stood the Nationals on their heads this
afternoon and they were trimmed by
the Tigers, 4 TO /.
Only three hits ratified off the WASH
ington bats. so effective was the pitch
ing of the former Holy Cross star. One
was homer driven over the left field
wall by Ossie Bluege in the seventh
inning that saved the Nationals from a
white washing.
Goose Goslin made the other hits.
He got single in the second session
with high bounder to the pitcher only
because Marty McManus failed to cover
first base. In the ninth round Goslin
got real hit double to right center
But neither time was there any one To
help him around the runway.
Nationals dented the paths but Ave
other times. Carroll issued three passes.
while A fielder's choice let one of the
Clan Harris reach first and a wild
chuck by Jack Tavener from the short
field gave another life. II was a
brilliant performance that the young
Tiger gave.
Hadley's Wildness Costly.
Irving Hadley cssaycd to flurl his club
to a third successive win over the
Bengals and ne lasted seven innings.
Irving had little idea as to the location
Of the plate, while his support was
wabbly. too. Hadley yielded but four
safeties, spread over as many innings,
but he gave out eight franks TO the
initial station and three of the franked
batters reached the counting block
Lloyd Brown. left-handed his way
against the Tigers in the eighth, allow
ing one single.
Two errors by Jack Hayes. both
failures TO check drives from Tiger bats,
helped the Tigers toward their tallies
and so did Catcher Eddie Kenna's
failure to catch throw from Hayes.
One OF Hayes errors came in the first
frame. when Hadley walked two batters
and sent the Tigers away TO a good
start. His second error and Kenna's
misplay we're punched in the seventh
inning. when Hadley walked three. And
in each of these rounds the home club
inserted hit. The combination simply
ruined the Nationals cause
After the Nationals had been set
back in order. Hadley's wildness and
a tumble by Hayes helped the Tigers
toward two tallies in the first inning
Warner walkedsas starter and Harry
Rice got on the runway when his
grounder was booted by the Washing
ton second sacker. A pass to Gehringer
filled the sacks. Reeves got Heilmann's
grounder and tossed to Hayes. getting
Gehringer while Warner scored Hayes
tried To get the batter for a double
play. but he was showed off balance as
Gehringer slid into the sack and threw
wide TO Judge. Following lfcManus'
pop to Hayes. single by Vingo sent
Harry Rice home
Goslin'S Hit Wasted.
Goslin got the first hit of Carroll. a
high bounder to the pitcher, at the
outset OF the second session that went
for a single when McManus failed to
cover first Judge, though. forced out
the Goose and neither Reeves nor Bluege
could aid Joe. Some fancya fielding by
Hayes and Rice checked the Tigers in
their second batting turn and the Ma
tionals could get nothing from the pass
that was issued to Sam Rice after two
were out in tht third Harry Rice sin
gled and Heilmann walked in the Tigers
half of the third. but a two-play killing
nipped the rally in the bud.
The Nationals could not do thing
with Carroll'S pitching in the fourth,
but the Tigers got TO Handley for an
other hit and pass that Melted them
nothing. Wingo got double with a
loft over GoSlin's head and. after
Tavcner popped TO Reeves. took third
when Kenna let one of Hadlev's heaveS
get by. Woodall'S fly To Sam Rice. how
ever. was caught so close 10 the in
field that Wingo did not dare 70 try
for the plate. Four pitchers sufficed 70
put Carroll on the runway. but Warner
lined to Goslin.
In the fifth. the Nationals almost
got two men on base after two were
out. Kenna was frankcd 10 first and
Carroll then pitched wide of the plate
three times IN succession when Hadlev
came up. Then the Washington hurler
watched three good ones go by. For
the Tigers. Harry Rice walked and got
as far as third base through Gehringer's
infield erasure and Heilman's long hoist
10 Barnes. There he languished, for
Bluege heaved out McManuS.
Hayes was the only National To GET
on the runway in the sixth. He reached
first after one was out when Tavener
made wild chuck and he never got
any farther. Bluege'S tumble put
Woodall on after two were out in the
Tigers portion OF the frame. but Sam
Rice took good care of Carroll
Judge s;rolled to begin the Nationals
seventh, only TO be shared with Reeves
In double play. The two-ply killing
was especially unfortunate for the Ma
tionals for Bluegc stepped to the plate
and hit the first pitch TO him for his
first homer of the year. OSSie sent
the ball soaring over the left field wall.
Tigers Then Sew II Up.
Then some wild and woolly chucking
by Hadlcy and equally wild and woolly
fielding by his support enabled the
Tigers To sew up the contest. With
one gone in the home clubs seventh.
Harry Rice and Gehringer were walked
Hayes let Heilmann'S grounder Get by
and Harry Rice tailed Sam Rice re-
turned the ball 10 Hayes and the sec

Dali so Gehringer got home.
Hellmann attempted To reach the far
corner as the catcher erred. but Kenna
was too quick for the Tiger. He had
recovered the sphere and fired il To
Bluege to get Heilmann standing up
McManllS reached Hadiey for douh,
driving the ban against the ScorebOarS
back OF left center, and Wingo drew the
third pass OF the inning and the eighth
OF the game off Hadley, McManus and
WinSo tried 10 negotiate a dual theft

into third.
