The Washington times., 1935-03-28

is an all right Jobble who desc
Joe Kuhel is so pitifully Grip
pied that all he did to start the
game was make a swift dash to
first base with grounder which
he momentari1y had fumbled. No
trace of lameness in Joe as he
made his move.
Earl Whitehill had another bad
opening inning yesterday. He was
touched for two hits, gave two
passes, and further complications
developed when OSsie Bluege
made a wild throw. The combi
nation was good for brace o1
runs and the frame ended with
the bases loaded, three and two
on Alex CASTOR, the eighth batter
to face him. Against Cleveland,
Whitehill left three men on bases
in the first inning with three and
two on the hitter.
Johnny Stone socked run over
the plate in the opening inning
after Heinie Manush had ad-
vanced Powell to third by hitting
into a double play.
French dropped a Texas Lacquer
in short right field in the second
inning, just reaching out to meet
one of Whitehill'S SpeederS. Moth
ing came Of the shot except that
French felt a lot better for his
experience. He did clip a major
league pitcher for a base hit.
Ossie Bluege struck out on a
curve ball that broke across his
letters. Took a clean hard sock
at the ball and was a foot off
the target. And that, of course,
is very unusual, for those high
curve balls usually land up
against the distant fences.
We had a freak play develop
in the third inning. With Keaton
on first base, Rollings raised a
high fly to Kuhel, who made a
grand and glorious muff of the
ball. Myer, however, was hang
ing around, picked up the ball
and threw to Red KreSS. Keaton
was forced at second.
Rollings made a nice throw to
retire jake Powell at first base
early in the game. Powell was
out in front and running free
but not quite fast enough.
The Griffs got one unearned
run in their battle yesterday and
it helped. Tied the score, as a
matter of fact. ManuSh's pop fly
dropped safe in short right, and
Schuter picked up the leather
making a wild throw on which
Myer scored.
Arch Mcdonald We radio
shouter, was umpire on bases
He must have been good for the
reason that he rode home after
the game with Clark Griffith.
Whitehill should have had three
consecutive "three up and three
down innings" but Myer booted
an easy grounder and broke ur
the procession to and from the
plate.
Manush was robbed of a posi-
BILE double by fine running catch
by Kreevich, rightfielder of the
Kansas City Blues. Manush
walked to the bench shaking his
head. Such tactics just break up
the afternoon for Heinie.
Stumpf stamped out a possible
Griff rally in the last Of the sixth
frame yesterday. After Stone
doubled, Bluege was out, Kuhel
then hit a low line drive to center
field and Stumpf came charging
in. It looked like a hit: so much
like a hit in fact, that Stone raced
to third. Stumpf caught the bal
on the gallop and his throw tc
second cut down Stone.
The Griffs had the hassocks
jammed in the seventh inning
with two out, but ManuSh's long
drive to right field was fielded
without difficulty.
Sam Holbrook made a daring
effort to drive a run over, using g
surprise bunt. Stone was on thirc
base with two out when Holbrook
pushed a running bunt TOWARD
right field. Schuter, however, waS
| on the job and the effort failed.
