Contenders with the Yankees this year may well be the Washington Senators with a young manager, Joe Cronin, 26, to replace Walter Johnson, and their old Leon ("Goose") Goslin back in left field after three years with the St. Louis Browns...
Jimmy Wilson (Cards) has a good job in a silk mill in Philadelphia. Bob Shawkey (manager, Yanks) and Herb Pennock (Yanks) would rather go after moose than anything else. Goose Goslin (Senators) farms 500 acres in New Jersey. In North Carolina Jakie May (Reds) hunts possums and coons with 20 hound dogs. Waite Hoyt (Yanks) and Mickey Cochrane (Athletics) work in vaudeville. Bill Terry (Giants) who once had a filling station, sells oil in Memphis and sings in a choir. Ray Kremer (Pirates) works in the California oil fields. Dazzy Vance (Robins) used to sell real estate, made money during...
...Jewish player to pull in the New York crowds. But baseball games are won at bat and it was batters the critics talked about most on the Fourth of July, singling from among them the two leading their respective leagues on that day.

As a superior player critics pointed to Rogers ("Rajah") Hornsby, manager, second baseman of the Braves, leading the National League at bat with an average close to .400. Some sporting writers, fond of big words, spoke of him as a genius, others, with...
...ordinary ball game. Johnson, refreshed, allowed only three clean hits, passed only two men (one in the first inning when he was cold and one in the ninth when he was tired). Pitcher Yde (Pittsburgh) gave journalists a chance to make puns about Yde and seek. Goose Goslin hit him for a home run, his second in two days; so did Joe Harris. Bucky Harris, called out after a slide to the plate in the seventh inning, screamed like a terrified horse. Umpire Moriarity waved him away. Score: Washington 4, Pittsburgh 0.
