Went Down Fighting

They nearly did so yester'
day. The visitors went down
fighting in the first game. The
tieing run was on second base
when the last man was out.
washington didn't get the break
1t hoped for. The law of aver
ages, plus spirit and determine
ton and known ability to rush
up and snatch victory in the
last few strides, automatically
gives the Griffs the better Of
the next such break.
Both Stewart and Thomas
pitched we'll and the same law
of averages that will give Wash
ington an early break in this
series will probably make Stew
art invincible the next time
he appears on the hill. That's
baseball as sure as you're alive.
And the next time this guy
Hubbell appears against Wash
ington, he can't expect to get
off so easily as he did yester-
day, unless he outsmarts them
again, by changing after the
second inning from a steady
screw ball diet to fast ball
and curve.

Something Like Matty's

Carl Hubbell's screw ball
looked to me to be nothing short
Of Chritsy Mathewson's famous
fade-a-away, although these
skeptical old bifocaled eyes Of
ours are not yet ready to OBJ
serve Hubbell as a second
Mathewson.
I don't believe a Mathewson
would have buckled, even ever so
slightly in the last two innings
as did Hubbell. I don't believe
q MathewSon would ever have
let an aggressor get so near to
tieing the score as Washington
got on those occasions.
I would be the last man in
the world to take any credit
away from the masterful Mr..
FIubbell and if he lives long
enough and clean enough, he
may sometime become a Math-
ewson. But, as the famous
negro minstrel used to say,
s'next week somtime maybe
but NOT NOW"
AS a Washingtonian looking
on with due mixture OF civic
pride and having nurtured the
1888 Griffmen within our breast
since Kid Cronin took hold OF
the team last February, I be-
| lieve that before a week IS out.
. the Griffmen will show the
New York Giants something.

MAY RACE
W|NO0KA

Those who follow the bangtails
perked up considerably today as
they anticipated the match race
between Equipoise and Winooka,
another wonder horse from Aus
tralia.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney,
owner of Equipoise, has notified
Rufe Taylor and Michael Poison,
manager and trainer of Winooka,
that he will agree to a match race
at the United Hunts race meet
ing, Belmont Park, N. Y, on
November 7.
Whitney made only one condi-
ton, explained in his telegram to
Naylor: I'm fairness to the Amer
lean people I ask that Winooka
be entered in open competition
against horses capable of proving
him to be worthy of the match
with Equipoise."
Winooka probably will meet
jamestown, George D. Widener's
rejuvenated runner.

SCREW DRIVERS

CWritten Expressly for International
News Service)
POLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK,
Oct. 4.-Carl Hubbell had too
many "screw balls" and Wash
ington didn't have enough screw
drivers yesterday afternoon.
The Polo Grounds were
jamned with $4,000 people, and
the only vacant spots in the
park were the bases, while the
Senators were at bat.
In the second inning, Manager
Cronin managed to get to first
on sort of a personal appear
ance tour.
Bill Terry, the Giants first
baseman, asked him how he felt
and Cronin replied:
81 don't know, I'm a stranger
here myself"
Washington made no runs in
the first inning, and after working
hard, managed to tie their own
score in the second.
In the third inning, they slowed
down a little. They figured they
could make just as many runs
without working so hard.
But in the next inning, they
managed to get a run. Up until
now, they had hung up so many
ciphers, that their part of the
score board was beginning to
look like an advertisement for
doughnutS.
Cronin's excuse for yanklng
Stewart was that he was saving
his arm for the 1884 series.
Three out of the four errors
in the first game of the series
were made by Buddy Myer. The
way Myer fumbled showed that
he'd made a wonderful hitch
hiker, as his fingers were al
thumbs.
Sewell managed to get to thlrc
in the eighth and Cronin lmmedl
ately planned to give him g
house warming, but, before SeWel
could get there, the home hac
been foreclosed.
The Washington times., 1933-10-04

President Clark Griffith, and
his official family. weren't in
the least bit downcast this
morning as the second game
stood in the offing.
1--WE can mop up for those
Giants" was the battle cry,
and somehow or another we
are inclined to agree with the
pronouncement. I find the
Giants no miracle team, Hub
bell thrown in, and a couple
of more innings yesterday and
the Griffs would have caught
up with him.
Finally-I can assure you on
good authority today that
Bucky Harris will be the next
Manager of the Boston Red
SoX. He's already receiving
congratulations from baseball
people and won't that be a
pretty set-up in Boston with
Bucky Harris in the Red Sox
saddle and his starched bosom
companion Of Washington,
George P. Marshall as a foot
ball mogul in the same town?

