MUST BEAT YANKS,
HARRIS DECLARES
Main Pennant Hurdle, Though
Not as Good as in 1882,
Says Tiger Pilot.

BY the Associated Press.
n YEW YORK, May 17-Stanley
M (BuckO Harris, young mana
v ger of the Detroit Tigers, still
thinks the New York Yankees
are the club to beat for the American
League pennant, even though he's con-
vinced the champions are by no means
as formidable as they were year ago.
On the basis of the first months re-
suits, Harris figures on much closer
race all the way, with the Washington
Senator's. Philadelphia Athletics, Cleve-
land Indians and Chicago White Sox all
good, tough clubs, and the Boston Red
Sox much improved outfit through its
numerous player deals.
"As for the Tigers" he said, we're
seventh in hitting and eighth in field
ing which just about explains why We
haven't started out so well. II we can
snap out of it, we should get back into
the first division. Our pitching has been
good. but so has everybody else'S."
He bemoaned the loss for month OF
young Lyn Rowe's pitching services be-
cause of sore arm. but insists that
the "schoolboy' will be a winner when
he gets back.
Harris pointed out that the Yankees
had all sorts of troubles on their first
road trip; thinks Babe Ruth has slowed
down great deal, although he still IS
the most dangerous man on the club
at bat; believes Lou Gehrig soon may
begin to feel the strain on his long
playing streak, and doubts whether the
champions. even when Johnny Allen
gets back into harness, will get quite as
good pitching as they did a year ago.

with the Indians in the Ameri-
can League championship chase. Now
their problem is finding the pitching
to keep them around the heights.
The Washington wallopers have
packed power plus the past two weeks,
yet their heavy hitting has not saved
their pitching staff. While this sound
socking has been going on. the Ma
tionals have averaged three pitchers
to the game, a strain no curving corps
may reasonably be expected to with
stand for long.
The Nationals yesterday gave their
greatest display Of offensive power this
season In amassing ~ safeties to get
their 11-to-10 win over the Tribe, but
they had to 60 to the twelfth inning for
their triumph. The Washington pitch
ers tottered So the Indians brushed
aside a 7-to-1 advantage gained early
by the home side and before the game
was bagged Manager Joe Cronin had
paraded six of his slabmen to the fir
ing line.
Al Thomas, the newly married, and
Earl Whitehill, starters in last Sun
days double header In Chicago, were
the only Washington hill hands who
failed to crash the lineup as the stand
against the Western outfits opened, and
Whitehill was down in the bullpen
warming up when play ended.

Nationals. Bean and Connally had been

Stewart, weakening in the fifth, was
forced out of action in the sixth as the
Tribe put across its sixth run. Burke

Eddie Collins Doing Good Job
in Strengthening the
League in Boston.
BY JOHN B. FOSTER.

YEW YORK, May 1.-THE
M Boston American League
/ Y club has received some
needed and effective i'm
provement. No club has been
strengthened as much as this has
been. The proof of this will be
demonstrated in the current series
of the Red SoX at home, against
the invading Western teams.
A good catcher was secured in Rick
Ferrell brother of the famous Wes Fer
rell, who pitches for the Cleveland club.
In addition, two pitchers who have
something in them have becn pur-
chased-Lloyd Brown from st. Louis
and George Pipgras from the Yankees.
To top it all off, Boston obtained Bill
Werber from the New York club. The
Washington, D. c., product and Duke
University graduate is a shortstop and
a good one.
The sale of Werber by New York
was much of surprise. 1t generally
had been expected that Joe Mccarthy
would let one of the other infelders
a good trial in the Spring, Mccarthy
must be convinced that the young man
is not quite ready for his team, in view
of the fact that he is carrying Frank
Crosetti at Shortstop and has Lyn Larry
to use in case CroSetti is injured.
4 T Boston, however, Werber will be
"A a welcome addition to a team that
is on the upgrade. Werber's work
at shortstop' in 1882 for Buffalo was
thoroughly Endorsed by Ray Schalk.
who managed that team. 1t may be
that, waiting to see whether he was
going to be put out on option, Buffalo
has been disappointed this year in not
being able to get him back at an option
figure. Or it may be that the Yankees
were afraid there might be some ques-
ton about their right to option him
again. Rather than take a chance on
a dispute over anything of the kind,
they determined to sell him to Boston
outright
Pipgras has been in disfavor with
Mccarthy ever since he came so near
slipping up and losing a world series
game with Chicago last year. His work
on that day was not particularly salts
factory to the New York crowd and
he was taken out of the game before
left in his arm. however. and under
Eddie Collins direction he is pretty
sure to pitch some good ball for the
Boston club.
THE deals for Ferrell and Brown are
i said to have been made direct by
Phil Ball, who makes most of the
deals for the st. Louis Browns and
seems to make them from a personal
standpoint as much as for any other
reason. That is. If a ball player gets
the advantage Of him one year, he will
come back the next year. or the next
month perhaps, and sell him for good
round price. Apparently Ball has no
notion of winning the pennant this
year, as he has not yet reached the
nucleus Of good players with whom he
might expect to capture, some day,
championship honors.
Building up the Red SoX, as has
been done ever since it was announced
that Eddie Collins and his millionaire
boss. Tom Yawkey. had taken charge
of the club. is an act of rare good
judgment on their part and sure to
earn them appreciation in the future.

WASHINGTON FASHIONS

The shoes we're showing to-
day have a very special history.
They were selected by Madame
Schiapareli for her name
quins to wear at her fall opening
in Paris.
The are American designed
and American made, and they
are three of several shoes Sc
lected, four styles of which are
in Washington.
Madame Schiaparelli is greatly
interested in things American.
She once lived in New York, and
she paid quite visit there last
spring. She admireS this coun-
try, and understands us and
our life.
American Made
So it's no wonder that she
chose American shoes to go with
her clothes that are so Amer.
lean in their tone and flavor.
And she was wise in her choice,
for shoes are one article Of dress
that we make better than the
French.
We design them better, and
make them better, though we
may copy some of their designs
once in a while. French shoes
are hard on our feet, too, and
that's another reason they've
never been popular here.
Suede Important
The three shoes photographed
are most attractive. The Ca
bana tie is of suede in black or
brown, with perforations etched
through the suede in a leaf
like design.
Perforated shoes go we'll
with the porous fabrics we're
using this year. This shoe is
$3.50, and there's another with
the same design, cut higher in
oxford fashion, and with a
squarer heel.
The T-Strap shoe is also Of
suede, in black with silver pip
ing. T straps give the foot a
high-ankle look, which is in
keeping with the high neckline
and shoulder interest of fall
fashions. This shoe is $3.50.
Typically Sports
Schiaparelli excelS in sports
clothes, so it's no wonder she
selected a typically American
sturdy sports oxford as one Of
her models. The ghillie shown
is Of brown calf, and she had it
worn with her best sports
clothes.
| The laces are a new type that
