v Y In the current American
League pennant race,
the Nationals brook little check
ing these days. Their winning
string snapped Friday by the
White Sox, Manager Johnson S
charges turned on their Western
foes yesterday in Griffith Stadium
and lambasted them to 2.
The Nationals tucked away the
game in short order, doing all
their tallying in the first four
frames, when they connected for
II of their 13 hits.
Vic Frasier, right-hand hurler who
has yet to score a victory this season,
was the main victim of the Wash
ington offensive Five of the 10 hits
cleaned off him before he retired with
two out in the third inning were OF
the extra base class. One OF the blows
was homer driven into the sun parlor
back of left field by Carl Reynolds, a
former teammate of Fraiser'S.
Alphonse Thomas followed Frasier
to be nicked for run, but the Ma
tiunals got nothing off Paul Gregory, 4
rookie the Chisox brought up from At
lanta, and Harold McKain.
Big Day for Manush.
Heinie Manush, socking single, a
double and triple in the order men,
toned the first three times he stepped
to the plate, headed the johnson bands
attack 1t was the first three-hit game
of the campaign for the big Dutchman.
Everybody in the local lineup crashed
the hit column of the box rcore.
al Crowder did the fiinging for the
home side and it wasn't the Generals
best exhibition of the year by far. Five
Of the White Sox whacked him for the
eight hits he gave up, and those who
didn't get hits got passes. Seven walks
were dished up by AL and twice during
the pastiming the visitors crowded the
bases. Yet he scored his fifth win Of
the year.
On one of the base-filling occasions,
a f1ashy double-play negotiated by the
Cronir1- Meyer Judge combination got
AL out of trouble. The next time,
though, the White SoX res 'Stered a
score and they did so again later in the
game when they clustered three safe
ties in an inning. The White Sox
found it easy to get on the runway but
else, as their total of IL stranded on
the bases attests.
Griffs Attack at Outset.
The first four Nationals up in the
initial frame hit Frasier. The attack
was started by Myers triple and Buddy
walked In when the White Sox hurler
baked Then singles by Manush, West
and Cronin were good for another tally.
rsx NEoT dn1Ihln
after two were out in the second inning
meant run and Reynolds four-baser,
doubles by Judge and Spencer and a
long single by Crowder accounted for
three scores in the third. ManuShs S
three dagger and Vests long fly in the
fourth frame put over the final Wash
ington tally.
Carey Selph, rookie third sacker,
drove home both White Sox scores. In
the third round he singled after Frasier
had walked and Seeds had hit for a
base. with a double in the seventh,
Selph pushed over Seeds, who had
cracked a one-baser.
Blue. who does a lot of talking for
the White Sox on the field, was partly
to blame for Frasier's balk In the nrst
that scored Myer. AS Vic was about
to pitch to Manush the White Sox first
baseman decided to squawk about Base
Umpire Dinneen standing behind the
initial sack instead of moving into the
infield when a runner was occupying
third base. The squavk was so LOUD Il
unpoised FRASER, who checked his
wind-up. Immediately Chief Umpire
Moriarty ruled a balk and waved Myer
from third to the plate. Then the en-
tire White Sox club did a lot OF
souawking that did nothing more than
DELAY play several minutes.
Crowder was so unsteady most ol
the way that Manager johnson had
four pitchers warming up at various
times.
Kress, the visiting shortstop, MADE
the banner fielding play when IN the
first frame he rushed to short center
for a one-hand grab of Judges looper
Two Nationals were on the runway al
the time and West would have beer
doubled off second had White SoS
fielder thought to cover the Dag.
Myer leaped to spear with. one hanc
Kress' liner in the ninth, then threw
to Judge to double Selph of f1rst base
and end the fray.
