value OF the two players turned over
to Newark.
Walter johnson was managing
Washington when Fischer first came
to the Griffs. Now Bucky Harris is
at the helm and in spite of the seven
mediocre seasons Carl has spent in
the majors, Bucky likes him; plans to
make him a starting pitcher
Harris Is not srasping ut any
straw, as yet. For instance.
when the Yanks put big Walter
Brown on the block and asked
waivers, Bucky did not claim
him. He thought Walter had
plenty Of stuff on the ball, but
too much waistline. So Brown
slipped to the minors.
Fischer is a pitcher Harris always
liked. Anyway, he claimed him twice
before he finally got him the third
time. If Carl is any help Bucky can
thank Tony Lazzeri, who stole third
on Fischer last week in Cleveland.
May Ape Kelley, Appleton.
A FTER the game Steve O'Neill,
goaded into q veritable hre-spit-
ting mood by Cleveland newspapers,
said to Fischer:
Get dressed and get out.
You're through" Fischer did
so and now he Is with Wash
ington.
Carl has not always been a foul
ball in the major leagues. In 1885
he had a no-hit game against Wash
ington for eight innings but in the
ninth Ossie Bluege singled D spoil 1t.
He was pitching for the White Sox
then. after having been traded by
Detroit. 1t looked as II he might
make the grade with the Sox. but
eventually Jimmy Dykes let him slip
into the minors.
Last year, pitching for Buffalo, he
won Is out Of IS games during the
regular season and four in 4 row in
the play-of1 series. Surely he deserved
another chance, and Cleveland, prob
ably having the best pitching stan
in the American League, gave it to
him.
Fischer is 80 years old now Many
pitchers lose some Of their effective
ness when they reach this age, but
not all OF them. Pete Appleton was
an exception. So was Harry Kelley
of the AS.
Fischer may not have the
sheer stuff" he had on the ball
when he first came up but he
may have learned the habit Of
winning, Q'Neill's opinion to the
contrary.
Harris thinks he rate to be q
starter. "He doesn't have to be very
good to strengthen our pitching stan, +"
observed Bucky. with a wry grin.
Seriously, though, he's fast and he
ought to win. If We can get four Of
our pitchers clicking we'll have to be
figured in the race yet"
Starting Quartet Undetermined.
EISCHER'S purchase, plus the
esteem in which Harris holds him,
means that = sharp revision In the
