Because in losing the final and

It was his own invented run

Dean had won the first fall

Then came the climax.

down to a consideration of few
sorrowful facts. The first is
this: Before this Washington
team is going any place, it is
going to be ripped to pieces and
reconstructed. What it needs and
needs badly is a few ball players
especially a few pitchers.
The other facts can be forgot.
ten temporarily.
The Griffs were bad enough
in the first game, but in the sec
ond they were pathetic. Protect
ing a lead or winning a close
game seems wholly and utterly
beyond their capabilities.
The Indians smashed them
down twice yesterday, putting on
two rallies in the ninth innings
that aggregated nine runs.
In the second game they
knocked Buck Newsom'S ears
back with cluster of five runs
to break an eight-run tie.
Defeat in the first game was
bad enough, but the humiliation
of the second game was insult
ferable. Washington led in that
second game with five innings
completed by a score of to 0.
Hadley was knocked out of the
box in the seventh inning.
Cleveland made 13 runs in the
last four innings of the game.
The Tribe scored two runs in
the sixth; two in the seventh ;
four in the eighth and five in the
ninth.
Unable To Win
There was no excuse in the
world in the second game. Had
ley doesn't seem to be able to
win, and NewSom, still suffering
as q result of his injury, hasn't
really recovered his stuff. The
first couple of times the fans
we're inclined to be lenient with
Newsom. But it must be said
now that he just doesn't seem
to have it, and that's that.

those two games, allowing nine
runs in the two closing innings

Leagues
Flag Races
Red Hot

With excitement at a fever pitch
because of the crucial series" be-
tween the champion Detroit Tig-
erS and the first place New York
Yankees, today'S game which was
to have been played in New York
has been postponed because of
rain and wet grounds.
AS the race now stands, the Tig.
ers are half a game in front by
virtue of their 40 win yesterday.
The Yanks, however, still lead the
procession in the all-important
matter of percentage points being
.0004 of one percentage point in
front.
The standings today are:
w L Pct
YankS ......... 81 80 .60714
Tigers ........ 81 35 .60674
The freak standing is due
to the fact the Tigers have
played five more games than
their rivals, and have lost two
more, while winning three more.
But the pennant races are won
and lost on percentage points.
In the extra five games played by
Detroit, the Tigers have EayA1
800 per cent ball, which fact
pulls them slightly lower than
the Yanks who are at .607.
Crowder Shines
The Yankees were held to four
hits by Crowder, who failed to
walk a man, and allowed only
one man to reach third. He was
given a lead in the first inning
when 10 10 White, the lead off
man hit the first homer of his
three year major league career.
Three more hits and two passes
in the third concluded the scor-
ing.
The Giants remained in first
place in the senior loop, when they
hung one on Dizzy Dean to the
tune of 4 to 2. Carl Hubbell,
Giant lefthander, held the Car
dinals to five hits, while his mates
scored four runs in the seventh.
The Giants now lead by game
and a half, with most crucial
double header today with the same
on-rushing Cards.
The Giants scored their runs
after Otis single and Leiber's
double, Pepper Martin threw wild
to first trying to nab Jackson,
allowing two runs to cross. Be-
fore the excitment died down, two
more had tiled. It was Martins
fifth error in two days.
While the Giants and Cards bat
tie it out, the Chicago Cubs are
rapidly catching both Of them.
The Cubs defeated the Dodgers
9 to 3, and Z to 6 in II innings, in
a twin bill to climb within game
of the second place Cards and to
within two and a half of the
Giants. Ken IDEAS homer broke
up the nightcap. Root and Lee
chalked up the wins.
Pirates Take Two
The Pittsburgh Pirates swept a
bargain bill with the Phillies, 8 to
6, and 4 to 3, behind a 23-hit
attack.
The st. Louis Browns sent the
Boston Red SoX back into the Sec
ond division by defeating them, 6
to 3. Walkup and Knott hurled
for the Browns, and Rube Wal
berg went the route for the Sox,
yielding 10 hits.
At Cincinnati, the Reds. playing
under the arc lights, won their
first game in three starts when
they beat the Boston Braves, s to
