They were these same sort Of
performers early this year when
injuries and ailments had three
or four Of 'em on the sidelineS.
Today. they are even more Of
a wrecked crew. due to the
serious injury Of one particular
performer-Joe Kuhel-and the
minor ailments attached to Fred
Schultz.
Schultz Still Out
Kuhel, who, until Saturday, had
not missed a single game in q
season and q third, broke his
ankle sliding into second in the
opening game Of the double
header against the Detroit Tigers,
so it'll be six weeks before he'll
be able to take his place in the
lineup again.
Schultz, who missed yesterdays
contest against the st. Louis
Browns because Of an injury SUI.
fered also in the Tiger twin bill
Of Saturday. probably will be lost
to the team for another day or
so, although Trainer Mike Martin
hoped to have the big outfielder
ready for today's encounter with
the Browns.
In the hope of making it two
straight over the MiSSourianS for
the current series, Manager Cronin
announced today Earl Whitehill
will be his finger. The Browns
are expected to use Dick Coffman.
Red KreSS. hard-hitting utility
infielder, will again be at first
base for the GriffS as Joe Kuhel's
substitute, while Johnny Stone
will be in center field in Schulte's
place, and Dave Harris in right.
Stewart Hurls Well
They'll be putting Lefty Walter
Stewart down as the Griffs' best
pitcher very soon. particularly II
he continues to turn in as great a
performance as was his fortune
yesterday in the first game Of the
current series with the st. Louis
Browns.
In shutting out his former team
mates, Z to 0, Stewart looked as
good, If not better, than any
other time this seaSon-barring
possibly the splendid 3 to 2 effort
he won against the Cleveland In.
dianS in May.
Up to the seventh the veteran
southpaw allowed the Browns only
one hit and this was Of the
scratchy variety. It came in the
third inning when CRUDE, second
string backstop Of the Browns,
smashed a bounder towards third
which Travis knocked down, but
couldn't recover in time to throw
the runner out at first.
Two In Seventh
In the seventh he gave up two,
both being singles by Burns and
Cliff, but a fast double play got
him out Of this hole (Hemsley had
walked to load the bases), when
CRUDE drove a grounder to Aravis
-Myer and KresS taking care Of
the rest.
Again in the eighth and ninth
Stewart gave up hits but neither
proved dangerous as the Southpaw
had enough to quell all would,be
rallies.
The GriffS, in the meanwhile,
made merry off the shoots Of
Buck Newsom and Ed Wells, for
mer jinx hurlers. Cecil Travis
scratch single and Dave Harris
triple, both coming with the bases
populated sent Cronin and his
gang off to a flying start-four
runs being scored-while Johnny
Stones single with the bases full
in the sixth pushed across two
more markers, which at that mo-
ment, put the game far out Of the
Browns reach.
The victory was the Griffs'
second over the Browns for the
campaign, while it was Stewards
second consecutive triumph in
his last two starts.
