Johnson Defends Spoiling of Bridges ' No-Hit Game : Golfers May Tune for Test

HURLER MUSI EARN FUME, SAYS LEADER Harris' Pinch Single in Ninth

Only Griff Safety in Tigers' 13-0 Victory.

BY JOHN B. KELLER.

Detroit, August 6.—a

pitcher must earn a no-

hit game. Walter Johnson holds. He should get no

help from the opposing club, ac-

cording to the Nationals' manager, and Johnson's belief quite likely snatched from Tom bridges' grasp yesterday a perfect game record.

Two were out in the ninth inning of

the tussle with the Tigers in which not

a National had reached the runway and it was the turn oi Bob Burke,

piîcher, at the plate. Had Burke bat-

ted, Bridges probably would have had his perfect game, but Johnson lifted Burke, eent up Dave Harris, and Har-

ris cracked the first pitch to him for

& line single to left.

Johnson was freely criticized for his use oi a pinch-batter for the weftk- hitting hurler. With the g3me 13 to 0

against them. It was the contention of the Bridges sympathizers that the Na-

tionals had nothing to gain by sending up a stronger batter than Burke. Their argument was—why not let Bridges get the glory of the perfect game?

Johnson was roundly booed by the more than 8,000 fans in the stands when he ordered Harris to take Burke's place at the plate in the ninth. And Harris came in for a generous booing, too. when he lined out his hit.

Johnson defended his move in ex-

pressing his conviction that a pitcher must earn such a record without any favor granted by the opposition. The Washington manager felt he might have been subject to criticism had he allowed Burke to take his regular bat-

ting turn, not by Bridges sympathizers of course, but by others who might point out that Johnson had made it

easier for the Detroit hurler to reach his goal by letting the weak-hitting Burke go to bat.

As to Harris, a defense was built by β few words. Said Dave after the game:

"Why should I he p 'em? Thev ain't

givin' me nothin' up there."

BRIDGES may well feel proud of a

fine piece of pitching, despite his failure to get the perfect game.

That hit of Harris' was all the Na- tionals got off the slightly built right- hander. Sam Rice followed Dave to roll to the first baseman and be retired ■when Bridges ran over to cover the sack.

Only one hit off him and but 28 at bat against him made that game the best piece of pitching done in the American League this season.

Other than Harris' single, only seven

pitches were driven to the Detroit out- field. Eight infield grounders were hit and only one was difficult to stop, that smacked by Ossie Bluege at the outset

of the ninth inning. Then Richardson, the Tiger third baseman, lunged to his right for a fine stop and followed with a sparkling retiring throw. There were

three pop-ups to infielders. one a foul, and two fouls to the catcher.

Bridges' control was of high order.

He had seven strike-outs, in four of

them the b· .ter swinging for the third strike. And only to three batters did he pitch as mqny as three balls. Brown

went to a three-and-two count in the third inning before lofting out and so

did West in the eighth before skying to

the rightfielder. Rice, before becom- ing the final out of the game, went to

a three-and-one count. Withcut the perfect game record,there

was enough glory in the tussle ior

Bridges.

BRIDGES' failure to get tnat no-mi

mark bad the rival managers re-

calling other games in which pitch- ers went down to two out in the ninth without yielding a hit, only to have the

next batter sock safely. Harris. Tiger pilot, spoke of Ted

Lyons' disappointment in Griffith Sta-

dium six or seven years ago. Then

Lyons went into the Washington ninth with the White Sox having a big score

and not a hit against him. The first two batters were disposed of quickly, but

Bcbby V'each picked up his heavy bat

and with two strikes again~t hint

dumped a Texas leaguer in right. And

the next batter was an easy out.

Johnson told of a game Ed Plank, the

great left-hander, pitched for the Browns after he left the Athletics. The Nationals, playing In Sportsman's Park

in St. Louis, had gone to two out in

the ninth with nothing like a hit to

their credit. Up went Eddie Foster with

a fungo bat, evidently not caring to

make a hit. But when Eddie swung

the ball went soaring lazily over the in-

field rim for a one-baser Harris and Johnson then mused over

the only no-hit game ever hurled by Walter, that against the Red Sox in

Boston in 1920. The Nationals went

down to the home side ninth with only a 1-0 advantage. Johnson got two out. then Harry Hooper stepped to the plate and in those days Hooper was a most dangerous batter. He

warned Johnson to put all he had into his pitching for Harry intended to get that hit if he could

It was a case where two hits in a

row might mean a run which would

put the Red Sox back in the gi'me. So Johnson pitched with all he had ρ nd Hooper swung with all he had

Crash, a hot drive ever first base and

just Inside the foul lirw Jc Judge, playing first, took a dive at the bal!, knocked it down with his biciv. re-

covered It quickly and got to first just ahead of the fleet Hooper. Johnson's

no-hit (tame was in. "I scored the run in that game,"

Karris added but I also made the error that kept a perfect game from

Walter."

