of the 80 hits were for extra bases
During this hitting spree Rice
10 times has Socked tWo-baggerS,
and three times triples have
sprung from his mace. Sam in
the nine games the Nationals have
played during this road trip up to
today has not slammed the ball as
Savagely as he did in his last 10
games in Washington, but he has
hit for .342 since leaving home.
And his hitting has told in the
Washington attack that has
brought seven wins in the nine
starts the club has made since
quitting Griffith Stadium.
A two-bagger by Rice yesterday was
the first of collection of Is safetieS
the Nationals got to rout the White SoX,
IL to 3, in the opening of the four
game series here. 1t was made off Ed
Walsh, who was driven from the fray
before a National was retired. Three
more safeties off Walsh followed Rice's,
then the Johnson band continued its
mainder of the route.
IhOmaS Un0er wraps
Myles Thomas did the hurting for the
Nationals. and, given a lead of seven
runs in the first inning, worked under
wraps most of the time. yet the White
Sox, with their 10 hits, got but one
earned run off him. Thomas control
was much better than McKain's, the
Washington hurler spreading four passes
over as many innings, while McKain
granted his six passes in the early part
of the engagement.
It did not take the Nationals long to
bag this one, seven hits, backed, by a
brace of errors charged to Art Shires,
White Sox flrSt-sacker, in the initial
round settling the issue. Judge got a
life right of the reel when ShireS man.
handled a peg from Kamm. Came
Rice's double to move Joe to third
and Goslin'S single to account for two
tallies. One-basers by Tate and West
put GoSlin over and brought McKain
to Walsh'S relief.
Gooch, first to face the new pitcher,
attempted to sacrifice, only to force out
Tate at third base. Cronin and Hayes
singled, and two, more markers were
chalked up. Themes grounded to CiS- /
sell, and a Side-retiring double play !
should have ensued. Cissell chucked to |
Kerr to retire Hayes, but Shires dropped |
the heave from the second baseman, |
and Cronin go over with the sixth run
Of the session. gsa
Judge Smacks One.
Along came Judge to bat for the |
second time in the inning, and Joe hit
to right for a base, moving Tommy to |
the far corner. Rice drew a pass, |
which crowded the bases, and Goslin |
also strolled to first, forcing Tommy |
over the counting block with the Ma
tionals' seventh tally. The attack was
checked temporarily when Kamm took
Vests groumder and threw to Kerr for |
O force-out of GoSlin.
The fourth and fifth also were Scor-
ing innings for Johnson's charges. Cro-
nin'S homer, driven into the lower left
field stand, followed pass to Gooch
in the first of these rounds, to account
for two runs. and two more in the fifth
came from Rice's walk, GoSlin'S triple
and Tate's infield erasure.
McKain's single. Metzler's two-bagger
and Cissell'S sacrifice hoist meant a run
for the White Sox in the third. In the
seventh inning there were two out and
Chisox on first and second bases as the
result Of singles when Cronin let q
grounder from Shires bat go through,
and the second and last score was
registered by the home side.
Cronin's homer was his fifth of the
season and his third this trip. It was
q sound sock, which easily cleared the
grandstand barrier back of left center.
Goslin was a prominent factor in the
Washington attack. With a single, a
triple and a pass, he was responsible for
sending four runs across, and he scored
two others himself.
Judge made an error-rare for him
in the second session. The first base
man ran far to get to Hoffman's foul,
camped under the ball, then let it
bounce from his hands.
West and Cronin fancied the Chicago !
pitching. Each collected three hits
Cronin's were good for three Washing !
ton markers.
Boss was used at first base the last !
four innings and did well. His first |
chance was a foul from Hoffman ana
he made a nifty running Catch. Harley ;
also got hit, although a Scratchy one.
Gooch got along right wen at the far
corner. He accepted four chances, two
OF them somewhat difficult to handle.
He also socked a single.
Myer is to return to second base in
the last game of the series here. He
drew only a three-day suspension for
his little argument with Umpire Camp
