H ETROIT, September 20
With nowhere to go in the
IL American League race the
Nationals and Tigers step
ped out today to set a season
record, or what is believed to be
one, by playing game in hour
and 90 minutes, which is unusual
these days of the rabbit ball. 1t
was hne for all concerned, except
the Nationals, for they were
licked Al.
-T,loyd Brown and Waite Hoyt were
mound rivals and beth turned in good
performances. Brown let the Tigers
have but six hits and three passes
while the Nationals nicked Hoyt for
only seven safeties and one walk The
Tiger hurler spread the hits well,
though. and but for his wild pitch
would have scored a shut-out. 1t was
the hectic chuck that let the lone
Washington run across.
AS 1t turned out, the Tigers sewed
up the ball game in the first inning
when Dale Alexander poled home run
to the flagpole Marty McManus was
on base when Dale hit. The Tigers
specialized in long distance clouting. In
addition to the homer, they combed
Brown for three triples
Snappy Fielding on Tap.
The fielding by both sides was OF high
order. Five double plays were achieved,
four by the Nationals.
In the opening inning the Nationals
wasted Rice's single and Cronin's two
Dagger, but the Tigers got brace OIL
tallies with one safety. With two out,
McManus drew pass. then Alexander
rammed a homer in the bleachers back
Of center field
The second was a scoring inning for
both clubs. Harris opened Washington's
half with a double and checked IN at
third base when Treadaway singled.
Hoyt then cut loose a wild pitch ana
Harris swept across the plate
1t was a triple by Akers that paved
the way to the Detroit marker in this
session. Bill opened the inning With
his long hit and Hughes. next up
walked. Hayworth then sent long ny
to Harris and Akers counted after the
catch
The Nationals had another scoring
chance In the fifth. but 1t was snuffed
bv~a double play. Brown singled to be-
gin the inning and pulled up at second
when Myer hit for base. Rice put
down neat sacrifice and, with Manush
coming up it looked as though the Ma
tionais might dent the plate again. But
Heirie lined TO Akers and the Tiger
shortstop stepped on second to double
Myer of the base.
Two Triples i'm Row.
The Tigers took advantage Of their
scoring opportunity in the sixth, though.
Brown had disposed of two OF them
when Alexander stepped into the ball
and larruped it soundly. He sent the
sphere past the f1agpole in center field
for three-base hit. Doljack almost
duplicated Dale's hit. He sent us
triple a little to the right of the line
of the big fellows hit. That let Alex
ander romp to the plate.
.Cronin did a lot of snappy fielding.
His play Of Doliack's grounder at the
start OF the Tiger fifth was particularly.
good He had to go far to his left for
the ball.
Treadway appeared to better advan-
tage around the third base. He made
a flashy one-hand catch of McManus'
liner In the sixth.
Alexander hit the ball hard each of
the three times he stepped to the plate.
His homer and triple were wallops. In
the third he forced out McManus but
Dale's drive almost handcuffed Myer.
