Rv FRANK "BUCK" ONEILL

BY FRANK BUCK" ONElLL
CLEVELAND. June 7.-There's
comparatively nothing wrong with
the world and folks inhabiting it
if you take the word Of Al Sim.
mons this morning. OF course, Al
can't understand why the Presi'
dent of the United States doesn't
lay off the Supreme Court and
do something about the Cleveland
weather. You take the second
game of the double-header that
drew some $4,000 fans to the lake
front stadium. It was rained out
before the teams could go to a
decision.
The lamentable part Of this was
that the rain washed out q home
run hit by Al Simmons with the
bases loaded. It also washed out
perfectly good single. Now If
that doesn't call for punitive &C
ton by the Chief Executive, Sim
mons says he is going to write
to his Congressman and find out
just why it doesn't. A fellow has
to protect his rights, doesn't he.
Pounds Ball
Simmons does not intend to be
harsh in his demands. He reflects
in kindly humor on the two dou.
bleS and a triple, the run that he
drove in. and the two runs that
he scored while the Gritfs were
beating the Indians in the first
game Of the double-header.
Simmons also looks at the bat.
ting averages Of the American
League and finds himself climbing
toward the upper brackets. He
passed the .270 mark yesterday,
gaining almost so points in the
last 10 days. And right now he
has begun to slash the ball in his
old-time manner. In the last 10
games, not including the washed
out second game, Simmons has hit
at a 1856 clip, and has made four
doubles and two triples.
It was too bad, Of course, that
the second game was rained out
for the simple reason that Bucky
Harris had started Sid Cohen.
and the Southpay was in fair way
of winning. Simmons had
clipped a homer with three on to
give Sid the percentage right at
the start.
The Washington times., 1937-06-07
OF THE GRIFFS|

Cohen looked all right out
there on the hill. His screw ball
was tumbling away from the
right-handed batters and his side
arm curve looked fast and decep
tive. Cohen will get another
chance presently, unquestionably
in the series with the st. Louis
Browns.
Ed Eynon left the team last
night and Is in Washington to-
day. The genial secretary Of the
Griffs will rejoin the team in
Chicago, having completed ar
rangements for the All-Star
game.
Next thing you know they'll
be passing Monte Weaver in the
pinch. The pitcher cracked three
hits yesterday. He singled on
Memorial Day and scored Frank
Hogan from second base.
Miles Comes Through
Weaver gave what perhaps was
his worst performance Of the
year yesterday. He didn't look
like a pitcher, but he won.
Cleveland looks to Earl Averin
to again wear the uniform Of the
Indians into action in the all-star
game in Washington on July z.
Averill played in the first game, at
Comiskey Park in Chicago in 1888,
in New York, 1894, and in Boston
last year. He did not play in Cleve-
land in 1885. In his three games
AveriIl has q batting average Of
.375 and a perfect fielding aver
age. He is hitting 1888 or there
abouts in the American League
race and just beginning to find his
stride.
Averill, however, will find no
minor grade Of competition for
all-star ranking this season. There
is Roger Cramer, Of the Red Sox,
batting .341, and acknowledged
on all fronts as one Of the great
patrolmen Of the America n
League. Joe Di Maggie, now in
full blast, will give them all run,
and Washington dominates Ben
Chapman, who despite all manner
of handicaps, is the equal of
them all as an outfielder this
year.
