IN ETROIT, July 14.-Wash-
ingtons ball club misses
- the telling punch Of
Heinie ManuSh. and until
his underpinning is sound enough
to permit his returning to the
lineup, it will not find the going
out this way very smooth. Since
Heinie was forced out Of action in
Boston last Wednesday, the Ma
tionalS have lost three Of five
games played and in each of the
games lost one good wallop would
have downed the opposition.
Manushs vigorous batting had
the Washington club moving at a
fast clip. Without it the club GER
tainly has not been impressive.
How soon Manush will be back in
the game none can tell. Heinie donned
his uniform yesterday and went through
a brief workout. but the leg injury
panied him greatly. He can swing a
bat without troubling the hurt. but he
can not run. There still is consider

the doctor attending Heinle ordered
the player to continue the use OF ice
packs to allay the inflammation.
When the Nationals reached here
Friday they were told Manush prob
agly would be ready to play today.
However, ManushS doctor after eX-
animation yesterday advised the player
to proceed cautiously. Any aggrava-
ton of the trouble might result in an
enforced lavoff of several weeks the
doctor told Heinie So it does not seem
Manush will be in there regularly at
env time in this series with the Tigers.
Too bad, for the Nationals need him
sorely.
DEATEN 5 to by the Tigers yester-
D day in the third game of the series
the Nationals dropped to second
place in the flag race, the Athletics
moving ahead by virtue of their win
over the Browns. The Nationals had
no telling punch. their base running
was none too good and their early
pitching was poor. That they Jared
as we'll as they did was due to an error
by Dale Alexander, big Tiger first
sacker. II opened the way to three
unearned runs.
sam Jones opened fire against the
Tigers. but he made a sorry showing.
He filed the bases with only one gone
n the first inning, but managed TO get
oft Of trouble then. After getting
t'7ree-run lead. though. he yielded flVe
hits in the same inning. the third, and
the Tigers got back al the runs Roy
johnson oDened the Tigers fourth with
2 triple and the blow brought Bob Burke
IN SANS relief. Bob got along right
well until the eighth. when he was
nicked for the decisive tally.
The Tigers got II safeties, on
jones. They also got four passes. Jones
issuing three, but none of the passes
figured in the scoring Every man in
the Tiger lineup hit safety.
VICTOR SORRELL. Highlander, did
the finging against the Nationals,
and though he was not so steady,
he was generally effective in pirches.
Nine hits were made of Sorrell, but
thew were cleaned by six players. OSSle
Bluege made three. Sorrell gave six
walks and uncorked two wild pitches.
One of the passes and one of the wild
chucks helped in the tallying. But
Sorreu more than offset that wild
pitching by singing over the winning
run in the eighth.
Back of SoIreu the Tigers made four
double-plays, one nipping IN the BUD
a promising rally. Outside of Alex
anders error the Tiger pitcher was
brilliantly supported, Charlie Gehringer
at second base played particularly
fashy game. He seemed all over the
territory between first and second, cut
ting down well-intended Washington
drives.
DLUEGE started the Nationals on their
ID scoring way when he opened the
third inning by scratching a single To-
ward third base. Then Spencer got
t1aVr tn al
the far corner. Jones tried TO sacrl-
fee. but only popped a foul to the
catcher and Myer hoisted out. The
bases were filled though, when Rice
grounder got away from Alexander ana
a wild pitch allowed Bluege to count ana
the other runners to move up. Cronn
came through with single to score
two more. :,
That did not daunt the Tigers at all.
They landed on Jones in their half Of
the frame for five singles and a Sacrl-
fee fly to even matters. Funk, Geh-
ringer and Alexander hit in succession,
Funk crossing on the third hit. Nc
Manus' long left to West got Gehringer
home and Alexander was put over by
Stones and Hayworth's singles, the
last hit being made after two were out.
In the fourth the Tigers went ahead.
After JohnSons triple drove Jones from
the slab, Funk, first to face Burke,
knocked a long fly to West that meant
a run.
By poor work on the bases the Ma
tionals kicked away scoring oppor-
tunity in the sixth inning. Harris and
Judge walked and Vests single to right
filed the BASES with none out. Harris
should have scored on Vests hit, but
he hung around second base evidently
fearing a catch although Judge was
away fretn first promptly and all but
ran over Dave Then for no good rea-
son Harris left third as soon as Bluege
hit the ball, never stopping TO see where
the ball was going. Ossie's drive was a
liner TO KOenig at short so Harris was
doubled of the far corner easily. Then
the scoring chance passed as Spencer
fouled out.
It was a pass to Harris that blszed
the way to the tying tally. The walk
opened the Nationals eighth. Judge
sacrificed. Harris went to third as
West grounded out and crosses when
Bluege hit for base.
The Tigers came right back 10 get
the game. Koenig singled 70 start
their eighth turn then HayWorth sacrl-
feed and Sorrell singled over the big
run.
a RT SHIRES IS proving handy
- pinch inter He went up for Burke
Al the ninth and cracked a single
70 left. The hit dio not help for Myer
Tying TO sacrifice, popped to Alexander
and Rice for the second time in the
lame drilled into double-play.
The hit was Shires third in flve time:
dp as a pinch batter, Two of his three
pinch hits won games.
