.EARL, FREELY HIT,
TOPPLES BROWNS
Win Is l4th Of Season for
Lefty-RuSselI Loser in
Thinning Fight.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
Staff Correspondent Of The Star.

= T. LOUIS, September 8.-Tail-
spinning from the pinnacle to
- the depths of sixth place in
one dolorous season is a Bit
ter dose for the Nationals to swallow.
but they may we'll be thankful to
Earl Whitchill the medicine isn't even
worse.
For long time it seemed as though
Earl was destined to take place among
Washington's other failures of 1884.
If he had, then the Nationals easily
might have duplicated the dubious
feat Of the Athletics of 1915 in finish
Ing dead last after winning the PEN
nant the year before.
But Whitehill, off to a dreary start
that might have caused many a less
courageous pitcher to dog it out
in the parlance of the ringworms-
kept fighting Today he not only
easily ranks as the ace of the Griff
curving corps, but actually is headed
for the third best season of his long
major league career
When he allowed the Browns to hit
often, but not when the bingles meant
runs yesterday and chalked UP a
7-to-4 victory, Earl gained his four
teenth triumph as against 10 defeats.
this is a pace of .583 and only twice
before in his 10-year career in the
American League has Earl bettered
this gait.

Bejma, threw base hit to Burns and
then another to Mrs. Peppers big

All of the Nationals big sticking
ceased from the ninth inning on
because Buck Newsom relieved CofT-
man. and Buck is something on the
order of Mr.. Pepper to the Griffs.
He breezed through four innings and
gave up only a walk.
In the first tilt the Washingtons
punched their IL blows to win in a
walk. Had it not been for Cliff and
Bejma, who slapped out seven hits
between 'em, it would have been no
contest. 1t was one-sided enough as
it was, with Manush getting three
safeties and Harris and Bolton two
each.

RECONSTRUCTION OF Ine
- Washington ball club has be-
gun. AS his first move in
the making-over of his
cracked-up champions, Clark Grittlth
has bought off the Albany club pair
of outfieldcrs and picked up from the
Chattanooga farm three pitchers
a catcher and an infielder. The en-
tire lot is to report at training camp
next Spring.
This morning the Washington club
president announced the purchase
from Albany of AL Powell, outfelder.
The deal was closed within a dozen
hours after others that transferred
from the International League outf1t
Fred Sington, also an outfelder, and
from the Lookouts of the Southern
Association Pitchers Orville Arm
br,1st. Leon Petit and Sammy
Cohen: Catcher Sam Holbrook and
Second Baseman John Mihalic.
According to Griffith, the acquisi-
ton of Powell and Sington, who are
regarded as among the best OF out

will mean a considerable outlay OF
money by the Washington ball CLUB

property of the washington ball

1t is rumored that Dave Harris.

Phillips. catcher. now with the Ma

The transfer of the five players from
the Chattanooga farm may mean ut
tie more than book transaction.
Cohen, however, became Lookout
Just in time to make the deal that
way. Until recently. title to him was
held by Minneapolis. The Millers
turned over $4,000 and the rights to
Cohen to Chattanooga for Johnny
Gill, outhelder.
Both Powell and Sington have been
around the Nationals before. Powell,
a product of the Washington sandlots,
was signed and taken to the Biloxi
training camp in $780, when he was
about % years old. but was shipped
before the championship season got
under way. Sington was sent up by
Albany for trial last Spring, only to
be returned quickly.

Fine Record for Earl.


MYTH a pennant- winning club
w last year, Whitehill registered
~ wins as against only 8
losses, and with the ird-place De-
troit outfit in 1924 he won his spurs
as big Lacquer in a large way with
II victories as against 9 lickings.
The club he fairly is carrying now
can in no way approach the Wash
lngtons of 1888 or even the DetroitS of
1924. So Earl's mark this season looks
even better than on paper.
With the possible exception Of Joe
Cronin, the gyrating southpaw takes
a licking harder than any other mem
ber of the Nationals, and the never
say-die spirit Of Whitehill In compiling
IA wins with hodge -podge, seemingly
jinxed club may be appreciated when
1t is considered that not until May 25,
or after seven successive failures, was
Earl able to finish game. Even long
after that he couldn't muster the
stuff" he possessed in 1898.
But he's kept plugging and probably
right now is as good as the hurler who
won % of 80 games a year ago and
whipped the Giants IN the world series.
Stewart Gets Poor Break.
TN SPITE of the II safeties the
Browns collected yesterday in
bowling to Earl in the first game
OF a doubleheader, Whitehill simply
was too much. Before No IA he whip
ped the Yankees in handy fashion. In
fact, in the last six games Whitehill
has started and which went to a de-
cision. Earl won five, twice numbering
the Yanks among his victims in addi-
ton to the Browns, the flag conscious
Tigers and third-place Indians.
Whitehill pitched the Griffs to
within swapping distance of the
Browns heels yesterday, but Walter
Stewart got tough break in the sec
ond of the twin bill and Washington
remains today two and half tilts be-
hind the fifth-place st. Louis band
Walter pitched great ball during
his eight-inning term on the hill and
II ever a hurler deserved to win a
game, he did. The Nationals found
Dick Coffman easy to hit, getting IL
hits and walk in Coffman's eight
innings. but only two runs. Ten of
the safeties we're recorded in the first
five innings, when the amazing total
OF nine runners we're left on base.
In the meantime Stewart was let
ting the Browns down with only a
single in the first five innings and six
hits when he was relieved by Russell
IN the ninth. Three of 'em we're
punched in the sixth, though, for one
run, while Rollie Hemsley socked a
homer to lead of the ninth and tie
the score at 2-all.
