Both Hurt in Foot,

TYER had the instep of his left
.V foot well lacerated when he
covered first to take a throw
as Frankie Pytlak was beating out a
bunt. Jack Russell had his right
ankle cut when it was stepped on by
Cecil Travis as the two were after a
roller off Willie Kamm's bat.
Travis did not get hurt, but he hurt
his ball club more than enough by
the poorest exhibition of third -basing
seen around a Washington outfit in
many seasons. 1t was the worst since
the playing done by one Miller In the
world series of 1924.
But for the injury to Myer, the
veteran OSSie Bluege would have been
sent back to third today. He was to
fill in at second, however, with Travis
remaining at the far corner, Red
Kress was used yesterday after Myer
went out. But the newest National
was no bargain. Although not
charged with an error, he messed up
couple of plays so that Manager
Cronin decided Bluege had better
handle the situation

For all that Terry talks about the
value of a solid base hit as good
strategy. however. he clings to the
conviction that pitching will decide
whether the Giants keep the cham
pionship or yield to the challenge of
one of the three Western clubs that
cuffed the New Workers around and
knocked them of their high horse.
IF we can just stick fairly close to
the pace until Parmalee gets back. in
July, I think we will have the stuff
to beat them all down the stretch" :"
said Terry.
I'VE know those Western clubs are
tough, but we may be just a Bit
tougher IN the clinches.
Because of their pitching. the
Cardinals may give us a stronger
fight than either the Cubs or Pirates.

there's no use kidding ourselves that
we can win as many low-score games
with this jack-rabbit ball as we did
last year. or that cur pitching de-
fense is going to be as good as we
need, until Parmalee returns. For
that reason I have shifted the lineup
to get more batting punch. O'Doul

snap out of his slump in time TO de-
liver his former driving power.

Trade Is Tough Break.

NDD how everything goes against
~ the Nationals these days. Only
last Saturday they traded Bob
Boken to the White Sox for Kress
because first base protection in the
event OF injury to Joe Kuhel was
desired. Right away the regular Sec
ond sacker gets hurt. And if there
is anything Boken can do we'll on
ball field, it is to play second base.
He is really good at that position.
Bluege perhaps will make a go of it
at the middle station. He has played
there before, but not often. A few
seasons back, he took care of the posi-
tion in several games and looked good.
Better than average for he is a
natural infielder. AS the situation is
now, Ossie will have to get along at
second.
Opinion varies as to how long Myer
will be out of action. His instep was
badly gouged by Pytlak's spikes in the
purely accidental affair. Trainer Mike
Martin thinks that Buddy might pos
sibly be ready to play again in an
other two weeks. But Manager Cronin
and Myer himself are not so opti-

will heal sufficiently to permit the sec
ond baseman's return to the game
within the next three weeks.
Maybe Last for Tour.
TT CERTAINLY does not appear
that Myer will be of any service
at all to his club during the re-
mainder of this tour. 1t was to be
determined today whether Myer would
be sent back to Washington for treat
ment Of the injury.
Both Russell and Thomas may be
ready to pitch again in another week,
although it might be that Russell will
be out longer. 1t was a mean slash he
took across the top of his ankle when
Travis. scrambling for a ball he had
fumbled, landed hard with his No.
10 foot. Russell's ankle was quite sore
today and he was ordered to rest it
as much as possible.
Thomas was complaining of soreness
In his chest when he arrived here yes
terday and it was feared the blow in
fiicted last Saturday might have
cracked a rib. After the ball game,
the pitcher was examined by DR.. M.
H. Castle, Cleveland physician. An
X-ray revealed no fracture. but con-
siderable hemmorhage. Thomas was
ordered to submit to heat treatments
and to rest until the bruise is dis
sipated
To make the pitching situation
trif1e worse, Alec McColl. who came
back from the Chattanooga club,
where he had been pitching the sore
ness out of his doctored arm, was
rushed to the hill for relief turn and
failed to reveal anything worthwhile.
He was all but flattened by the wild
Indians in his term of less than two
innings. That aged arm will have to

Make Game Early Fight.

Make Game Early Fight.
TN THE first half of the game, the
Nationals put up a great fight
and 1t looked as though they
might open their first Western swing
with q victory. They went after
Monte Pearson gamely and rolled up
runs in the second and third in
nings. Cronin's single, Schulte's
triple and Travis fly accounted for
two in the second. Earl Whitehill
opened the third with a scratch
single and after two were out rode
home on a circuit clout driven inside
the park by Manush.
But in their third turn the Tribe
fell upon Whitehill with everything
they had to get four hits and tie.
Myer kicked in with an error to help
the home cause. Porter opened with
a real single, Knickerbocker's drive at
Travis took a bad bound to become a
nit, and Averills one-baser smash by
Kuhel meant a run. Myer fumbled
Vosmik's smash and another Indian
registered at the final base. After
Hale forced out Vosmik, a third run
was showed over by Trosky's single.
Hale took third on this hit and scam
pered home when Pytlak drilled into
force play.
In the fifth, Pearson's last inning
on the hill, the Nationals went ahead
again, thanks mainly to two Tribal
errors. Kuhel singled and got another
base when Averill cuffed the ball
about. After Myer rolled out, Hale
booted Manush's bounder and Kuhel
Tailed. Cronin rifled a triple to left
center for another run.

I their worst of the season, the
~ Nationals we're to go back at
the Indians today using Wal
ter Stewart, the one pitcher that beat
Walter Johnson's band when 1t was

If Stewart could not make the
grade, the champs were likely to be
in a sad fix. Their pitching staff is
that way.
Whitehill Russell, McColl and
Burke took 17-hit humping here
yesterday with Whitehill getting
licked before the fifth inning was fin
ished. 1t was In this inning that
Myer and Russell were spiked out Of
commission, but the injuries to these
players did not lose the ball game.
1t was the hitting done by the
Tribe in the fifth round with pair
of errors by Travis chucked in that
brought about the defeat. The In
dians spread it on thicker later, but
the damage had been done.

D. {. TAX CUT

Possibility that an attempt may
be made to amend the District
appropriations bill so as to keep
the property tax rate at $3.50
loomed today.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, who sits with
the Senate subcommittee on the
District appropriations bill, said
today he may seek to have the
Senate amend the bill in that re-
spect if the House votes the re-
duction to $1.20, as has been
recommended by the House APP
preparation Committee.
The Utah Senator asserted he
has not as yet had an opportunity
to give the matter full study, but
that his first impression is that
since the District is now in need
of funds for schools and other
projects, it would be unwise to re-
duce the existing rate at present.
He will give the proposition
further study however, he said.

The change was not unexpected
Mr.. Davis has been rather severely
criticized for his handling Of Ger

and a new problem involving loss
of the Blue Eagle now effects the
Hartman Hosiery Mills at Harri

Although the mills own records
are said to show that it has re
fused to deal with its employees
under section 7(a) of the recovery
act, and although President Roose
velt instructed the administrator
to take the eagle away, nothing
has been done about it as yet.
A new drive for general code
compliance is impending, and
Charles F. Horner, who put over
the original Blue Eagle drive, is
on hand to put over the drive
for the Code Eagle.
Meanwhile, Clarence Darrow
is quoted, after two months ex.
perience, as having been con
vinced that the "big fellows" are
bossing the code authorities and
have put up prices sky-high-or
at least as high as they can.
Mr.. Darrow said that com
plants have been received about
