IN THE fifth, Joe Kuhel lost a pop
fly in the sun and these little breaks,
plus some robust White Sox batting,
developed l2-1 lead after five innings
and, of course, iced the ball game for
John Whitehead.
The big Sox right handler went the
route, letting up at the finish. At bat
Lewis did his best to make a spectacle
OF the game by collecting four hits in
his five trials, including his fifth
home run Of the year.
Melo Almada, the young outfielder
who inherited Ben Chapman's center
field job, made most auspicious debut
with two singles and walk He scored
twice. Wes Ferrell broke into the game
as a pinch hitter (unsuccessfully) and
Rick relieved Hogan and caught the
last two innings.
The Griffs emerged with new regard
Tor the White Sox as contenders for
the pennant. During the course Of the
game, the Sox not only weighed in
with II its for rs bases, but also
stopped a couple embryo rallies with
their forty-ninth and fiftieth double
plays Of the season so far and generally
conducted themselves as a club going

But the others wouldn't touch the

could have had him for Oral Hide

untried Jake Wade; propositions were
made to the Red Sox, the Browns, the
Senator's and even the Athletics. But
so far as they were concerned, it was
strictly no dice.
Came the start of the season and
Whitehead was not in condition to
pitch. Dykes had to suspend him
without pay. That did it. Next to
going without meals, losing his pay
apparently was the hardest thing that
could hit Johnny. He really went :o

CATCHER TO WORK
DESPITE BAD HAND
Harris, Desperate, Looks to

BY FRANCIS f. STAN,
Stan Correspondent OF The Star.

H1CAGo, June l2.-Getting
no less pathetic rapidly,
Bucky Harris poor, bella
bored Mats looked today to
Catcher Rick Ferrell for fresh spark
to ignite measure OF uniform COM
bustion.
The downtrodden Nationals hit
rock bottom in the opener of this
1our-gane White Sox series and so
tragedy feeble were they, nearly in
every respect, that Manager Harris
planned this afternoon to rush Fer
rell into the lineup, ready or not.
Bucky tipped his hand when he
asked Rick to. finish that 14-to-8
farce yesterday. 1t marked Ferrell's
first appearance since a finger on
his right hand was fractured month
ago when he played with the Red
Sox against Washington. Today Rick
was to take over the backstopping en-
tirely, although his batting is likely
to suffer for a while due to the not
yet-healed digit.
At the same time, Brother Wes
Ferrell was to start his first game
In Washington uniform and Har-
rls was offering up little prayers for
his welfare. If ever the 1887 Mats
needed a shot in the arm they need

Defensive Play Drops OF.

IN LOSING the opener to the sox
yesterday and their third straight
game here in the West the Grif1s
were out Of the running from the
very outset. Moreover, In addition
to the typical batting practice caliber
OF pitching, there was exhibited new
and alarming signs of general decay
defensively.
1t is quite possible that Washing
tons pitchers have taken the heart
out Of the rest of the Mats. Unques-
tionably this is contributing fac
tor. Balls that should have been
caught have been muffed and per-
mitted to fall safe on this Western
swing, which threatens to wind up
IN most disastrous fashion.
1t has become more evident with
each passing day in the last week
that Shanty Hogan is something less
than satisfactory both at the plate
and behind it. Now Shanty is q
capable catcher but unless he is hit
ting and driving across runs, his
catching is not sufficient to warrant
putting up with his slowness afoot.
And Hogan, after brief squirt at
the start Of the tour, has not been
hitting.

Red SoX made their debuts yester-

the kings men couldn't have stemmed
the tide of battle with Washington
getting the kind OF pitching it received
from Monte Weaver, sgd Cohen and
Joe Cascarella. They were strictly
humpty- -dumpties, faulty support not
withstanding.
A fly ball lost in the sun in the first
inning by Johnny Stone gave Jackie
Hayes freak double and helped the
sox toward building up 40 lead. So,
also, did balk by Weaver and some
legitimate hits by Radclif1, Bonura,
Appling and Piet.
In the third, an error by Buddy
lewis hurt the Griffs, as did some
smart base running by the Sox. In the
fourth Weaver missed a ridiculously
easy tap by Walker and this filled the
bases and set the stage for Bonura to
clear them with double. This brought
Cohen to the slaughter.
