News0m Breaks Losing Streak.
THE nightcap was even more
eventful in that it marked Buck
Newsom's thirteenth victory Of the
season and the breaking of the big
right ht-hander's five-game losing streak.
Newsom held the Red Sox to half a

one of the best games he's worked this
season to re-establish himself.
The Sox took the lead in the fourth
Inning by scoring both of their runs
on a triple by Cramer, wild pitch. a
walk to Foxx. single by Kroner and
long fly by McNair. Thereafter
Newsom let em down with three hits.
Washington scored its first run in
the fifth when Jesse Hill and Travis
doubled in succession. Hill replaced
Reynolds, who was thrown out of the
game by Umpire Bill Summers for
protesting a decision. In the sixth
they won the ball game when Chap
man beat out a hit to short, moved
up on Lewis sacrifice, and scored on
8 single by Johnny Stone. who
punched it out after Kuhel had

Game Out Of Fourth Place.

GOING into the current three-game
series with the Yankees, Bucky
Harris gang is only one full game out
of fourth place. which at least nets
few bucks of the world series pool
While Joe CaSCarella, Pete Appleton
and Buck Newsom were pitching the
Mats to a double victory in Boston
yesterday, the fourth-place White Sox
dropped pair of games to the Tigers.
As long as the ChicagoS play some
club other than Washington, they
aren't so successful.
Harris threw the best he could mus
ter at the Red Sox yesterday and
consequently he isn't so well fixed for
pitchers for the New York series.
Nevertheless, Earl Whitehill has been
resting for the last four days, and
out of the plump southpaw may come
one of his good games today. Earl is
overdue to beat the YankS. Pete Ap-
pleton, hero of yesterdays opener,
proba bly, will face the Mccarthy men
tomorrow, with Jimmy De Shong
working Wednesday.
While the prospects of playing the
Yanks again, and on top of three sue
cessive series with New York and
Boston, is not particularly inviting,
respite is in the offing. The current
home stand of the Mats will last
only through Wednesday. Before re-
turning to Griffith Stadium next week
to open q stand against the Western
clubs, the WaShingtons will travel to
Philadelphia for f1ve-game series
with the Athletics. There, unless the
AS make more trouble than they've
made in the past, the Nationals should
gain more ground.

In the opener. Cascarella and Wes

the scored tied at 3-3, the Mats
bobbed up with four runs as a result
of singles by Buddy Lewis, Johnny
Stone and OSsie Bluege, walk to

Travis. The two-bagger by Travis
came with the bases loaded, scoring
three runs. 1t was tainted to the ex-
tent that 1t moved slowly over second
base in short hops. Ferrell apparently
thought Shortstop Eric McNair
should have ielded the ball, for he
cast him dirty look and walked off
the field, leaving Jack Russell to
finish.
The Sox came back strong in their
half of the eighth and chased Cas-

While counties in only % States

hard hit that many farmers are
appealing for aid.
Two Million Affected
Reports mean that, at an aver
age of four persons per family,
the drought has added more than
100000 to the relief load. 1t will

priation committees last spring
and estimated that the SLABS, 000,-
900 work relief appropriation act
would provide jobs for 2,250,00O
