~ through the West this
season, the Nationals will
have on the hill against the
White Sox tomorrow their premier
pitcher, Fred Marberry. Manager
Walter johnson is especially eager
to have his club make brave
showing in the inland sector this
time and figures Marberry Is just
the hurler to get the Nationals
away on the right foot.
In their first tour of the West this
year the Nationals won nine games and
lost two, but the last time out this way
they played only 500 base ball. winning
eight games and losing as many. They
ran into plenty of trouble here in June,
the White Sox licking them in three Of
five tussles.
With the Yankees threatening their
hold on second place the Nationals must
show some Improvement over their sec
ond swing around this sector II they
would remain well up in the money.
That's why johnson hopes for some
thing like cleanup this time.
MUCH travelling is to be done by the
1v1 Nationals before they get home for
another long stay. They'll be 16
days in this sector. in which they are to
play IL games-a double-header with
the Indians is responsible for the sched-
ule boost-then will jump to Boston for
q pair of battles with the Red Sox.
Philadelphia and New York also are to
be visited before the next long Washing
ton stand gets under way on September
10, although there will be some action
in Griffith Stadium before that date.
The Nationals are to jump from Bos-
ton to Washington for a tilt with the
AS on Sunday. August 3d. then will re-
turn for games with the Yankees on
September 4, 5 and 6.
CELEBRATING the conclusion of
~ their long home stand, the Ma
tionals yesterday took the measure
of the Red SoX in t-to-3, 10-inning
tussle, and thereby swept the series of
three games with their guests from Bos-
ton.
One was out in the tenth when lloyd
Brown combed Milt CASTOR for sin
gle. Then Buddy Myer got his first hit
Of the fray, single to right, that sent
Brown to third base. Here CASTOR
purposely passed Sam Rice, then turned
the pitching job over to Ed Morris.
Heinie Manush promptly smacked Nor
ris for fly to Tom Oliver in center, and
after the catch Brown checked in with
the decisive tally.
Getting runs was q difficult business
for the Nationals. They got 10 hits and
as many passes, all of CASTOR, and the
Red Sox made three errors, yet they
were behind until the ninth, when they
put over their third and tying tally.
Bump Hadley started against the
Hubmen, but Bump had no control and
was lifted after going two innings. in
which he was nicked for three SafetieS
and three passes that meant two runs.
Al Crowder then hurled well for six
rounds, although he was combed for q
run in the fifth inning. A pinch batter
eliminated Al when the Nationals put
on near rally In the eighth, so Brown
came on to slab two frames and get a
victory.
The Red Sox got but seven hits and
five passes all told and the Nationals
played errorless base ball, but it seemed
those Boston boys were able to make
much Of the little that came their way.
IADLEY'S wildness helped the Red
i i Sox in the first inning. Two passes
with a hit sandwiched between
filed the sacks with one out and Rhyme
dented the plate as Sweeney was re-
tared.
They scored OF Bump again in the
second session Pickering singled as a
starter and Berry walked. eisston, try
ing to sacrifice, forced out Berry and
Rothrock fouled out, but Rhyme singled
Pickering home
The Nationals did their FIRST tallying
In the third frame, a foolish throw by
Webb aiding. With one out Cronin
walked, then West cracked double t.
right Webb. with no chance to head
of West, persisted in throwing to SEC
ond base instead of toward the plate, so
Crcnin. who had turned third. raced to
the plate ahead of Pickering's relay Of
the right-nelder's heave.
Both sides counted III tbs fifth For
the Red SIX Rhyme singled with one out
and Webb walked with two out. Then
Sweeney hit Crowder for a single to cut
the run over. Msnush opened the Wash
1ngtcn half OF the round with single
and went to third as Cronin poled a
single to right. Manush made third
just ahead Of Webb's throw to that base
so Miller tried to get Cronin III first
with relay to Sweeney. But Sweeney
dropped the ball and on the errcr
Manush scored
Rice's triple and Manusa's single in
the ninth lifted the Nationals to a tie
out OF the fire in the round With the
bases fun Manush tried to get the big
run over after Rhyme mad made a good
running catch Of Kuhel's hcist to short
left. Rhyme wheeled and made a fairly
good throw to Berry. however, and
Manush YVES nailed tvs or :llree yards
from the plate for double play
But the Nationals put it across with
bang IN the tenth.
