Petit Moaned, Led League,

MOST of the chief complainers of
base ball have been pitchers.
They say that Jim Bagby, who used
to pitch for the Clevehnds, was an
artist at complaining. But Jim won
"a games one season and during the
campaign his more gullible listeners
thought the guys pitching arm was
attached to his body by two frayed
pieces of piano wire.
Washington had a pitcher
couple of years ago who did a
pretty fair Job, too. You re-
member Leon Petit. He was
little left-hander, and not too
young.
Petit had fancy names for his va
rious aches. His teammates called
him Fourth Lumbar Petit" one year
and all he did was to lead the Ameri-
can League relief pitchers.
Not all of the prize complainers,
however, were pitchers. There was.
of course, Catcher Cliff Bolton. He was
perhaps the most mysterious of ALL
Cliff had the appearance of a wrestler
an extremely healthy wrestler, too
But he always was dying on his feet
and sometimes the opposing pitchers
wished he had died
Bolton. however, always reached
a point. Then he would pack
up and 60 home and neglect to
tell any one, including his en-
ployer.
hope this hasn't sounded too much
like accusing Bob Feller pointblank of
being complainer. This department
actually doesn't think he is the type.
His history, for one thing, is against
it. Bob was brought up on base ball,
according to whoever ghosted his ar
ticles, and he doesn't impress you as
the type to achieve a certain degree
OF success and then rest on his laurels.
It's just that people are making talk
and suspecting.

There was no chance for Trosky or

Ben Chapman as he was running and
Chappie automatically V as out. Lewis,
CT course, was given a hit 1t would

over the right field fence Not many
homers are knocked out of Griffith

that have been hit this season, none
vas longer. 1t was a real blow.
Lewis did nothing else to distinguish
himself at bat, but Manager Bucky
Harris isn't worried about his 2O-year-
Old sophomore any longer. At one
time this season Bucky dropped Lewis
from second place in the batting order
tn sixth, but he never lost confidence
IN him. That was evidenced when he
paced Lewis near the top again before
Buddy started to come around.
De ShOng'S Streak Broken.
WITH another ex-Nat pitching for
Cleveland in Lloyd Brown the
Griffs were to try to even the series
today. incidentally, they were to use
an eX-1ndian, Carl Fischer. In one
respect both sides think alike. The
Indians have little respect for Fischer.
whom they recently cut loose. and the
Mats don't think Brown is much of
q pitcher, although Lloyd beats them
on an average of three times a year.
The Griffs' four-game winning
streak was gone today and so is
Jimmy De Shongs private four-game
winning streak. Both were snapped
as Whitehill and Joe Heving held the
Mats in the pinches while the Tribe
made merry with De Shong and Syd
Cohen.
Cleveland took a 40 lead off De
Shong in the first four innings. In
their half Of the fourth round the
Grifts reached Whitehill and cut the
score to 4-3 but De Shonp was
knocked out of the box in the seventh
when Cleveland scored two more runs
and Cohen was tagged for another
run in the eighth.
With the score at 7-3 the Mats made
brave bid to pull the game out of
the fire in the last two innings but
1t wasn't enough.
Not that anything has been wrong
with the Washington attack lately but
starting today it was expected to be
improved. Shortstop Cecil Travis,
who declares he is fully recovered
from his knee injury, was to return
to his post, relieving Ossie Bluege.
