Tribes Homers Win Opener,

EAVING here today following the
last game with the Tribe, the
Nationals will complete their Western
tour in Detroit. There, where the
world champions apparently are
cracking badly, better luck may be
enjoyed. Certainly it can't be worse
So far this campaign, the Washingtons
have been unable to cope with Cleve-
land and Chicago. of the Western
outfits, but they have done fairly well
against the Bengals, whose recent per-
formances have been as bad, if not
worse, than the Nationals.
The double defeat yesterday was
as disheartening an afternoon as the
Nationals have spent this year. The
Indians 8-run uprising in the first
two innings put the game practically
out of reach of the Griffs, although
they did manage to stage a 5-run
rally in the third inning to drive
Thornton Lee from the slab.
Appleton, who relieved Cohen, was
quite an improvement, holding the
Tribe to four hits the rest of the
way, but Oral Hilderbrand, who re-
placed Lee, was just as good and the
Tribes early lead won for it. Home
runs by Hal Trosky and Bruce Camp
bell, accounting for of Cleveland's s
II runs, proved the difference between
the batting attacks of the two clubs.
Travis "Boner" Hurts In Nightcap.
THE nightcap found Monte Weaver
dropping his first decision since
he was promoted to the capacity of
a regular starter. If it's any consola-
ton to Monte, he might have won
with better support. The Griffs still
have lapses when they play like
collegians.
Given 10 lead in the first inning,
Weaver lost 1t when Earl Averill
pumped homer over the short right
field fence with Hale on base in the
Cleveland half of the first frame. In
the third, Weaver was put out in
front again. 3 to 2, and in the fourth
inning Washington scored again
making it a. Weaver, incidentally
drove across this run.
Hard luck overlook Monte in the
fourth, after Campbell singled, Sulli-
van famed and Knickerbocker
doubled Campbell to third. Weaver
threw a wild pitch that let Campbell
score and Pinch-hitter George Uhle
dropped a broken-bat single into
short left field, just in front of Johnny
Stone.
Again the Griffs grabbed a lead in
the sixth, when Bluege singled, stole
second, and scored on another single
by Weaver. This made 1t 5-4, but
the lead as well as the game was lost
in the seventh. Two were out when
Weatherly doubled, Campbell walked
and Sullivan doubled to right.
Sullivan's hit should have tied the
score, but Campbell had no. business
scoring with the winning run. Cecil
Travis picked up the ball only 280
feet from home and couldn't make
up his mind where to throw it. He
tented at second base and finally
lobbed it to Joe Kuhel. Meanwhile,
