burg, was ready S&s* AAaAA &S$8s'%sSSsa
to pitch yester- Frank BUCK O'Nein
day if called upon. He warmed
up in the right field bullpen, but
did not see action.
Bucky Harris is studying the
records of all youngsters on the
Washington farm properties. Pres
ent indications are that during
the September campaign every
boy who has shown sufficient
ability to warrant first.hand in
spection, will be called to Griffith
Stadium. Buddy Lewis, of Chat
tanooga, and Cubic Estalella, of
Harrisburg, two young infielders,
are likely to show their wares To-
cally.
While Miles is serving his ap.
premiership on the local lot Har-
ris will alternate with Rocky
Stone and Heinie Manush in left
field. This program does not even
infer that Manush or Stone has
been denoted from the status of
regular player. But the stern bust
ness of baseball being what it is,
Harris must prepare himself for
future years.
Beset With Woes
Harris is beset with many woes.
jake Powell probably will not be
permitted to face the Browns this
afternoon. He had a recurrence
yesterday of the impingement Of
the Sciatic nerve, which rendered
him hors du combat in Cleveland
on the last trip. Powell was forced
out of yesterdays game after tax.
ing his turn at bat in the fourth
inning.
These periodic seizures threaten
the security of Powell as a center
fielder. Needless to say the fear
of losing Powell doth murder
sleep for Harris in this summer
of his discomfort. While Powell
is out of the lineup, his place will
be taken by Schultz, who is a.
streak ball player. On the West.
ern trip Schultz was a whirlwind
at the bat, and not at all bad in
the field.
And while we are on the subject
of ills and woes, it is timely to
note that Leon Petit. the bull pen
minute man, contends that his
back is sore. Examination by the
club physician failed to discover
the exact cause of Pettit's woe
and grief, but the fact remains
that the southpaw turned in a
lugubrious report to Bucky Harris.
He contended that whether or not
the saw bones could locate the
source of his pains, he had them.
In previous years and in other
leagues Petit had this same sort
of intermittent pain.
With men dropping on all sides
and from many causes. it is a. re.
lief to report that Buck Newsom,
the big highlander, will rush
right back into action this after
noon against the Browns. And
are they going to be soft? Well.
just ask Buck about that. Maybe
you know the answer without CO.
ing to the trouble of asking him.
Linke Loses Tough One
There must be a direful agent
of woe working against the GrlttS
in close ball games. Eddie Llnke
yesterday pitched the hest game
he has shown since joining the
GriffS, and the best he got was a.
beating by a score of 2 to l. Let's.
be fair with Eddie and just say
that the score of the game was 2
to !, for he wasn't beaten at all.
He pitched a winning ball game.
Earl Whitehill made his best
showing in a game that was lost
by a score of 2 to /.
The writer has always con-
tended that provision should be
made in the official records for
games that are lost through no
fault of a pitcher, but of course it
is admitted that you can't do this
thing, however fair it would be.
Aside from the records, Sam
Holbrook wears the Angora horns
today and he looks ruefully at
the score of the pastime. Sam
made a wild throw-which the
best of catcherS will make at times
and it set the stage for Tiger
run. Then Sam was caught off
second base after Bluege had
hunted him down there safely.
Sam overran the bag after beat
ing Crowder's throI.
In the second inning he might
have knocked down Gehringer
and broken up a double play. If :
he had, run would have scored.
1t is all very distressing and quite
battling.
The Tigers got one good run
off Linke, and that was the win
ming run. Foxx singled in the
eighth and Cochrane hunted him
20 second. Gehringer, who was
grape all day, famed, but not
Hank Greenberg. He singled, and
the blow won the game. One way
and another Greenberg Is quite a
