BUMP ESSAYS
NEW ROLE
ASSTAR
By GARRETT WATERS

had his ups and downs this year
as Griff pitcher, but this fact
remains. He certainly has turned
in several nifty relief shifts dur
ing the course of the campaign.
The Bumps work has been ex-
ceptionally interesting recently.
In Boston on Labor Day, he STEP
ped to the rescue of Bobby Burke
and proceeded to hold the Bean
eaters while his mates won, TO
5, while in two appearances
against the C;ovaland Indians he
stopped rallies at their height, be-
ing taken out Of the box only be-
cause of a pinch batter in one Of
the Cleveland games.
Allows One Hit
Yesterday he was called upon to
do another rescue turn. This time
it was for big Fred Marberry, who
found it necessary to leave the
game in the fourth inning. The
st. Louis Browns were the oppo-
nents in this instance.
HadIey gave up one hit in
the five and twO-thirdS inn
ings he worked. The bingle
was credited to Larry Betten-
court, first man to face him in
the fourth. This single drove
over the third Brownie run of
the day, but that was all they
could collect.
In other words Hadley was
very stingy for the remainder of
the way. He retired the side in
order in every inning but the
ninth. In this frame he walked
Melillo, but struck out Goslin and
Jenkins and tossed out Kress, to
make up for it.
Hadley's efforts are encour-
aging coming at this stage of the
race with the Griffs in torrid
battle for second PLACE honors.
Also it brings to mind what q
help he would have been earlier
in the season when, the first place
fight was on with the Philadel-
phia AS.
No. 2 With Browns Today
In conclusion, Hadley has been
able to muster ten victories to
his credit for the season by his
work. He received credit for yes
terday's 6-to-3 Griff triumph over
the Browns, totaling his ten. He
has lost eight games in the
check-up.
The Griffs play the Browns
in the second contest of the
current series today. Lefty
Lloyd Brown is slated to hurl
for Manager Johnson while
Sammy Gray is the likely KILL
efer choice.
Big Fred Marberry hurt his
pitching hand during yesterdays
battle with the Browns. It was
this fact that forced him out of
the game in the fourth inning.
The Texan looked in for VIM
ming afternoon until Burns, the
st. Louis initial guardian, socked
him on the pitching hand with
a clout in the first inning. Mar
berry knocked the ball down and
threw Burns out at first, but ne
felt the pain from that time
until the fourth.
KuheTs Hit Timely
The lost effectiveness enabled
the Browns to get into the Scor,
ing column in the third and
fourth frames. Ferrell doubled
and came home on Stewards fly
to West in the third, and Schultz
followed with a home run for
their first two runs, while Goslin
was hit by a pitched ball and
Melillo singled in the fourth be-
fore Fred went out.
The Griffs, in the mean.
time, counted in each of the
first three innings and went
into a 4 to lead in the fifth
when Rice walked, West singled
and CrOnin doubled. They
sewed ii up in the seventh
when CrOnin and Harris
walked and Kuhel doubled the
pair across.
Sammy West led his mates at
the bat with three hits, all
singles. Cronin collected a single
and a double to co-Star.
