NEED ANOTHER WIN
FROM PECK'S GANG
Open Thee-Game Series at
Cleveland Tomorrow.
Hayes SparkIeS.
BY JOHN KELLER.

WIN JnTee annual series
with rival clubs tucked
away, the Nationals will
invade Dunn Field in Cleveland
tomorrow, seeking the yearly edge
over a fourth rival outfit.
They have three games to play
with the Indians and victory in
one would land the Nationals on
the big end of the count in the
1880 tussling with Manager Roger
Peckinpaugh's bunch.
To date Johnsons henchmen have
defeated the Indians IL times in 10
meetings. Unless he is pressed into
action this afternoon in the final battle
of the season with the White Sox Fred
Marberry will go to the firing line
against the Tribe in the Cleveland series
opener. He has pitched we'll against
Peck's Papooses this year. and though
not as strong on the hill as he was
before suffering wrist fracture early
last month. MarbelTy has great hope of
extending his consecutive victory string
which has reached IL games.
Indians Are Vicious.
This hasn't been a particularly good
year for the Nationals on Dunn Field.
During their first visit to Cleveland
they played only two games and lost
both. The second time they invaded
Cleveland they got an even break in
a set OF six games. So there still re-
mains chance to overcome the Tribe
in the Cleveland end of its yearly fight
ing with the Washington club.
JACK HAYES is proving his worth to
the Nationals these days The util-
ity infielder who has played from
first to third base this season, certainly
is doing his share to help the club.
Sent into action at second base
week ago yesterday in Washington when
Buddy Myer hurt his wrist again, Jack
played a steady game against the Ath-
letics and looked good against the
Browns in the three games in st. Louis.
When Myer returned to the middle
station and Ossie Bluege was injured,
Hayes was shifted to third base and he
has done well in the three games here
Jack seems perfectly at ease anywhere
from second to third base. In his re-
cent four games at second he had 80
chances and handled all At third base
here Jack has had eight chances and
has not slipped. What's more, he has
hit much better than rated With nine
safeties, he shows batting average OF
$50 for his last seven games. He has
scored three runs and driven over as
many. A fine player to have around.
A FTER losing to the Nationals six
"A times in a row here and in Griffith
Stadium, the White Sox turned
and grabbed a game. They had to go
into the tenth inning yesterday, though,
- = -, L.. 1--s.-
The Sunday affair was bitter battle
between AL Crowder. veteran of several
campaigns in the big show, and Jim
Moore, recruit only two weeks up from
Little Rock of the Southern Association.
Crowder limited the White Sox to eight
hits, four in the first three rounds and
as many In the last three. Moore held
the Nationals to six, four in the first
four rounds and two in the tenth.
Crowder's lone pass was issued inten-
tionally, and so was one of Moore's
three walks. The clubs played errorless
ball, and not until two were out in the
tenth did the White Sox get to Crowder
for the two blows that upset the Ma
tionals. 1t was triple to right by Wat
wood and a single to left by Reynolds
that put over the big tally.
Each side scored in the second inning.
For the Nationals Cronin walked, and

put down a neat sacrifice bunt, and

White Sox Barnes singled and went to

followed with base hit. Kamn's loft

Barnes had to cling TO third. But Tate
drove deep one TO the National left
fielder and Ped offaf
the catch.
In the fourth there were Nationals
on second and first bases with only
one but, but Hargrave's long ny only
moved Judge to third base and Crowder
was of no help. After that not a Ma

Tate opened this inning with a single
and there were two on when Crowder
picked up Moore's bunt and threw to
the middle sack too late to get Benny.
However, Tate was caught at third
when Cissell attempted to sacrifice
while Watwood forced out Cissell and
Hayes shared Reynolds liner Again
in the ninth the White Sox left two on
the runway. With one out Barnes
singled but was forced out by Appling
It was whisker play, at that Myers
throw getting to Cronin just ahead of
the fleet Barnes. AS Kamm waved for

Manager Bush lifted the regular bat
ter and substituted the rotund Fother-
gill, who as pinch-batter had hit safely
in the first two games of the series.
Manager Johnson ordered Fothergill
passed and the strategy proved sound
for Tate ended the inning by ground
ing to Judge.
IN the tenth the Nationals had
i splendid opportunity to bag the game
but Moore turned back their big
hitters. Hayes beat out bunt toward
