Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-08-17

the Nationals DaggeQ the
opener of their four
game series with the rampaging
Tigers. Sam collected of the 10
hits cleaned off George Uhle and
three of the four hits pushed over
runs. AS the Nationals won, 3 to l,
the value of Vests clouting is
easily appreciated.
Sam Jones got credit for hurting the
Nationals to their sixth win In row
but Sam had to have some help. He
was found for eight safeties and four
passes, two of the passes and two OF
the safetieS being clustered in the
eighth round, when the Tigers put over
their lone marker.
It was the second pass of the inning
that filled the bases with two out and
Jones was derricked after issuing the
pass. Bump Hadley came on to dispose
of the ever dangerous Uhle deity, and
in the ninth the relief hurler set back
the Tigers in order.
Jones had filled the bases once be-
fore with two out, but was eased out OF
the difficulty by Heinie Manush. The
left fielder rushed back to the wall OF
the open stand bordering left field and
stretched for a spectacular one-hand
catch of a powerful drive from Gene
Desautels' bat Had that drive gone
safe the Tigers would have registered
three runs then and there.
Griffs First to Score.
In the second inning. the Tigers
threatened mildly to upset Jones. With
two out, Stone singled. and so did
Fastening, but Rice ended the threat by
making a sparkling catch of Desautels'
foul. The Tigers had another scoring
chance in the fourth, better one, but
they could not do anything with IT.
With one out Alexander singled ana
checked in at second when McManus
slammed for base. Stones best, how
ever, was q pop to Cronin, and West
made a fine grab Of Easterlings long
loft.
The Nationals, too. dented the runway
in the early rounds without getting
anywhere. Cronin strolled at the outset
of the second session. only to be shared
with Kuhel in two-way erasure. Ihen
West singled, but was forced out Dy
Rluere. Myer singled with two out in
the third, but was forced out by Rice.
The Nationals did better in the
fourth, though. Manush opened the
innine with a slashing two-bagger, but
II looked as though he would perish on
the runway when Cronin famed and
Kuhel let a third strike go by. West
again singled, however, and his piow
block.
Manush Great Help.
Roth sides wasted hits in the fifth.
Desautels scratched a single by Jones
TO begin the Tiger turn. and moved up
rs Uhle was tossed out. Funks pest
was foul to Bluege. and Koenig put
UP an easy chance for Rice. In the
Washington turn Myer hit for base
with two out, but Rice was helpless
against Uhle.
In the sixth the Tigers crowded the
sacks. but it did them no coed. With
one out Alexander smacked double,
and after McManuS famed Stone and
Easterling drew passes. DeSautelS holsted
the ball toward deep left, and 1t looked
as though the drive would hit the open
stand wall for a healthy hit. Manush,
though, ran far back and leaped for
spectacular one-hand catch that cost
the Tigers just about three runs.
In this round, the Nationals picked
UP another run. Manush was retired
when he hunted. but Cronin walked.
Kuhel's blow to left moved Cronin to
second from where he tailed when
West smote his third safety single to
right. Two were left on, when Bluege
and Spencer popped. Jones walked at
the beginning of the home seventh, but
Myer famed and Rice skied out before

ended the near-rally by tanning.
Tigers Dent Plate.
In the eighth the Tigers put over
marker and got Jones of the slab.
Gehringer doubled as a starter and
reached third when Spencer let one
of Jones pitches get away. Alexander
lined to Myer and following McManus'
walk Stone hoisted to Rice. The right
a. lnfA ftHrV
Gehringer bac kto third, but Easter
nng's single got the run over. After
walking Desautels and filling the bases,
Jones was derricked, so Hadley came
on to retire Uhle.
The Nationals Immediately countered
with another tally. Kuhel began their
eighth batting turn with hunted single
and romped over when West rifled a
triple to center. Sam was held at
third when McManus threw out Bluege
and Spencer whitfield. West was left
on the runway when Hadley hoiSted
to Funk in deep center.
Old man Rice showed plenty of foot
in getting Desautels' foul in the second
inning. Sam had to sprint far and
then lean across a field box barrier to
get under the hoist.
In the same inning. Sammy West
kept a hit from McManus by tearing
in from deep center for shoe-top
catch of Martyrs looper.
A conference was held by the infield
in the sixth inning to determine who
should GIT under Gehringer's high one.
Bluege won and made the catch while
standing on the pitching slab.
Bow-wow Meyers, the all-America
I.sm Gale d.
the first base coaching box for the
Tigers. His bark is worse than his
bite.
But four assists were made by Wash
sngton players and Myer was the only
infielder to make one. He had to wait
until the ninth inning for the chance.
The others were made by the pitchers,
Jones turning in two.
