- Growing Lax
By BRIAN BELL
Associated Pres* Sports Writer
NEW YORK. May 2.—*P —When
pres. Ernest S. Barnard told his
Amcr.can league umpires br.ore the
aart of the tcaton he wanted the
pitching rules enforcer! end would
hold tliem acountable if they let a
guilty balk escape, he started some
thing. With the season only about
two weeks old almost as many balks
have been called as were declared
all last season.
Pitchers had grown lax anti some
“of the wind-ups provided such a
brief hesitation on the down swing
that they almost constituted quick
pitches.
Pres. Barnard did not think the
batsman should have a ball fired at
him without warning—opening up
-possibilities of injury to players al
the plate—and his Instructions to
‘{he umpires were explicit.
The chief balk casualties have
been in the west but two managers
of eastern teams w ho have not been
west have protested that there has
sireadv been dirty work at the
pitching cross roads here. Both
Walter Johnson, who as a pitcher
has balked and made his getaway
in days past, and Bill Carrigan. a
catcher, who ha* seen many a balk
coming and coine. have held lom;
and earnest debates with the um
pires. The managers have taken
the affirmative side, btit, the neg
ative has a string of unbroken vic
tories thus far.
t» oaay, inr men oi Mccaraiy nave
. an opportunity to pile up revenge.
The last few days of the Cubs
j n intra-sectional warfare in the
• West were anything but pleasant
for McCarthy. After taking two
beatings in three days at Cincin
nati. his charges closed their stay
there yesterday by fiddling through
thirteen innings of baseball in a
; game eventually called with the
score tied at 4 to 4 to permit the
| Cubs to start their trek eastward
r>n ’•chcdule. The defense perked
up. but the hitting was not there.
The Cardinals and the Pirates
also engaged in a 4 to 4 tie game
! over the thirteen-inning route as
ram swept out all National league
competition in the East. Wee Wil
, he Sherdel went the distance
against Carmen Hill. Steve Swet
onic and trvin Bra me. The Card
| mal southpaw permitted the Pir
ate-, to tie the score with a two
run rally in the ninth, and there
the teams remained until darkness
i fell over Sportsman's park.
The Athletics featured an abbre
viated campaign in the American
league by stampeduig the Boston
Red Sox by 24 to 6 at Fenway park
in a game which netted the As
twenty-nine hits, good for forty
four bases. The Mackmen seem to
be clutching earnestly indeed for
the battmg mantle shed by the
Yankees. It was not a record, but
was so close to one that fanatics
were sent scurrying into the
books
While ah of this commotion was
churning up the fenway. the
Browns were quietly opening their1
invasion of Cleveland by shading
the Indians. 4 to 3, behind the
smart pitching of Aivin Crowder.
That one counts for just as much
in the standing of the clubs as the
Athletic orgy at Boston, and serves
to keep the Browns in front by a
margin of one and one-half games.
The rest of the American league
program yesterday was swept away
by rain at New York and Chicago.
