The Washington times., 1935-09-10


Frank 'Buck" o'Neulg gell has been
out Of the lineup.
A bunch of the boys were
whooping it up in dining car
and after a while some one started
tossing sugar Jumps. One Of them
hit Rogell squarely on the pupil
of his eye. Well, sir, the fools
that were throwing almost died
laughing at their own humor. The
backfire came yesterday when
Bill was advised to remain out Of
action for at least 48 hours.
It will be known then, the ex-
amining specialists announced,
just how badly injured the eye is,
and how long Rogell will be kept
out of action.
They hope he will be back in a
short while; that the bruised mem"
branes Of Rogell'S eye will soon
heal perfectly. Everyone is sorry
now that some one started throw
ing things, and you can bet the
Tigers hope Rogell will be back
in time for the world series.
Mickey Lauds Rogell
Just so far as the pennant race
is concerned, Rogell's absence will
mean little, but the Tigers couldn't
hope to avenge the world series
defeat of 1884 with him out of the
lineup.
When the Tigers rolled into
town on Saturday night, Mickey
Cochrane discussed the entire
team. He praised Rogell's work
highly, and said he counted heav-
lily on him to win the coming bat
tie with the National League entry.
"Rogell is playing the best ball
OF any shortstop in the American
League" Cochrane said to your
reporter. "He is hitting well and
his fielding goes with his hitting.
He will steady that infleld this
year."
According to the last word re-
ceived from the headquarters OF
the Tigers this morning there was
a new rule absolutely banning the
throwing of everything but the
ball on the field.
The wind and rain came to the
aid Of the Tigers yesterday, or
maybe it would be more in keep.
ing with fact to say that wind and
rain made their victory certain.
The Bang-alls were leading by
score of 5 to 4 when night drop
ped its sable mantle over the play
ing field. Summers called time
after Miles had struck out at what
he thought was a fast ball. Wheth"
er Elon Hogsett, the crafty Chero-
kee actually threw the ball no one
knows.
Bucky Harris rallied and ranted.
hut in about three minutes a
rowdy gale from the northeast
swept the field and the clouds
burst over that certain sector OF
washington. The score reverted
to the last even innings, the
seventh, and the score stood at
5 to 4.
Gamble Too Long
Harris assumed the full RESPONSE
bility for the beating yesterday.
He gamled little too long on
Jack Russell after the Texan had
lost his stuff. In the sixth in
ming the Tigers batted seven men,
scoring two runs on four hits. The
wise thing would have been to
send in a relief pitcher. But Rus
sell was on deck in the seventh,
and Fox's single was followed by
q double by Owen. That won the
ball game.
Roberto Estalella didn't have
much luck at the bat yesterday.
The veteran, Gin-ril Crowder
threw the little fellow a success
sion OF hump back curves. Where.
fore q strike out, foul and a pop
up are written after the Cuban's
name.
Estalella handled himself well
in the field. He had one mighty
tough chance in the field when
Greenberg slashed one to him with
the bases loaded. It was a nasty,
half hopper, but the kid snapped
back and grabbed the ball. Then
