~HICAGO, July ls-Charles John
4 Grimm, manager Of the Chi
cago Cubs, has slammed Babe
Herman on the bench for an
indefinite stay. Herman's batting
percentage Is well under the 300
mark and when he IS not hitting, his
value to the club Is two times nothing.
The gangly Californian comes close to
being the worlds worst fielder at times
and his speed is useless unless he gets
on the bases.
So Herman has traded places with
Kiki Cuyler. whose fractured leg ap-
pears to be functoning normally, which
means with plenty Of speed, and If Kiki
maces the ball with any vigor the Babe
probably will be on an extended vaca-
ton.
The Cubs believed they had added
much batting power to their lineup
when Herman was purchased from Gin
cinnati last Winter. With Brooklyn
he was a mighty walloper and while he
lost some Of his tempo with Cincin-
natl, he still poured out enough hits
to be valuable
But since joining the Cubs Herman
has been unable to find the target with

rates and the Cardinals were above
the 800 mark Neither team is
within hailing distance Of that fig
ure today. In the meantime the
Giants and the Cubs have come
steadily upward, both Of them gain
ing about a score Of points. The
biggest gain, however, has been
made by the Braves, who are about
80 percentage points better off than
they were early in June.
At this rate the Braves might
soon overtake both the Giants and
the Cubs, provided the latter stood
still. The chances are tina: the New
York and Chicago clubs will con-
tinue to hold a margin between
them and the struggling Boston
team
Boston seems to have one good
chance of landing IN the big money.

seekers out of something that is nothing
to laugh off at this time.
Uncle and Joe came out OF side
room huddle yesterday with scheme.
They had agreed that the best thing
for the interests OF the Nation and the

for today's game with st. Louis.
Nothing drastic said Mr..
Cronin. which means that Joe
will switch his hitters aroand In

Instead Of spotting his best hit
ters, Joe will likely bunch them
in an effort to assume . con-
centrated attack.
Yet, the insiders point out, arrange
ment Is not the chief cause of the Mats
slump at this time. Clouters who had
been smacking at rollicking rate have
been in the doldrums. And moving
them up or down the hitting list Is not
likely to improve their batting eye.
THE pennant hopeful Mats inability
to garner no more than three
runs in SO innings from Chicago
and ST. Louis Is serious, even granting
that the team Is in but a temporary
slump.
There is the aspect Of fatigue to the
playing Of the Senator regulars these
afternoons. Base ball men on the out
side are contending that the Griffs
were carried to heights by Cronin's in

OVER GR|FFS' SKID
Cronin's Men Pressing Too
Much, Is Explanation
Given by Chisox.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.


n 1EW YORK, July 18.-Before
M the base ball season was
/ \ very old the Washington
Senators were predicting
that the New York Yankees would
crack up" as soon as the pen
nant race swung into a fast pace.
Today the Yankees are chortling
that the Senators couldn't stand
the pace they set on their recent
trip through the West and are
doing a little cracking up them
selves.
Chicago White Sox players, who now
are here for a series with the Yanks,
say the Senators are pressing a bit too
much and seem to have a case Of nerves.
Walter Miller, the veteran southpaw who
has pitched the Sox to three victories
over the Washington club SO far this
season, found the Senators oyer-eager
to belt the ball when he faced them q
few days ago and consequently they
swung at lot Of bad Ones.
The strain involved in trying to hold
a lead in q big league race has visible
effects on the players. especially when
brief slump by the league leaders hap
pens to coincide with winning squirt
on the part of their nearest rivals.
Strain Light on Yanks.
THE Yankees have gotten so used
to heading their league that they
probably don't feel the strain as
much as some other club Obviously
the Senators got trifle jittery when
they saw the New York team taking q
brace and watched their own margin In
the percentage column melting away
The Washington batting attack has
lost some Of its power since the team
returned from the West. Joe Cronin
and Heinie Manush haven't been get
ting much help from their colleagues at
the plate.
Meanwhile the Yankee pitchers have
shown marked revival of form and
Manager Joe Mccarthy is wearing a
much more cheerful look than he had
week or two ago. Gomez Rufing and
Allen turned in some fine pitching In
their latest starts
The Senators and the Yankees will
get together in a four-game series in
Washington late next week which may
develop a Crucial aspect. Manager
Cronin's lads have knocked over the
Yanks in seven of the 10 games the
teams have played to date and If they
can keep up that ratio they won't be
counted out OF the pennant argument
until the home stretch is reached.

