Sis also is praying that as his
patients are discharged from the clinic
there will be no further casualties to
rob his machine of power, for he be-
heves that with all cogs present and
attuned his entry has the inherent
strength to rapidly climb to its right
ful position as a contender.
Although his combination has been
treated like a door mat by every club
it has met thus far Sisler has been
enthusiastically awaiting the turn OF
fortune wheel and had hoped it would
come coinCidental!y with the arrival
of the Browns in the Capital, where
they have enjoyed a generous measure
of success for years.
Sisler Hints at More Shifts.
He shook up his lineup again, to
no avail, and hints at further shifts if
the tide of luck doesn't turn this after
noon when Tom Zachary is scheduled
TO draw the considerable assignment
of trying to outpitch Walter johnson.
but he got a big thrill, along with the
modest turnout of fans at the orchard
yesterday, over the desperate ninth
inning assault launched by his under
HngS, and despite the fact that it fell
q trif1e short is pleased to regard that
sortie as auguring well for the imme-
dtate future.
Turned back with three hits by
Dutch Ruether over period Of eight
rounds. while his mates had amassed
half dozen runs from the combined
offerings of Claude JOnnard and Elan
Nangilder, the Browns broke out into
a rash of bingleS in the final frame
that sent the Dutchman Scurrying to
cover and gave Fred Marberry all he
could do to apply the brakes.
This uprising presented a striking
illustration of the uncertainty of base
ball, In a pinch hitting role Schang
had eked out a Texas Lacquer in the
fifth and burst contrived to scratch
an infield bingle following Dixon's real
hit in the eighth. That was all until
the final canto, when five WhackS in
succession put three runs over and
ended Ruether's regime.
McManus Starts the Rally.
McManus started it with a single to
center, Jacobson pumped one to left
and Williams tripled to the scoreboard.
caShing his mates and scoring himself
on a wild relay by Harris. Clean
pokes by LamOtte and Dixon brought
Marberry in from the bull pen and the
parade was temporarily halted when
Hargrave, in an emergency role,
bounded TO an intield death.
The procession was resumed when
Harry Rice looped a Texas Lacquer to
left that scored Lamotte, and when
burst forced Rice another marker was
toted home by Dixon, leaving Cedric
at the initial station with the tying
tally. Sisler made q bold bid to keep
the pot boiling by swatting a nasty
crack down the first base line. but
Judge contrived to knock it down and
end the debate by beating Sfsler to the
sack
JOnnard Wild i'm Opener.
Jonnard found the plate on swings
at the outset, and through his wild
ness spotted the Griffmen a couple of
runs in the initial Stanza. He passed
McNeely for a starter. and after
Harris sacrificed, issued free tickets to
Sam Rice. Goslin and Judge in success
sion, with a resultant tally. The pro-
ceeding was varied when Bluege
popped. but Peck also was franked. to
force another marker over the plate
before Ruel rolled to Lamotte to leave
the bases loaded
Steadying down, Jonnard got through
the next round with an unsupported
double by Harris charged against him,
but was nicked for another marker in
the third. Judge got a clean swat to
center with one gone, and after Bluege
died aerially and Peck walked, Ruel
looped a little Texas Lacquer to left
that counted Judge.
! Another brace of tallies was charged
against Jonnard in the following
frame. when his supporting cast failed
him, three errors in addition to as
many hits figuring in what proved to
be his final round on the rubber
:. McNeely looped a Texas Lacquer to
Fight to open the frame. Harris beat
out a bunt down the first base line and
when Jonnard padded the ball onto
foul territory in an attempt to field it
McNeely galloped to third, from where
he counted when Sisler made a fine
diving stop of Sam Rice'S hot smash
close to first base for a. retiring play.
