Case, Convinced He
Can Play Center
Says Rough Ground Here
Causes Errors; Eager
To Get in Classic
BY q Stan Correspondent of The Star.

BY Stan Correspondent Of The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1O.-Mr.
George. Washington Case, the fiery
tempered speedster who owns the
distinction of being the only Wash
ington player to make the Ameri-
can League All-Star squad, doesn't
relish continuing in the capacity of
the Mats left fielder. He wants
his center-field job back again.
Cases pride suffered a slight jolt
when Manager Bucky Harris elected
to shift George to left when the
feather-footed outfielder returned to
the lineup after nursing leg in
juries for week. Case still regards
himself as a center fielder and he's
lathered himself into a surly mood
over his new position.
Harris decision to test Case in
left is predicated on the fact that
George isn't the acme of reliability
on ground balls. In left he is likely
to commit fewer bobbles, figures
Harris, for the simple reason less
grounders are apt to trickle into left.
Case Still Confident Despite Shift.
well, confound it," fumes Case,
maybe Bucky and Mr.. Griffith
have given up on me as a center
fielder, but I haven't given up on
myself. I think I was coming along
all right out there. A lot of young
players have had more weaknesses
than I have and been given more
of chance than I had.
II don't care What anybody says,
Griffith Stadium has the roughest
center field in the league, and that's
where I've made most of my errors.
Doggone it, when you charge those
ground balls in Washington it's no
cinch. Balls seem like they're COM
ing at you on washboard.
II should think they'd want to
keep me in center to utilize my
speed. I can go get balls I know
other center fielders wouldn't reach.
I hope they don't keep me IN left.
I'd rather play center and I know
I can make good there"
George Hitting at 1888 Pace.
Meanwhile George is concerned
about his prospects of crashing the
American League lineup here to-
morrow. Having accumulated sea-
son swatting average Of 1888, col
lecting 100 hits in 300 trips to the
plate, Case is conceded an excel
lent chance of seeing action.
George, though, won't be installed
at his favorite post should Manager
Joe Mccarthy insert him in the
lineup. He will yield that spot to
Joe Di Maggie. the only American
League outfielder outhitting Case.
Case rapidly has dissipated any
concern over the condition of his
legs. Since returning to the Wash
ington lineup five games ago he has
thumped at .375 clip and yesterday
boosted his stolen-base total to 90
with two thefts as the Mats swept q
ouble-header at Philadelphia.

Red Sox Turniinq

Into Real Race
Astound Funs With 5
Wins in Row Over
Pacing New Yorks
By JUDSON BAILEY.
Associated Press Sports Writer,

1t looks as if somebody ought to
ask the American League to break
up the Boston Red Sox.
Their feat of whipping the New
York Yankees five straight in YAM
ke Stadium came clos to distracting
everybody's attention from tomor-
rows major league all-star game
in New York and the reverberations
are likely to last lot longer.
Since June % the Red Sox have
won IL out of IA games, the last
in a row. They have taken two
consecutive series from the world
champions and climaxed the drive
by sitting New York in successive
double-headers. And they have cut
the Yankees lead from 1872 to 6I2
games.
Manager Joe Cronin and big
Jimmy FoXx were ringleaders in
yesterdays 4-3 and So victories.
In the first game the Red Sox were
trailing by run until the eighth
inning, when Cronin smashed a
homer into the left-feld stands
with one on. In the second they
had a tWo-run margin, but Foxx,
evidently sensing trouble, hit his
fourteenth home run of the season
in the eighth to withstand a final
two-run thrust by the champions.
Yanks WallOw in Slump.
The Yankees outhit the Sox In
both games and Joe Di Maggie got
six hits in eight times at bat dur
ing the day. driving in all the New
York runs in the second game.
Yet there is no doubt about the
Yankees wallowing in slump.
Manager Joe Mccarthy tried all
kinds of experiments as the trouble
grew. He withdrew Bill Dickey,
Tom Heinrich. George Selkirk and
Babe Dahlgren at one time or an
other from the lineup
Most significant of all, the breaks
that once went for the Yankees
now are going against them. Bump
Hadley got so fiustered yesterday he
threw two balls into the outfield,
letting in three runs and practically
beating himself, Dahlgren came to
bat with the bases loaded and hit
into double play. The day before
Joe Gordon missed a touchout at
second base and argued himself out
of the game.

