the Nationals wind up
~ their series here tomorrow
AlphonSe Thomas Thomas
Jr., will endeavor to show those
lin charge of the White SoX how
wrong they were to sell him to the
Washington club in mid-June.
In the little more than six weeks
he has been with the Nationals
the pitcher, who didn't go so well
for the Southsiders here, has
chalked up seven wins with his
new club and he's itching to show
Chicago he is a far better mounds
man than they ever thought him
to be.
When Thomas began winning after
he moved to the Washington club, some
unpleasant things were said about him
I out here. He was charged with having
"soldiered" while with the White Sox;
accused of not giving his best 10
his club. And this talk has nettled
Thomas no little.
There's no basis for the charges, as
Thomas points out. Last season he was
the second best pitcher Of the White
Sox staff and this season at the time he
was scld to the Nationals he was the
only member of Manager FonSecaS S
clJrying CORPS with a better than .5Ou
winning mark.
So tomorrow Thomas will be out for
more than his eighth hill win as Ma
tional. He also will be doing all he can
to show up the crowd here that hao SO
little faith in him.
