This was day of idleness for
the Nationals, the game
originally scheduled with
the Indians having been
played as part of last Saturdays
twin bill, but tomorrow. action is
to be resumed at Griffith Stadium.
Bucky Harris will lead his Tigers
into Washington for ur-game
series and as the Harris hopefulS
are striving to wrest fourth place,
the last money position in the
race, from the Cleveland club
they may be expected to show
plenty of fight in the tusSling
with the Johnson band.
While the Nationals have licked the
Tigers nine times in Is starts, the De-
troit bunch is not to be regarded set
up these days. For month the Tigers
have been playing base ball Of first
division brand. They have registered
10 victories against ID defeats. Over
played to a record OF only II wins
against 16 losses.
The game tomorrow is likely to bring
into opposition on the pitching hill Sam
Jones of the Nationals and Waite Hoyt
of the Tigers. According to the Wash
ington pitching plans the somber squire
of Woodsfeld will go to the box. AS
Harris has been employing Hoyt, Sor-
rell, Whitehill and Uhle in rotation
during his clubs splurge Hoyt looks
the Tiger pick Whitehill pitched
against and beat the Yankees yester-
day and Uhle was likely to face the
New Workers today.
VICTORY for the Nationals tomor-
v row would raise their season total
of wins to II, the number of games
bagged in the entire campaign last year.
Their SEVENTEEN victory of the season
was scored yesterday in the final of
the series with the White Sox. The
Nationals had to battle desperately,
triumph Twice the White Sox were
in command Of the situation, but a
overwhelming rally that netted two
tallies put the Nationals over as 5-to-4
Yietors.
The win gave the Nationals sweep
of the short series and assured them
of an even break at least in their sea-
son set with the White Sox. They now
have defeated BuSh's bunch IL times
and lost to it but times, with 4 more
games to be played in Chicago next
month.
TECIL CARAWAY, lengthy left-hand-
d els OAl Tic AA4Al 4O1 b1tC WAhtC HCAg
was stingy with hits outside the
two Washington scoring innings. He
yielded 10 Safeties and were clustered
in the brace of frames In which the
Nationals dented the plate. Caraway
also gave five walks, two purposely.
The first of the Intentional passes did
the Nationals no good, but the second
was mixed with hits in the scoring
seventh that got the Nationals the
game.
The White sox collected 10 safeties,
too, OF two of the three home hurlers
used. Carl Fischer opened fire for
Washington, but Carl, although he
gave only three passes, was too wild
to be good. He lasted until the fifth,
though, when a drive from Fothergill's
bat so bruised a shin he had to retire.
Ad Liska, who relieved, let the visitors
get ahead in the seventh, but after
Washington had regained the lead
pitched well until he had disposed of
the first two batters up in the ninth.
Then he was reached for two singles
and gave way to Al Crowder.
Crowder proceeded to get two strikes
on Bob Fothergill and the latter after
fouling OF several pitches waved Yainly
to end the tussle.
TOLLEY started the White Sox to
their first two runs He opened the
up to third after Harris bagged Cissells
hoist, watched Clancy thrown out, then
Tailed as Mulleavy singled. The big
fellow began the fourth frame with a
single, but it looked as though he would
get nowhere when CiSsell famed and
Clancy skied to Manush Mulleavy
walked, however. and Tates one-baser
put Jolley over.
Then the Nationals brushed this
Chicago lead aside. Manush opened
the home fourth with hunted single
and checked in at third when Cronin
doubled. Harris long fly to Watwood
scored Manush and moved Cronin to
the far corner; then Kuhel tripled.
Bluege's two-bagger sent over the run
that put the Nationals in front.
Elooie went the lead, though, in the
nth. Fischer walked Kerr as q starter
and after Watwood popped to Kuhel
the Chicago runner swiped second.
Fothergll'S single of Fischers shin put
the pitcher out of commission and Kerr
on third. Kerr crossed as Jolley, first
to face LiSka, forced out the rotund
Fothergill. Caraways double and Kerr's
single in the seventh put the White
Sox In front again, but their advantage
did not last long.
Rice singled at the outset of the home
half Of the frame, only to be forced out
when Manush attempted to sacrifice.
Again CFonn doubled 10 SEM ManuSn
to third, SO Caraway Intentionally
walked Harris, hoping to set the stage
for a double play with filled bases.
Kerr only managed to knock down
Kuhels rap, hoWe$er, and could do no
more than toss to Mulleavy to get
Harris so Manush went over with the
tying marker. Bluege's one-baser sent
Cronin across with the big run of the
game.
MANAGER JOHNSON attended The
1VI game, but was not in uniform.
HE viewed the proceedings from the
Erandstand. May be out with the club
again tomorrow. If not, Capt. Judge
will continue TO direct play Hoping
TO get more power in attack, Judge sent
Harris instead of West into action
playing Harris in right and Rice In
center. When White Sox Threatened
to make trouble III the ninth, though
Harris was lifted, Rice switched to right
and West sent into center. T.. Fischer got
a nasty bruise when hit by Fothergiils
drive in the fifth. Shin will be black
and blue some time. .Bluege snapped
out Of long batting slump to collect
two doubles and single. Two of thC
hits did much to put the National:
