To Be Here for Yank Series;
Defeat AS in Short Tilt. 81

barely started and play was suspended,
never to be resumed.
T EE ROY MAHAFFEY, right-hand
hurler of the Mack staff, per-
Sonally conducted a parade of
Capital clubmen around the runway
in the first frame to determine the out
come of the pastime.
After Myer opened the game with
an infield single, Mahaffey issued no
fewer than five passes in the inning.
He conveniently filled the bases with
the Nationals nearly every time he had
a chance and forced over one of the
four runs they scored for fat start.
Long lofts by Cronin and Bluege and
an infield single by Whitehill sent over
the three other scores. After that Ma
haffey yielded five hits and one pass,
triple by Myer and a single by
Manush accounting for the fifth Wash
ington run put across in the fourth
inning.
Earl Whitehill went the five rounds
for the Cronin crew and off the left
handler the AS helped themselves to
five safeties. Earl issued two passes and
they were mixed in the scoring of the
lone Mack marker that went over in
the fifth round.
Whitehill's wildness may have been due
to the fact that he was pressing in his
work, eager to get the inning over to
make it legal game and seal the VIC
tory for his club. A storm that had
been gathering since the start of the
tilt seemed about to break, and the
inning was played in twilight gloom.
Williams, first up, walked only to be
forced out by McNair, batting for Ma
haffey. Earl then walked Bishop after
getting two strikes on him before pitch
ing wide one. Cramer singled and
McNair scored, but Cochrane rolled to
Kuhel, and Foxx, after taking two
strikes, lined one to Schultz in deep
center. 1t was fine catch Fred made in
the gathering darkness.
When Myer came up to bat in the
sixth, the AS had Jim Peterson on the
mound. Jim pitched two balls and a
strike and down came the rain. Nearly
Is minutes later it had stopped falling
and the umpireS were out looking over
| the situation, then came another
shower, harder than the first one, and
the officials called it game and day.
TOXX is a great home-run hitter
n to the fans in other cities but he
Is just an ordinary Dali player TO
the hard-boiled rooters here. They boo
him when he fails to hit over stretch
of two or three times at bat. He got a
great razzing as he became the third
out in the first frame and greater one
as he lined out in the fifth.
Whitehill now has pitched a dozen
| complete games, more than any other
Washington hurler has done this sea-
, son. And he has been credited with
two complete games with only dozen
innings of toll. He went through a tilt
with the Browns that was halted by
rain In the seventh inning and worked
olly five here yesterday.

SwivelC Chair Pilots Can't Win Pennants
of

Comiskey at Chicago. But it isn't
in the books that men without
knowledge of the game could do any
thing with base ball team unless
they delegated full authority to an
experienced manager.
Ball has been the boss of the
Browns for some II years and has
persistently tried to direct the team
from the front ofhce-but it has
never won a championship.
A sample of what Killefer had to
contend with in his efforts to build
up the Browns into winning team
was given earlier this season when
the st Louis club sold Rick Ferrell,
star catcher, and Lloyd Brown, a
promising pitcher, tc the Boston Red
SoX. The bargain was made and
its particulars were entered into
without the knowledge of Killefer.
He received a telegram announcing
that the sale had been made. The
sale price of the players, while not
exactly balancing the account OF
Ball, went some way toward making
it even for the season.
To lose a good battery like that
in the middle of the race was little
more than Killefer had bargai.cd

Looking to Next Year.

TINE encouraging thing to Boston
fans is that this good streak may
be prophetic of next years race,
when the Red Sox should carry on with
the improvement they have just started.
And it is to be noted that during their
rise the Red Sex have baen aided by
some remarkably good pitching, in
which three former Yankees, Gordon
Rhodes Henry johnson and George
Pipgras. played a large part.
Young Rhodes has developed into a
winning pitcher. What he seemed to
need more than anything else was work
where it meant something. While with
the Yankees he didn't get a regular
turn on the mound, so that when he
pitched he often lacked control. With
the Boston team he has had steady
work. and his control has improved
accordingly.
Pipgras has pitched in greatly i'm
proved style since he has been in Bos-
ton. 1t looks as if the change of scenery
from New York to Boston had done
him lot of good. or mavbe it is the
climate. Those breeZes that roll in
from the ocean are saturated with ozone
and give life 20 a player who is in
clined to Grunge up under the heat at
Yankee Stadium.
Collins Ideas Producing.
EDDIE COLLINS seems to be all
r, out of the notion of keeping big
Dale Alexander regularly in the
field. When Bob Quinn had the Red
Sox he would play Alexander at first
base in preference to one who was not
as powerful batter as Dale. The
theory seemed to be that the more base
hits Boston got, even if they were made
by big, clumsy men, the better chance
the team had to win. Collins can't see
it that way. He has taken Bob Seeds,
young and more springhtly player
than Alexander and made a first base
man Of him. He may not bat as well as
Alexander, but Boston is winning, SO
the proof is on Collins side.

PENNANT CHASERS
THEIR PET VICTIMS
WalIop Cubs After Proving

Move Up a Notch.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

TINE Pittsburgh Pirates may
not win the National League
i flag, but they apparently
are going to nave a lot to
say about who will. They seem
to be taking a fiendish delight in
pounding the higher placed New
York Giants and Chicago Cubs
just when it will do the most
damage.
Last week the Bucs handed the
league-leading Giants a setback by
splitting six-game series. Yesterday,
to show they were playing no favorites,
they walloped the Cubs in both ends
of double-header, 4-3 and Al, leav-
ing the Giants three games out in
front and Pittsburgh only a game and
half out of second place.
The work of three players. Steve
Swetonic, Hal Smith and Freddy Lind
strom stood out in yesterdays triumph.
The first two pitched effectively, Smith
giving only five hits and an unearned
run in the second game Lindstrom,
continuing his hitting streak through
% games, made five hits, scored two
runs and batted in three.

However, the boys are none too op-

have been proving their popularity for
some little time now. The mess jacket
OF pique Is quite tailored with its revers
and two little pockets. just like mans

sleeves with the fullness above the elbow.
One Of these Is used with black dress
which has white pique circular rufies
at the armholes and bit OF pique at

belong together.
Isn't 1t odd to combine white wash
material that heretofore we have always

the Jacket Is Of white organdy. One

puff It fastens at the center front with
little buttons covered with organdy. The

Late information shows that many wom-

jackets, and they bid fair to have a good

A real ingenue type Of evening
frock is white chiffon delicateV
sprinkled with tiny branches OF little
leaves, all printed in a soft red.
There are couple of bias ruffles
around the neck and a black cire
