Harris has the whip cracking
over his Nationals and the
first to feel the lash is AL
Powell. sensational rookie who came
up to the club from the Washington
sandlots by way of Albany and other
minor points.
That the manager will not tolerate
the play-boy spirit in any OF his
charges was indicated today by his
substitution of Fred Schultz. veteran,
for Powell in center field as Nationals
and Cubs began two-game series.
Harris after the game. not only
expressed disapproval of Powell's gem
eral attitude toward the club, but also
said his lineup for the start OF the
championship campaign little more
than a week away has not been def
nitely determined. Powells play has
declined to such an extent that
Schultz likely is to retain the center
field post
There we're intimations at club
headquarters, too, that a change soon
might be made at shortstop, where
Lyn Larry, brilliant infielder. obtained
from the Red Sox in the history
making s250,0O0 deal last Fall, has
been holding forth.
While Larry has been performing
we'll in recent games, those in charge
are commenting unfavorably on his
indifferent regard Of club training
rules. One high in authority went so
far as to say that unless Larry quickly
will be playing shortstop."

Harris had heart to heart talks
with both players and both assured
him they would abide by the rules

did not mention how stern he had
been with his Indifferent charges,
but undoubtedly he let them know
who is bossing the club.

These two newcomers to the Ma

that these two will not be bunkies

Powell, like his roommate Larry,
has ruf1ed the clubs authorities by
his failure to observe the few train

obey. They have been exceptionally
patient with this product of the
Washington sandlots, who got his first
start In the professional game with
the Nationals five years ago. Every
thing has been done to build him UP

HIcAGo. April e.-Unable to

been 30 difficult to gain, the

In 3-to-2 struggle today after fore
ing play to the eleventh inning.
In their first tilt with a major league
foe since the Indians were met at the
Biloxi training camp on March 20, the
Harris hands went great guns for six
innings. Then their pitching wilted
and in the eleventh the Cubs put over
the decisive tally without having
one put out.
1t was Walter Stewart, southpaw,
making his season debut, who took
the beating after pitching to only four
batters in the eleventh. Fred Lind
strom, first up for the Cubs, singled
Kiki Cuyler bunted. nobody covered
first and Cliff Bolton fired the ball
to second. It got there too late to do
any good for the Nationals. Phil Cav
arretta, a rookie, bunted and Cecil
Travis never attempted a play. He
had no chance to make one. The
bases were full.
Gabby Hartnett picked this spot for
his third hit Of the game 1t was a
slashing blow to right and the tussle
