WITH TWO RALLIES
Marberry Blows Big Lead in
Seventh, Then Weaver
Takes Beating.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
~ ETROIT, Mich, September
16-There is something
- about Navin Field that
gets the best of them. Now,
you take the New York Yankees.
Regardless of how good they hap
pen to be going, they give strange
and erratic performances here
They do queer and odd things.
They generally manage to win,
but in odd fashion and in games
that last anywhere from two and
one-half to four hours.
Washington seems to have found the
same bugaboo here. The Nationals
when beaten by the Tigers Wednesday
looked bad. Beaten again yesterday
they looked worse.
The Washington pitchers must have
been fairly effective this year or Wash
ington could not be in third place, but
the same pitchers who were effective
against other clubs have proved weak
here.
Regardless of what happens in the
final game today, the best that WASH
son is break even and it is the first
time in years that Detroit has done
as well with Washington in seasons
play.
Marberry Blows Big Lead.
Clark Griffith, who remains the best
rooter among all the owners, probably
would have broken a few chairs here
yesterday. Mr.. Griffith remains pas
sionately fond of base ball and being
passionately fond of the game he would
have been moved to violent protest
had he watched his ball club blow
slX-run lead and lost to Detroit, 7 to
8. in 10 innings.
Fred Marberry lacked the old zip to
his fast ball. His mates stacked up
lead big enough to win for any pitcher,
but Marberry, after holding Detroit to
one run in three innings-a run that
vas not earned-found himself belted
for five sound wallops and four earned
runs in the fourth
Monte Weaver rescued Marberry in
the seventh when his lead had been re-
duced to one lone run and the tieing
run was on base.
Weaver has a sensational record for
a firSt-year pitcher and he looked as
good as his record for three innings.
but in the tenth he walked the first
two batters, saw the next one get an
lnfield hit and then. after getting two
strikes on Davis. the recruit first sacker
slashed a grounder between Weaver's
legs for single that ended the game.
Bridges Puzzles Griffs.
Tommy Bridges also went into the
game in the seventh inning and Tommy
again proved himself a Washington
nemesis. In the four innings that he
pitched Washington did not get a hit
off him, although he walked four men.
The difference between Bridges and
Weaver was that Bridges managed to
pull himself out of the holes that his
bases on balls got him into and Weaver
failed to recover.
The exit of Fred Marberry came sud
denly in the seventh inning. White,
leading off, hit home run. Walker,
the next batter, singled Monte Weaver
vas rushed to the box before he had
a chance to throw a ball in the
bull pen.
With two on and none out in the
tenth, Bridges was permitted to bat
for himself. He made two dismal at
tempts to bunt. Two strikes and moth
ing. The infield fell back. Bridges
bunted on the next pitched ball, laid
one down along third base line and
Bluege did not even have a chance to
field the ball. That filled the bases
and the end came moment later
Washington has not looked good in
fielding in this series. Even the great
Joe Cronin has stumbled on several
plays-and when Cronin stumbles the
entire Washington team stumbles That
Is the kind of player he is
In two days there have been two
good fielding plays. Stone ran into the
left field corner and made a leaping
one-handed stab of Spencer's long
drive while going at full speed. Rey-
nolds killed three-bagger for Gehringer
with diving catch of low and vicious
line drive.
Heinie Manush made one-third Of
Washington's hits, and one of them was
