A Hight -Han0eu ISSUE
vYyILD william Hallahan must be
w yanked, of course. It's pretty
certain by this time that he
never can regain the effectiveness
that made him the best pitcher in
the National League two. three and
four years ago. The boys are men
tioning Hubbell, Dizzy Dean, Frank
house, Mungo and Warneke as his
successors. Hubbell and Warneke saw
action in the game last year. and
Hubbell, at his peak then, made the
better showing.
If the National League starts
southpaw the screwballer is
the logical bet again. The right
handed issue is between Dean
and MungO.
Warneke is a fine pitcher. but I
prefer the two eccentrics from st.
Louis and Brooklyn. Dean has the
stuff and Mungo has the speed. II
the handlers of the National League
team were getting their instructions
by way of Flatbush. and it's just as
well they're not. they might start
Mungo and see what happened.
Dickey and Lopez are the class OF
their respective leagues in the receiv-
ing department. Dickey outshines the
all-star choice of a year ago, Rick
Ferrell, and Senor Lopez is far more
versatile than either Gabby Hartnett
or Jimmy Wilson, though Jimmy is
hitting several miles over his normal
notch just now.
Senor would do the best job
of catching Mungo, and Mr..
Dickey, Of course, is not entire
ly unfamiliar with the delivery
of Lefty Gomez.
The hottest debate Of the year con-
Germs Lou Gehrig and Jimmy Foxx
and the only method of avoiding
bloodshed and minor attractions Is to
put them both on the squad again and
play them according to the pitching
With them In the infield should be
Charlie Gehringer. Joe Cronin and
Frank Higgins-but that, of course, is
just one mans opinion.

several lnncIu CanuluateS.
THE National League infield Is not
so easy, and a certain amount of
judicious booing will be per-
mitted after you have read these sug-
gestions. At first base Terry and Gus
Suhr deserve the edge over Sam Les
lie. Sunny James Bottomley and
James the Ripper Collins.
Terry and Suhr are tougher
competitors than Sam and the
Ripper, though they may not
hit as often from day to day.
Here and there along the inner
ramparts could be scattered frankie
Frisch, Travis jackson and Pinky
Whitney, with English and Cuccinello
for alternates.
No argument will be made about
the National League outfeld If you'll
just concede Joe the Duck, the heir
Of the Medwicks. Paul Waner and
Chuck Klein belong in there with the
Hafey and Berger and Lindstrom.
Take your pick. The real storm
clouds are going to break over this
an-star pickfest when some OF the
pickers begin writing Babe Ruth off
the record The Babe is not the
easiest guy in the world to keep away
from a party.
For Aud Lang Syne. As
Burns put ii. and also for his
value As a pinch hitter, the
Babe should be given q spot on
the squad.
You couldn't start him and be on
the level. though. There are a dozen
better apple-reapers in the league,
including Averill, Fred Schultz and
Roy johnson. Vosmik. West and Sim
mons make up another fair to aver
age string trio. The company Is too
fast for old Herr Ruth.
But it's just game, as the Boy
Scouts say. and there is no point bar
ring the old guy. He probably would
enter the Polo Grounds by way Of a
jagged 10-foot hole in the fence If
the boys omitted to invite him to the
party on July 10.

Lefties Weak at Bat.

- ASING out the left-handers per-
haps was a good move. Any
way, but one hit was made be-
tween the pair in Washington's start
ing lineup. That was single by
Kuhel in his last time at bat In
three of his four previous turns Joe
had chances to do something for his
club, but couldn't get the ball by the
infield. Manush, up six times, got
nothing more than walk and sac
rifice for his efforts. Heinie's most
vigorous drive was soft bounce to
the first baseman.
Jack Stone got into the game late,
when Cronin figured 1t well to bolster
his right-field defense, and Stone
proved even worse than his left-hand
mates at bat. They managed to meet
the ball, anyway. Stone did nothing
more than watch third strike go by
in two successive trips to the plate,
and the second time up he had a
chance to stow away the game, for
Bluege was on second base and Cronin
on first in the twelfth with only one
out.
The Red Sox scored first. Werber
doubled after one was out In the
fourth, then Morgan tripled- Roy
johnson hit long fly, and two runs
were over. The Nationals countered
in the sixth Cronin singled with one
out and took second on wild pitch,
only to be run down when Harris
rolled to the shortstop. Harris made
second during the play and tailed
when Schultz doubled. Kress' single
sent Schultz in with the tie.
Looked as though the Red Sox
would break the deadlock in the sew
enth, when their first two batters
singled. but so effective was Russell
that Porter. the first Of the hitters,
never got beyond second base.
Evening star., 1934-06-09
Looked Bad in Tenth.

