SAM WEST TIES
HITS IN ROW
RECORD

A change of scenery now and
then is relished by the best Of
men, as the poetic convict OBJ
served when he scaled the prison
wall, and major league ball play
ers who changed uniforms during
the winter are demonstrating the
truth of the adage in early sea-
son games.
Take Outfielder Sam West, for
instance. Washington traded him
to the st. Louis Browns to obtain
greater batting strength. The
best the light-hitting Sam could
do for his new mates against
the White Sox yesterday was to
garner six hits in six times at bat,
tying the modern big league rec
ord. Roger Cramer hit IS for g.
with the AS last June, but few
players have duplicated the feat,
none has accomplished it this
early in the season and nobody
has done any better since Wilbert
Robinson clubbed "7 for Z" with
the Baltimore Orioles in 1892.
Kept Browns in Came
Vests batting yesterday kept
the Browns in the game until
the eleventh inning when AL Sim.
mons, another expatriate who is
going great guns, delivered a
wallop that broke the tie and
started a rally that gave Chicago
an 11-to-7 victory.
Two more castoffs, Jake Flow
erS and Joe Judge, helped Brook
lyn down the Phils, 5 to 4, for
its first opening day victory since
1927. Each drove in a run and
Flowers stole home with another.
Babe Herman, another favorite
trading chattel, blasted three
doubles but his mates couldn't hit
Wild Bill Hallahan, of the Cardi-
mails, who won a 3-to-1 decision
over Guy Bush, Of the Cubs.
thanks to a homer by Jimmy
Collins with one on base.
Fred Lindstrom, also enjoying
a change Of scenery, made it four
hits in two days as Pittsburgh
trimmed the Reds again, S to 2.
Larry French held the Reds to
four hits.
Gehrig Homer Wins
The 269th home run of Lou
Gehrig's career, coming with two
on base in the first inning,
enabled Lefty Gomez, of the
Yankees, to squeeze out a 4-to-3
win over the Red Sox. The
Yankees have not been shut out
in 212 successive American
League games, a worlds record,
and Lou Gehrig, durable first
baseman, has appeared in 1,19S
consecutive league contests. One
of his ambitions this year is to
surpass the record of 1907 set by
Deacon Scott.
A homer by Bill Knickerbocker,
Cleveland's prize rookie, climaxed
a siX-run ninth inning rally that
staked the Indians to 7-to-4
triumph over Detroit

come the handicap even if they
had had several more innings
to go.
The Griffs won the game, II to
4, by virtue of fine batting rally
in the sixth inning which netted
six runs off George EarnshaW,
who was Manager Connie Mack's
starter, and Bill Dietrich, relief
pitcher.
Two runs only an inning before
had given Manager Cronin and
his men a 2-to-0 lead. The six
later proved just the item needed
to show Connie Mack that Earn
shaw was not his right pitching
choice for the day, and that the
Griffs were truly a vicious team
as their continued hits off Mack's
relief pitchers, Bill Dietrich and
Jim Peterson, brought out.
Goose Hits Homer
Goose Goslin soaked a homer
over the right field fence off
Peterson in the eighth, while sin
giles by Bluege and Whitehill and
a double by Kuhel in the seventh
made Peterson realize that he had
to turn in some out of the ordinary
pitching to stop the Griff hitting
mood, which was mood, if any,
one would ask you.
Whitehill, in his official 1888
regular season debut as a Griff-
man, was a little wild during the
early innings, but wild enough to
keep the AS from batting the ball
out of the lot in the crucial mo-
ments. He retired them scoreless
for the first five innings, then
gave up four runs during the re-
mainder Of the way, the Macks
collecting six hits-their exact
total for the day.
And so Mr.. Whitehill feathered
Triumph Number One under his
cap in that 20 supposed to be
totaled by the figurings" Of the
hot-StoverS. The former Detroit
star may turn the trick yet as
he's. full of pep and quite able to
win in the future if he keeps up
his good work Of yesterday.

CLAN TSPEEVED
BY SNOWFALL

BOSTON, April 14.-Tired Of
lounging around a hotel lobby
for three days waiting for 18
inches of snow on Braves Field
to melt, SECRETARY Jim Tierney
of the New York Giants, declared
today he would make a demand
at the next meeting of the Ma
tional League that no games be
booked at Boston until late in
April.
"The Giants are sick and
tired of paying hotel and rail-
road fare here year after year
and never having a chance Of
even working out in the ball
park" he said.
Although unfavorable weather
held attendance down to about
1000 in Chicago and st. Louis
yesterday. some 10000 fans braved
chill winds to watch the Yankees
and Red Sox open in New York.

