all that power, for Earl Whitehill
stabbed so steadily the Nationals never
were in danger of being overhauled
after piling up that big early lead.
The White Sox combed the Earl for
Just eight hits and much Of the time
he was pitching we'll within himself.
Needed All in Second.
TT WAS a different story in the
second set-to, despite the free hit
ting by the Nationals. The White
Sox socked just as heavily, getting
their IS safeties off Jack Russell, Alec
McColl and Crowder 1t was well
that the White Sox were so helpless
afield in the first two frames that
they made five errors that enabled the
home side to get 10 runs off Milt
CASTOR and Joe Heaving. Also well
that a seventh White Sox error helped
in the scoring of three runs in the
eighth inning.
For Russell blew higher than the
Washington Monument in the third
frame and became so wild in the
fourth he had to give way to McColl.
The venerable right-hander was pun
ished plenty and before Crowder was
rushed in to end an eighth-lnnlng
uprising the White Sox were only two
runs back. And after that rally by
the Nationals the aliens came back to
throw a scare into the holdover
champs by combing Crowder for three
more markers.
Manager Cronin was the spearhead
of the Washington attack throughout
the double matinee. He got three hits
in each game, drove over five runs In
each and crossed the plate four times
during the afternoon.
Cronin in Homer Splurge.
ORONIN also participated in the
home-run splurge that marked
the last two rounds of the second
set-to by socking one to the right
center angle when two mates were
aboard in the eighth. Other homers
we're rammed by White Sox. Simmons
sending the ball over the right-fleld
wall when two were on in the eighth
and Bonura keeping pace with Lou
Gehrig at the head of the four-base
club by driving his sixteenth in the
season in the ninth. 1t was smash
into the sun parlor made with one
on the runway.
1t didn't take the Nationals long
to give Lyons his beating in the open
ing game of the double-sketch. Ted
pitched to six batters and five Of them
got around before he left the hill.
Myer walked and checked in at
third as Stone doubled. Manush's
single tailed Stone. Cronin walked
and Travis beat out bunt to fill the
bases. Kuhel's double scored three
and brought Tietje to Lyons relief.
Tietje was well thumped in the
second round. Singles by Myer and
Manush with Stones stroll sandwished
between crowded the stations. Cronin
rifled double to left and Washington
had three more runs.
White Sox Find Plate.
~ PASS to Simmons, another to
~ Dykes and Chamberlins two
bagger got the White Sox
marker in the fourth but the Ma
tionals offset it in the sixth when they
two we're out, Manush singled and
get away. Cronin singled to count
Heinie.
Each side checked in with two
tallies in the eighth. Bonura's triple
and Simmons long fly put over the
first White Sox run of the round. After
the second out Dykes and Chamberlin
walked and Madjeski doubled for an
other. Passes to Whitehill and Myer
yielded by Gallivan paved the way to
the Washington scores. Whitehill
crossed as Harris batted into the Sec
ond out and Cronin's two-base hit
sent Myer home.
With the White Sox defense all
out of whack, the Nationals ran up
six runs IN the first inning and add
ed four in the second in the night
cap.
Myer began the merry-go-round
with a single, only to be forced out
by Stone. Then the half dozen runs
were registered before the next out.
CASTOR picked up Jarvis roller and
chucked wildly over second. Stone
pulled up at third and Travis
reached the middle base. Cronin
singled to score the pair.
These Errors Helped.
II UHEL doubled to right, the hit
n being just long enough to get
Cronin to third. But Uhalt,
the Sox right fielder, made a poor
return that let Cronin get home.
Kuhel stuck at second as Chamber
lin muffed a pop to put Harris on
the runway, but scored when Schultz
singled.
Phillips one-baser tailed Harris
and sent Schultz to the far corner
When Bonura messed Russell's tap
for the fourth error of the inning
Schultz went in with the sixth run.
CASTOR managed to dispose of Myer
and Stone the second time these
two were up in the round, but he
lost control in the second and four
more markers were registered. Travis
singled ana moved to third when
Cronin hit for a base. Kuhel and
Harris walked, the second pass fore
ing Travis over the plate.
Here Heving relieved CASTOR, but
right away Boken made a poor toss
to second after scooping Schulte's
grounder and Cronin scored. Phil
