In witness, whereof, we offer
Hal Schumacher, whose hitting
for the Giants this year, has far
surpassed his work in the box.
He failed % survive the eighth
inning against the Phils yester.
day, but before that time his
two homerS had accounted for
five runs which, with q couple
Of homers by Mel OFT, gave the
Giants an easy II to z verdict
over the Phils.
Out in Chicago, they are ask
ing when the Cubs are going to
lose one but down in Philadel-
phia the fans are wondering If
the Phils will ever win q game.
This has been a queer sea IN
to date. Hardly q day goes by
without game or two being de-
cided by a homer
Homer Decides
There was very little hitting
by the Yanks and Athletics yes:
terday-each team getting only
four hits-but one Of these was
a homer by Frank Crosetti and
that wallop was sufficient to give
Red Ruffing a to 0 decision
over Johnny Marcum. Here
again we have a sample Of
pitchers who can hit. Ruffing
for years has been good enough
to be used as a pinch-hitter and
Young Marcum got two Of his
teams four blows, but he couldn't t
win it single-handed.
The Pirate Cardinal fracaS also
was decided on a homer when
Freddy Lindstrom hit one with
two aboard in the ninth to give
his team a 5 to 4 win before
the home folks in Pittsburgh.
The Cubs kept right on their
merry way at the expense Of the
Reds. Dazzy Vance who, Bob
O'Farrell in an optimistic moment
said would win 20 games for him
this year, was knocked out Of the
box in the first inning when the
Cubs scored all their runs off the
one-time dazZler.
Bush went the route to win, 3
to 2. It was the second time
Vance has been showered in two
starts.
Fred Marberry turned in an
other smooth victory for the
Tigers over the White Sox. z to 8.
The Dodgers fell before the
Braves, 5 to 8, Wally Berger hit
ting one for the circuit and Bump
Hadley Of the Browns got his
bumps from the Indians, is to 2.
Walter JohnSn's hired hands made
10 hits, including two homers by
Trosky.

His fighting chin set squarely,
his eyes flashing, and his words
rasping, Manager Joe Cronin,
youthful manager of the Griffmen,
went out on the limb about his
bah club in decided fashion today,
following the orgy Of yesterday
at Griffith Stadium where the
Griffs were whitewashed at the
hands Of the Boston Red sox be.
fore President Roosevelt and some
.25, 900 fans.
His words were to the effect
that important changes were to
be effected in his lineup before
the week has ended, unless his
"boys" show q decided turn for
the better in their play.
RACES in Clubhouse
He made this threat in the
clubhouse after yesterdays game,
when memories Of the heated spec
tacle were still vivid in his mind,
particularly the pitching and hit
ting parts which found the GriffS
practically mill in comparison with
the brand Of play put up by the
Red Sox.
He said:
"You can bet your sweet life
our poor play isn't going to be
tolerated much longer, as ], for
one, am not built that way.
Maybe o shake-up in the lineup
might help. Maybe the several
utility men on the bench might
play q little better than the
regulars, IL only given q chance
to perform. Maybe I'll give 'em
q chance!"
Yet it is hard to believe how
any better players could be put
in a lineup than Buddy Myer,
Joe Kuhel. OSsie Bluege, Heine
Manush, Johnny Stone ct al.
Shake-up Sometimes Helps
Still, it is to be remembered that
ofttimeS sudden shake-ups, even
though temporary, have worked
wonders with big league teams in
the depths Of rutS.
OF course, Cronin may have
reached a calmer and more col
lected attitude by the hour his
men have taken the field for to-
days second game Of the current
series with the Boston Red Sox.
II such changes as Cronin talks
Of occur Dave Harris, Gus DugaS,
Bob Boken, Cecil Travis, Johnny
Kerr and Elmer Klumpp are avail
able.
Now, as to pitching, the boys
still seem to be that week or so"
away from their best form.
Cronin announced that Prof.
Monte Weaver would be his start
ing hurler today. Who would
come after Monte he didn't know.
The Griffs, incidentally, were
held to five hits by Johnny WEIGH,
young Sox right-hander, yester-
day.