HURL TODAY
BY GARRETT WATERS
Times staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-The gall
lant washington Griffmen, flag
bearers of the American League,
today maintain they will win the
1888 world series despite the 4-to-
2 reverse suffered at the hands
of the Giants yesterday.
"Why, we can't let a little
thing like a bad beginning
bother u.s." the Griffs said col
Iectively today. The Giants.
with Hubbell in the box are
good, there's no doubt about
that. But we're one better and
will prove it.
PLAN COMEBACK
Yesterday, Manager Cronin and
his gang lost because they ran
afoul of Carl Hubbell, in par
ticular, and the Giants, in gen.
eral, at a moment when they
were inspiration itself. But to-
dav is another day, the Griffs
contend, and they aim to stage a
comeback.
General Alvin Crowder. ace
right-hander, will be out on that
mound for the Griffs today. Hal
Schumacher, also a right-hander,
will be his opponent. Both pitch
ers have been thorough work.
horses for their respective teams
this season, but the GriffS have a
world of confidence in Crowder.
That game yesterday was truly
one for world series fans to get
steamed up. Hubbell, for example.
lived up to every bit Of pre-serleS
dope that had been written about
him by retiring the Grffs almost
as fast as they could travel to the
plate.
Griffs Show Spirit
But, hold on now. This was
during the early innings. Later,
or in the eighth and ninth frames,
respectively, the fighting spirit
which has characterized the play
of the Griffs throughout the
American League campaign as
serted itself when Cronin and his
gang threatened, not mildly but
dangerously as Hubbell and the
entire Giant team looked around
in utter amazement as to what to
do about the matter.
In the eighth Goose Goslin
caught hold of one of Hubbell's
shoots and sent it crashing into
the right field stands foul only
by inches. Had the ball dropped
fair the Griffs would have had
three runs as two were on base
at the time.
Then in the ninth the bases
were filled before Hubbell or any
of his team mates could get a
batter retired. The side was re
tired, however, as Hubbell put
forth a final effort by forcing
Kuhel to ground to Ryan, Bluege
to fan the ozone and Sewell to
bounce to Jackson, one run scor-
ing in the interim. 1t was tense
ending just as the beginning Of
the game was tense when Hubbell
struck out Myer, GoSlin and
ManuSh in succession.

both out OF town.
Which is to say that Washington
looked just like any other club that
isn't hitting.
And without Hubbell, the Giants
would have been merely another ball
club.
When Washington gets to clouting
that ball, and they will be doing that
before this series is over, they should
swarm over the Giants like bees out
of burning log.
Any sort of a break for Washing
ton in its eighth or ninth inning turns
at the bat would. have turned that
initial game topsyturvy and both ends
too.
Nothing in the world but guy
named Hubbell beat Washington, and

