in Loose Affair.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.


by the Browns during the
three-game series they are
to omen in Griffith Stadium
tomorrow, but in all nkellnooo
only one player new to Wasnlng-
ton fandom will start regularly
for the st. Louis club agalnst Ine
Nationals. He is Ted Gulilc'
elongated Missouri boy, Wno
seems to be making good In rlght
field. Gullic was yanked from tne
minors only last Fall, but he hut
and fielded so we'll during the
training period that Bill Kllleter,
the Browns new manager, declded
Ted was better than anything else
the club had at hand for service
in the garden cared for so long
hv Earl McNeely, erstWhile Ma
tional. and Frank MCGOWAN:
Cullic. who is % years old, bats ana
throws right-handed. He started ms
base ball career as an infielder, first pase
being his favorite position, puG was sas
shifted to the outfield when playing Iol
Muskoeee. He was with the Tulsa ana
wichita Falls clubs last year, the last
mentioned selling him to the Browns.
Gullic,s record with Tulsa last year
was impressive. He batted .316 In 13z
games. scoring 1873 runs and MAKING -
hits, including 43 doubles, three trlpIes
and 80 homers. He showed nice an am
in the field. too for he was creolteo
with making "a assists. With Wlchlta
Fails he made 80 hits, seven OF them
homers. for an average OF DIS ana
scored 10 runs.
All told. Gullic was a big noise in at
tack in the minors last year. ana nc
socked the ball savagely for the BroWhs owns
in Spring training: He 4s,,f mas fsr ooiie iis'
Gullic had to battle with MOTIFS
Padgro a hold-over reserve, Tor the
right field job with the Browns. For
/. time Manager Killefer figured he Woulo
Use Gullic against left-hand pitching
and Badgro, who swings from the port
side against the right-handers. But
Ted came along so fast he won the rlshI
field berth as an all-time affair.
IKE the Nationals, the Browns are
IL sticking right close to the lineup
that got them a first-dlvlslon notch ~
the league scramble last season. Lu
Blue at first, Oscar Menllo al t1;,,1 seII;ru,
Red Kress at short and that husthng
veteran Blackie O'Rourke at third again
compose the infield. With Gullic in the
gardens are two veterans, the nara
hitting Heinie ManuSh and Big ScnuiCe.
Iast wear the Browns had strong
nitching staff and they have carried
over such stars as Sam Gray, Al CToM-
der, George Blaeholder and the a,, lelIo
handed Walter Stewart, VINO SO oIten
rIIzzled the Nationals. Also lett from
last wear are Jack Ogden, Dick Coftman
and Chad Kimsey, the last-mentloneo
so GOOD at bat he often Is pressed INTO
service as a pinch-hitter. PromlhehC
among the new twirling talent with tne
club is Herman Holshouser, rlgn1-
handler bought from Baltimore. ,y.,,u
Having traded that old-timer Wally
Schange to the Athletics, Manager
Killefer is depending upon Clyde Man
ion and Dick Farrell for his catchlng;
However, he has in reserve bernaIo
Hungling, a veteran minor circuit re-
ceiver bought from Buffalo.
TAKE POWELL, outfielder returned oy
the Chattanooga club, and Don saw
idpe pitcher who has been Wltn the
Nationals since the middle OF last sea
son. are to be sent to the New haven
club of the Eastern League. Powen Is
to go under option, but President Grn
fifth has not yet decided whether ne WIN
keep string on Savage. Whiie Nv ~
with the Lookouts, Manager Johnson
still believes the Silver Spring boy wiz
be a worthwhile batter and neloer IN
another year or two and does not want
to let him go outright.
a FINE stand against the East,
n every way one considers it, the
Nationals made at home. seven
games played and six bagged by the
Rome side. The fastest pace set by any
club in either big league thus lar. Snarp
hitting and good fielding to BACK me
pitching accounted for the record. MOI
until the Nationals bats became Iiileo
fIoair 1pfpncp grew SelVe-
like did they drop game IN Grl1lth
Stadium during the current stay.
THIRTEEN proved jinx number Tor
L the Nationals yesterday. 1t was theI
thirteenth game of the season ana
they took a 9-to-0 walloplng from Clie s
Yankees that ended winning streak
that had stretched to eight games;
We'll. not so bad. The johnson oano
still is leading the league,
odd that the two shutouts suffered
this wear should have been 9-to.O
sffairs. Not odd that the Nationals
should have been licked eacn tlfne,
though. Each time they drew a As.aS planS
by the forfeit count - they 1orlelteo
everything but their franchise In the
league.
GAINsT the Yanks in the last
n game of the series the Nationals
cOulQ neltIleT III Iot ASIA ANS
collected but five safetles OIL George
Pippras and showed no kick in the three
scoring chances that came their way.
Three times they had as many as TWO
runners on the paths with but one out,
but each time the next two batters were
helpless before the Yank finger.
-Four errors two of them by catchers,
were made by the Nationals, and the
two by Ruel and Tate were quite costly
Ruel fooled a grounder hit IN front
of the plate by Combs right of the reel
and before Lloyd Brown could emo tne
round the Yanks had three runs. Only
one was earned. ,..,
Then Brown pitched excellently until
the eighth when the Yanks got TO nm
for FIVE hits to make their total at his
expense 10. They also got five runs IN
the round. but it was wild chuck to
center by Tate when he had player
trapped on the line that let over two.
Burke relieved with one out and
stopped the Yanks momentar1ly, put
they got to him for run in the ninth,
when they made two more hits tnat
gave them ~ for the day.
