18-Run Game, 11-Run Inning
GriffS' Best-White Sox
Now No Bargain.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

AN son are made by the
" Nationals it seems they
must have the Indians
around. Their first record high
score for a game this year was II.
And it was registered at the ex-
pense of the Tribe. In the meet
ing with Peck'S pack yesterday in
Griffith Stadium the Nationals
eclipsed that record by putting
over 18 runs. Twice this season
have the Nationals tailed as
many times as IL in one inning,
and on both occasions the Tribe
was the victim. 1t was an 11-run
session that concluded the Ma
tionalS' attack in yesterdays tilt.
That 17-run licking of the Tribe was
handed out by the Nationals in the sec
ond game of double-header in Cleve-
land on July 19. Then the johnson
band hammered opposing pitchers while
Fred Marberry scared to victory. The
first time the Nationals scored as many
as IL times In an inning this season
was In the game here on June rs. Then
they tailed Is times to tlounce the
Tribe, putting over the IL runs in the
seventh inning.
Too bad some of these record scoring
affairs could not have been reduced to
some extent and the surplus runs put
to good effect last Saturday, when the
Nationals were slammed twice by Pecks
papooses.
nERHAPS the Nationals may need
some of the extra runs when they
encounter the White SoX in Grit
fifth Stadium the next three days. These
proteges of DOME Bush have not been
so kind to the Washington cause this
season. The Nationals have licked the
White Sox just eight times in Is starts.
Early in the season the Nationals
found the Bush organization rather easy
to take into camp. In the four-game
set here in May the White SoX were
licked three times, and in Chicago in
June they were defeated twice in three
starts Then DOME Bush's peppery di-
rection began to have its effect. Head
ing the Western invasion here late in
June the Pale Hose held the Nationals
to an even break in four games, and in
Chicago last month took three of four
engagements
True, the White Sox have been I'M
able to do a thing since coming East
this time, but they have been playing
the Athletics, and recently no club has
been able to do much in tussles with
the world champions. Now engaged In
the Yankees, the Nationals will have to
put forth their best efforts in the i'm
pending scraps with Bush's bumptious
bunch.
TOPPING the Indians. Is to s. yes
i terday In what for seven and one
half innings was little more than
an endurance contest, the Nationals
made the game that was to be played
this afternoon the rubber of the series.
The Nationals quickly picked up a
lead at the expense of Mel Harder
usually clever-perfoFming right-hand-
er, and increased it off Roxie Lawson, a
rookie just up from Terre Haute of the
Three-Eye circuit. But as the game
progressed Sam Jones wore considerably
and as the Nationals went into 'their
eighth inning they held but two-run
advantage
Bib Falk having batted for Lawson in
the indians eighth turn, Pete Jablo- |
noyski was on the hill when the Ma
tionals came up and what they did to
Pete was plenty. They combed him for
seven safeties and he granted four
passes and made two wild pitches. Re-
suit, IL runs. All were unearned,
though, for the Indians made two errors
during the frame. But the runs count
cd, unearned or not.
The. Indians kicked up again in the
offensive. No wonder, considering what
had happened.
THERE was plenty of hitting in the
l. game. The Nationals collected II
safeties. Harder was nlcked for
nine before he was relieved by Lawson
in the fourth. Lawson gave up two IN
the sixth, one homer driven over the
right-field wall by Heinle Manush, with
a mate on the runway. Then seven on
JablonoWski. The Indian hurlers helped
the Nationals with 10 passes.
The Indians nicked Jones for dozen
hits, FIVE for extra bases. And Sam
walked four. Only one Of his walks
scored. though.
On the washington side everybody ex-
cent Jones hit and everybody scored.
Seven of the Is Indians in the game hit
safely with Ed Montague and Earl Az
erill leading the attack. Montague just
wouldn't be kept off base after his first
batting turn. He collected triple, two
singles and a pass.
THAT l1-run eighth was a spree for
l. the Nationals. Manush walked as
starter Montague fumbled
Cronin's grounder and Kuhel sacrificed.
Jabby passed West purposely, filling the
bases. The strategy went away when
Joe Sewell picked up Bluege's roller and
threw between brother Luxe props,
letting two runs cross. Two passes fol-
lowed, then seven successive hits. And
two wild pitches were chucked IN Tor
good measure. Not until Spencer drove
into double-play were the Indians in
control of the situation.
In the inning, Jablonowski had IS
batters face him, six Of the Nationals
stepping to the plate twice. None hit
twice in the inning, but four were on
the runway twice and two completed
the circuit twice.
Nov the Nationals have three in
IN jured first basemen or two first
basemen and one outflelder, as one
may care Judges hand hurt Sat-
urday still is too sore to permit him TO
play -. Kuhel had a thumb split yes
terday and yesterday Art Shires
banged into a wall during outfield
practice and knocked a few muscles
wrong but Art is ready to play
again all others are in good trim
that is, all but Burke g. =. the
stringbean left-hald pitcher still is
nursing sore finger on his left ripper.
