ID EvERSING the procedure that has
~ marked the Washington losing
streak, the Griffs took a lead in the
first inning, when Jesse Hill singled,
raced to third on a one-bagger by Joe
Kuhel, and scored while Ben Chap
man was forcing Kuhel at second
with, of all things, an outfield fly.
Chappie looped short fly to right
and Messrs. Roy Hughes and Roy
Weatherly let it fall between them.
Kuhel, fearful it would be caught,
clung to first base and was forced by
the throw from the outf1eld.
The Indians, unleashing the first
portion of their 16-hit attack OF
Buck Newsom. forged to the front
in the second inning. Weatherly dou-
bled to open the frame and Pytlak
singled him to third base. When Vos-
mix also singled, Weatherly scored
and Pytlak took third.
Knickerbocker popped out, and
when Brown grounded to Red Kress
the Grifiian sf1ortstop tagged Pytlak
at the plate to give Newsom . dght-
ing chance. Hughes, however, SIN
sled to score Vosmik and make it 2-l,
and things might have gone on IN
definitely II Reynolds fine throw to
Lewis at third had not nailed Brown
as he attempted to take third on
Hughes hit.
washington tied it up in the third
inning when Lewis beat out an infield
hit, moved to third on Kuhefs sec
ond single, and scored on Chapmans
roller to Knickerbocker. Then. in
the fourth, the Griffs went ahead for
the second time when Buddy Myer
opened with q one-bagger and con-
tinued to second base when Averill
fumbled. On Bottoms iafield out
Myer advanced to third, from where
he scored when Newsom beat out o
freak hit In front Of the plate.
Buck Given . Razzing.
IRON . loyal local viewpoint that
l. was all there was to the game.
Brown, despite suffering from q
stomach ailment, actually pitched
better ball toward the end. and never
vas in serious danger Of being scored
upon with any degree Of frequency.
Newsom, however, discovered that
his toughest bumps were to come. In
the fifth inning, with two down.
Averill smacked . single for one OF
his three hits, and Hal Trosky lifted
his twenty-third home run OF the
season over the right-11eld fence.
That is, he would have lifted It over,
except for . photographers pen built
atop the wall. The drive struck one
Of the pipes up there and bounced
back to the playing field. but the UNI
pires ruled 1t . homer and, 10 and
behold, the Indians were ahead by
<-3.
Nevsom rallied after this turn Of
events, but in the eighth the Indians
reached him again and boosted the
count to 5-3. A double by Averill
opened the frame. Trosky sacrificed
and weatherly grounded to Myer,
whose throw to the plate was too late
to catch Averill. Pytlak then singled
Weatherly to third, but the rookie
Indian outfelder was nailed at the
plate when he and Pytlak attempted
q double steal. Vosmik ended the
inning with a grounder.
Newsom, who was fortunate In
escaping with what damage was in
1licted. blew up completely in the
ninth. While the customers razzed
and booed Buck, and demanded his
removal Newsom pitched six base
hits to the Tribe, including Trosky's
second home run Of the game. When
the smoke had cleared the score
was 1913.
Brown started the game -clinching
uprising when he tripled to center
with one down. Hughes, Hale and
Averill promptly singled in success
sion to score two runs and leave two
men ON base. Trcsky scored both Of
them with his home run.
r Weatherly tripled after this big
blow, but nothing came Of it. It
wouldn't have mattered anyway.
