The Washington times., 1935-05-15

OLD league park IN this city.
They've seen the league now,
and speaking in general they've
done pretty we'll. They're not 60
ing to come home three games
over the 500 mark as Bucky Har-
his had hoped they would, but
they're sure to come home with
better than a $3.50 split. The
tally this morning shows nine VIC
tories and seven defeats so far.
Bob Burke is the choice of Har.
ris for today'S game and the left
handler promises the tenth tri'
umph of the tour. The Indians
have named Oral Hildebrand as
the overnight choice, and we shall
see what we shall see.
The Griffs leave Cleveland to.
night on an 1855 train, arriving
home tomorrow morning.
Hughes slid over in back Of
second base to make a nifty play
on Myers grounder. No hurry,
no fuss: just the cst-like glide Of
a good infielder.
Travis dribbled a grounder down
to Hughes in the second, which
went for a base hit. It was the
SloweSE roller In the world.
Harder tried to get into trouble
in the second. With the outfield
playing a left field defense on
Bolton, Harder pitched two curves
inside. Had either Of these offer
ings been pulled, a run would have
resulted. ALPS well that ends well,
however, as Bolton did not even
strike at the ball.
Jack Graney, former outfielding
star of the Cleveland Indians, Is
doing a daily broadcast out here
that is a sensation. He is well
equipped for the job.
The critics had just decided that
Bozie Berger could not possibly
hit a ball hard or far. So he
ups and drives Heinie Manush
right back to the left field fence
for a sock that was q honey.
Hughes blasted q triple past
Powell in the second with two out.
He scored when Joe Vosmik
singled through the box. Hughes
is making himself popular with
the cleveland fans by his undying
spirit Of fight. He refuses to adj
NIT that a man named Bill
Knickerbocker is even with the
Cleveland cub.
Larry made a nice pickup and
throw Of Hale'S sizzling sock in
the fourth inning.
Bolton was strapped up so tight
before the game that when Mel
Harder fell down trying to field
his infield tap, Cliff could not run
fast enough to beat out the lick.
For five complete innings the
GriffS failed to nudge the ball
out Of the infield. In those five
frames Trosky had II putoutS.
Our hit was an infield tap by
Travis which was too slow for
anyone to field.
Hal Trosky'S fifth homer Of
the season was a regular midiron
shot that took wings and kept
going. It had a gentle pull that
carried it perilouSly close to the
foul line, but it was fair enough
to count. Too doggoned fair to
suit most Of the boys.
Joe Kuhel lined to Vosmik In
the seventh inning. Bucky Har-
ris suggested that a tree be
planted there to mark the spot Of
the first outfield putout scored
by the Indians.
This was followed Immediately
by Travis single to short center.
It was obvious that two trees
could not be planted, so the en-.
tire idea was abandoned.
Fred Schultz broke into the
game in the eighth inning, batting
in place Of Earl WhitehiIl. He was
safe on a wild throw by Roy
Hughes. Bluege was sent in to run
in place of Schultz, whose charley
horse still troubles him no little.
The Griffs wriggled out Of the
whitewaSh tub right then. Myer
grounded to Berger, whose Throw
to second, tying for a force on
Bluege, went into left field. Bluege
scored ana Myer went to second.
