Mats Lose Farce, 1912.


CYD COHEN, who shared most Of
the pitching with Lanahan yes
terday, appears to be far outdistanc-
ing his left-handed slab rival. Cohen
left the game after five innings and
with 4-2 deficit, but chiefly because
Shanty Hogan gave Mel Almada a
life in the second inning by dropping
an easy pop foul. Almada then
singled to touch of a three-run rally.
Joe Cronins home run in the fifth
was the only other time the Red
Sox scored off Cohen.
Washington drew up to 4-3 for
Lanahan as soon as Dick went into
the box, but it wasn't the boys day.
In the seventh inning he walked
couple men and pitched singles to
Bobby Doerr and Rick Ferrell. The
result was three more runs, making
1t 7-3.
Again the Mats put Lanahan back
In the game by staging four-run
uprising Of their own in the eighth
to tie the score at TT. Chapman and
Mihalic beat out infield hits, Bluege
tripled and Sington doubled to later
score on a single by Travis. The
rally at Ostermueller's expense might
have carried except for Travis foolish
attempt to get two bases on his
hit
Be that as it may, Lanahan again
was unable to hold the SoX In the
eighth he gave up a walk, hit batter,
and pitched single, double and triple
When the smoke had cleared the score
was 1877.
Errors Beat pitcher" Crompton.
IT WAS grand rally the Mats staged
in the ninth to try to pull the game
out of the fire. Jesse Hill, batting for
Lanahan, singled and so did Chap
man, Mihalic and Bluege in success
sion. A wild throw by Pinky Higgins
didn't hurt and neither did walk
to Sington. Stone and Travis pro-
duced outs but Buddy Myer rammed
triple to right field, scoring Travis
with the run that tied it up at 1912.
There was a catch to it, in the end.
Harris brought only two pitchers on
the trip, Cohen and Lanahan. With
both out he had to use Rookie Catcher
Herb Crompton, who never pitched in
his life. At that Herb might have
gotten away with something with any
kind of support.
He got Gaffke to open the Soxs
ninth, but Mihalic, at third, played
Olson's tap badly and it went for a
scratch hit. Then Mihalic dropped
an easy foul by Doerr and Crompton
finally walked him. Cramer was pur-
posely passed at this point to provide
= double-play setting.
Lo and behold. Crompton got dou-
ble-play ball out of Joe Cronin. It
was a sharply hit grounder to Mihalic
who tossed to Myer to get Cramer. But
Buddy, with Cronin beaten by yards.
threw the ball into the dirt and it
shot past Ossie Bluege at first base
while Olson scored with the winning
run.

Bucky, Master Signal Maker,

Of Tipping Pitches to Riuals

too good a curve ball, he reasoned,
to have failed to make good. He
studied Appleton. Finally he saw it.
When Pete was going to throw his
curve he rolled his thumb 50 that it
stuck out The curve rolls of this
digit while the thumb changes
position for a fast ball.
Pete's Records Bears Out Benefits.
1T WAS Harris who suggested that
Pietro keep the ball in his glove
until he reached the height of his
wind-up Then grab It," he advised,
"and see how many pitches they call
on you"
Pete's done it religiously. He's the
only pitcher in the American League
who throws this way, but it hides his
give-away rolling Of the thumb. And
in 1896 he won IA games, lost only
nine, was the most effective pitcher
on the club and ranked fifth in the en-
tire league in earned-run average.
Harris wears his laurels modestly.
ut has to be part of the game he
says. Bakers got it all over me. He's
absolute tops. But I try to help all
I can. Right now I'm trying to find
out what Jimmy De shong is doing to
give away his pitches. The White Sox
got onto Jimmy and I'll be darned
if 1 can find out how"
Bucky King of Sign Givers.
WHEREAS Baker is acknowledged
best at stealing signs, Harris
reigns supreme as a sign giver. This
is no newly acquired title. Almost
from the start of his managerial ca
reer, when he was the hoy wonder"
back in 1924 and 1925, he allowed
few OF his signals to escape.
The cap, shirt and trouser are the
ingredients he uses In giving signs to
base runners and the "hit" and take"
signals to batters. His giving Of the
signs are obvious enough. When the
Mats get back take a gander at Harris

don't try to figure them out unless
you want to wind up in strait
jacket.
Bucky is one Of the few managers
who were able to go through the 1886
season without a wholesale changing
of signs Every time a trade is swung
this becomes almost a necessity, but
last year Jake Powell was traded to
the Yankees and Jack Russell to the
Red Sox. And still the Mats used the
same signs from start to finish.
It's definite part Of the game, and
the game Is one branch Of life where

OF It.

result, are finding that having an
eight-game winning streak snapped
isn't so hard to swallow after all.
Before the big all-America tackle
from Alabama cranked up at the
plate in Sarasota yesterday and
walked, punched out single, double
and triple there was suspicion
on the loose that maybe Freddy just
wasn't bigleague hitter. Manager
Bucky Harris, who sponsored him as
Washington's regular right fielder,
confessed to mild panic on that score.
Bucky even sought out Clyde Milan,
manager of the Chattanooga Iookouts,
for whom Sington batted .384 He

Slick in Feller Case.

