CLEVELAND. Ohio, September 1S.-
With the two games here in the bag,
the Nationals were hoping completely
to quell Cleveland this afternoon and
tuck away the third contest. Victory
today would give the Harrismen an
even break for the season with the
Indians. The series now stands ten
wins for the Nationals and eleven for
the Tribe.
Fred Marberry, youngest member
of the Bucks mound corps, was to
do the hurting against the Indians
in the final engagement of the series.
He has started against them twice
here. losing in the ninth inning of a
game played during the Bucks first
tour of the West. and being driven
from the slab early IN the fray in a
second-trip encounter.
George Uhle. Cleveland sandlot
product, noted for his hard hitting
almost as much as his good pitching,
probably will go to the hill for the
home aggre cation. At present. Uhle
is considered the pick of the Tribes
f1inging staff. He has done well
against the Bucks this season.
Immediately after ,today's engage
ment, the Bucks will entrain for st.
Louis, where three-game series
with the Browns opens tomorrow.
