RED SOX PROVE:
STUBBORNF0E
FOR CROWDER

For some unknown reason the
Boston "Red Sox have always
been one of the toughest foes
for Gen. Alvin Crowder to de-
feat.
Just why this has been, few.
if any of us, can offer rea-
son, but the fact remains the
veteran hurler has experienced
the hardest sort of time trying
to gain a verdict over the Bean
townerS as the seasons have
come and gone.
Yesterday, as the latest ex-
ample, Crowder found his foes
even tougher to succumb than
in the recent past. He held
them to one hit in six innings,
then gave up three in the
seventh for one run-which
marker loomed as the verdict
against him the way his or
ponent on the mound-Cai
Wieland-Was setting the Grifl
men down as fast as they coult
come to bat.
But CroWder finally won o,H
over his pesky foes before the
game ended yesterday. Ths
GriffS made certain of this N
coming to life, after Dave HarriS
homer tied the score in the
seventh at Ii, by pushing
across the needed marker for q
81 tri11Y01rb in +Lo ,,;,,4L o- -
result of walks to Myer and Cos
lin, Cronin's infield single and
Heine ManuShs pinch single to
center.
No. 16 for CrOWder
The victory enabled Crowder ia
add No. 16 to his record for the
campaign. Also it enabled him to
break the spell which the Red Sox
have held over him since the
season started. in fact. since he's
been given assignments against
them in the past two years.
All the pitching credit cannot go
to CroWder, however. when a final
Checkup on the game is made.
Some of it must go to Weiland,
who turned in a great performance
for the Sox before tiring because
Jf the heat in the seventh. Five
times the Griffs got into scoring
position off his shoots, but in
every instance he always had
enough in reserve to keep a run or
runs from being pushed across the
old counting block. In the fifth,
particularly, he turned in some
excellent pitching. The Griffs
filled the bases in this frame, but
the big left-hander got" Joe
Kuhel on a pop fly to Seeds to
end the threat.
Dave Harris homer In the
seventh actually was the tip-off
that Weiland was firing, as Kuhel
followed Immediately with ter
rifle double down the right-field
line. Here Manager McManuS
rushed Bob Kline to the mound,
who hurled until the Griffs un-
corked their game-winning rally
in the ninth.
Manush Delivers
Kline walked both Myer and
Goslin in this frame and gave up
an infield hit to Cronin when
Manager McManus decided he
had had enough and put Lefty
Lloyd Brown on the mound. At
that Kline might have continued
in the game had not Manager
Cronin sent Heine Manush up tc
hit for Fred Schultz.
But McManus quickly changed
to Brown because he figured
Manush would find it more diff
cult to hit against the left
handed Brown than the right
handed Kline. However, as things
turned out, the strategy didn't
work as Heine hit Browns Sec
ond pitch for line single to
center which drove across Myer
with the winning run of the game
And right here, another Bulls
Eye must be scored for Manager
Cronin for the success of his
strategy in calling upon Manush
to hit for Schultz at this stage
of the game. This strategy busi-
ness works lots of times if faith
is only held that it'll work. 1t
