REDS TUMBLE OUT nr uriniiTO io riOT

ur nnijnia na rAa AS THEY ASCENDED BROOKLYN, June 10. Th final game of tlie Red-Dodger series went to the home team Friday, only after the hottest kind of a pitchers' duel between Grimes and Couch. The ecore was 2 to 1. Only the day before the Reds made their entrance Into the first division by taking the number of the Dodgers, but with Friday's defeat they came out as fast as they went in. Johnny Couch was hurling the best of all his games for the Reds this season, but three errors by his teammates, coupled with their light hitting, spelled defeat. "Burley" Grime's 6plt ball was working to perfection and the Moran men were bewildered by the slants of the veteran pitcher. "With two out In the first inning, Duncan crashed a hot on through, the pitchers' box, which bounded off Grime's glove Into left field. Duncan made second base on a long slide. From there Duncan scored on Harper's Fingle to left. This was the end of the Red scoring. Cincinnati opened a big series with the New York Giants at the Polo Grounds Saturday.

Babe Ruth and Bob Meusel, both registered their fifth home run of the season, Ruth's a record wallop over the White Sox Centerfield fence, but these husky clouts rmilrl not stnn thn rnuf nf thf Yftnkpea in the last game of their Chicago Series. Four hurlers, Jones, Hoyt, Bush and Murray, were pounded by Gleason's men for enough runs In the seventh and eighth to win easily 10 to 6. Courtney was hit hard in the closing innings by the New "Yorkers, but not hard enough. Dave Danforth fanned eight Red Sox and St. Louis, by winning 8-1, from Boston, reduced the Yankees' lead, starting a series today with the champions two and a half games from the top. George Sisler had a perfect day at bat with four hits. Alexander and the Cubs tamed the Giants 4 to 3, but it required a sterling support and a bit of luck to subdue the McGraw men who outhit their rivals. Frisch had a great day at bat with four hits and also fielded spectacularly. Sensational fielding by Brooklyn and Grimes' steady pitching combined to beat the Reds In a tight battle, 2-1, and put the Dodgers back in the first division. Brooklyn registered 21 assists, nine of them by Johnston, who handled a total of 11 chances perfectly at second base. The Braves, who have acquired a regulor habit of trouncing pennant contenders, outplayed Pittsburgh behind Oeschger's good twirling, while Fournier's homor with one on, helped the Cardinals trim Phila. The Athletics emerged from their slump, mauled three Detroit pitchers and won 10 to 3. AYINS TRAPSHOOTERS' ASSOCIATION TROPHY B. D.

RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND

DETROIT, POSSESSOR OF GREAT SLUGGERS, CAN'T GET HURLERS Dr PKAKK G. MK JTKH Often It has been said: "Put a Detroit uniform on any outfielder In the whole world and be'U at once hit for .350; put a Detroit uniform on any pitcher In the world and he promptly will pitch .350." There's much truth In that Over a sweep of 15 years or so, Detroit paid out about $5,500 and secured four of the greatest hitting outfielders baseball ever has known Cobb, Crawford, Veach and Heilman. And. In that same sweep of time it has unshackled about $550,000 from its coffers for pitchers without harpooning a single; one worth much more than last year's i Straw hat. In all baseball there's nothing quite so startling as Detroit's success in nir-tw .,n ,fioi,, o dred , dollar rwh .imnii ImiipdiPlv Smtm is there any mvsterv so bafflinc as Detroit's inability to get a star moundsman. If the club owners were niggardly j with the exchequer If they refused to gamble a heap of money on a young j pitcher's worth then the explanation j would be simple. But exactly the reverse is true. Send Out Scouts Detroit has sent Its scouts over every acre of baseball territory, year after year, with the injunction: "Get pitchers and damn the cost." The scouts followed orders. They! grabbed every youngster who looked good paid any price that was asked. Whenever they were forced to bid for a pitcher, they remembered the injunction "damn the cost" and they bought that twirler. And with high hopes the Tiger owners have sent these kids to training camps eacn year. Vith even higher hopes they turned them over to wise and veteran tutors for major league ! teaching. But all In vain. One by one year after year a hundred of them two hundred perhaps three hundred have been found wanting. From 1905 on to 1921, the Tigers haven't brought to the fore a single pitcher who ever could be ranked beJ yond the ordinary. And so, when one remembers that pitching is 75 per cent of a team's strength, it is easily understood whv the Tigers have been floundering around mainly in second division since Donovan, Mullin, Summers. Killetts, and other veterans ,of pennant winning days passed beyond the horizon of baseball. , Missed Pennants. It Is the clnchiest cinch in the world that if Detroit from 1910 to 1921 had been possessed of even a' fair pitching staff, it would have won about 90 per cent of the pennants awarded since that time. For Detroit through that whole era has known for its own the greatest hitting combination in baseball. If you'll slither back through the record books you will find that the Tiger crews for a dozen years have been almost consistently at the top :n the matter of runs scored and hits made. Yet theye have won no flags simply because whenever they maced opposition pitchers for a bundle of -uns, their own pitchers yielded Just enough more to let the other tribe ripple on to triumph. In 1921 the Tigers finished the year with a batting mark of .316 the highest average ever turned in by a major league ball club. It finished third in th ematter of runs scored; it possessed the champion clubber in Heilman, and the runner up with Cobb. Yet that team the hittingest one baseball ever has produced in modern times could win but 71 out of its 153 games for an average of .464 and it landed a woozy sixth in the standing cf the clubs. Made Desperate. Made desperate by the lack of pitchers, Cobb served personally as a pinchhittins: scout during the winter. Ho signed up everybody that looked good. He collected more pitchers than the Tigers have had at one time in many years. It was his hope that out of that vast army he might find one or two slinging jewels. Has he or hasn't he? He has uncovered two youngsters Stoner and Pillette who look a little better than the average. But whether they will stand the gaff and go on to real pitching heights, or slip precipitately back to the bushes before milsummer, as hundreds have done before, remains to be seen. Meanwhile the Tigers nurse no pennant hopes. They just move along from day to day, getting their joy out of life by busting down fences, and consoling themselves with the thought that: "Some day maybe we'll get a few pitchers. And then watch us go." (Copyright 1921 By Kln Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

Chips and Slips A THREATENING PITCHING MOTION That makes the meanest batters step back, is one asset that is helping young Herman Pillette, the "to boot" Ditcher obtained from Portland make a name for himself with the Detroit Tigers. A semi-crossfire motion gives ; the ball the appearance of coming.

straight at a right-hand hitter. I . , rl , , Dispatches last spring stated thatjtlie government hatcheries in MichlDetroit had purchased Pillette and gan. Ten local men, members of the Sylvester Johnson, two hurlers, from! Wayne County Fish and Game asso-

