Clyde Milan yesterday threw
Long Tom Phillips into the breach
IN an effort to stop what appears
TO be an Inevitable skidding of the
Nationals into the cellar. But Tom
proved nothing but an edible fod-
der for the climbing Yanks and at
the end of two and a third innings,
after the New Workers had pasted
our red-thatched friend for eight
hits and six runs. Milan decided
he had seen enough slaughter for
a -sIngle Sunday afternoon. Conse-
quently he waved Tom to the show
showers and sent young Brillheart
to the mound in a natempt to re-
duce the rout into a semblance
of an orderly retreat
Brillheart. Is and a southpaw,
who Is gradually growing up and
showing his way into big league
society but who, nevertheless, will
forever remain southpSw, was
more or less of an Improvement
over the former NOrleans young
ster. But a THAT he was none too
good. In six and two-thirds inn
ings he was nicked for six hits
and a pair of runs. Incidentally
he issued four walks and hit .
batsman which caused him consid-
cradle trouble. However. after
seeing Phillips exhibition Brill
hearts subsequent work can be
forgiven IL no forgotten.
Jones In Great shape.
Sam Jones. in his minor league
days known as Lucky Jones'"
came With ma mace of duplicat-
ing Jess Barnes no-hit no-hun
game in New York yesterday. Not
- f-A h. CrfA ri
lee safety off his delivery.
Judge then crashed to deep right
center for three sacks. Fewster
and Witt got balIed up on who
was to AXE tn ball and the result
was that neither of them got their
hands on it. Either could easily
have made the catch. Brown then
followed with a scratch hit into
center scoring Judge with the
Griffs' lone tally.
Two hits were scored off Phillips
in the first inning but he managed
to pull through without being
scored upon. But in the second
frame the Yanks got the range and
barrage of four safeties netted a
quartet of scores and vortually
sewed up the game.
Miller. who was the big gun in
the Yankees attack. started the
fsteful second with a single to CEN
ter. He went to second when Pipp
drove to Judge and was out I'M
assisted. Ward singled past Har-
ris sending Miller to third and the
centerfielder came home and Ward
wen to second on Scott's safety
into center. DeVormer popped to
Harris but Jones scored Ward and
Scott with a single into left. Earl
Smith playing with the bali long
enough to let Scott score from
first.
Milan Derricks Phillips.
Witt then scored Jones with a
single to center. Fewster walked,
but he and Witt were stranded
when Baker drove TO Smith.
Again in the third inning Elmer
Miller started the Yanks' drive
This time he hit safely to right
field. Pipp flew out to Brewer. but
Ward singled to center. sending
Miller to. third. from where he
scored when Scott singled TO
center.
That was enough for Milan and
more than enough for some OF the
fans. Zeb hastily waved Phillips
out of sight and sent Brillheart and
a Texas prayer in to stop the slug
ging Yanks.
Brillheart forced Devormer to fly
out to Smith in short left. but i'm
mediately afterwards filled the
sacks by hitting Jones. He then
walked witt. forcing in Ward ana
leaving the sacks crowded. Few
ster, however, ended the inning by
driving to Brewer.
The kid southpaw somehow found
his way through the following in
ming with little trouble But in
the nth DeVormers triple coupled
with Wits single to right brought
a run. and trouble appeared prob
able until Bush. Harris and Judge
elaborated to erase Fewster and
Witt.
Devormer crashed to center to
open the fifth. BriIlheart struck
out Jones. but witt scored the big
catcher with a single to right.
Fewster then drove to Bush. woh
started the double killing that saved
the Griffs considerable trouble and
the paying customers a certain
amount Of what was fast becoming
precious time.
Another triple resulted in the New
Workers final tally in the eighth.
Jones popped to Bush. but DOME
followed this. up by foozllng Wits
tap. After playing the ball badly
the little third sacker. in a hurry
to catch the speeding blond boy at
first, threw over Judges head. and
Witt romped to third before the ball
was relayed to the infield. Fewster
then tripled over Rice's head. Sam
playing the ball badly. scoring witt.
Fewster attempted to make the cir
cult on the drive. but Rice's relay
to Harris and Bucky's to Charity
caught him with plenty to spare.
The Browns begin their Eastern
invasion against the Griffs TIN,
; afternoon Ken Williams, who Is
getting more or less OF a lead on
one Babe Ruth in the home-run
market. will probably have to face
Johnson in today's fray. Barney
thinks he's fast getting right, and
a sMilan is hard put for hurlers he
may send the smoke king into
action.
