game here, then the Natlon-
~ ais will move on to Chicago
for four games with the one
Western club that has been soft
pickings for them.
Tomorrow JohnSon'S charges
will jump into a series with the
White Sox, the Red SoX OF this
sector of the American League.
Eleven games have been played
with Manager Lew FonSeca'S men
thus far in the campaign and the
Nationals have won nine.
If the Washington and Chicago
clubs run true to form they'll put
set in ComiSkey Park, Three
series have been put on by these
outfits this year and each had us
overtime contest-with the Ma
tionals the winners.
In Griffith Stadium In May the Ma
fionals and White SoX went IA innings
to a decision. This month in Washing
ton they put on a 10-inning battle. In
Chicago last month the CLUBS went
through IL innings to decisive count,
Manager JohnSon's pitching choice
for the series opener tomorrow very
likely will be Lloyd Brown. The Ma
tionals' premier left-hander has scored
over all of Washington's rivals except
ing the White SoX this season, ans he
is eager to get a shot at the Com4sHey
Park crowd.
Should Brown fail tomorrow, he
might get another chance at the foun-
dering FonSecanS before the Chicago
fitting ends.
MOST of Washington's pitcherH find
V1 it beyond them to finish what
they start against the Browns
this season. Fifteen games now have
been played with Bill Killefer's pests,
and in only three of them has Wash
1ngton starting pitcher gone the route:
Brown did that here on June II and
won his game. But when he went all
the vay in Sportsman's Park Tuesday
in the opener Of the current seyles he
took a licking. AL Thomas went nine
innings against the Browns in Griffith
Stadium on July 16, when he Fnrled a
shutcut to be credited with hls third
win over them in successive days for
a modern base ball slab record.
But the Browns have made it tough
kIcQQIIlS lUI llIC 1NdG4OIlaLo tul fAAlS
corps at other times.
Monte Weaver has been the main
sufferer in this battling with the St.
Louis bunch. Four times has he started
against the Browns. but they've always
chased him. And they have three wins
over him TO the two beatingS he has
given them Bob Burke has tried twice
and so has Al Crowder to take the
measure Of the Killefermen. Burke has
had two lickings and Crowder one
from them.
In two of four starts against this
club. the left-handed Brown couldn't
stand the gaf although he has $3.50
record for his pitching tits with it.
Dick Coffman failed to make the grade
in his one start against his former
teammates while Carl Fischer, before
his transfer to the Browns took a beat
ing from them without going the route.
This st. Louis club is no bargain for
Washington'S pitchers.
A TTACKING- sharply behind good
~ pitching by the left-handed Walter
made it two out of three in the set
with one to be played. They leaped on
Crowder IN the early going and piled
ND ell their rurs before the Nationals
sould get at the southpaw who had
beaten them twice before this season.
Stewart faltered toward the finish,
but when the Nationals threatened to
damage him seriously he braced in the
ninth and they took their 6-to-4 trim
ming with runners stranded on first
and second bases.
The Browns helped themselves to II
safetieS, all but two made OIL CroWder
in the five innings he worked. The
ether hits were made oil Bob Burke.
on Stewart, the Nationals got eight
Aits, seven in the last four frames.
Two home runs were sent over the
right field pavilion roof to get some
noise out of the few hundreds in the
stands at SportSman's Park. Bruce
Campbell sent the ball soaring above
The structure at the outset OF the tltth
inning for the Browns last tally. TWO
were out in the seventh when Sammy
West bounced the ball of the roof Tor
Washington's first tally and MS slHth
circuit clout of the season.
CCHAREIN'S walk, Burns single,
y GosIin's two-bagger and Schulte's
long foul to Manush got the
Browns three runs before Crowder
seemed to realize he was in ball game
Then Al stepped them for a pair oil
rounds. but in the fourth he was

With one out. Ferrell singled and
pulled up at third when Levey smote
for two bases. Stewart surprisingly
singled the pair over the counting
block
The Browns got their nits again in
the fifth, but only Campbells homer
helped them. Goslin singled and
Schultz beat out bunt to Bluege. The
third baseman's throw was wild, pulling
kuhel off first so BlueCe was charged
with an error when the Goose con-
tinued to the far corner as Schultz
crashed into the initial sacKer ana
bowled him over.
Goslin was caught at the plate. how
ever. when Melillo bounded to Bluege
and Schultz was nipped as he tried TO
plfer third base while CroWder had the
ball Then Ferreu hoisted out; weird
round.
Twice when the Nationals had
chances to get somewhere lefthanderS
were at bat against Stewart and he