II OOKED bad for the Nationals IN
the tenth that Larry opened
with two-bagger. Ostermuel-
Ter twice failed to sacrifice, then
topped a slow one to Russell, and
Larry made third as the batter was
chucked out. Here Cronin ordered
bases. This worked well, for Morgan
grounded to Bluege, and force play
at the plate ensued.
Roy johnson, left-hand swinger
was next up, and he had not been
able to do thing with RuSsells
pitching. But Cronin had the left
handed Burke relieve Russell at this
stage. so Jack left the field under a
storm of applause by the sportsman
like Boston fans.
johnson gave one of Burke's pitches
a terrific belt. but Schultz ran almost
into the next county for great catch,
and the game was saved for time.
The Nationals had a shot at the
game in the eleventh. Schultz walked
with one gone and, after Kress fouled
out, checked in at third when Kuhel
got his lone single of the day.
Ostermueller. who when he wasn't
very good was very wild, issued his
sixth pass of the game to Phillips,
and the sacks were jammed. Berg
was sent up to swing for Burke, and
a long fly to Reynolds resulted.
That gave Al Crowder a chance to
pitch, and he took the trimming in
the twelfth. It was Ostermueller who
opened this round with q looping
single to short left. For some un-
known reason Manush was playing In
the depths of left field for this weak
left-hand hitter and never had a
chance to come in for a catch. Cis-
sell promptly sacrificed. Werber's
roller to Crowder moved Ostermueller
to third. Morgan rifled single
through the box, and 1t was over.

RUSSELL SUCCESS
AS AB0X STARTER
But Right Hand Hitters Fail
Against SouthpaW as Sox
Cop in 18th, SO.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

n OSTON, June 9.-Joe
* Cronin, manager of
Washington's hold over
~ base ball champions, was
in an experimental mood when
his outfit reached this town for
its three-game series with the
Red Sox and not much good
came of it.
Looking only to the result of the
opening game of the set, no good came
of the experimental mood, for the
Nationals were spanked, to 2, in
tusSle that went into the twelfth
round. Yet in defeat the club discov-
cred it had talented starting pitcher
in Jack Russell, lanky right-hander
heretofore employed only in relief
roles
For the umpteenth time Pilot Cro-
min experimental with the batting
order, and the last-minute-deviseda af-
fair proved no more successful than
the many others put forth since the
young leader began juggling his hit
ters in an effort to get his team out
Of the doldrums.
But this Russell now. That was
some experiment. Only once before
had he gone as many as six and one
third innings this season. Yet yes
terday Russell started a game for the
first time in the campaign and looked
far better than some of Cronin's
regular-turn artists as he toiled down
into the tenth inning before the man
ager deemed the situation critical
enough to demand a change in
pitchers.

outside the fourth round, in
~ which the Red Sox did all the
scoring at his expense. Russell
was in fine fettle. Particularly so
when there were Red Sox on the
runway-and that was frequently the
case. The Nationals could well afford
to make frequent use of Russell as
starter from now on. That's how
good he looked
However, this fine feat was wasted.
for the Nationals were up against the
left-handed Fritz Ostermueller, and
Fritz was as much of puzzle yester-
day as when he subdued the same
club in Washington last Sunday.
More so. perhaps, for then the Ma
tionalS got eight hits and two runs
eff Fritz in nine rounds. This time
they needed a dozen to get as much.
Cronin tried to get break for his
club by casting out all but two Of his
left-hand swingers - Heinie Manush
and Joe Kuhel. Between these he
placed four right-hand batters. The
shake-up brought about the temporary
benching of Cecil Travis and Buddy
Myer and the employment in their
places of Ossie Bluege and Red Kress.

OStermueller, who cost SIS, 900. has

Bob Grove and while he has absorbed
his share of beatings his record has
been good. Fritz was promoted to a
starters job just in time to drop an
thinning 6-5 decision to Cleve-
land May IL. Then he lost four more
games without being hit hard, but
came back to take two games from
washingtons Senators with good
performances.
Following up last Sundays TO
triumph, Ostermueller limited the
Senators to eight hits in a l2-inning
battle yesterday and finally won out,
3 to 2. by scoring the winning run
himself. He nicked Al Crowder for
a single and went around on a sacri-
fce, an infield out and Eddie
Morgan's base hit. The result put
the Sox and Senator'S into a tie for
fifth place

cision over the Athletics to remain
only a game behind. Babe Ruth was
struck on the wrist by the first pitch
from Mort F1ohr, the AS rookie
southpaw from Duke University, and
suffered painful bruise.
After a day in fourth place, the.
Cardinals returned to second in the
National League standing by batting
their former nemesis, Larry French,

feating Pittsburgh to 2 behind Tex

Cincinnati's lowly Reds showed the
Cubs down behind St. Louis by
taking 4-to-3 decision when they
landed on Bill Lee for three hits and
as many runs in the sixth. With
Curt Davis hurting six-hit ball for
his second victory over the world
champions within a week, the Phillies
helped keep the race close by turning
back the first-place Giants, 3 to 2.
