Stars Against Yankees.

ITO JUDGE by kreSS play SHlCe Ills
release" Capital fans need have
little fear about the shortstopping the
Nationals will receive. Handed the
Job last Wednesday. Kress, then bat
ting only lao, has since slugged at
an even 500 clip.
In five games Red has been to the
plate 20 times and raped out 10 hits,
including a double and home run.
Moreover, the hits have been anything
but meaningless, accounting, as they
have, for six runs driven across. Kress
scored four himself.
Afield the only difference between
the present Kress and the brilliant
youngster of half dozen years ago,
when he played for the Browns, is a
little lack of speed. Red is not so
fast as he was. of course, but he is
quite as sure. The manner in which
he accepted % chances during the
Yankees series backs up this state

of a double-header yesterday, to 6.
and struck again at the Yanks in
the nightcap, to l, behind the
capable hurting of Bump Hadley.
There was nothing f1uky about the
Nationals conquest of the Yanks
either. The McCarthymen may be
slipping, but even when a team is

beat with hurlers like Vito Tamulis.
Johnny Broaca and Lefty Gomez. And
the Griffs beat all three of them.
Only Walter Brown was able to gain
a decision over the rejuvenated Har-
rismen and Walter was lucky he
drew Earl whitehill as his slab OPP
ponent.
Pitching yesterdays opener. White
hill gave up 10 hits when most Of
them we're important and had the
misfortune of getting spotty support.
But at that the Grifs made it a
ball game and not until the final
out did the 81 ,9e2 customers settle
back and chalk up Yankee victory
BIuege Fails This Time.
A BIG second-inning gave the Yanks
40 lead. and though Johnny
Allen, who opened for the Yanks. was
forced out early when he hurt his
arm. Brown capably carried on until
the final two innings. Going into
the eighth the Yanks were ahead.
Z to 2. A home run by Jack Red
Ynond with Manush on base made it
IA in the eighth. and then with two
away in the ninth the Griffs threw
o scare into the Gothamites.
Buddy Myer doubled and Powell
singled him home. Then, as Jake
raced around to third unmolested,
Manush singled him across to MAKE
1t rs. This left it up to Kress and
the redhead was equal He, too
eingled, sending Manush to third and
Brown to the showers. Pat Malone
came in to pitch to Bluege, who broke
up Saturdays game under similar cir
cumstarces.
It was not in the books for Ossie to
dc the trick twice In a row, though,
and he went away, Malone to Gehrig,
ending it ell.
Powell Star of Nightcap.
THE nightcap found New York out
= hitting the Nationals, eight safe
ties to five, but Hadley, paradoxically,
outpitching Ell Goof Gomez This
was done without the aid of mirrors.
The Griffs merely hit when the blows
were important.
Kress gave the Griffs 10 lead in
the second inning when he parked
home run into the left field stands
and then, after the Yanks had tied
It I'D In the same inning, Jake Powell
iced the game.
With Hadley and Kuhel on base by
virtue of walks, and Myer filling the
sacks with a single, Powell also
planted q Gomez fast ball into the
left field stands, making 1t ST..
The other two runs came In the
eighth on Myers walk, Powells safe
bunt, o wild throw by Red Rolfe,
and an inneld out by Kress.
