Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-08-23


Marberry has triumphed ir
both his starts. He has suffered
defeat in one OF his three relie1
tricks. AS a starter BraXton ha!
won twice and lost once. In re
lief roles he has twice savee
games. Quite record on the trl1
for the pair of them.
In fact, Marberry and BraXton hav
been the best bets of the Washington
mound corps this season. Each mas Woi

with only 81 victories this year. Ant
these hurlers, with Miles Thomas, Wh
did not join the club until the cam
paigning was we'll under way, are IN
only ones to show winning percentag
above 500. That's doing we'll for
club that is so far below the $3.50 breal
as is the Washington club.

He got only two hits. but one OF them

in the sixth inning raped the ball over
the left-field wall for his second homer
OF the year.
McManus Opens for Tally.
Marty McManus opened the way to
the Tigers lone tally, which was regis
tered in the second inning. He got
hold of one of Braxton's fast ones and
sent the ball to the left-field corner for
two bases. Cronin made fine stop OF
Shea's smash. but it was good for a
single, although McManus could not
whitfield. but when Hayes ran in for a
bunt that Carroll did not put down it
was easy for the Detroit runners to
work double theft. There was no one
at third to take Tate's throw and make
something of it. Then Carroll lofted a
deep one TO West and McManus crossed
after the catch.
From then on it was the Nationals
game. Braxton opened the third with a
corking two-bagger down the right-f1eld
line, and after two were out scored
ahead Of Goslin when the latter parked
the ball in the right-field bleachers.
A run was thrown away in the fourth
when Cronin, who had walked, with one
down, neglected to touch second while
on his way to the plate after Hayes
doubled to left. But real brace OF
runs was hung up in the fifth. Judge
began the inning with a single, and
raced to third when Rice hit for Il base.
GoSlin'S Sacriticial loft scored Judge and
moved Rice to second. Myers one baser
sent Sam to the counting block.
Carroll Is Yanked.

fray.
On the way to Washington with a
core elbow, Lloyd Brown may not be OF
much pitching value to the Nationals
for some weeks. The left-hander COM
planned of stiffness in the joint of his
pitching arm shortly after starting the
game in Cleveland Wednesday, and had
10 turn the battle over to Marberry
later. After reaching this town, Brown
declared he could not bend the pitching
arm, and Manager johnson decided il
best to send the hurler home for treat
ment.
Buddy Myer played whale of game
at second base yesterday against the
, Tigers. He went both ways for sensa-
tional stops, his play on JohnSon's
bounder in the seventh being especially
fine.
Everybody in the lineup except Gro.

went hitless for the fray, being unable tc
solve Yde the only time he faced him.

Goslin's liner in the fifth to a sacrifice

Westlng was a wow as a fielding

last appearance at the plate. But the,
