Eddie Linke started this Sc
quence of well-pitched games, de-
feating the Browns by a score of
10 to 2, allowing them only five
hits. Jack Russell followed Linke
and lost a heart-breaking battle
by score Of 2 to /, allowing six
hits.
This same Jack Russell fol-
lowed against the Red SoX on
Saturday with victory by score
of 3 to l, allowing four hits. Rus
sell replaced Earle Whitehill when
the southpaW was put out of the
game for protesting a decision by
Bill Dinneen in the first inning.
Jack pitched shut out ball.
Carrying on this welcome of re-
cent tradition of blazing pitching,
Buck Newsom topped the per-
formances of all hands with his
soul stirring triumph over Lefty
Grove. For IA innings through the
rain swept afternoon these giants
of the pitching staff waged their
strife, and in the end it was New
som who won.
Drives In Run
Buck drove over the winning
run with a single to center field
in the 14th inning. flashing the
ball over the head of Dib Williams
and out of tho clutch of the swift
charging Melo Armada, who tried
desperately to get up in time for
the catch. And almost succeeded,
be it said. To make it more ORA
matte, the bases we're loaded when
Buck came to the plate. One man
was out.
Newsom's previous effort
against the Browns was one OF
terrible memories. He was wilder
than a Montana broncho. giving
II bases on balls and hitting a
batsman. What between showers
of passes and volleys Of hits, the
Browns ran riot.
Out of the debris of such per-
Torrance recently passed rose a
new Buck Newsom. with control,
stuff and the tradition bundle OF
Newsom courage. He was a bit
wild in the thirteenth inning
PASSING Roy johnson and hitting
Bing Miller with a pitched pail.
His gift to Dusty Cooke was in,
territorial. With the bases loaded
Newsom got Dib Williams on a
cof+ fly IN Dee Miles
For the past several weeks New
som has had little luck in the
matter of runs being scored be-
hind him. In his last five games,
for instance, the Griffs have
scored six runs. In one game in
Boston they scored three runs
for him which was tops. On the
other hand, he has pitched few
sour games, as witness that nor
ror in Detroit and the other al
ready noted in st. Louis.
Boston was first to score, get
ting a run in the fourth inning.
Werber pulled a drive that went
into left field for triple. johnson
scored him with a roller to KreSs.
Cronin then whaled one past
jake Powell for three. and just
one hand was down. Rick FerreIl
skied to KreSs, and after Cooke
walked. Dahlgren fouled out.
Missed Three Chances
Dahlgren had three real
chances to drive over a run be-
fore he was removed to let Blng
Miller bat in his place IN the
thirteenth inning.
When the game was over New
som was in rare fettle. and the
first thing he did was walk over
to young Bill Starr, the catcher
who worked most Of the after
noon. and shake hands with him.
Then, seeking out Bucky Harris,
Buck informed the manager that
Starr was a smart, clever receiver
1t was apparent throughout the
game that Starr was working
smoothly. helping NeWsom over
the rough spots. For a kid who
has been around for the limited
| time that Starr mas. ne KNEW Vic
hitter pretty we'll, and worked &C
cordingly.
The Griffs worked the winning
opening on a momentary lapse by
the clever and dashing Melo Al
mazda. In the final frame Travis
hit through the infield. and the
wet field slowed up the ball. Al
mazda didn't charge the hit. but
Travis got to second. He was run
down by Cronin after Powell beat
out a hit to Werber. A pass to
Holbrook brought up Newsom with
the bases loaded, and Buck did
his stuff. -,
Powell saved Newsom twice with
beautiful running catches on
smaShes by Melo Almada, who
hammered the ball but in bad
luck. This same Powell drove over
the tying run and scored the win
ming run.