sinker figures
to give them Mancuso
about as much trouble as Hubs
screw ball. You'll note that only
one short fly ball was hit off Hub
and not many more will be hit OIL
Hal.
Crowder hasn't had a Shutout
all year, so we figure to score on
him. I told you to disregard bat
ting averages in figuring power,
and that we were quite likely to
outhit them because we are hit
ting against weaker pitching than
we ourselves have.
It wasn't much of ball game,
was it? The fielding was sort OF
sloppy in couple of innings, but
from now on the boys will be
breathing right and their collars
won't be so tight, so you'll see
some real plays.
Two Stand-Out Plays
There were only two plays that
really stood out-Moore's catch
of that dinky fly just over the
infield and Terry's stab of Cos
Inns liner. That was the payoff
ball. If that one had got by
we'll, there might have been a diff
ferent story.
You may remember that when
Hub walked couple in the
eighth we all gathered round him.
Hub asked me if he wasn't letting
up on his pitches and told him
he was and to loosen up and fol-
low through. He did and from
then on he was back on the job.
Bill asked him what was the
matter and Hub said he thought
he had tigtened up a little be-
cause is arm had got cold. He
wore only a light sweat shirt be-
tween innings so we decided to
get him a blanket on his next
start.
I had to laugh at the Senators.
They were crowding that plate
all afternoon, trying to get hold
Of that dipsydoo before it would
break. So the closer they got
the further out Hub would throw
it. On the level, some Of them
were only waving at it.
Bluege especially was a push
over for Hub. We kept crossing
him all afternoon. Every time
he'd get set for a fast one, he'd
get the squib and every time he
started looking for the squib he'd
get the high hard one. It's a
wonder he wasn't skulled.
Cronin was the toughest guy
among them and he figured to
be. He's always fussing around
that plate and liable to hit any,
where. Manush and Goslin were
no trouble. GoSlin got hold of
only one good ball and ManuSh
never got hold of one.
Hub mixed them up beautifully,
I never saw him with more stuff
and we never had a doubt of
CAe result even IN Lne ninth.
If Schumacher gets by the first
two heats today, he'll be just
about as tough. We know how
to pitch to them now.
The Senator pitchers, Stewart
Russell and Thomas all did well
but. just as I figured, Stewart
had his mind on those short
foul lines. He tried to keep us
from getting ball we could
pull and in doing that with OFT
he got his curve ball a little bit
too good and Mel socked it a
mile. That was the ball game
right there. After that sock, we
all perked up and if we'd lost
we'd have been the most sur
priSed bunch on earth.
The Washington times., 1933-10-04

mgton'S defenslvely. Who on
earth ever before heard of a
little chap by the name of
Buddy Myer making three er-
Eors in a single game?
If Judge Lands will pardon
this impudence, I should like to
dissent from that error they
gave Buddy when OFT stole Sec
ond in the second. I don't be-
lieve Buddy had his hands on
the ball in the first place, so
therefore how could he drop it?
The bah landed in the dirt as
OFT slid and Buddy stopped to
take it, falling dead in the dirt
from where Buddy recovered it.

NEW YORK, July 28.-The New
York Yankee Washington Senator
baseball feud moved into the con-
cluding rounds today with the cap
ital nine victors in the first half
by eight games TO three.
Yesterdays game, which the
Senators won 80 with a tenth in
ming run, was the eleventh this
season between the two clubs.
Today the Senators head the
American league by two games, the
first time the difference has been
so great since July y, when Wash
ington led the world champions by
a similar margin.
With almost tWo-thirdS of the
major league season finished, the
Yankees seem to be in a tough
spot. OF their remaining 81 games,
the world champions must play the
Senators II times, and If they can
do no better than in the first IL
games, the American league is al
most certain to have new cham
pion.
The game yesterday was broken
up by Cliff Bottoms single in the
tenth inning with the bases loaded
and two men out. Both teams were
held to seven hits. The Yankees
were able to get but two off Wal
lie Stewart who was replaced by
Jack Russell in the ninth inning.
Charlie Ruffing pitched the full
game for the Yankees.
The Cleveland Indians moved
into fourth place by the margin OF
one percentage point by defeating
the Chicago White Sox, 9 TO l,
while the Detroit Tigers were abb
sorbing a l2-inning 10 to 9 defeat
at the hands of the st. Louis
Browns.

The Giants climbed into a five
game National league lead over the
Chicago Cubs by trouncing Brook
ly, to 0, to make a clean sweep OF
their four game series and bring
their season total to - victories IN
Is starts with the Dodgers.
Chicago, meanwhile, fell back to
within half a game of their oppon-
ents as they lost to the third-place
Pittsburgh Pirates, 2 to 0. Larry
French held the Cubs to six hits.
The Cardinals, under their new
manager, Frankie FriSch, swept
their four-game series with Gin
cinnati as they won the final con-
test yesterday, 4 to 3.
Philadelphia, by taking a double
header from Boston, moved out of
the cellar and sent Brooklyn back
to that position. The PhillieS won
to and 2 to l
