HurlS Though Ill.

a LlHOUda SIlll leellIlS GIle tl-
n fects of a stomach ailment
that had put him on the
sidelines for nearly two weeks,
Bridges took the hill for the.
Tigers yesterday and under con-
siderable pressure went all the
way to 2-to-1 triumph.
For the third time this season,
the frail Bengal boxman hooked up
with Al Crowder, the slabnan who had
trounced him here in June, and clearly
outclassed the man who has more peak
victories to his credit this season than
any other in the circuit.
Detroit may be nothing more
than 500 ball club, but so long
as it has Bridges around it is
likely to make much trouble for
the Washington 1Conders.
Bridges, in his latest success, limited
the Nationals to seven SafetieS while
the Tigers clawed Crowder for a total
greater by three. Outside the eighth
Manush's inheld erasure and Cronins
long fly, they put across a run to
match the one the Tigers had hung up
in the second, the Nationals had but
one good scoring chance.
With one out in the sixth inning
ManuSh singled and checked in az
third when Cronin hit for two bases.
Schulte's best however, was a pop to
the first baseman and only three pitches
were needed to dispose of Kuhel. The
batter swung at the first two then
let the third pass to be called strike
That's how good Bridges was on
the hill.
He lDas especially good at the
plate, too, for tOith t1Do OF his
three hits he blGzed the tUdy to
the Tiger Dictory.
His single backed one-basers by
Greenberg and Stone to put over the
second session score. 1t was made
after two were out. He opened the
ninth with a triple, waited at third
while Rogell was thrown. then after
Fox's long fly was caught raced home
with the decisive score.
Through for Series.
DRIDGES probably will not be
d able to come back at the Ma
tionalS in the current series.
He is far from being a well man.
But very likely they'll face him
in Washington next month.
BY that time, though. they should
not be bothered by his appearance.
They then ought to be just about in as
champions.
In sharp contrast to the bitter
battling in the first part of the double
bill was the wild and Wooly play in the
second the Nationals bagged, 9 to 5.
With 13 hits and 10 passes the league
leaders were on the runway in every
inning and never were seriously
threatened by the Tigers.
Fred Marberry tried to stop
his old club, but he was too wild
to get anywhere. Four hits and
as many passes were quickly
CLEANED off him for four runs.
Eden Auker, a rookie, was on the
hill before the first inning ended. After
passing the first two batters up in the
third, Auker gave way to Elon Hogsett
and the Cherokee southpaw took a
sound thrashing the remainder of the
way.
Walter Stewart, with but two days
of rest after hurting five innings in st.
Louis. stabbed the nine innings against
the Tigers. He yielded II safeties,
but outside the fifth frame when four
hits were clustered for three runs the
Tigers did not annoy him to any ex-
tent.

NET LEAGUE LEAD
Series of Six Contests With
Giants a Week Hence
May Decide Flag.
BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n APIDLY getting into posi-
~ ton where their six-game
i series to be played in four
days with the New York
Giants a week hence can right
fully be called crucial" the Bos-
ton Braves today trailed the
league leaders by only 612 games.
While the Giants, together with
other teams Of the National League,
were being rained out for the third
straight day, the Braves yesterday
chalked up their fifth successive VIC
tory at the expense Of the st. Louis
Cardinals, winning to 3.
Wally Berger, 28-year -old outfielder,
was the big noise. He blasted out
two circuit blows, his twenty-third and
twenty-fourth of the season, and they
accounted for all Of the Braves runs
They also sent him one up on Chuck
Klein in the battle for home run honors
in the National League.
The washout at the Polo Grounds
added another double header to the
many already on the Giants schedule.
The Terrymen now are scheduled to
play twin bills and 18 games alto
SetIleT against ClleN principal IlVaN
during the next IL days. The prospects
for today's game were uncertain.
In the American League, the Wash
ington Senators gained half-game on
the New York Yankees, increasing their
margin to eight full games. While the
Senators were dividing double header
with the Detroit Tigers, the world
champions dropped a close decision to
the Cleveland Indians.
Brown Outpitches Ruffing.
CLINT Brown outpitched Charlie
Rufdng to give the Indians their
2-to-1 victory over the Yankees.
He scattered the Yanks' six hits over
five innings while his mates got to
Rufing for two runs in the fourth,
putting them together with two bases
on balls and a double by Milton
Galatzer and Harley Boss single
Two great pitching performances on
the part Of Sam Jones and Ed Durham
gave the White Sox two victories over
the Red Sox and extended Boston's
losing streak to nine games. Jones
held the Sox to three hits in the opener,
while Durham pitched four-hit ball in
the second affair He was deprived Of
shut-out only when Red Kress and
AL Simmons, who got only one hit in
seven times at bat, errored after two
were out in the ninth.

