HADLEY
. TO WORK AS
!. REGULAR
BY JOE HOLMAN

EN- ROUTE NEW YORK, May
ga revised pitching staff made
up of five men was selected by
Manager Walter johnson today.
Under the new order of things
Irving Hadley who has been con-
fined mostly to relief roles since
late April, is to start games again.
He will supplant Carl Fischer,
Rookie Newark southpaw. This
despite the burst Of wiIdness ex-
! hibitcd by Bump" yesterday.
While Fischer will still be
closely watched, it is Sir Walters
opinion that the kid Southpaw is
best fitted for emergency work
at present. He says:
understand, I'm not giving
up on Carl. He's a great pros
pect. But Hadley looks good
, and figures to win US plenty Of
games on the home field. If
anything, Hadley has more stuff
than ever. He's been blazing
that fast one in q mile-a-minute,
and has got a great break on
7. his curve"
Fred Marberry, Lloyd Brown,
Sam Jones and Al Crowder are
other singers upon whom John
son is banking heavily.
"Of course Jones has to work
on virtually a game a week
schedule" Walter declares, "but
there are others to fill in,
when he isn't ready. Brownie,
for one, wants more work, and
Hadley always goes best when
used often. With this pair
taking occasional overtime as
signments and the other three
working their turns we ought
to get some high class pitch
ing"
Another whose work has i'm
pressed johnson and who likely
will get the first-string relief call
hereafter is slender Bobby Burke,
the Joliet forkhander.
In recent showings Burke has
disported cleverly under difficult
conditions and is deserving OF an
opportunity to show something.
Hargrave in Reserve
If the Griffmen fall into a
hitting rut, and here's hoping
they won't, Bill Hargrave will see
plenty of service behind the bat.
Because Jackie Hayes is play
ing acceptable ball around the
keystone and Buddy" Myers
sprained wrist still handicaps him
at bat, the present infield likely
will remain active for several
days.
"My wrist doesn't bother me
until 1 try to grip bat" Myer
explains. "Then it gives me
fits"
Myers absence is all the more
regrettable when it is considered
that he had rounded into top
stride before injuring his wrist.
He was playing bang-up defensive
ball and hitting consistently at
the time.
Brown Faces Yanks
'. LLOYD Brown will mount the
slab tomorrow when Washington
engages New York in a one-game
stand at Yankee Stadium. Gen
eral" Alvin Crowder. who en-
trained directly for Washington
last night, is to work Sundays
game against the Red Sox at
Griffith Stadium.
Although Fred Marberry was
summoned to his rescue with the
bases loaded and two gone in the
sixth, Irving Hadley was credited
with the veredict as Washington
tripped Chicago yesterday.
BY registering Washington
automatically marked off its
ninth success in II games
against intersectiOnal fOemen.
Heine Manush had an i'm.
portant say-So in Washington's
victory. After tripling across a
run in the opening frame, Heine
accounts for a pair more in the
third when he drove a home
run into the upper right field
stands with Sammy Rice on.
Hadley Is Wild
Wildness forced Hadley'S re-
moval from the box in the sixth,
Marberry relieving him with the
bases full and retiring the side.
AL Thomas, Chicago'S ace of
aces, was belted from the box
early. Hal McKain replacing him.