Alhanv Realizes Base Bali Goal

NEW YORK, August 6—Albany realizes an old base ball am-

bition this evening, when the former Reading club opens there ss

the new Albany club in the Interna- tional League.

Albany has been a first-rate base ball town for a good many years, but this is its first venture into class AA base ball in modern times. Away back in 1888 the State capital had a team in the league that was

the foreninner of the present In- ternational loop. For several years after that, Albany was in and out of the circuit.

Recently Albany has supported its team in the Eastern Leagoe in good style. There were good ball teams and good crowds at the State capita). Night base ball has drawn well there recently, too. so the Al- bany opener with Buffalo tonight will be played under the arc lights.

Walker gave up only two hits, both ot them home runs by Ray Blades and Jimmy Wilson in the fifth inning:. The Giants bunched five hits with English's long fl.v to score four runs in the fourth frame.

The rampant Phillies blasted Root. May and Smith for 15 hits and handed the Chicago Cubs a 9-2 beating, thereby stretching the idle Pittsburgh Pirates' lead to four games. Ray Benge was in form, keeping the Cubs' nine hits well scattered.

Red Lucas pitched the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 verdict over the Boston Braves. He blanked them until the ninth, when a single by Urbanski and doubles by Moore and Schulmerich scored two runs.

Horst of Phils Within Point

Of ( latching Foxx of Macks in Race for Big-Time Swat Crown

By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, August 6.—Don

Hurst's pursuit of Jimmie Foxx furnished the principal high- light of the major league bat-

ting contest this week as the Inter- league slugging failed to approach any-

thing like a decision. Hurst the Phillies' ace. kept right on

the heels of the Athletics' leader as each held first place in his league, but he never quite caught up. After yes- terday's games Foxx led by a single point. .361 to .360. Each had an aver- age just one point higher than that of a week ago.

With Foxx and another Philadel- pblan. Chuck Klein, still carrying the banners, the race for slugging honors came out even again. Each league sur- passed the otner in three departments of the slugging records, and each had two in which the first and second men were ahead of the leader from the rival circuit. When it came to hitting triples, they were all square, the leaders. Babe Herman of Cincinnati and Buddy Myer of Washington, having 15 each.

HERE is how the slugging race

shaped up after yesterday's games: Runs—K'.ein. 118; Foxx and A!

Simmons. Athletics. 109. Hits—Klein. 161; Paul Waner, Pirates. 152; Foxtj, 146. Runs batted in—Foxx, 125: Geh- rig. Yankees. 106; K'ein, 104. Doub'es —Paul Waner. 42; Stephenson. Cubs. 36: Porter.

Golf Analyzed BY JOE GLASS

THE arc of the swing in relation to !oft in the ball's trajectory becomes most important when

playing to the green, unless, as

sometimes happens, it is necersary to get the ball over a tree or build- ing.

If there is a broad open approach to the green, or the traps at the front are put so far forward th?t plenty of rcll is permissible, a ball with a inodcately high trajectory

ι

will do. To obtain such a ball, the clubhead must be swung in an arc neither flat nor abruptly up and down It should be approximately circular, with the clubhead picking up the ball at the low point of the arc and rising afterward.

Above is a sketch of Chink Evans, the old master of the mashle, play- ing a shot of about 125 yards. With the swing depleted, his ball will drop short of its ultimate goal and then roll up to it

Ha\ e you used up two or three strokes getting out of a sand trap? Joe Glass' leaflet "The Explosion Shot" will aid you in cutting down your score. Write for it in care of The Star and inclose a stamped, addressed envplope.

Shadow» of the Past BY I. C. BRENNER.

NAPOLEAN LAJOIE. ,

YOU will find him in Cleveland in the Summer, in Florida in the Winter. Base ball? He sees

very little of it. Απέ yet in his day Napoleon Lajoie was one of the greatest of the diamond greats.

Among most of the Old Guard. Lajoie still is ranked the best second beseman of all time. He was a hit- ter of the old school. Eddie Collins was more adroit, but Nap had the power. He rose as high as a .422

average in 1901. and Collins, of course, never was that type of hitter.

