BY BURTON HAWKINS.

One OF the intriguing mysteries of
the moment, rivaling for sheer sus-
pense the current respective pre-
dicaments of BIN Gump and Little
Orphan Annie, is the sudden COL
lapse Of Alexandra Carrasquel, age
unknown, who will plead guilty to
being a member of Washington's
pitching staff.
Carrasquels hurting recently has
been murdered and while the killers
definitely have been identified as
Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit,
Manager Bucky Harris has been un-
able to fathom the reason for it ALL
The rapid decline of Carrasquel
has been one of the more distress
ing items in the Mats skid into
seventh place. The large raw-boned
Venezuelan had promised to be bril-
liant consistently, but until further
notice he simply may be another
of those flowers that bloom in the
spring, etc. In his last three starts
he has been unimpressive, to put it
mildly.
Paeans of praise were directed at
Carrasquel following those three
earlier games in which he success
sively allowed Detroit only four hits,
set down st. Louis with three safe
ties and yielded only four hits to
the Athletics, but late developments
have stripped him of much of his
prestige.
Carrasquel Blows Up on Road.
Immediately following that seige
of stinginess, in which he allowed
only II hits in q innings, Carrasquel
blew sky high and he still is hover
ing in the stratosphere. He has
plummeted from the spectacular to
q point below mediocrity in the
short span of a total of nine in
nings.
In his last three starts Carrasquel
has been hammered for 18 runs and
20 hits and has issued IL bases on
balls. The White Sox belted him
from the box in the NTH inning,
Cleveland removed him from the
premises in the second inning and
against Detroit he failed to survive
the first inning.
It may be the swarthy South
American has gone stale and, is 80,
it's about time. For the past four
years Alexandra has been pitching
steadily, winter and summer, and
there was q sneaking suspicion he
is equipped with rubber arm. That
regular labor, though, may be
taking its toll.
Harris now is inclined to regard
the youthful Joe Haynes as his fore
most finger, despite the more i'm
posing record of Dutch Leonard,
who achieved his last two victories
by the unflattering figures Of 10-7.
He still is hoping Carrasquel will
regain his winning stride during the
Mats lengthy home stand.

Pilot Lazzeri Gains
Toronto Win Prior
To Reporting
News Spurs Triumph
Over Orioles, 6 to 5;
Club Signs Monush
By the Associated Press.


1t hardly seems possible that a new
manager who is several hundred
miles away from his ball club can
make any difference in the teams
playing, but the fact remains that
only few hours after Tony Lazzeri
was signed to pilot the Toronto
Maple Leafs out of the International
League cellar, the Leafs went out
and walloped the Baltimore Orioles,
6-5.
1t was only the fifth victory In
their last Is games for the cellar
dwellers and rather ragged one at
that. but it may mean there's hope
for Tony and his crew. Lazzeri, of
course, was in Toronto, where his
signing was announced yesterday,
and the Leafs were playing under
Jack Burns in Baltimore. Burns
will continue to pilot the team
through its current tour, ending
June 10.
But the news from Toronto must
have stirred the Leafs considerably,
for old "Poosh- Em-Up," one Of the
canniest ball players in the business
and still pretty good country hitter
even If his major league playing
days are over, should help the club
In more ways than one.
Yesterday Toronto signed up old
Heinie Manush, last years heavy
hitting star who recently was re-
leased by Pittsburgh, to put little
punch into the outfield and traded
Pitcher Mike Nicola to Syracuse for
Tommy Heath, much-needed
catcher.
Lazzeri's major-league connections
are expected to help bring in further
reinforcements and Tony, even when
he isn't playing, can stir up lot of
spirit on q ball club.

Cubs Fate in Chase
Seen in 20-Game
Stand al Home
Muke-or-Breok Stretch
Pits Chicago Against
All Except Bues
BY TOM SILER,
Associated Press SPORTS Writer

CHICAGO, June 13.-For those
rabid North side baseball fans the
suspense is terrible, but they should
have some rather conclusive in
formation on the pennant chances
Of the Chicago Cubs within the
next three weeks.
Tomorrow the National League
champions. after houndering around
the first third of the race, begin a
home stand for 20 of their next
% games-a period that probably
will declare them In or out of the
flag race.
Gabby Sow Knows Pilots Woes.
So far the Cubs haven't been in
the chase. For every misfortune
that has struck the team the once
jovial countenance Of Manager Cab
by Hartnett has grown a little
longer. Sad-faced Gabby now
knows there is much more to pilot
ing big league team. especially q
defending champion, than Septem-
Der winning streaks and dramatic
home runs.
Statistics alone tell an eloquent
story Of the mediocrity of the Cubs.
None Of Gabbys regulars is hitting
over 800, only two starting pitchers
are above the 500 mark in the won-
lost column. and Bill Lee, the Ma
tional Leagues top hurler last year,
has won only four game while losing
seven.
When you figure the four able
bodied outfielders are hitting a
meager 260 and the infield only 278
you wonder how the Cubs have
managed to play 500 ball. How they
are half game above that mark,
but they're seven full games behind
the front-running Cincinnati Reds.
Must Do Own Fighting.
And Hartnett's boys can't expect
the aggressive Reds to back out of
the race late in the season as Pitts
burgh did year ago, enabling the
Cubs, braced by . 10-straight win
ming string, to sneak into first place
the last week Of the season.
Every club except Pittsburgh
comes to town for . series between
now and July 4, when the home
stand ends. Baseball tradition has
it that the leader on that holiday
is the ultimate flag winner-a tradi-
ton backed by figures. So the flag
hunting Cubs have their work cut
out for them. and a big three-week
order it is, too.

