Collapse of Hurting Staff
and Loss of Key Men
Crimps Champs.
BY HERBERT w. BARKER,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

IF IT'S still too early to count
| them entirely out of the
1 running, the Washington
n Senators chances of retain
ing the American League pen
nant nevertheless grows Simmer
and simmer each day.
The partial collapse of what was an
all-star pitching staff year ago and
injuries to keymen, notably Joe Kuhel
and Luke Sewell, have contributed to
the champions poor showing in the
last three weeks
Their third successive setback and
their eleventh defeat in 18 games, an
3-3 trouncing from the New York
Yankees yesterday, left the Senators
in fifth place, eight extremely large
games out of first place. Washington
solved Johnny Broaca's slants to the
extent of y hits, but the Senators
never were really in the ball game
after the third, when Lou Gehrig hit a
home run with the bases filled.
The victory stretched the Yankees
lead over Detroit'S Tigers, who we're
idle, to a game and half. Cleveland
took possession of third place, few
points ahead of the Boston Red Sox,
by blanking the Chicago White Sox.

pitching. Willie Kamms two doubles
and a single featured an Indian at
tack on George Earnshaw which
reached a climax with a six-run drive
in the seventh.

PRINCETON, N. J., Feb. IA.
Princeton's basketball team today
was without a regular center or
effective reserve forward and its
prospective baseball team without
a captain or experienced pitcher
as a result Of the dismissal from
school of Karl Larsen and Jimmy
Samuels by the faculty commit
tee on examinations and stand
ards. The two, both of whom
were seniors, were dropped for
scholastic deficiency.
Larsen was regular center on
the basketball team and was also
captain ELECT of the nine. He has
been regular first baseman and
among the leading hitterS on the
varsity nine for the last two years.
Samuels, a resident of Prince
ton, has been the only effective
substitute at forward on this
years five and was the baseball
teams leading pitcher, although
only a junior, during last season.

DETROIT SEEKS
. LEFTY GOMEZ

Frank Navin read with interest
where Col. Jacob Rupert of the
Yankees had said he would give
a big slice of money if he could
have gotten Grove and Foxx of
the Athletics and Gehringer of
the Tigers.
The statement was resented In
view of the fact that the Boston
club has a salary clash with
Grove, and Connie Mack has
Foxx on his neck for more pay.
To make it interesting Navin
offered to take Gomez off the
Yankee payroll if Colonel Rup-
pert would set a price on his
services. AS Gomez is the out
standing star of the Yankee
mound corps baseball men regard
the offer of Navin as a bit of
sarcasm.

NOTED SCOUT
PRAISES
YOUTH
By GARRETT WATERS


Fans friends and all people
who know Arthur Devlin, star
Georgetown q athlete, 80 years
ago, will tell you he is one Of the
shrewdist personalities in the
realm of baseball.
They realize he's an old timer
and an idealist Of the old school,
but they respect his Judgment on
baseball matters-above all his
happy faculty of knowing q
promising young player when he
sees one.
So 1t wasn't exactly with sur
prise that New York baseball men
pricked their ears the other day
when Arthur began expounding on
an up and coming performer, not
so well known in New York, but
very well known for his athletic
prowess here in dear old Wash
ington.
YOungster Was "BOZie"
The youngster was "Bozie"
Berger.
The New York sports writers
sid:
Berger? Sure, we know who
You mean, Wally Berger OF the
Boston Braves. But, Wally has
been q big Lacquer a long time.
He's an Outfielder, y'knOw."
Devlin quickly reminded his
listeners that they didn't follow
him clearly. His retort:
'FNO, no, no! 1 mean BOzie'
Berger, a Washington lad who
gets a trial with the Cleveland
Indians this spring. He's no kin
to WaIly Berger, but like Wany'
I think he's ball playing fool,
or will be in q couple Of years"
The New York sports writers
asked for more. Whereupon Dev-
lin continued:
''He used to go to Maryland
University, which is on the out
skirts of Washington. Was a
star in both football and base
ball. Went South with the In
lians in 1888, but they farmed
him out to New Orleans"
"He weighs 100 pounds now.
Stands more than six feet and is
the best natural fielder have
seen since frankie FriSch. He'll
hit over 800 for Cleveland this
year and the boys who grOaned
when the Indians peddIed Bill
CiSSelI to the Red SOx will be
taking it all back before the sea-
son is over. Mark my words"
The New York sports writer's
quickly went to work at this juno
ture, scratching their heads to
bring back memories of Berger's
past record as college performer.
Oh yes, they remembered him.
Starred Against Yale
He was the guy who played a
prominent part for Maryland
against Yale a couple Of seasons
ago. Sure, they remembered now.
Also his promising efforts to make
the big league grade with the
Indians last year.
Their rebuttal:
"BeIieve he'll make good at
that, Arthur. Has the makingS
all right. And say, the Indians
have an opening for new talent
in their infield, haven't they?
He may be the man they're look
ing for"
And so it is interesting to learn
that Berger, who could be called
"Washington's PRIDE" is being
talked about by first, Arthur
Devlin, peer of baseball scouts,
and second, by New York sports
writer's who will have their CAB
tests on various and sundry sub
jects.