Lajoie is one of the few ball Dlav- ers of the old school who knew enough to put his money away when he had it. As a result. Larry takes it easy. Mrs. Lajoie and he like to make the rounds of the Florida re- sorts in the Winter, hitting Palm B~ach at the height of the social season, and fitting right into the picture, too.

To fill in the base ball picture of Lajoie for those of the current gen- eration who are not quite familiar with Larry's rccord. let it be said that he was in the game long enough to make more than 3.000 malor league hits.

In the davs when the American and National Leagues were fighting each other Lajoie was a storm petrel—the subject of court injunc- tions and the like.

New he wonders what he eouki have done with present-day salaries, and the present-day ball.

HAWTHORNE FEATURE

PROMISES SCRAMBLE Blenheim and Faireno, at 8 to 5,

Expected to Go to Post Favorites Today.

B? the Associated Prtu.

CHICAGO, August β —With 17 of the best handicap horses named to try for the big purse, the sixth renewal

of the Hawthorne Handicap today promised to be a scramble from start to flnisn.

The test, at a mile and a furlong, carried $25.000 in added money, and with all 17 facing the starter would bs worth (36.000, with $29,000 going to the winner.

As has been the custom this season, the East put forward the favorites. Blenheim and Faireno. the Belair stud and Wheatley stable, fresh from East- ern triumphs, were held at 8 to 5 over-

night. and figured to go to the post at about that figure. The hope of the West was Pittsbwrgher. who .showed his best form in winning at Hawthorne earlier in the week. Pittsburgher was favored in the weights, being assessed only 105 poonds to 116 for Blenheim and 110 for Faireno.

Ptuc.Vy Play, which broke up Eqtri* poise's string of victories in winning the Arlington Handicap, was in with 118 pounds, the heaviest load, but did not lack backing.

The rest of the overnight field in- cluded such good ones as Polydorus, Prince Hotspur, Evergold, Annimessic, Charleigh. Big Brand. Rehoboth. Late Date, Mad Pursuit, Morsel, My Dandy, Spanish Play and Epithet.

The Chicago Business Men's Racing Association, operator of thé track, an- nounced $1 general admissions for the balance of the meeting.

Wrong Guesses Seen as Cau«e C7

Of Hornsby Removal; Taylor's Success After Trade Factor

BV JOHN Β. FOSTER.

NEW YORK. August 6—When 1

b3se ball club owners decide j to make charges In their ; managers it is due almost

invariably to radical differences of opinion as to how the players of the team should be handled. When very

.successful managers are deposed from

teams that have been doing well for pjrt of a season, or for several seasons, the change bccomes the more sensa-

tional. Twicr such changes have taken

place in the National League this year, the first instance being the withdrawal of John McGraw from activity and the second the abrupt termination of

manrgerial relations brtween the Chi- cago club and Rogers Hornsby.

They were the two most prominent managers the league had when the season began. In both instances it is known that a difference existed be- tween the controlling executive of the ! club ar.d the manager. It was more acccntuatcd in the deposition of Hornsby

BOTH ot these managers were auto- crats The players were theirs to retain or to dispose of without j

interference from the business office. They placed their men on the field as

they saw fit. As both of them had their measure of success, they became leaders In their league and both of them were envied by other managers who were net given su Λ wide authority.

For more than three weeks before Horniby's removal there had been ru- mors of dissatisfaction with his strategy in Chicago He be?»n th" season with j great success and a weakness on the team that was evident enough to him, to

his business arsciatrs and to close ob- servers of b&se ba)l. Th? Cabi badly needed one more hard-hitting outfield- er. Hornsby had Dannv Taylor but he did not con-i:'cr him as strong enough to fill Chicago's needs and

transferred hiin to Brooklyn, wiirre h" has suddenly be.ome a trifle b:tt-r than an average player.

AYLOR has been batting better than

In every way he would hiv been a better stopgap itr the Civcaço outfield than the players who have οΛ"η tried there Chicago v as verv h« rd' hit when the teem lost Cuyirr because ol an iniury and needed all the strength that it could command at the bat bp- cause the Cubs collectively have been inferior batsmen all season. They have held their place in the race b->caue* ol their good pitchers, including thesp!?"- dld success of Warneke and a remark- ably tight defensive infiel··.

he had been at his best. Thi- ra* re- sented by the controller of the club, who felt that everything was at st*%- in every game in which the t-am w;nt on the field.

