The Washington times., 1935-05-25

came with Appling on second
have scored him with ease. AS
only one out an emergency still
like a champion, tanning Was
with ease.
The rest of the gale was
breeze. NeWsom reversed the GUS
tomary order of Washington
pitchers this season by improving
as the game progressed.
Refreshing Sight
It really was refreshing to
watch a pitcher stand out there
and win The same game he
started. It was refreshing to see
a Washington pitcher shut out
the opposition. 1t was refresh
ing to see Washington pitcher
reach his peak for the season,
which is what NeWsom did.
Chicago made five hits, got five
walks and Newsom struck out
three men. His control bothered
him no little, and all too many
times for artistry's sake, he was in
the three and one notch, pitching
up hill. But the answer lies in the
final score, which was 10 to 0, and
quite convincing as scores go.
81 had trouble with my con-
troll because / hadn't pitched
in a week." said NewSOm after
the game. But 1 bore down
when 1 had to. 1 didn't miss
that dish after the fourth in
ming, did II"
"In that fourth inning 1
struck out Washington with a
ball that everyone thought was
a wild pitch. But it wasn't.
had two strikes on him, and
know that Washington will go
after those high ones when he
has two strikes. / pitched him
a ball he'd 60 for and couldn't
hit.
81 had confidence in myself
right along. 1 pitched to Sewell
when I might have passed him
to get the pitcher. Sure, they
might have sent up Washing
ton. I'd have struck him out
just the same"
It was suggested that Newsom
had predicted a four-hit victory.
WILL HURL S-HITTER
'I'lI pitch a three-hit shutout
after 1 get going," he popped
off. 81 want to win for this
club. BOnura and Simmons, the
big hitters, got one blow each.
Simmons was lucky. He hit a
bad ball. Sewell got two hits.
He won't get two more all year.
"And, boy, did 1 hit that mug
get?" he demanded. did hit
it, and did 1 cross them up when
hunted? Surprised? He'll, no.
I'm fast. I was the fastest man
on that st. Louis club. Now
that I'm gone, they amt got
nothing left but the dough they
got for me.
II had to laugh at Dykes.
He made the crack that Bucky
hadn't better start me. Said
they lay my ears back. Well,
look at the score. And, boys,
I'll be shooting at them from
here in. 1 amt gOin' to give
them no runs for the rest Of
the year. 1 hate the White
SOx after that crack.
"Well, better get a good
Sleep" said Buddy Myer. "YOu
may be in the bullpen tOmOr-
row."
"Maybe?" demanded Buck.
"Feller, I will be in the bull
PEN"
Perhaps all this sounds like a
blowhard letting off steam. But
he isn't a blowhard at all. He's
colorful player with a lot OF
ability and lot of courage.
Believes Himself
He believes everything he says,
and while he has to be lucky at
times, he has the ability to go
with fortune. Every outstanding
man in the country was lucky in
some sense of the word. They
had to have a start, but it was
every man for himself when the
gun was fired.
It was that way with Newsom.
He had his own troubles early in
the year, but he came through
when Washington needed him.
The future seems bright now.
If hit can be symbolic, New
SONS single in the eighth inning
was such.
