who OPP
Grated on Judge last night, Is the same
physician who administered first aic
and later treatment to Ruth, thereby
giving the hospital house physician some
sort Of record.
Kuhel Recalled.
WHEN Judge was taken to the hos
pitA1 O wire Immediately was dispatched
to Baltimore, where Joe Kuhel, the aths
lete who made good in big way, Il
filing In for the Ailing Joe HauSer
Baxter Jordan, utility man; played gu.
the game for the Senators, but kuhel
expected to be on hand for the double
header this afternoon.
Spencer may be back on duty today
but II he cannot go the two games. Cliff
Bolton will be on the Job, continuing
from where he left of yesterday, wher
he finished up behind the bat and did q
fairly good Job. According to advance
information Firpo Marberry and Charley
Fischer are to be the starting pitchers
for Washington, with Fischer beginning
his f1rst major league game, although he
has appeared in relief roles.
Opposed to these two are Danny Mac
Fayden and big Ed Norris neither Of
whom has pitched q full game this
) year. MacFayden, in fact, has yet tc
go O full inning, his starts against the
Yankees being disastrous right at the
outset. Whether he has finally settled
down to the stride which In the past
has made him an outstanding pitcher
remains to be seen.
Get Crowder Quickly.
As for the opening game, the story i
that Gen. Alvin Crowder, who usec
to be able to beat the Sox by Just
, throwing in his glove when he was with
the Browns, has become cousin.
Even as he was routed by them ir
washington on April 10, so was III
knocked akimbo yesterday, when three
consecutive doubles and singles and Z
walk forced his retirement With ONLY
one man out three runs in and thu
bases full. Relieving Pitcher Bob Burke
walked the first man he faced, forcing
in another run, but then got the mex
two men.
Burke was fairly effective until hi
gave way TO a pinch hitter in the
seventh, although he allowed one run
on q double and single, but Walter
Tauscher had nothing at all in tht
seventh. On the other hand, his mates
were no help at all to him, for some
sharp fielding might have saved him
all the embarrassment which he SUI
fered. At any rate he was nicked fol
six hits and five runs.
While all this was going on, the
Senators again bowed their heads II
submission before Jack Russell, the
tall Texan who had beaten them II
that game in Washington. Russell
held them to six hits and two runs II
the first eight innings, but In the ninth
eased up and allowed four hits anc
two runs, the runs being driven in BY
Red Hargrave's pinch single aftel
Sammy West had doubled and OSsit
Bluege had singled. West, incidentally
led the attack with three hits, Of which
one was a double, while Joe CroniY
and Bluege each made two hits. Anc
that was the story of the game fol
which Boston had waited since lag
Saturday TO be played, since every
contest scheduled this week had beer
either rained or frozen out.
