This is down.the-river day for

way to the bushes. Just another
day to you but q tragic one for
many q young ball player.

trades should be made by mid

Yanks, Browns and Red Sox

also have been talking turkey with
Yves Terrell as the piece de re-
Sistance as we say in the gas

It's rather hard to figure just
what the Yanks need or expect
but Joe Mccarthy is one Of those
pessimistic souls who would take

Grove HurIS Well
The date may or may not be
significant, but it's worthy Of
note that George Earnshaw and
Bob Grove suddenly came to life
for the first time yesterday and
showed something to justify all
the dough the White Sox and the
Red Sox paid Connie Mack for
their respective releases.
EarnShaw was never faster as
he set down the Red Sox with
four hits to win 8 to 2 and Grove
who went in for the Red Sox
after Henry johnson got the gate

he had when working under the
Mackian influence but he had
more than enough for the White

Cronin Verdict Waits
Whether Cronin follows this

appears likely as the young

MUST BEAT TRIBE
3 IN 4 TO CLIMB
Down to 500 Mark and Ten
Games From Top After
LaCing by Tigers.
BY JOHN u. KELLER.
stan Correspondent Of The Star.

~LEVELAND, July 12.--
Back to the 500 mark
and 10 full games behind
- the league lead, a pretty
well shot Washington ball club
was to open a four-game set
with the Indians this afternoon.
About all the Nationals have TO look
for In the series is chance to climb
TO fourth place in the American League
race, and to do that they must take
at least three of the four engagements.
Manager Joe Cronin had lined up as
starting pitchers for the set Walter
Stewart and Earl Whitehill, veteran
southpaRs, and Monte Weaver and Al
Thomas, fingers Of orthodox per-
suasion. The going was likely to be
tough for them, however. should the
holdover champions persist fading
toward the finish of game as has
been their habit this season.
1t was this flaw more than ques-
tionable decisions made against them
by the umpires late in yesterdays fray
that brought about l3-to-7 defeat
as they swung into their second in
vasion OF the West this season. Set
back by the Tigers in the early going,
the Nationals gamely recovered to
match their foes at Tall. But In the
eighth round. when the umpires went
fuzzy, the home side kicked back with
six scores.

they've called some very bad
ones but those two yesterday
we're the worst ever Travis
took that throw from Russell, who
had picked up Whites bunt in the

IN each case, the umpire
claimed the runner had not been
tagged If not. no runner in a
game ever has been tagged
Don't get this as umpire batting
1t was apparent even to De-
troit partisans that the runners
had been tagged and the
stands gave MCGOWAN a generous
hoolng when he chased Cronin.

cause 1t was Greenberg who
singled to knocke over two runs in
the big Tiger third that set the
Nationals far back and 1t
was Gehringer who waited until
the eighth to get his only hit, a
single that sent over two tallies

gamely brought about and
JOJo White was no bargain

go on arguing for 72 hours without
running short of angles. This par
ticular all-star game was not a very
good one, but it abounded in angles,
acute, obtuse and silent.
There's the question of what would
have happened If Carl Hubbell and
Melvin Harder had hooked up at the
start of the contest and carried right
through to the end. The polls con-
Quoted by this department in half a
dozen private and public debating
spots indicate a strong belief in the
invincibility of Hubben. The voters,
in 8 cases out Of 10, asserted in
powerful and sometimes violent Ian
guage that Cousin Carl would have
hung a horse collar over the necks
of the American League swingers.
This, of course, is what he did In
his three innings of mound labor.
When Mr.. Hubbell went away
from there the rockets began to
hiss and sputter, and in no time
. at all the American League had
the game in its hip pocket.
Mr.. Hubbell undoubtedly would
have postponed the fireworks for two
or three innings more. A few dis
senters and chronic Giant -haters will
tell you. though, that Foxx. Cronin.

fifth. Cronin doubled and advanced
as Travis rolled out. After Schultz
walked, a wild pitch let Cronin get to
the plate. When Sewell drew pass
following the second retirement, Bluege
was ordered to bat for Crowder. But
the Tiger twirling was turned over to
the right-handed Auker and Bluege
fouled out.
The sixth saw the Nationals pull up
to tie. 1t was a pass to Myer that
opened the two-run rally, Stone
hoisted out, but Manush hit close to
the foul line in left for two bases and
Myer counted. After Cronin walked,
Travis singled to get Manush to the
counting block. Schulte's stroll packed
all points. KreSs. however, rolled to
the shortStop and a double play.
Which left that deadlock the Tigers
cracked with a vengeance in the
eighth.

But that same type of managerial
ability might not work at all with
the Yankee veterans
Bucky Harris has done much bet
ter with the Red Sox than he did
with the Tigers. Bucky, in fact, has
turned in one of the seasons best
jobs. He has kept a ball club, picked
to finish sixth or seventh, up around
third place. Most of his ball players
have been cast-offs.
Harris, as a manager, is an entirely
different type from Cochrane He be-
longs to the colder. logical school. He
can handle older players better than
younger players.
No two men were ever wider apart
in their methods and manners than
John McGraw and Connie Mack.

other by Bill MCGOWAN at the
plate, we're as odorous as well stocked

Yet had those decisions favored the
Nationals the Tigers. as the play went,

ball game.
1t was a free-hitting affair, with
the Tigers getting is safeties and the
Champs II. the home side had
Thomas, Washington starter, out OF
action before the third round was
over. In that inning they piled up six
tallies before Bob Kline managed 10
end 1t. The Nationals drove Luke
Hamlin from the peak In the fourth,
and after Al Crowder had held the
Tigers for an inning Elon Hogsett,
Detroit left-hander, was bounced out.
So Jack Russell and Eden Auker
came on to finish.
Auker went along well after the
Nationals had pulled up to a tie in
the sixth. but Russell broke under
the adverse decisions In the eighth.