double headers all were one-sided.
The Chicago White Sox strength
ened their third-place position by
beating the Detroit Tigers. 4-3 and

hitting spree to beat the st. Louis

The Cincinnati Reds crushed the
Chicago Cubs, 1871, in the National
League as Bucky Walters scored his

York Giants concluded their in

1t may or may not be significant,
but Mickey Vernon has performed
at first base in three games for the

baseball team was the proud pos
SCISSOR of a three-game winning
streak in which many of his mates
are willing to admit he played an
instrumental role in faShioning.
An elongated youngster, with less
than ITO pounds draped over a g.
foot Pinch frame, the quiet lad
has stepped into the Mats lineup
and performed like he intends to
remain there. He's swatting a nifty
.357 thus far in his major league
career, but his fielding finesse has
been even more convincing.
Vernon, in brief. seems to have in
jected steadiness in the Washington
inf1eld. If he isn't the most polished
first baseman the Mats have pos
sessed since Joe Kuhel was shipped
to Chicago then he's been playing
over his head in his brief stay with
Washington.

He's developed rapidly since that

ing suspicion local fans will like
his style after viewing Zeke Bonura
Jimmy Wasdell, Sammy West, Ossie
Bluege and Bob Prichard on first
in the last two years. He'll outfeld
them all, including the fading
Bluege, and he shows signs of being
a hitter.
His five hits in IA trips to the
plate all have been singles, but all
were smashed sohdly. Three of
those drives have been pulled to
right field, an item which figures to
aid him tremendously when he picks
up weight and displays more power.
Only 81 last April, Vernon impresses
as lad who is likely to gain 20
pounds by next year.
Meanwhile the Mats were feeling
pretty jubilant as they rested here
today. for yesterday they swept a
double-header at Philadelphia, Sd
and 1913, and boosted their road
record for the current lengthy trip
to an even break in eight games.
The Mats will work out at Griffith
Stadium tomorrow, leaving for St.
Louis and Western trip on
Wednesday afternoon.
No small measure of satisfaction
to Manager Bucky Harris has been
the sudden reversal of form shown
by Shortstop Cecil Travis. The
gangling Georgian has been spray
ing hits in prolific style, batting .412
since the Mats left home and cover
ing shortstop territory more than
acceptably.
Travis Fielding Also Improves.
Cecil appears ready to aid the
Mats from here in. He seems
stronger and more relaxed than at
any time this year. From a medi-
ocre shortstop he suddenly has been
transferred into q defensive stall
wart. Forgetting past performances,
for the last week Travis has re-
sembled crack shortstop.
Dutch Leonard registered his
ninth victory of the season in the
first game yesterday, but he was a
panicky pitcher before it was
achieved. He was coasting with a
5-3 lead entering the ninth despite
having issued home runs to Frank
Hayes and Bill Nagel, but things
began to happen rapidly.

Wake Forest, March 27.-Coach
John Caddell's young sophomore
baseball nine will get its second test
of the season Tuesday afternoon,
meeting Colby College from Water
Vile. Maine here on Grove Field
starting at $3.50. Colby is the alma
mater of Dukes diamond mentor,
Coach Jack Coombs.
Although the Deacons coasted to
12-1 victory over the Springfield
outfit here last Friday in their mi
tial encounter of the season, the Oc-
casion was not fair test of what to
expect of the Baptists this year.
Coach Caddell made numerous
changes in his lineup, using three
hu.rlers, and none of the players
were forced to extend themselves.
While the Deacons had easy sail
ing in their first game, they won't
find a soft touchs in the Colby outfit

~ Of veterans, and there is no doubt
but that the Wake Forest boys are
in for a tough afternoon. A check

Maine institution revealed that the
White Mules have been state champs
three seasons and tied for first place
in two others, during the past seven
years. Five out of seven isn't a bad
record for any league.
