EVERETT MARSHALL, Joe Sa-

first local open air wrestling show Of
the year, to be staged next Thursday
at Griffith Stadium.
The show will be headed by a

and Jim Mcmillan, who pinned Rudy
Dusek this week.
Marshall and Savoldi, two Of the
country's best known grapplers, will
tangle in a special preliminary listed
for 80 minutes. McCready and Fields
will oppose in the semi-wind-up, slat-
ed to last no longer than As minutes.

ported to have given Browning the
closest call of his championship"
career. Before New York audience
Mcmillan finally was thrown after

Only Two Hits Clean.
90 STEWART kept 'em low and 90

90 STEWART kept 'em low and got
y great results. OF the seven
Indian hits but two were clean
drives to the outfeld. Others were
skidders that eluded the Washington
inner Gordon. And other than these
two hits, the Tribe knocked but six
pitches to the outer patrol. Stewart
really pitched himself a ball game.
So did Lloyd Brown, who took the
hill at Johnson's command. The left
handler gave his former club plenty
OF trouble from start to finish. He
chucked better than the dozen hits
CLEANED off his delivery might indi-
cate. One of the three runs off
Brownie was strictly of the unearned
variety. In fact, the Indian hurler
pitched a game that ordinarily would
win. But he was unfortunate enough
to be opposed by Stewart at his
best.
Although there was hitting by
others, Cronin, Schultz, Kuhel, Harris
and Philips provided the punch that
accounted for the Washington win.
Kuhels contribution was his first
home run of the season. a loft over
tAiS AiSiAe 4lClo oSiCSll az VIC UCS
of the sixth session. And for the
first time in four games the Nationals
managed to turn in a perfectly
fielded affair. That's something for
them this season.
VXIASHINGTON put over its first
|" run in the fourth frame,
thanks to Trosky's failure to
check grounder. Cronin and Schultz
singled after one was out, Cronin 60
ing to third on the second sock.
Harris popped out, but Travis roller
went under the Indian first baseman
for an error, and Cronin counted.
After Kuhel hammered his homer
In the sixth, the Tribe found its way
to the counting block. One was out
in the Indians sixth turn when Hale
singled and checked in at third as
Trosky cracked for a base. The run
crossed as Pytlak rammed into a
forceout. Had not Travis momen-
tarily fumbled Pytlak's smash a dou-
BILE play probably would have pre-
vented the score, for Pytlak only beat
Blueges relay to first by an eyelash
That made the game a little too
close for comfort, but the Nationals
waited until the ninth to get over
their final marker. Harris opened this
inning by raking Brownie for two

sacrifice. Phillips smacked single,
and the run was in.

Cronin seemed to have available
nothing more than a lot of broken

This Washington ball club is in a sad
way for something to send to the
mound when its starter gives way.
If each of the other hurlers of the
staff were a Stewart like the Stewart
that pitches against the Indians, the
Nationals would have the pennant
pretty well in hand by July /. That's
how good Sir Walter is in action
against these Redskins of Cleveland.
He has faced them twice now. and
each time has gone a full route to
victory. And that just about makes
his record for all his pitching in this
campaign if one overlooks that little
matter of a defeat at the hands of
the Browns.
When he turned back the Indians
In Washington early this month
Stewart allowed them just seven hits
and one run. Here yesterday he re-
peated that performance. But he
had to be better here than in Wash
ington. On, his home lot, his out
field patrol had oodles of room for
roaming after long drives from Tribal
war clubs. The outfield territory here
Is considered more restricted, and
Stewart had to pitch much more care
fully. He couldn't afford to serve the
stuff that would mix too well with
the power in the Indians swings.

Cards Clever Aield Also.

THE Cards are backing up their
good pitching with a rousing
brand of play at bat and in the
field. Defensively the team is very
competent and Medwick, Rothrock,
Martin, Davis and Collins are lashing
the ball when hits mean runs. The
club has good reserve strength and
Frisch utilizes every asset at his dis
posal in a mastery fashion. The Gard
boss may not be the most popular
man in base ball, but he is showing
fine managerial skill. Which is what
counts with Sam Breadon and Branch
Hickey, the men who pay Mr.. F'risch's
salary.
AS the Western teams faced into
the East, for the first time this sea-
son. the National League seemed
headed for another of those wrangle-
tangle fights which makes money for
club owners and gray hairs for man
ayers.
Meanwhile. over in the American
League, the Yankees are pulling away
for what now looks like a runaway
race. And that recalls a remark
made by the late Phil Ball after one
on the Nationals great pennant
fights, "the American League wins
world series and the National League
club owners make the money"
