Evening star., 1933-06-25

The Nationals got their win off
q one-time teammate, Milton Gas
ton. They got of their 10 hits
of this veteran right-hander in
the eight innings he toiled, but
they greatly needed the runs they
CLEANED of the venerable spit-ball
hurler, Urban Farber, in the ninth.
Three runs went over In that late
splurge and with the White Sox coming
to life to drive from the slab both
Walter Stewart, starting hurler, and
Jack Russell, first relief, those runs
saved the day for the Cronin crew.
i Manager Cronin tempted fate when
he decided at the last minute to start
the left-handed Stewart instead ct Bill
McAfee, for only twice this season had
left-handers managed to subdue the
White Sox. Lefty Gomez of the Yankees
did so in New York and Earl Whitehill
of the Nationals did SO here last
Wednesday.
But Stewart pitched great ball for
eight innings. Over that stretch the
White SoX got but four hits and four

in the second inning to give the home
side 2run start, but there probably
would have been no scoring then had
not Cronin dropped throw with an
easy double-play at hand.
BIuege's Homer Vital.
T%HOSE two White Sox scores were
Offset by the Nationals in the
fifth, when they did their first
hitting at Gaston's expense. Then with
Joe Kuhel on first base and two out
Ossie Bluege drove the ball into the
upper left field stand for his fifth home
run of the year.
That blow took something from
Castor. for he was slapped solidly in
each Of his three remaining innings on
the hill, with the Nationals adding to
their run total in the seventh and
eighth.
Then Cronin's' men went well ahead
when they took a fancy to Faber's
splitter in the ninth, but Stewart broke
down in the final round and for time
1t looked as though the White Sox
might grab the game out Of the fire.
AS 1t was with CASTOR, so 1t was a
homer that started Stewart tottering.
AL Simmons, with mighty swing,
sent the ball over the roof OF the left

round and Stewart had nothing there
after. A single, long fly and walk
followed and In went Russell.
On the hill for the third straight day
as a reliever, Jack found the task too
great for him this time. Two batters
only faced him and both singled. That
left the White Sox but two runs back
and both Of those on the runway. Rus
sell was promptly lifted and Cronin
ordered McAfee to the pitching peak.
And Bill needed to pitch to just two
batters to wind up the argument.
Simmons Early Factor.
CIMMoNs started the first White
Sox scoring by opening round 2
with a single. Then Kuhel shared
Applings grounder and double play
was In the ofing. But Cronin dropped
Kuhels throw and after Webb sacri-
feed, q long fly by Dykes and Grube's
double sent over the tallies.
Not until the fifth was a hit made
of CASTOR. Then Cronin rifled such
a hot one to Appling the shortstop
couldn't hold the ball, which meant a
single for the batter. Schultz forced
out Crouin and Kuhel gave Schultz the
same treatment, but Bluege got his
homer to square everything.
Singles by Cronin and Kuhel with
Schulte's sacrifice sandwiched between
put the Nationals in the lead In the
seventh and they increased their advan-
tage in the eighth when, with Manush
on first base and two out, Goslin sin
gled and Cronin doubled.
Kuhel drew a pass from Faber in the
ninth and it was backed by three sin
giles for three runs. A single by Bluege
sent Joe to third and he headed for
home when Ossie was trapped after
turning first base. There was much
aimless heaving Of the ball by the
White Sox infield, so Kuhel scored and
Bluege made second. Sewell's one-baser
sent Ossie over and following Stewart s
