BOSTON SOX HERE TODAY TO OPEN 4-GAME SERIES
Opponents of the Nationals the next four days, being scheduled to open a series in Clark Griffith Stadium Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
PHILADELPHIA, April 24.—Boston's remade Red Sox will be the opponents of the Nationals the next four days, being scheduled to open a series in Clark Griffith Stadium Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Now that Boss Bucky Harris has established a regular pitching slate that includes all the veteran hurlers, Stanley Coveleskie, spit-ball artist who has a fifty-fifty record for his two starts this year, may be expected to take the first fling at Lee Fohl’s outfit. Dutch Ruether, Walter Johnson and Joe Bush presumably will follow the Pole in the order mentioned during the series.
There seems little likelihood that Boss Bucky will make any change in the near future in the National line-up that has been performing since the start of the season. Although Roger Peckinpaugh, the old-timer the pilot still insists is only waiting for warm weather to assume his regular job at shortstop, appears to be in fine fettle, Buddy Myer is apt to continue in that position.
Red Sox Are Fighting Hard.
These Red Sox are not likely to be the marks for rival clubs they were last season, if statistics of the early games amount to anything. Fohl's men have been putting up a brisk battle since the start of the season. The club has a number of strong hitters, two or three good pitchers that any other club in the American League would be glad to own and probably is somewhat stronger afield than it was in 1925.
The Nationals certainly are not looking for any set-up in the Red Sox. The Champs rather expect plenty of action when the Bostonians are encountered.
Ban Johnson evidently is determined to do away with the use of resin by pitchers in the American League. The president at last has learned that the powder is being employed by his hurlers this season despite a league rule prohibiting its use, and he plans to punish severely all caught with the forbidden dust. In a letter to Manager Harris, the league president directs attention to the refusal of the circuit to sanction the rule adopted by the National League and states that no resin must be carried to the playing bench of an American League club or by any American League player during a game. Any players detected violating the rule shall be suspended for 10 days, Johnson declared.
Philly Fans "Riding" Bucky.
A couple of Philadelphia base ball writers by continually accusing Bucky Harris of being a "high hatter" in the course of their scribbling have succeeded in making the National manager a target of the vindictiveness of many of the A's fans. When Bucky came to bat for the first time he was booed by thousands and thereafter he was heckled at every opportunity during the engagement.
Galloway made a sparkling stop and throw to erase Bucky Harris in the opening round. Chick crossed in front of second base to scoop up the ball and, although off balance, made a perfect heave to Hauser.
A catch of Hale's foul fly by Goslin drew a round of applause from the fans in the first inning. The Goose tore madly across the sward to bag the sphere near the left field stand barrier.
Dust clouds raised by the wind helped and hindered the Nationals in the third. One hid Rice's bounder from Bishop and got a single for Sam. Another obscured Bush's throw to Myer to get Bishop off second, and cost the pitcher an error.
A long argument between the A’s and Umpire Dinneen followed the arbiter’s ruling that held Hauser’s drive down the right field line to a double in the third. The A’s claimed National players in the warm-up pen interfered with the ball and that the hit should be called a triple, but Dinneen insisted it had rolled into an exit runway before being touched by any one.
Galloway kept a hit from Bluege in the sixth with a sensational shoetop catch of a liner.
Myer did well as the pivot man in a double play the Nationals negotiated in the fifth. He took the throw from Judge, who had picked up Hauser's grounder, forcing out Lamar, and rifled the ball back to Joe to get Hauser by several steps.
An odd double play was made by the Champs in the seventh. With Hale on third and Hauser on second, Simmons sent a short fly to Rice. When Rice threw the sphere in, Hauser darted for third. Bucky Harris relayed Rice's heave to Bush, who chased Hauser, and Hale started home. A throw to Severeid had Hale, but the catcher, blocking the plate, dropped the ball. Bush was on the job, however, and retrieving the sphere threw to Hank again to retire the Mackman before he could pass the catcher.
SHOCKER IS IN FORM; RUTH HITS HOME RUN
NEW YORK, April 24.—Shocker held the Red Sox to four hits and the Yankees won easily, 9 to 1, giving them three out of the four games of the series.
Ruth poked out his third homer of the season in the eighth inning, hitting a terrific liner to the right center field bleachers, scoring two teammates ahead of him.
The Yankees maintained their average hitting speed, making an even dozen hits off the combined offerings of Wiltse and Lundgren.
