The Nationals have chance to
take the series with the Yanks,
but it is a slim one. To beat the
New Workers over the season
stretch, the Capital forces would
have to sweep the impending
four-game series. And that's a
pretty big order.
The wins and losses in the battling
with the West this season are recorded
against the names of nine washington
pitchers Excepting Walter Beall, who
was with the club only short time and
got into a game long enough to get
credit for a win over the Browns, the
most effective of the Washington mound
corps against the West on won-and-
lost basis was Bob Burke, but Fred
Marberry pressed him closely for the
lead.
Burke Wins Five, Loses Three.
Burke won five games and lost three
Marberry won IL games and lost 4.
Burke scored two wins over the Browns
two over the White SoX and one over
the Tigers. He was licked once by the
Browns, once by the Indians and once
by the White Sox. Marberry trimmed
the White Sox four times. beat the
Browns and the Indians three times and
the Tigers once. The Tigers beat Mar
berry three times, the White Sox twice,
the Indians once and the Browns once.
Garland BraXton, Sam Jones ana
Iloyd Brown were the only other MEM
bers of the staff to finish with win;
ming percentage against the West above
500. BraXton defeated the Browns
Tigers and White Sox twice and the
Indians once, and lost to the Browns
three times and the other Western clubs
once each for a record of seven VIC
tories and six losses.
Jones won-and-lost mark was the
same. Sam toppled the Tigers three
times, the Indians twice, the Browns
once and the White Sox once. He lost
to the Browns twice, the Indians twice
the Tigers once and the White Sox
once.
Brown was fairly good against the
Tigers. He beat them twice and lost TO
them once. He also toppled the Browns
Indians were too much for him. Twice
Peck's pack handed the left-hander
trimming.
Below 500 Mark.
Ad Liska won three games and lost
four in tussleS with Western clubs. He
overcame the Browns, Indians and
Tigers, but was overcome by the Wnlte
SoX twice, while both the Indians ana
Tigers licked him once.
Myles Thomas and Irving Hadley nm
ished with 1888 records for their pitch,
ing against the West. Bump stopped
the Browns twice, the Tigers once and
the White Sox once, but the Tribe
downed him three times, the Tigers
twice, the White Sox twice and the
Browns once. Thomas beat the Indians,
Tigers and White Sox, but the Indians
beat him three times and each OF the
other Western clubs once.
Not until two were out In the nlntn
inning yesterday did the Nationals put
across their final win of the year over
the West. 1t was Joe Judge who pro-
duced the punch in the form Of a two
Dagger that tailed Jack Hayes from
second base. Mixing hits with White
Sox errors in the seventh inning, the
Nationals had battled to tie, and by
similar means in the eighth they had
assumed a lead, but the White Sox had
pulled to even terms with rally IN the
ninth.
Both sides gathered hits freely, the
Nationals making IA and the White Sox
10 during the fray. But the White Sox
also made four errors, and these helped
the home side considerably. Lloyd
Brown and Harold McKain were the
opposing pitchers at the outset, and for
five frames they put up great battle.
Brown in this time allowed but one hit,
and although five were made of NC
Kahn IL was only fleet work on the bases
by Goose Goslin that gave the Ma
tionalS their run with cluster OF two
safeties in the fourth.
Big Punch at Finish.
But Brown lost all his cunning in the
sixth, and was socked for five hits and
four runs before Bob Burke went to his
rescue. In the seventh the home crowd
slammed McKain, the White Sox fall
tered afield, and the game was dead
locked. McKain was hit hard again IN
the eighth for a Washington lead, but
Burke faltered in the ninth, and had to
give way to Fred Marberry. Fred was
reached for blow that sent over the
tally knotting the count for the second
time. But the big Texan became VIC
tor for the second time in two days
when the Nationals battered Grady Ad-
kins in the ninth.
Goslin doubled to open the Washing
ton fourth and crossed with the first
run Of the game when he sped from
second as Myer beat out grounder to
First Baseman Clancy. The White Sox
pitcher was trif1e slow getting to f1rst
to cover. He took the ball on the run,
and when he wheeled about was unable
to relay it to the plate to head of the
sliding Goose. With five singles, walk
and q sacrifice fly, though, the White
Sox gathered four runs in the sixth
before Burke stopped them.
Griffs Score Heavily.
The visitors were caught in the sew
enth when, with singles by Judge, Cos
lin. Myer and Cronin and errors by Cis-
sell. Kerr and Kamn, three runs were
made. It was Cronin's hit coming after
two were out, that put over the tying
marker. In the eighth single, by Judge.
Goslin and Myer, an error by Cissell
and a sacrifice by Burke were good
for two runs. With one gone in the
ninth, however, Kerr doubled for the
White Sox and scored when Berg sim
eled. This brought Marberry to Burke's
relief. Fred famed Taitt, batting for
McKain, but Atkins, running for Berg,
stole second and scored to knot the
count when Metzler hit for base.
Adkins went to the slab and hit Gro
min to start the Nationals ninth. Spen-