iue .roruana ciuo. x came oui iait?r j that Johnson was the major portion of the deal and that Pillette was "good measure." The Tigers gave the coast club $40,000 for the pair. Now Pillette looms up as the find of the season for the Tigers. Three victories over the Indians In a row are numbered among his accomplishments. . Pllletto is not a callow youth. He ls tried out by Cincinnati in 1917 and had bten. P.ns pro ball at least ia season Deiore mat. He was sent back 10 the coast y the Red and the west until grabbed by Last season with Portland he won 13 and lost 30 games, while striving in vain to pitch Portland out of last place. He worked something like 275 innings. When a rich American girl marries a foreign notability-she rules him, as the saying Is, -with "a rod of iron; but when.S rich Americanniari'marris a proudv foreign girl he Is apt to get it in the neck. In the early 'eighties a millionaire named George H. Skinner married a beautiful French girl of the highest social position. When Mrs. Skinner would go shopping in Paris and the shop attendant would ask her for her name, she would answer haughtily: "By birth I am the Princesse Clothidle de la Tour d'lvoire. The iootman will tell you my present name. I cannot stoop to utter it myself." NUMBER 5! Here he yoes! Babe negotiated another home run In Friday's game with Chicago. He isn't the only one on the Yankee team who Is hitting the long ones. Bob Meusel poled his fifth one of the season also. Both men were suspended together by Commissioner Landis and have played in the same number of games. IN AGAIN, OUT AGAIN. That's Just what happened to the Reds at Brooklyn In the last two days. They went into the first division on Thursday and bounced out as easily on Friday. The Dodgers hold a half game lead over the Reds for fourth place. Suspensions! Suspensions! Manager Kilifer of the Chicago Cubs and Oscar Dugey, coach of the team, are the next to be asked to absent themselves for a time. President Heydler notified the two that they were suspended for having taken part in an argument with Cmpire Quigley at the Thursday game with the New York Giants. Elg Grover Alexander came back in the game with New York Friday, continued effective throughout the contest and handed the McGraw outfit a lacing by a decision of 4 to 3. "Alex' suffered his first big knockout of the season at the hands of the on-rushing Cincinnati Reds recently, but showed remarkable old-time form against the Giants. Four games were scheduled to get under way in the S. A. L. Saturday afternoon. On the Easthaven diamond: Easthaven vs. Elkhorn, at 1:30; Floi ists vs. Gloves, at 3:30. On the M-K diamond: Richmond vs. Safety Gates, at 1:30; R. & W. vs. Checker Grocers. BASEBALL MOURNS LOSS OF JIM DUNN CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 10 Tris Speaker, manager of tho Cleveland Indians is one of the saddest men in the country today. Confined to his bed in a local hotel with bronchitis, which for a time threatened to develop into pneumonia. Speaker is downcast because he is unable to attend the funeral of hi3 best friend, James C. Dunn, president of the Cleveland club, in Marshalltown, Iowa, tomorrow. "Jim Dunn was a pattern of baseball magnate that exemplifies all that a manager wants in the owner he works for," was the tribute paid by Speaker. "He has given me every cooperation in the way of getting players but never has he tried to dictate how the team should be run. "He never complained when we lost. He always seemed to think that the players and not himself should be sympathized with. 'We can't win 'em all' were his cheering words." Plans are under way to raise a fund for a memorial to Mr. Dunn. It probably will be elected at Dunn field, the home of the Cleveland team. While the death of Mr. Dunn brought grief to all local baseball fans It was especially felt by thousands of school children. For several seasons it had been the policy of the dead magnate to admit several thousand free to games played on week days, regardless of what team was opposing the Indians. The Indians will wear black bands of mourning on their left sleeves out cf respect to Mr. Dunn. The Cleveland amateur baseball and athletic association has ordered all games cf that organization halted one minute tomorrow. Battery Service by the Year Investigate!

PITCHERS REACHING STRIDE, RESULTING IN BATTING SLUMP (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, June 10. With warmer weather and more work, the major league pitchers are hitting their stride with the result that the sluggers are finding it harder every day to get the ball into safe territory. This is shown by the steady shrinkage during the past week or two In the batting averages of such hitters as George Sisler, Ty Cobb, Tris Speaker, Rogers Hornsby and others. . The youngsters who set the league a fire In the first weeks of the season with .450 marks now are getting back to their normal averages of .275 while Sisler and the others, dropping more slowly than the fiash-in-the-pan batters still are rapidly getting down to their usual records. Sisler still tops the American league batters today despite a drop Jrom .25 last week to .419 this week, the latter mark including games of last Wednesday. Sisler cracked out nine hits In his last six games, scored six runs, and stole five bases, and as a result continues to be the whole show, with the exception of the home run attraction. With his twenty-three stolen bases, Sisler is far in front of his rivals on the paths, his closest competitioner being Kenneth Williams, who has pilfered 17 bases. Stimulates Hopes v The late start and slow progress made by "Babe" Ruth, the King of Swat, to retain his honors, has en couraged other players to enter the competition in the hope of topping the "Babe." Ken, Williams of St. Louis, bagged another homer bringing his string to fourteen. Ruth has three. Ed Miller of Philadelphia is trailing Williams with 12; Harrv Heilman of Detroit and C. Walker of Philadelphia, have eight apiece, while Baker of New York, Judge of Washington and Falk of Chicago, have entered the contest with seven each. Other leading batters for 25 or more games: Stephenson, Cleveland, .416; Ed Miller, Philadelphia, .3S5; Witt. New York, .372; Cobb, Detroit. .370; Speaker, Cleveland, .369: O'Neill, Cleveland, .364; Schang, New York. .347; Heilmann.

This is the honor which has fallen to Hank Gowdy, of the Boston Braves, the first major league player to enlist in the war. Today he is leading the batters of the National league with an average of .3S4. Gowdy is nine points ahead of Bigbee of Pittsburgh and Hargrave of Cincinnati, who are tied with .375, for the runner-up honors. Hornsby of St Louis and T. Griffith of Brooklyn, are trailing for third place honors with averages of .374 each. Hornsby failed to add to his home run record in his last five games, but Is far in front with 13.
