AS they made it IA wins in their
last IS starts the Capital clouters
collected 20 hits off a quartet of
Cleveland curvers to raise to 218
the total of safeties slammed over
the stretch of Is tilts in which
they have scared from a poor po-
sition behind the Yankees to the
leadership of the league.
They got IA hits in the first game,
routing the Tribes ace, Wesley Ferrell,
before the end of the fifth inning and
continuing the assault upon Howard
Craghead. They got Is hits in the
second game, chasing Belve Beam be-
fore he had hurled three rounds, then
battering Sarge Connally. Not until
Craghead stepped into the game in the
eighth inning as a reliever for the sec
ond time during the afternoon was the
Washington bombardment checked.
TN sharp contrast was the Cleveland
attack. Of Earl Whitehill, in the
opening encounter, the Indians
cleaned but five hits and never seri-
ously threatened to score. They got
only eight safeties off Bob Burke in the
second set-to and might have suffered
a second shut-out had not drive ordi-
narily only good enough for single
taken freak hop to bound past Schultz
and become triple.
The Nationals actually won both
games in the first inning. Goslin's sim
gle and Cronins double after two were
out produced the tally that was enough
to trim the home side in the initial ar
gument. Singles by Manush, Schultz,
Kuhel and Bluege with Cronin's walk
mixed in were good for three scores in
the starting frame of the second scrap.
But the Nationals kept the lead with
ease in both games. An error by
Knickerbocker followed by hits by
Whitehill and Myer, accounted for
second-inning run in the mix-up, and In
the fifth inning the Cronin crew chased
Ferrell by clustering four hits and two
passes with wild throw by the Tribe
left fielder for five scores. 1t was ku-
hels drive under Morgan when the
bases were crowded with two out that
started this scoring bee. Manush's
walk and doubles by Goslin and Cronin
got two runs off Craghead in the sixth.
In the second clash, the Nationals
waited until the third round to add 10
their first inning advantage. Ihen
singles by Goslin, Cronln, kuhel ana
Blueee. with Schulte's sacrifice thrown
in. meant two scores. With three hits
they got two more markers of Connaliy
in the seventh and wound up tnelr
tallying in the eighth when three runs
crossed, the last two sent in by Man
ush's triple.
~ URKE had stormy first inning In
X his game, what with hitting
~ batter getting hit by one ana
issuing a pass to fill the bases with one
out But a forceout at the plate ioi-
lowed and the danger was gone when
Kamm hoisted out.
The Tribe got its one run OF the Gay
In the fourth inning OF the second
game. Kamm started it with his fuzzy
triple and crossed when Myatt singled.
The next two went out, then Galatzer
got the fifth hit of the fay off Burke:
But it was wasted when CiSsell lofted
out. and the Indians reached Bobby Tor
only three safeties the remainder OF
the way.
Milton Galatzer, who played right
field for the Tribe, had just been pro
cured from Toledo in exchange for Mike
Powers. Milt subbed for Dick Porter,
now nursing a bad knee. The left
hand swinging rookie proved tough
customer at bat He drew pass each
of the four times he faced Whitehill IN
the first game and got two hits in f1ve
shots at Burke in the second.
Schultz came up with two hits in
each game. pretty good afternoon
work, but he would have had three in
the opening encounter had Vosmik not
raced to the left-field line for a catch
that surprised the Tribe outfielder as
much as it did everybody else. 1t was
the most spectacular fielding play Of
