Evening star., 1933-10-07

The New York Giants, determined to
end the world series at Griffith Stadium
this afternoon, were leading the Ma
tionals in the fifth contest in the fifth
inning
The score was to 0.
Faced with the Stern necessity OF
beating the Giants today or having their
world championship aspiration irretriev-
ably blasted, the Nationals took the field
in a desperate frame of mind.
Their main reliance was Alvin Crow
der, biggest game winner of the regular
season, who was accorded by Manager
Joe Cronin the opportunity to atone for
the 6-to-1 shellacking he suffered in the
second game of the set in New York,
and the General drew as his mound op-
ponent Hal Schumacher. the youthful
right handler who was his conqueror on
that occasion.
A bright sun again was on the job
and general weather conditions were
satisfactory to the crowd of approx
mately 270OO Although a sprightly
breeze made light wraps feel comfortable.
