this style. And so easy have the
that the starting portsiderS have
is quite a record for pitchers in
boXmen.
The Nationals have trimmed no
southpaw more than once this sea-
son. Those they managed to get
the better of are Walberg of the
Athletics, Miller of the Indians,
Barnes of Detroit, Weiland of the
White Sox, Bayne of the Red Sox
and Pennock and Heimach of the
Yankees.
Walberg. though. has much more than
made up his lone loss to the Washing
ton outfit. He has licked the Nationals
no less than Ave times this season.
Shaute and Miller. the Cleveland left
handlers, share evenly in half a dozen
victories over the Capital club. Wells
Of the Yankees has two decisions over
Washington, and both Yde and White
hill of the Tigers have beaten Wash
ington twice. Grove of the Athletics
and Pennock and Heimach Of the Hug
men have trimmed the Nationals one
time each.
Hold Griffs to Five Hits.
Now Walter Stewart. portside pitcher
Of the Browns, has three victories over
third being scored yesterday, when the
johnson band was licked, to l, in the
second game of the set with the st.
Louis club. And Stewart seemed to find
the going just as easy yesterday as most
OF the other .left-handers who faced the
Nationals found it.
Stewart was misery with hits, yield
ing only five, and they were spread over
as many innings. All were singles. He
issued but four passes. and three OF
them were not given until the last two
innings. when the southpaw seemed to
be somewhat worn by the heat. But
for a wild chuck made by Third Base
man Dondero in the eighth inning. the
ST Louis left-hander would have scored
q shutout over the Nationals.
The Browns didn't mind the left-hsnd
pitching the Washington club started
against them. They raked Bob Burke
for seven safeties, two of them triples
and one double, during the Ave rounds
he toiled. and in one Of the rounds
punched four hits to get four runs and
sew up the ball game. Myles Thomas
hurled the last four innings against the
visitors, and was nicked for three hits
and tally.
Browns Fatten in Fourth.
The fourth was the Browns big in
ming. ManuSh started it with two |
base hit and moved up to third as
Schultz was heaved out. Kress raped |
a triple, then McNeely sent a roller to |
Cronin, and some cratic play followed |
that gave the Browns two unearned
runs. The shortStop's throw home |
trapped KresS on the base line, but |
Spencer, while attempting to run down |
Red, chucked against the runners back |
and the ball bounded to left field. That |
let Kress score and McNeely get to
third. Dondero's hoist to Goslin was
deep enough to allow McNeely to count |
after the catch. The fourth run was
due to Ferrell's triple and Stewards
single
Thomas yielded the Browns their last
r1In in his first inning on the hill. Nc
Neelv opened the sixth with single and
Dondero sacrificed. Terrell then sent ,
McNeely to the plate by crashing two
Dagger against the open stand well
back of left center.
The Nationals had no good scoring
chances before they put their run over.
Judge did single at the outset of the
fourth frame. but was forced out by
Rice and Sam never left first base.
Stewart was reached for a pass and
hit after two were out in the NTH, but
Couch, who grabbed BurkeS bat, drilled
into force-out. Cronin's single in the
seventh came after two were out and
Spencer skied to Schultz.
Griffs Get n Run,
Hayes got on at the beginning of the
eighth when Dondero pegged wildly
past Blue at first base. Thomas era
sure moved Jack to second, from where
he tailed when Rice singled after Judge
drew q pass. Goslin and Myer couldn't
solve Stewart, however the Goose pop
ping to the second baseman and Buddy
1ofting to the center fielder.
The Nationals had two on with one
out and the bases filled with two gone
in the ninth, but 1t meant nothing to
them. West scratched a single of
Stewards gloved hand to start the
frame but was forced out by Cronin.
Spencer walked. and after Hayes hoisted
out Ruel. who batted for Thomas, got a
pass. This put 1t up to Judge, and Joe
whacked grounder to Blue.
Myer did some fashy fielding. making
two corking stops to his left His
handling Of Blues hot shot in the
fourth inning was a dazzling piece of |
work.
A circus catch by McNeely In the
sixth kept a hit from Goslin. The
Goose hoisted the ball to right center
but Earl, while under full speed reached |
low with his glove for startling back
hand grab.