CHEVY CHASE CLUB NAMES THREE DAYS Entrants Warned They Must

Not Be Over 15 Minutes

Late in Reporting. BY WALTER R. MrCALLl M.

CHAIRMAN ROBERT STEAD,

JR., of the Chevy Chase Club Golf Committee, to- day announced the days

on which the course will be open for practice to entrants in the sectional qualification round for the national amateur champion- ship, and at the same time the District Golf Association cracked the whip over the heads of the 89 entrants in the sectional round with the warning that any con- testant more than 15 minutes late for his starting time in the tourney will be disqualified.

Stead announced that the Chevy Chase course will be open to local con-

testant» in the elimination rounds for

practice on Thursday and Friday, August 11 and 12, and Monday, August 15. The elimination rounds will be played on August 16. and 19 of the 89 entrants will qualify at 36 holes on that day lor the championship. The title tourney itself will be plaved at the Baltimore Country Club, starting on September 12.

In addition to the three day» assigned the local entrants (.which means from clubs near Washington) for practice at Chevy Chase. Stead said that entrante irom outside the Washington area also nay practice on Saturday and 8undav, August 13 and 14. He hopes, however, that the numbrr of persons practicing cn these days will not be large, for wee* end play at Chevy Chase by the mem- bers of the club is fairly heavy and con- gestion on the course is feared if a

large number of tournament entrants arc added to the regular play at Chevy Chase on Saturday and Sunday.

THE District Golf Association, through Sccrctary William C. Ban·, declared that under no circumstances can

any of the I» entrants be allowed more than 15 minutes' grace afteT their a lloted starting time. "We have to get «9 players through 3β holes of medal play golf," Barr said, "and with the last pair starting at nearly 3:30 o'clock in the afternoon we must have time for a possible play-off. Therefore, we urge every entrant to be ready to play f t his assigned tim?. In any case the 15-minute disqualification rule wi)l be enforced. We must do this to allow time for a play-off if a plav-off is

: necessary." This is in line with the custom of the National Association In running off its championships. Several players have been disqualified in past years for failure to show up at the assigned time. Last year Archie Compston. frmous British professional was disqualified in the National Open at Toledo for being late in reporting for plav.

The Golf Committer1 and th» Board of Governors of the Cherr Cfca«e Club have been uniformly g/>ne-ous in thr-'r treatment of entrent* in the σπβ>1 flerj. tion rounds. They have opened the

; course to some of th° entrant» without : payment of greens fees and the same procedure w»l be followe-f in the days open for practice in advance of the îiimination round?

To do this on a cmrrse which has such heavy p!ay almost every day Is indeed generous. The cnly stipulation is that those entrants who practice over the course on the days assigned for such practice must have their re-

! ceip: of entry fee from the United : States Golf Association. This stipula- tion is matte simply to avoid unusual congestion on the course and to f«-

i cilitate the play of those who intend to practice.

ANOTHER eagle deuce has been made on one of the short par 4 holes around Washington. But

this time It was made In regulation manner bv driving the green and hol- ii-g the putt. George Diilcnbaugh. In- dian Spr'ng professional, made it on the fourth hole at the Manor Club a few days apo. where he drove the green within 2 feet of the cup and sank the putt.

The hole measures 232 yards from tee to green, and is well trapped. It also is uphill to the green, so you can see that the little Indian Soring pro hit himself quite a wallop from the tee. He was playine with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Harvey, jr. The male member cf the Harvey family sank a bird 3 on the hole, but lost it to Dif- fenbaugh's eagle deuce.

Rudolph t. harrell of the Washington club hasn't played much golf this season, bat when

he did come out for a whirl around his home cou rie he put on plenty of stuff. He has a Summer place on Chesapeake Bay and has been down there more often than he has played golf at Wash- ington. But he came back to the club a day ago and put on a show that has net been s?en around Washington in m"nv moons.

He did nothing but play the last four hcles in consecutive birdies, finishing those last four holes, 4, 3. 3, 3. His -econd shot on the seventeenth hole nc?rly went into the cup Par for those holes is 5, 4, 4, 4.

WASHINGTON entrants m the ama- teur championship are elated at the large number of places as-

igr.ed to this section by the U. S. G. A. for the rectional tests on August 18. They all hope to qualify and the senti- ment of mcst of them is expressed fomethins like this: "If we can't get rr'und Chevy Chase in a pair of 80s we

e'en't want to play in the champiorrhlp. A pair of 80s ought to qualify with 1§ places oprn. It's just like qualifying in the first flight of the middle Atlantic cham pions hi ρ.
