In the American League the Detroit

ed yesterday, the Nationals wound
up with no shining record. Yet
only two clubs excelled the mark they
chalked up. Six games we're won and
five were lost by the Harris hands.
The New York record of nine victories
and four defeats was the best The
Tigers finished second, with eight wins
against four losses. The Athletics,
squirting after a poor start, matched
the Nationals record.
The Washington club did better
than two of the clubs that head them
in the race and also the Red Sox, now
tied with them in fifth place. The
league-leading White Sox won five
games and lost six. Joe Cronin's Bos-
ton bunch took five and dropped seven.
The Indians were fortunate to keep
IN the race as they did. for they won
only Ave and lost eight. Playing to
form, the tag-end Brownies won but
three games and lost eight.
NewsOm Beaten in Eighth.
DUT for Newsom's wabbly eighth
- inning yesterday, undoubtedly due
directly to the fact his left knee
cap had been fractured in the third
inning by a line drive from the bat
Of Averill. although the seriousness OF
the injury was not even suspected at
the time. the Nationals would have
wound up their stand against the
West with seven and-four record.
They had Johnson's warriors trailing
by a tally when the $4,000 buy from
the Browns, toiling gamely despite the
pain he must have been suffering,
weakened to yield pass and four hits.
The Indians put across three runs, and
away went the ball game.
Averill walked to start this disas-
trous eighth. Trosky struck out. but
Hale and Campbell singled to send in
the tying score Pytlak then doubled
to the depths Of left and the Indians
were two runs ahead. Berger followed
with a freak hit bounced high in front
of the plate. but it did not help PVT
lax who was caught off third before
Harder was thrown out.
In all, the Tribe got II hits on
Newsom. Vosmiks triple was good for
a run in the first frame. Three sin
giles in the sixth got only one run. a
double play getting Buck of the spot.
The pass to Averill was the only dam
aging one of the three Newsom gave.
Mel Harder was nicked for dozen
hits by the Nationals. Four were clus-
tered after one was out in the second
session for three scores. Stone and
Travis singled Powell doubled and
Bolton hit for a base.
Mats Pass Chanc in Sixth.
THE Nationals got two hits in the
fourth. but after two were out
then Vnsmik hauled down a hard
rap from Bottoms bat. Myer and
Stone singled at the outset of the sixth
and after Travis put down neat
sacrifice it looked AS If Harder might
take more punishment. Powell
/ though, went to three-and-two count
only to foul to the catcher They
purposely passed Bolton here to fill the
bases. Newsoms best was a force-ou'

BY FRANCIS F.. STAN.

RAISShS - H4Ns
~ EPRIVED of his new pitching
ace at a time when it ap-
peared the Nationals were
ready to make their biggest
bid in the American League pennant
race. Bucky Harris today sought to
bolster the spirits of a gloom ridden
team in the face of predictions that
Buck Newsom's fractured knee-cap
would keep him on the bench for pos
Sibly six weeks.
1T certainly is terrific blow"
admitted Harris as Newsom was re-
moved to Georgetown Hospital this
morning preparatory to having a cast
placed on the knee injured by Earl
Averills bat yesterday, but we're not
out of it by any means.
"Newsom. I honestly think. meant
we had a great chance to win the
pennant and, while his loss will hurt.
we still have the same ball club we
had a week ago. 1t means that we
will have to battle and stay within
striking distance until Buck gets back
on deck
Harris, too. Is battling-fghtine
against possible danger of a gloom
complex setting in on the Nationals,
who last year absorbed an unprece-
dented amount of tough breaks. In
the few days he had been wearing a
Washington uniform, Newsom had
shown Harris and the Nationals that
they could count on him: that he
rsted as the Griffmens standout
pitcher. both as starter and in i'm
portant relief roles. Now. on the eve
of crucial three-game series with
team to beat for the flag, Newsom
reluctantly lies abed.
