"A Der by a band of real Indians
4 \ at Clark Griffith stadium yes
terday afternoon the Nationals
went on the warpath and lifted the
scalps of the Forest City Tribe. In
dams in name only. in a 3-to-0 affraN.
1t was well that the warriors, led
by Chief No Bear who once was plain
Bucky Harris laid their foe low for
only victory enabled them to retain
undisputed possession of third place
in the American League standings.
Even with their win the Nationals
lost some ground as with dual
triumph over the Red SoX the fourth
place Tigers squirmed their way from
game and a half to Just a game
behind the show position.
The Nationals were uutSlugSed by
the opposition. getting hut five hits
while the Tribe gathered eight But
the clan. headed by No Bear, punched
Its blows effectively in two innings.
whereas the Forest City war party
never was able TO land a telling
punch whenever any of its braves
was in position to dash home.
Lisenbee Good i'm Pinchcs.
Horace Lisenbee, who did the
StiuChlAS IOG Tue NdllOIldhS, was
reached for safeties in all but three
of the nire frames in which he toiled
end yielded one pass. Three times
the visiting Indians had AS many as
two runners on the paths at once.
on one occasion when TO one was out
and on the other occasions after two
were out. And once the first batter
to face Lisenbee in an inning socked
two-base hit. Yet so effective was
the local pitcher that but two of the
opposition got as far as the third
station.
Outside of two innings, Willis Hud.
lin. young Cleveland right-hander
also pitched remarkably well. In six
sessions he caused the Nationals to
surrender in succession. But he was
bumped for three hits and gave UP n
pass in the first round which, with
a flaw in his support, was enough to
net the home clan a brace of tallies.
In the seventh round Hudlin was
nicked for two more safeties. and they
added a wholly unnecessary run to the
Nationals total.
Judge Factor i'm Attack.
Although Benny Tate made two of
the five hits credited to the Nationals,
Joe Judge was the clubs most prom |
lone binsle that drove over the Ma |
tionals' first score and his sacrifice fly /
that accounted for the tally registered |
in the seventh inning. Judge also |
starred afield while Lisenbee, with
his defensive efforts. did no little to-
ward discouraging the Indians on
slaught.
A single by Gill started the Indians
first batting turn. but the rookie was
tagged when he attempted to steal his
way to the middle station, while the
next two batters whitfield.
In their initial offensive the Ma
tionals Jared much better. Rice beat
out high bounder to Joe Sewell, and
progressed a base as Harris went out.
Speaker walked, only to be forced out
by Goslin. but the retirement put |
Rice in a position to tally easily when
Judge skidded one-baser to right. |
Goslin, who had pulled up at second
on Joe's hit. got home as Gill FUN
bled Tate's single to left. Judge tried
to make third on the rap and error,
but was shared
Hudlin's Double Wasted.
The second was a fairly quiet
frame, but two Indians denting the
base and only one of them reaching
the midway point. The only hitting in
the third was by one of the Tribe. but
1t did not help the visitors. Hudln be-
gan the round with a double against
the open stand back of left-center. He
never advanced beyond the middle
base.
No one got on in the fourth, but
the Indians fiared up a bit in the
fifth. Langford started their attack /
with a clean single to right and check.

bounder toward third became bingle

Gill and Tate made sparkling catch