early in the morning, more than
5000 turned out for the double
header at NaUin Field. The Ma
tionals, splurging to1Ddrd a PEN
nant make fine draUtng card
these days.
Stealing in the second inning of the
first game, Kuhel was struck on the
left knee by Hayworth's peg as he
slid into the middle base. The blow
kept Joe down for a minute or two and
he came up with slight limp. But the
only National who has started in all
of his clubs games this season, gamely
stuck at his task.
Hayworth, who had singled with two
gone in the Tiger fourth, became too
ambitious when Bridges followed with
a one-baSer and tried to make third.
He was tagged nicely by Schulte's
heave to Bluege
Schultz gave a remarkable ex-
hibition Of Outfielding in the fifth
frame. He roamed back to the
f1agpole for RogelPs high one,
tore in for Fox's low liner, then
backed to the center field end Of
the scoreboard to haul down
Walkers powerful hoist.
Crowder dropped to the ground and
grabbed his left elbow right after one OF
Bridges fast ones had breezed by hlm
in the seventh. He claimed the ball
had grazed him and tried to show
Umpire Owens the bruise on the elbow.
but that official paid no heed to the
protest.
Doljack, Tiger second-string right
fielder, showed strong arm in the
third inning of the second game after
taking Stewards hoist when he ne lved
to the plate to cut down Kuhel, try
ing to get home from third. The throw
got home we'll ahead of the runner.
O. Manush, as he turned first base
1phile running out three-bdse
driUe in the fourth frame, tun1-
bled Umpire O,Dens into the dirt.
Heinie did not stop to apologize.
In the sirth, though, the big
Dutchman punished himself. A
foul from his bat bounded from
the plate to land against his head
and Manush ,Das dazed tor tetD
moments.
After Eden Auker relieved Fred Mar
berry in the first inning, the Tigers had
a former Texas League battery In ac-
ton. Both Auker and Big John Pasek.
the catcher, recently were brought up
from the Beaumont club.
Bob Boken crashed the game in the
sixth that Buddy Myer might get
brief respite from toll. Bob was no
shining light at bat, but after making
an error to put the first Tiger up on
base in the ninth, he initiated double
play with spectacular stop of Geh-
ringers torrid smash.

Bridges is Nemesis.

a CCORD1NG 10 IIle StdIlulllSS,
n it is ridiculous that the
Tigers should manage to
hold the Nationals to an even
break thus far. Detroit is nothing
more than 500 ball club against
all opposition and it is 10 games
back of the league leaders.
There is a great reason for the
Tigers unusual stand against such
sturdy foe. though. 1t is
Tommy Bridges.
This frail r4ght-hander, who is not
particularly effective against other clubs,
certainly has the number of the Wash
ington lot. He is credited with having
pitched the Tigers to four of their eight
victories over the Nationals in this
campaign. And the Nationals have
licked him but once.
Bridges took the measure of the
Capital clubmen the first time this year
when he hurled in the latter part Of d
contest the Tigers took in the tenth
inning. Then he came to Washington
in May to win over a route. He took a
licking from the Nationals on the let
here in June, but went back at them in
Washington in July to score over them
again.

~ ETROIT, August 24-Wash-

IL to the American League in
general, but nothing more
than a 500 aggregation to these
tussling Tigers here in Detroit.
Sixteen games have been played
between Detroit and Washington
this season with each winning
eight. Now the Nationals need
two more WINS to bag the current
series at Navin Field.
Despite the rough going the Nationals
have run into here, they have lost but
half a game of the advantage they held
over the Yankees as they entered the
series. After losing streak was run
to two games by the loss of the first
part of yesterdays double-bill the Cap
ital clupmen came back to triumph

With the Yanks taking licking in
their lone contest with the Indians, the
Nationals stepped up to an eight-game
lead over the club still a mathematical
menace in the race for the American
League pennant, but not to be rated
anything more than that.

RACE FOR POSTMASTER

Various Candidates Jockey for Position and Support
of Various State Leaders

With the turn Of events Of the

the open season for p. M. hunting
was on with vengeance. Looking
on from the sidelines this political
dopester Is forced to conclude that
It IL anybody's game, provided he
can get the proper backing to put
him over. There's the rub.
AS matters now stand there are
approximately a half dozen candi-
dates in the field with the various
state leaders practically set for a
finish fight to put their candidate
across. The latest candidate to
enter the race in this respect ac-
cording to persistent reports is the
name Of William r. Harrington, the

Of Or Dolan's support as far as the
other candidates are concerned.
This comes as a surprise, but sur
prises seem to be the order of
events in the present free-for-aIl.
AS far as Senator Augustine
Lonergan Is concerned he has not,
apparently, changed from his orig
inal stand Of backing any candi-
date with the endorsement Of the
local town committee and demo-
cratic organization. This decision
ties Senator Lonergan UP to the
choice of any one of three candi-

the latest candidate, favorable to

Senator Lonergan Is successful In
naming any one OF these candi-
dates 1t will be in all doubt through

Finally there Is the candidacy Of

Mr. Kelley has had the backing Of
