Harris Says Little.

lV no warm comment to make
upon the trade. All he says is
"Bean has been tipped of as good
pitcher" The pilot goes no stronger
in his talk of the new National.
In sharp contrast is the way Billy
Evans looks upon the deal that was
made late yesterday. I'm keen for
it," was Evans observation. 1--WE long
have needed a clever left-hand pitcher
to balance the Indians staff, and I'm
confident we have the one in Stewart.
He Is a pitcher that knows how to
pitch and he has world of courage"
you know, he usually beat us
whenever he took the hill. Well, that's
something in our favor getting him"
Stewart was supposed to have pitched
against us today. Right away, we are
glad to have him out of the way. But
seriously, I think he will mean much
to us this season. Perhaps he will be
Just the pitcher to get us over the top" !"
Stewart Is Gratified.
NTEWART himself is more than
- pleased to go to the Cleveland
club. "It's this way" Walter re-
marked. IT firmly believe the Cleve-
land club is going on to champion
ship this season. It has everything to
get the flag. OF course, in way I'm
sorry to leave the Washington club.
I'm q great admirer of Bucky Harris.
I think he Is a marvel in base ball.
But also look upon Walter Johnson
as one Of the finest men one could
work for in the game. am perfectly
satisfied with the exchange"
Bean still has to commit himself
He did go so far as to say that he
thought at the outset Of the season
that nothing could beat the Cleveland
club. But he has no opinion to offer
since his transfer to the Nationals.
As the situation now is Stewart
gets the break. Perhaps Stewart did
not hurt himself at all when he got
himself in the bad graces Of the
powers that be with the washington
club when he baked at accepting terms
offered and became the only real hold
out last Winter.

0LEvELAND. May 15.-Wash-
ington's ball club gets home

stand against invaders with
q pretty good record for the playing
1t has done away from home and the
scent of an off-tone trade trailing its
arrival.
The Nationals will get to their
stamping ground with a fairly good
rating for their first jaunt around
the circuit this year despite what hap
pens to them today if the final game
of the series with the Indians is played
here. They have done we'll enough
against other opposition for that.
But they will get back with the
ownership still endeavoring to explain
satisfactorily why the left-handed-
pitching Walter Stewart was ex-
changed even-up yesterday for the
right-handed Belve Bean of the Cleye-
land club.
1t is not that there is anything
against the right-handed Bean per-
sonally. According to everything that
could be learned from the ownership,
management and personnel of the
Indians, this Bean is a peach of
fellow. However, there are returns yet
to come in commencing his ability
as a big league pitcher.
Sacks Loaded, Yields Homer.
"a CCORDING to. Billy Evans, the
~ big boss of the Cleveland club,
this Bean has not been so hot
this season. In fact, the only time
he got into game in the current
campaign he got in with bases loaded
and Tony Lazzeri of the Yankees hit
a homer.
A couple Of seasons back the In
dians had brought him up from
Kansas City and shipped him to New
Orleans. Bean went pretty good and
was sent on to Toledo. There he won
20 games. But that was in the Amer
tcan Association.
Last year in the American League
campaign Bean performed mainly as
q relief pitcher. He won five games
and lost one. And one of the games
he won was from the Washington
club. Yet that same Washington club
in several instances gave him a
smart iacing when he stepped to the
peak as a relief performer.
The low down on Bean is that he
has a real good curve bah, fair con-
troll, but Is not even so fast as other
pitchers In the circuit who are making
no names for themselves.