Ovation for Babe

Wagner Team Beats
Collins Club, AZ,
At Cooperstown
BY ROBERT C. MCCORMICK,
Associated PreSS SrDrts Writer.

COOPERSTOWN, N. Y, June 13.
-Baseball's No. / hero still can
steal any big league show he sets
his mind to, even from under the
noses of the games only other liv-
ing immortals.
From the moment he stepped from
the train and spread his infectious
grin over the crowd Babe Ruth real
ly took over yesterdays celebration
of the Tooth anniversary of the ma
tional game. Without him it would
have lost some of its glamour.
Ruth was in the center of the
largest crowd, writing his name on
baseballs, score cards, envelopes and
everything autograph hunters could
find. when Ty Cobb arrived for the
ceremonies. a bit later, he walked
unrecognized. A block away Ruth
came out of a hotel and the fans
went mad.
Babe Brings Down House.
It was the same when they called
10 Of the II living members OF the
games hall of fame out to answer
roll call at the dedication of the
baseball museum. There was ap-
plause for Connie Mack, Hans Wag-
ner, Eddie Collins. Iris Speaker,
Walter johnson, Grover Cleveland
Alexander, Cy Young, George Sisler
and Napoleon Lajoie. Then Ruth
stepped out and brought down the
house.
Later most of the immortals dom
ned their old-time uniforms and
formed a board of strategy for two
teams of modern stars chosen by
Eddie Collins and Hans Wagner.
When things lulled temporarily,
the Bam put on his grin, picked up
a bat and waddled out of the dug
out to hit for bespectacled Danny
MacFayden. He let the first go by
and swung at the next. but the old
zip wasn't there. He hit a high foul
over the stands on his next try and
then belted a high one out to Catch
er Arndt Jorgens directly in front of
the plate. It was worth the trip
alone to hear the crowd beg Jorgens
to drop it. After that, the Wagners
won, AZ.
All Have Grand Time.
The Babe and the rest of the boys
had a grand time. 1T was like
the old days." unused the Babe after
ward, my arm got terribly tired
writing 50 many autographs. I
didn't know there were so many

Gen. Abner Doubleday is said to
have invented the game in 1889,

C. Frick and William c. Harridge,
president of the National and Amer
ican Leagues; John A. Heydler and
John K. Tener, former head OF the
National Association of Professional
Baseball Leagues, all had part.
But the way the majority of the
10000 fans looked at it was summed
up by 10-year-old boy. "Gee," he
gasped, "ain't the Babe wonderful"

Spirit Boosting

And Giants
Big Help to Teams
Thot Also Display
Other Essentials
BY BILL WHITE,
Associated Press Sports WriteI

1t seems at the moment the most
important word in baseball is
spirit"
The sentimental gentlemen who
paid tribute to the spirit of base
ball yesterday at Cooperstown, N.
Y, were, in sense, fitting nicely
into the picture that has made the
three New York teams-the YAM
KEGS, Giants and Dodgers-just
about the hottest things in baseball.
Though much of the Cooperstown
celebration was abstract, there isn't
anything abstract about the fire
and dash-or spirit. if you prefer
that marks the rise of those three
ball clubs.
The Brooklyn Dodgers are the
National Leagues pet rage. They
swing west for an 18-day, 14-game
stand way up in the first division
with record of 13 victories in their
last 18 games and 20 victories out
OF 80 starts at home.
Dodgers Going Strong.
Though their offense and defense
seem sound, critics are busy writing
stirring pieces about how the spirit
of the Dodgers makes them greater
team than any Brooklyn outfit since
1882, the last year they finished up
in the front rows.
They're only game and half
behind the St. Louis Cardinals, with
whom they have a "croocial' series
starting Wednesday-and there are
some who think the Redbirds will
be trying to catch onto the Dodgers
coattails when the series is over.
A successful trip through the West
and therell be no living with those
Flatbush fans, who take their base
ball as seriously as a coed does
her first date.
And the Giants, who have been
booed almost oftener this season
than they have been praised. are at
peak performance as they set out
on their second invasion of the
West. Five straight, their longest
current victory streak, may be
stretched into two figures before they
head back for the Polo Grounds, be-
cause it is admitted that the Giant
machine, possibly for the first tims
this year, is clicking as Bill Terry
promised it would. Bill says the
boys finally got "the right spirit
The finger injury to Burgess
Whitehead is the only dark cloud on
the Giant horizon. Whitehead's
place at second base will be taken
by Alex Kampouris, who should do

hitting those game-winning hcmers.
Di Maggio's Return Is Boon.

tional series with the Tigers. Indians,
Browns and White Sox have pro-
duced "a victories out of % games,
will open home stand that bears
every promise. Di Maggie, for one
thing, is back in there swinging
from the heels and that's always
good news for the Yanks.
Most interesting item chronicled
during the ff-season came from
Will McKechnie, boss of the league
leading Cincinnati Reds. who weren't
treated with the proper respect either
by the Giants or the Dodgers.
Will said he thought the Giants
were better than a fifth-place club
and that the Dodgers were destined
to improve their position! To the
credit of the league, he seemed posi-
tive that there won't be a pennant
won in this league for a long time"
And lest the Eastern fans get too
excited over the Giants and the
Dodgers, Will said, I'VE should get
better"
