Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-13

R1Cu MdIOeIIy, Dig right
~ hand pitcher with the Ma
finals, isn't likely to score
as many victories this season as
he did last. A long lay-off, en-
forced by wrist fracture, about
robbed Fred Of a chance to equal
his 1929 winning record Of 10
games. But he is bound to finish
campaigning with his best mark
as member of the Washington
club, and has an opportunity to
round out the longest winning
streak for any American League
hurler this year.
Although driven from the hill yes
terday when the White Sox all but
wrested from the Nationals the opener
of a four-game series here. Marberry
nevertheless was credited with the VIC
tory. 1t was his fifteenth of the year
and his eleventh win in succession.
Three more successive triumphS and
Marberry will have surpassed the 1929
record of Is wins in a row hung up by
Wesley Terrell, star of the Indians
mound staff.
Marberry has not been charged with
pitching defeat since the Indians
laced him In Cleveland on June Q.
That was his third straight beating.
His first dsfeat Of the campaign came
after he had won three times in q row.
The White Sox then toppled him. He
came back to trounce the Red SoX, then
lost to the Yankees, and the Athletics
before bowling to the Tribe.
During his eleven-game winning
streak, Marberry has turned back every
one of the Washington clubs rivals.
He has licked the Indians twice and
has done the same to the Tigers, Yam
KEGS and White SoX. He has downed
the st. Louis, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton clubs once each. Quite record
for this veteran who not so long ago
was regarded as nothing more than
relief pitcher.
NEARBERRY was rather fortunate IN
1v1 checking up his eleventh straight
win yesterday, for after he seemed
TO have the game tucked away the
White Sox rose to chase him from the
hill with powerful attack, then
thumped Lloyd Brown and Irving Had
ley to an alarming extent The Ma
tons were In possession Of an S-to-O
advantage when the White Sox opened
ming. So determined was the Bush
mems onslaught that the Nationals
finally triumphed only to z. And to
do that well they had to kill on three
White Sox runners at the plate, two
in the eighth inning and one In the
ninth
The Nationals picked up six runs In
the f1rst two frames with five hits OF
Al Thomas and three of Garland Brax-
TON Uhn T1aRhad 10 a..
the second frame. The White Sox
kicked in with two errors to help upset
their pitchers. The one run to cross in
the t1rSt inning was registered after two
were out and the i've runs in Ttl1e sec
ond came after two retirements.
Then Braxton settled and pitched fine
ball, two errors backing two hits to
give the Nationals two runs after two
were out in the seventh. After Brax-
ton gave way to q pinch-batter In the
seventh, Ed Walsh and q recruit from
Littlerock, Jim Moore, pitched q good
round each.
.MARBERRY, who had yielded but
w I'VE hits in the first six innings,
lost his cunning in the seventh
after one was out and the White Sox,
with five hits, the last q homer, hit
into the lower left field stand by Rey-
nolds, collected i've runs.
Marberry was hit by the first batter
to face him in the eighth 50 Brown i'm
mediately was sent to the big fellows
relief. Two batters faced Brown and
Ryan, got the second hit of the left
handler and it meant a run. Hadley
was ordered to relieve Brown. Fother-
gill batted for Grouse and whacked
Hadley for single, sending over an
other run that left the White Sox only
one back of the Nationals.
This one run was in the keeping of
Mullavey. pushed to third base by
Fothergills hit. Mullavey, though, was
caught at the plate when Tate grounded
to Myer and Fothergill was cut down
at the counting block as he endeavored
to score from second as Cissell singled,
the fifth hit of the inning. Spencer
picked Tate of second base to end the
rally, but Hadley was in plenty trouble
in the ninth.
Watwood singled to open the session
and after Reynolds took a third strike
and Jolley popped out, wild pitch let
Watwood reach third base. This so up
set Hadley he passed Barnes. Red lost
little time in setting sail for second,
but Spencer lost no time in heaving
to Cronin. As the ball left the catcher,
Watwood headed for the plate. Cronin,
following fine one-hand catch, fired
on the way home with the tying tally,
was tagged out less than foot from
the final base.
