- ONNIE MACK'S young and
I talented Athletics may be 60
" ing places in this frenzied
American League flag free-for-
all. but they are finding it difficult to
convince the Nationals of any such
thing. They tried to do 50 yesterday
for the eighth time this season and for
the fifth time failed.
Their hold on second place threat
ened by the House of Mack, the Grif-
fifth hands rose in their might to re-
pei the invading host. The rising was
somewhat late. for not until the eighth
inning did the Nationals put on their
that made their 7-to-4 victory all the
sweeter.
EOR five innings it didn't seem that
J. the Nationals would have to stage
any thrilling wind-up to get the
game, for they had pummeled the left
handed Rube Walberg for a two-run
lead. In the sixth, though. Mickey
Cochrane of the AS came up to find
the bases loaded and with triple he
knocked three mates over the plate
and Walter Stewart to the club house.
That put 1t squarely up to the Ma
tionals to go after Walberg again.
Through two more innings they failed
to harm him, but they made him the
loser as they drove him to cover in the
eighth.
Dave Harris started the rally by
slamming the ball to the center field
corner for three bases Bob Boken,
who had been as putty in Walberg's
hands through three previous batting
turns, came up to hoist fly to left
and get the tying tally across. Then
came four successive hits to account
for two more markers and Waiperg' S
departure.
Myer singled. then dashed to third
and passed out as Sewell hit for base.
Buddy went into the game with an up
set tummy and the sprint around the
runway finished him. Ossie Bluege
came back to the battle to bat for Al
Thomas and whipped a single that
scored Sam Rice, running for Myer. A
double by Joe Kuhel scored Sewell.
Here Gowell Claset. another left
handler took up the pitching Fred
Schultz, running for Bluege, was nipped
at the plate after Heinie Manush
grounded to the first baseman, but
Goose Goslin pushed q single to left and
Kuhel went home.
A LII told. the Nationals got IA hits
"A while the AS got but six Four OF
these blows the AS got off Stewart
The loft-hander also gave three passes
and two of these hurt him in the sixth
Thomas relieved Stewart in the sixth
with Cochrane on third and two out and
threw third strike by Higgins. The
victory was Tommy's, but Al Crcwder
went in to pitch the last inning. Thomas
and Crowder each yielded safety.
COMETHING like 10000 turned out
- for the Sunday pastiming Maybe
they're saving up for the bargain
bill tomorrow.
Goslin and Myer contributed a pair
| of fielding gems in the second session
The Goose winged to the right field
corner to haul down Miller's dangerous
looking drive, while Buddy hustled far
to his left to check Cochrane's hot one
and flag his man.
Myers double in the fourth was q
liner that barely cleared the first base
mans head and sped on to the right
field corner. Only Coleman's quick re-
covery of the rebound from the fence
held the crack to two-baser.
A FTER filing the bases by purposely
n passing Sewell In the fourth
Walberg came dangerous near
forcing across a run. His first three
pitches to Stewart were wide of the
plate. He then managed to get two
strikes over, however, and Stewart
grounded into side-retiring out.
Bishop has been so uncertain as a
batter recently that Mack frequently
lifts him from the lineup. That's why
Williams was sent in after Max had