THEY can't laugh of slapnicka any
more. 1t was Cy who discovered
most Of the big stars on the Cleveland
roster today, and out-foXed everybody
to land the sensational Feller.
While other scouts gave Feller the
go-by to check up on Pitcher Claude
Passeau, now with the Philadelphia
Phillies, Cy ducked them and drove to
the Feller farm near Van Meter, Iowa,
to watch the schoolboy do his stuff.
He made sure no other scouts were
around, and then got behind the plate
to take peek at Feller's stuff. Three
pitches convinced Cy. He nailed Eel
ler's father right after the game and
argued and pleaded until am, the
next day when he got his man.
And when it appeared as if all were
lost-that Commissioner Kenesaw M
Lands would rule Feller a free agent

when he swapped Pitchers Monte Pear

Johnny Allen. Ex-Indian manager,
Walter johnson, had said Pearson had
more stuff than any pitcher in the
American League and the howl went
up that Slapnicka was being fleeced
by the smart guys from Broadway.
But it was good deal for both clubs
Allen won 20 games and lost 10 for the
fnth-place Indians, compiling an
earned run average Of 3.44, whereas
Pearson won 10 and lost 7 with the
worlds most powerful ball club behind
him. Pearsons earned run average
was 3.4S On this basis OF compare
tive strength, Allen was the better
pitcher

SITS BLAMED
ON ASSEMBLY,

DETROIT, March % 0N.SJ.
The "sit-down State legislature" at
Lansing today stood blamed by the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, radio
priest, for the automobile sit-down
strike crisis in Michigan.
Warning that the present indus
trial conflict threatened to be
more sanguinary than the war of
independence" unless a solution
was reached, Coughlin said in a
radio speech last night the blame
should be laid squarely on "the
granite steps of the State capitol
in Lansing" He also called MiChi-
gan's lawmakers the sit-down
State legislature" and taunted
them for considering dogracing
bills while such a grave strike
crisis existed.
Coughlin declared over and over
again that there was no law in
Michigan to protect the rights of
labor although there were laws
to protect capital and industry.
For this, he blamed the legislature.
The radio priest asserted Gov
ernor Murphy could empty the
ChrySler auto plants, now held by
5000 sit-doWners, without a drop
of bloodshed if he would promise
that within so days the State leg
islature would enact laws to do
"as much for labor as it has done
for capital"

when school officials connected
with the nearby wet gas line, they
have paid no bill to the Parade
Oil Company, he admitted.
Developments were so impor-
tant that State and Federal Of
ficials hurried into this stricken
community, prepared to launch
an all-inclusive investigation of
oil-field operations.
Before a picked audience, which
included representatives from the
State capitol and Washington, as
we'll as school building construction
experts, the board of inquiry
pressed for additional details of
the pipeline tapping.
JanitOrs Laid Main
The board was informed that
several janitors and a bus driver
laid the main from the school to
the line, owned by the Parade Oil
Company. That line carried what
is known as wet" gas. The
schools heaters--a separate heater
for each room-are said to have
been built for the use Of "dry"
gas.
The disclosure that natural gas
was being taken without the con-
sent of the company was made
by Herbert L. Clark, field foreman
for the Parade company, who as
serted:
81 did not know that the gas
from our lines was serving the
school until after the explosion.
"Then l was directed to cut
off the New London school by
Ben Calhoun, of the Humble Oil
Company. He said that Super
intendent Shaw had sent word
for it to be shut off"
Senator Joe Hill Of Henderson
asked:
Are you sure that the Parade
Company did not know anything
about this connection being
made by the London SchOOl?"
Clark answered:
II know that 1 am in charge
Of the pipelines in this area.
Whenever anyone is allowed to
use our residue l am always
notified. / have never been
notified that the London school
had any agreement"
Economy Held Reason
After it had been recalled that
the school started using wet gas
only last January, Clark was asked
if he knew why the change should
have been made from dry gas. He
replied:

SECRETLY TAPPED GAS HEATED SCHOOL

"T don't know. For reasons Of
economy, 1 suppose"
With Clarks testimony ended,
the court pressed further into the
tapping of the lines.
Floyd Hunt, driver of one Of the
school buses, admitted he helped
make the connection, explaining ::
Il don't just remember who
told me to do this work but a
janitOr said Mr.. Shaw (the
superintendent had ordered
it,"
No Explanation Given
Another witness was Calvin
Johnson, school janitor, who said
he was in the crew that laid the
line running from the pipeline to
the school, where it was connected
with heating units in the build
ing. He added:
81 assisted in the work on the
orders of Mr.. Ragan Ia school
board member. He gave me
no reason for changing from
dry to wet gas"
Clark previously had testified
that members Of his force patrol
the pipelines, and whenever a con-
nection is found to the lines,
warning is given the persons re-
sponsible that their flow of wet
gas is to be shut off.
Questioned as to why such &C
ton is taken when the gas is ad-
mittedly useless to the company,
Clark replied:
"TO keep from getting into
trouble"

a fire someone might attempt to
hold the company responsible.

Cannot Conceive Their
Ultimate Legality
Says Idahoan

The statement of James NJ
lands, chairman of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and
dean of the Harvard Law School,
that sit-down strikes ultimately
might become legal was chal-
lenged today by Senator Borah
(R0, of Idaho.
In a speech to law students at
Catholic University, Lands was
quoted as saying:
"The claim today that men
can occupy premises to keep
their claim to strike intact is
similar to the claim OF the en-
pIOyer to close his premises
against his employees. The queS-
ton is whether property in such
a dispute is going to be recOg-
niZed as inviolable.
"The eventual outcome Of such
a claim will depend, in part, per-
hapS, on the capacity of our law
to devise new concepts and
mechanicism to meet the needs
of which this type Of economic
pressure has been born"
Borah said Lands remarks
allied to indicate just how he ex-
pected such a change in legal
concepts to come about. He said:
81 can not conceive of any
legal concepts which would
make legal q Sit-dOwn strike. I
do not see how under our

concept"
Senator Burke CD Of Nebraska
said that if Lands actually sug-
gested that sit-down strikes were
legal he was disqualified" to
hold either his Federal or law

"Sit-down strikes are an ex-
treme example of barbarism
