If the Giants hit every day the way
they so often do when Hal Schumach-
er is pitching for them. they probably
would have the National League pen
nant all folded up and ready to stow
away in the clubhouse by now.
Schumacher, second only to Dizzy
Dean among the leagues pitchers,
was credited with 10 victories against
five defeats Friday, chalking up his
18th Thursday when the Giants belt
ed out a Is to decision over the
Brooklyn Dodgers. And in those 18
victorious games, his club mates have
backed him up with total Of 2l5
hits. averaging IL each time. Even
when he couldn't win they did almost
as we'll for him. Those figures are
somewhat better than their seasons
average OF ten blows game for l07
contests.
The big right handler from Dodge
Vile, N. Y, did pretty well by himself
Friday, giving the Dodgers only six
hits, including q pair Of homers by
Len Koenecke, but the teams hitting
was the real feature Of the contest.
They counted Is times against Ray
Benge, Watson Clark and Owen Car
roll and didn't waste hit. Every
blow counted in the scoring as they
batted around twice in the first two
innings to score seven times, added
three more runs in the sixth and six
In the eighth when Travis Jackson
tripled and George Watkins hit for
the circuit. each wallop coming with
two on base.
The triumph increased New York's
lead to three full games over the
second-place Cubs as Chicago's game
with Pittsburgh was rained out. The
other National League clubs enjoyed
an open date.
Detroit Increases Lead
Two American League contests
completed q day Of one-sided games
which saw the Detroit Tigers follow
the Giants example in increasing
their lead to three games. Following
the 1876 Giant score came the Boston
Red Sox' IS to triumph over the
Athletics, which was accomplished In
five innings and the Is to 2 beating
the Tigers administered to the
Browns.
The Red Hose belabored Merit
(Sugar) Cain and Alton Benton for
nine runs in the third and got to Ed
Lager for five more in the fifth. The
AS put together their tow hits off
Johnny WEIGH, a single by Ed Cole
man and homer by Frank Hayes. just
before rain ended the game after the
fifth.
The Tigers put OH smuggling per-
Torrance that in some ways surpassed
the Giants feat as they won their
ninth successive game to set new
mark for the big league season. They
belted Buck Newsom, who stayed In
and took his punishment all the way,
for 20. hits. winning the game with a
six run outburst in the sixth. Tommy
Bridges coasted through to his 18th
victory Of the season.
The nine-game streak surpassed
the best previous marks of the sea-
ron, eight straight by the Yankees and
the Cubs. Chicago's streak was in
terrupted by q tie game.
Rain was as costly to the Yankees
rs it was to the Cubs, putting them a
half game further behind Detroit
when their game with Washington
was postponed. Chicago and Cleve-
land had no game scheduled.