REFEREE PLAYS
SAVIOUR ROLE

Some 1000 disciples of wrest-
ling were nearly treated to a
double crucifixtion at the Wash
ington Auditorium last night,
only to have the kindly referee,
Cyclone Burns, play the role of
saviour"
The two principals, Ernie Du-
SEX and Gino Garibaldi, were try
ing to nail each other to the
cross of defeat and either would
have sold the other for less than
30 pieces Of silver, or a carload
Of insult stock.
Each Lashes Other
They had gouged and lashed
each other for fully 40 minutes,
in fact so much so that either
would have gladly worn a crown
of thorns. Each was thoroughly
punished and it was a question
Of who possessed the greater
stamina.
Then, like a gigantic storm
arising from nowhere, the two
crashed headlong into each other
and the sound of the crash was
heard blocks away. Garibaldi
tumbled outside the ropes, ex.
tinguished as near beer. Dusek
fell to the canvas and laid like
a corpse, needing, but a coroner's
autopsy.
Award Dusek Victory
Burns began the count and,
after passing 10, found that Gar
ibaldi was still in his coma, un-
able to re-enter the ring. So Burns
awarded the victory to Dusek
who was inside the ring, though
perhaps not in any too good shape
to continue.
Everett Marshall, the blond
terror from the West, and George
Zaharias tussled to a 3O-minute
draw. Dick Raines flipped Casey
Berger with a body slam in 10
minutes. Vic Christy spilled
George Hill with a crotch hold in
1912 minutes while Abe Coleman
and Karl Davis Shuffled 80 min
utes to a draw in an exciting
bout.

Those Base Plays

But, strange as it may seem,
we don't get near the bang out
Of a home run that we do out OF
q good play around the bases,
and in this respect the afternoon
was not in vain.
It came in the fifth inning
after .Earnshaw had gotten to
first on Goslin's error and it all
happened with such suddenness
it must have been something of
. surprise to the principals.
Bishop came to the bat, with
none out and rifled line drive
right into Kuhel's glove, the
latter stepping on the base to
double up Bishop who had
taken a short lead.
It was the shot heard round
the world, as far as we were
concerned and we are still Won
dering how Kuhel got his hands
up in time to stop it. So, it
looks now like almost any after.

Big Gawge Earnshaw didn't
look quite so big as he often
has against Washington and
someway or another we got the
impression that what he meant
last winter when he said the
Yanks were in was that insofar
as the AS are concerned they
were in. But, of course, Big
yGawge wasn't reckoning with

BOY MANAGER,
men, WORK
To WIN
BY GARRETT WATERS

The Griffmen have played two
games to date in the 1888 Amer
lean League race. Both have been
against one Of the supposed pow
ers of the circuit this year-the
Philadelphia AS. And, encourage
ing to say, two victories have been
scored.
The Griffs have looked quite up
to snuff in getting off to this sue
cessful start. The pitchers have
pitched, the hitters have hit and
the fielders have taken care Of
practically everything that has
come their way.
The spirit has been all that
could be asked. Manager Joe
Cronin has given the impression
that he really will be able to play
as we'll as direct.
Griffs Should GO"
What the future has in store
nobody can easily foresee. How
ever, it stands to reason that the
Griffs, because of their flying
start, have a great chance of con-
tinuing in their excellent stride,
particularly in view of few
breaks in the schedule ahead
which find them meeting the
lowly Boston Red Sox, chronic last
place champions, in a series Of
four games, starting tomorrow.
Getting down to personal view
points, it is very easy to report
here that Manager Joe Cronin is
naturally overjoyed over the man.
ner in which his men have per.
formed so far. Not wishing to
be thought of as too enthusiastic,
he believes that "everything" will
continue to go along in excellent
fashion in the future and that
his boys will go into every game
to win regardless of the opposi-
ton, whether it's the AS, YankS,
and Red Sox, or any of those
clubs making up the western
sector Of the circuit.
'Tt's this idea about the situa.
tiOn that's really great" said
Pilot Joe today. "The boys
are not playing their heads off
just because the AS are in
town. It's because there's
game out there on the field
every day and it's their aim to
walk off with victory under
their belts no matter which
team this triumph might be
scored over. This sort of spirit
will win a lot of games for us
this seaSOn-iust watch"
Cronin, incidentally, respects
the AS even though his GriffS
have defeated Connie Mack's men
right handily the past two days.
They're going to be plenty tough,
he believes, later on when the
going gets adjusted, particularly
when Foxx, McNair, EarnShaw
and Grove have reached their
best condition.
However, we'll be in there to
defeat the team against us for
the day." allows the youthful
pilot, "even though that team
might be the AS at the mo.
ment. That's the kind of ball
club we are this year, and I'm
thinking we're going to stay
that kind throughout this CAM
paign."
Lefty Walter Stewart was to
make his official 1888 debut as
a Griff in today'S third and final
game of the current series with
the AS. Connie Mack was sched-
uled to use Bob Grove, super left"
handler, unless making another
of his famous changes. Monte
Weaver was to be Cronin's choice
in tomorrow's opening contest
with the Red Sox.
