Hogsett Was Likely Choice
Today-BengaIs Romp
to Sunday Victory.

Tigers the Nationals prob
ably will face a lot of left
hand pitching, 1t seems that
Manager Bucky Harris, instead OF
sending his capable Highlander,
Waite Hoyt, into action here as
starter, plans to call on his two
prize southpaws, Elon HogSett and
Earl Whitehill. This big Indian,
Hogsett, has been mighty effective
against the Nationals at times
and so has Whitehill. Since he
showed here last, Whitehill has
been setting the league aflre
with his slabbing, too.
Harris was expected to have HogSett
on the hill this afternoon and quite
likely will finish the series with White
hill in action tomorrow. Manager wall
ter johnson was to counter with Irving
Hadley today according to overnight
plans. Tomorrow the home pilot prob
ably will make the game tusSle be-
tween southpaw slabnen by employing
Lloyd Brown.
Getting licked yesterday reduced the
Nationals advantage over the third
place Yankees to two games. The New
Workers are crowding the Nationals too
much for comfort, so Manager johnson
may use Dave Harris instead OF Sam
West in the outf1eld against the Detroit
lefthanders. That would mean the
shifting of Sam Rice to center field with
Harris going into right. Harris might
be much more effective at bat than
West against the southpaw, johnson
holds.
THIS Detroit Club is no bargain for
L Al Crowder. Ever since he has
been in the league the Tigers have
troubled him. It's the one outfit that
seems to have. the sign on him. He has
scored few decisions over the Tigers
and they have licked him often. In
the fitting yesterday at Grifath Stadium
the General got just about the worst
punishment ever handed him by De-
troit. The Tigers Socked almost every
thing he tossed up TO them and when
they were not hitting their way to the
base-paths Crowder's wildness was put
ting them on.
three of the four hits cleaned of the
General in the first inning and the only
one of him in the second being good
for two bases each. With such pounding
they had the game in hand right after
its beginning. What they did not do
to Crowder they did to Ad Liska, three
of the seven hits of the relief hurler
being doubles. Then they turned on
Carl Fischer and slammed his left-hand
stuff so soundly that at the finish Of

A LII told, the Tigers collected II safe
"A ties, eight of them two-baggers.
They also got four passes and two
of their batters were hit by pitched
balls. Crowder kicked in with wild
pitch and there were five Washington
errors. No wonder the Harris horde
romped to victory!
They hoped on Crowder for five runs
in the first inning. Two doubles and
run followed the first retirement ana
after the second retirement Crowder
filed the bases by walking two. Along
came Ted Easterling with double ana
