Yankees Lead Clipped.

THE Cleveland Indians cut the
Yankees American League lead
to eight games by nosing out the Red
Sox, 6-5. while the Yanks were bowling
to AL Thomas and the st. Louis
Browns, 5-4. The Browns win enabled
them to come out Of the American
League cellar for the first time this
season.
The Chicago White Sox, opening at
home after a highly-successful road
trip, had their eight-game winning
streak snapped as the Senators came
through. SIS. The Tigers moved back
into third place and dropped the skid
ding Athletics into the celler by taking
a double-header decision. They won
the opener, 80. behind Tommy
Bridges seven-hit pitching, and gained
a 9-8 edge in the night cap with q
two-run rally in the eighth.

Lauds Di Maggie, Lazzeri.

HAT Di Maggie has not hurt the
Yankee chances any. He can
play ball for my money any time And
Tony LazZeri is a marvel For the
last half dozen Springs Tony has been
consigned to the bench-all washed
up. Then you found him out there
when the season opened and still there
when it finished, playing a steady
brand of ball.
The Yankees are strong in every
position. Dickey is a brilliant catcher;
Crosetti has become a fine shortstop,
although believe he is showing fatigue
right now. and Rolfe is a cracker jack
third baseman. You may say New
York's pitching is not consistent. but
have you analyzed it over the season?
Gomez has not been winning, but
Malone has done fine work and some
hurler always is coming up with a
well-pitched game when it's needed.
Except for the pitching, this is about as
good Yankee team as ever saw.
Cleveland is playing nice ball right
now. The Indians picked up a likely
looking outfielder in this kid Weather.
ly. He's real tough at the plate and
can get around the outfield. Should
become a very fine player O'Neill's
getting pitching, and there are a lot
of fellows on the team who should be
good pitchers. And those White Sox
are hot; getting lot of hitting.
Evades Discussing Own Club.
WHAT about your own club?" Har-
ris was asked
I'VE win and we lose. but have you
noticed Ossie Bluege's work this
Summer? The old boys doing his
fourteenth season in the American
League and he's still great man to
have around I recall when he joined
Washington in 1928 Gee. he was a
grand-looking shortstop. Then We got
Roger Peckinpaugh and Ossie moved
over to third, where he became one Of
the best. This season I've used him
at second and he has done fine work.
Bluege's play always has been UNDER
estimated, but 1 rate him as one Of
the real stars of his day.
You asked about Buddy Lewis. I
think he will develop into a great
player. He's little tagged now, but
you must remember he still is i'm
mature-only 19 years old. That's
rather kittenish to be playing in the
majors. When he fills out he'll be
quite hitter.
"Yes, it would be real nice il the
games. That would give us a race
down September. The next couple of
weeks will answer a lot of questions

Is Big Part of Trade.
WHEN Clark Griffith's 1886 trading


WHEN Clark Grifith's 1886 trading
w activities are revealed you are
apt to hear somebody mention Ben
Chapman right of the bat. If 1t isn't
Chapman. then the name is almost
certain to be Jimmy De Shong. Even
Joe Cascarella is likely to come to
mind more quickly than Jesse Hill.
The Old Fox has made many
a swap far less important than
that which he swung with the
Yankees to get Hill.
Jesse enjoyed a brief moment Of
attention from Capital fans last
Spring. Sent to Washington along
with De Shong in exchange for Bump
Hadley and Outfielder Roy johnson,
the fleet-footed Californian was nomi-
mated by Bucky Harris to do the left
fielding. At the time, Stone was a
right-field candidate.
Hill, however, literally was
left at the post when the Amer
fcan League race got under way.
During the first week Of the season
he batted less than 200. He picked
up during the next week but his
average still was under 800 and Stone
stepped into the picture and gave all
evidences of just what is happening
now-having his biggest year.
Holds Consecutive Game Mark.
Jesse sat on the bench then, and
the fans who never really got
chance to know him rapidly forgot
him. And he still is the Nationals
forgotten man." in spite of what
paradoxically has been a sensational
and yet subtle comeback.
How subtle it has been might be
answered by the question what
Washington player has compiled the
longest consecutive game hitting
streak?" You scratch your head and
the last Griffman you suspect would
be Hill.
Yet today he holds the record
at 20 straight games, exclud-
ing few pinch hitting appear
ances.
Harris uses Hill in left when the op-
position sends a southpaw pitcher to
the box. In these games In which
Jesse has been playing since his demo.
ton early in May, Hill has batted at

jority of diamond fans are average
scourers" and Stone is not suffering
from fear his 1886 record will hurt
his standing.
No, unless there Is . 1887
Simmons, or a similar species on
hand, there Is no replacing
Stone.
But while Johnny is staging his
big year, another player on the Ma
tionals is not able to help his status
as he might have been doing. The
reference is to Jesse Terrill Hill. who
is by way of representing the Wash
ington clubs truly forgotten man.

featherweight title here tonight in a

Baby Manuel of Cuba.
The 28-year-old Birmingham Syrian,
who rose from the sidewalks of the

defense of his title in Texas first

In 1898 carpenters had virtually

SARRON pits his busy body tactics,
which won him the title from

southpaw who shoots wicked body
punches from close range. The cham

Manuel since has developed a sharp
abdomen punch which has made him
a Texas favorite. Sarron, dependent
upon his bounding, failing tactics for
points. has shown hard right cross

dicted q knockout before the twelfth

pense of right-handed pitching.
The right -ha nded Hill, on the
other hand, is known as a guy
who plays only when southpaws
are pitching against the Griffs.
It's great break for the Washing
ton ball club to be able to play Hill
and Stone and, thereby play the per-
centage that goes with right-handed
hitters facing southpaws and vice
versa. Yet there is note of injus-
tice to it.

Jimmy Still Needs Rest.

DACK to De Shong, however, and the
~ problem really becomes compl-
Gated. AS far back as late June, when
Jimmy still was winning to run MS
total of victories to a dozen. 1t was Sus-
pected that what he needed was less
work and more rest. When he began
to lose. Bucky became convinced this
was the trouble and took steps to give
De Shong more rest, even at the pos
sible cost of losing game here ana
there.
So far it hasn't worked. Before he
started yesterdays game De Shons
had six days of rest, except for brief
relief pitching stint. Going back stlll
farther, Jimmy had pitched only 10 Is
innings in 10 days before opposing the
Sox here.
Yet. Notwithstanding all this vaca-
tionine. he lasted only three innings
before he was led away in favor OF
Cascarella. whose performance helped
to make Harris forget the disappoint-
ment that Joseph had been recently as
a starter.

GETS NO RESULTS
FROM REST CURE
CascareIIa and Reynolds
Again Put Club Back in
Winning Stride.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.


~HICAGO, July a. Manager
Bucky Harris awoke today
with the buoying suspicion
~ that his Nationals still are
very much a winning road club and
with a not so pleasant idea that James
Brooklyn De Shong, his star pitcher
is not doing so well.
Striking a singular parallel to their
last Western trip, the Griffs got on TO
A great start yesterday by swapping the
eight game winning streak OF the
White Sox in a 6-to-5 affair. During
the course of the victory the ears OF
young Mr.. De Shong were pinned back
with a deal of decisiveness. and mas
much as it was the third straight time
that Jimmy was blasted from the box,
the thing presented its blacker aspects.
The similarity Of the start OF the
current tour with that ultra-successfui
expedition last month was found In
the fact that Joe Cascarella won the
game with a great relief pitching JOB
and that Carl Reynolds helped him
turn the trick with home run.
The last trip, which landed the
Griffs on the brink of second place,
started In Detroit and by a one-run
victory. On that day Cascarella won
his only other game Of the year, ana
in a relief role. and Mr.. Reynoios
slugged home run.
