the genius of the late Tex Richard
could be invoked to handle the
promotion.
George Moriarity put Fred Sing
ton out of the ball game as the
climax to a general jaWing match
in which Sington didn't even utter
word. Moriarty picked on him,
perhaps, because Freddie is the
biggest man on the Washington
bench, but probably because
Bucky Harris shouted from the
cover of the dugout:
"Why don't you pick guy
your own Size?"
Sington, big, silent guy who
always laughs, stormed into your
agents room to borrow book Of
synonyms. He is going to be pre-
pared if he encounters Moriarty
this afternoon.
The ruction started in the Sec
ond inning, when the Washington
players thought little Joe Sullivan
had missed tagging first base on
/ Greenberg's throw Of Travis
grounder. They started a chorus
of:
"NO! Missed the bag"
BELLOWS FOR SILENCE
Moriarty objected to any sort
of comment on his decisions and
beloved an order for silence.
Bucky Harris jumped up and told
his jumps to hire a hall, which
drew whitening blast in return.
Finally, Harris told Moriarty to
pick a man his own size, and the
man in blue forthwith put Sing.
ton off the field.
Now, here is where your inquir-
ing reporter steps in and wonders
whether Moriarty and Sington
wouldn't get some customers in to
see Baer and Braddock battle. It
would be a great scrap. for, while
the umpire has all the better Of
things so far as experience is con-
cerned, Sington is big. husky
cove, who made reputation for
himself as football player.
Going back to the lore, Moriarity
had an historic fight with Ed Bar.
row years and years ago. when the
present business manager of the
Yankees was with the Detroit
Tigers. Old timers talk about that
scrap. Moriarity had a couple Of
goes with Cobb in which the
Georgian ran bad second. Just
a little while ago, the jumps tried
to lick the Chicago Whitesox in O
group. He ran a disastrous sec.

MERELY LAUGHED
SingtOn, who merely laughed,
was banished.
He went out today and bought

When saw him he was up to

1t was really good thing there
was a fight, and the budding Of
another beautiful hatred, for truth
to tell, the game was a washout
from Washington standpoint.
Bump Hadley started and ran
smack into his second Consecutive
defeat. He was knocked out Of
the box with one out in the sew
enth inning and six of the runs
scored by the Tigers are charged
to him. Hadley allowed only five
hits, but he walked seven men.
Hadley has yet to finish the
same game he started, and this
was his fifth effort. Petit was
not exactly a glowing success as
relief pitcher, but the turn Of
the game had been reached before
the Chattanooga veteran attempt
ed to turn the tide.
Sullivan Pitches Well
Little Joe Sullivan, the left
handler. pitched we'll for the Tigers
but tired in the ninth.
He was nicked for home run
in the second, Cliff Bolton clearing
the wall with smash to right
field. In the sixth. Hadley doubled
and Manush singled him home.
Sullivan has pitched four com.
plere games, which equals the
record of our entire staff.
The break of the game so far
as the Griffs were concerned came
in the seventh inning when with
Bolton on third base. Hadley
socked one toward center which
Rogell fielded with one hand. II
that ball had gone through IL
might have been different ball
game.