PIRATES RECOVER
FROM BAD SLUMP
Twin Win From Dodgers Nets
Eight Games in Last IL

n ECOvERED from a batting
X and pitching slump that
L Y threatened for a time to
plunge them into the Sec
ond division, the Pittsburgh Pt-
rates today were back in the thick
Of the National League pennant
fight.
Their pitchers clicking again
and their highly-touted outfield,
especially Paul Waner and Freddie
Lindstrom. beginning to wallop
the ball, the Pirates have won
g. games of the IL they've
played since the home stand began
and now trail the second-place
Chicago Cubs by only half a game
and the pace-setting New York
Giants by four.
Moreover, in the vital matter of
games lost the Corsairs show e two
game edge over the Cubs, who owe
their grip on second place to the fact
that they've won three more games
than the Pirates.
Taking full advantage Of the fact
that they had the major league stage
all to themselves yesterday, George
Gihson's hopefuls battered Brooklyn
pitching for 80 hits, good for A bases,
and trounced the Dodgers in both ends
Of double-header, 14-2 and TO.
Brooklyn's ace twirlers, Owen Car

charged with the defeats, but Fred

slugged him for nine hits and seven
runs in one inning. was the chief suf-

ST.. and before he could be removed
the Corsairs had pounced on him for
seven hits and eight runs, with only
one putout. Paul Waners triple with
the bases loaded sent Fred to the
showers and Rosy Ryan came In to end
the rally after one more run was scored.
Pittsburgh pounded Benge hard In
the second game and finally drove him
to cover with four-run splurge in the
fifth, Steve Swetonic's third hit of the
game. a triple, driving in two of them.
Swentonic, allowing the Dodgers only
seven scattered hits, never was IN
trouble
Bill Swift likewise pitched seventh
ball in. the opener and only one Of
Brooklyn's two runs was earned. Pie

with five. were the afternoons OUT

one and, on the third day out,
some of the passengers asked
me if I'd care to join them in a
small poker game. 1 couldn't
see much fun in the offing, but
it did offer a way to pass a few
hours. So 1 sat down in a game
where 5 cents was a huge bet.
And if you raised the pot 5
cents everybody dropped out!
Among the players was the
captain of the boat. A SWede
by birth, he was an excellent
commander and a fine seaman.
AS a conversationaliSt and
mixer, however, he was not so
hot. His sense of humor was
hardly what you might term ex-
ceptional and he seldom spoke
unless he was called upon to do
so. He was seldom called upon.
No Appreciation
The other players were not
very different. This poker game
was evidently serious thing in
their lives, and they played as
though they we're betting mil
lions instead of pennies. 1 at
tempted to tell gag or two
while I was dealing, but wasn't
regarded with a solitary smoker.
AS a matter of fact, the only
comment came from the cap
tain.
After I had finished my Sec
ond gag, he looked over at me.

said, 1--WE play cards"
After an hour or so had gone
by I was pretty well disgusted.
Aside from the usual "two pair,
kings up" or "I'll take three"
nobody said anything at all.
And to make matters worse, the
boat was beginning to rock in
fine fashion. I was on the
verge of calling it quits, when
something amazing happened
very suddenly. The captain
smiled and told joke!
Well, maybe you won't con-
slider it a joke. The pot was
rather large for that game. and
the captain had the high hand.
He exposed his hand and grin
ned happily.

serted in a strong Swedish dia-

There they are. Yessie, Bessie

That was his remark. I
laughed heartily, and SO did the
rest.
With an opening like that, I
plunged right in and attempted
to prolong the conversation.
Anything for a chance to exer-
else my voice.
Seems to me, captain" I
asserted, that we need another
name. Yessie, Bessie and Tes-
sic are good for the three
queens, but suppose you had
picked the fourth, what would
you call her?"
The captain shrugged his
shoulders. Il don't know" he
returned. ''Vot you tink?"
I looked around.
We'll" I remarked, you've
got Yessie, Bessie and Tessie.
We should have another name
to match. How about Jessie?"
To my amazement he glared
at me.

he growled. Didn't I yust say

A famous society woman
whose name is known through

in the rear of the place. That,
in itself, is highly unusual. And
