Bengals Battered by Browns, AS.

Bengals Battered by Browns, AS.
THAT'S been the Nationals record
won and lost-since they rode
into Cleveland on May 20 to whip
the Indians twice running. Next they
went to Boston and took two decisions
In three games. From there they came
into Washington and did the same in
q three-game set with the Athletics.
Next were the two losses to the
Yanks. But now. as they go into to-
days finale with the Browns. the
Griffs have assured themselves of an
other series victory. Capturing four of
five series isn't bad pace.
The champion Tigers cannot touch
this record of late. When the AS whip
ped the Cochrane-led band yesterday it
marked Detroit'S fourth defeat in the
last five games and, emphasizing the
Bengals' plight, all of those tilts have
been played with the Browns and
Athletics. If you care to go back a
little farther, Detroit has dropped
eight Of its last 13 contests.
Among other items to brighten the
local outlook today was the fact that
Buck Newsom, at last. has registered
his sixth pitching victory. He took
over two weeks to get it, having won
his nth game in st. Louis on May Is,
and while he was none too impressive
yesterday, Buck at least is over the
hurdle. Maybe, from now on, better
pitching will be forthcoming from
NeWsom.
In chalking up the 7-to-4 win over
tse st. Loueys to run the current VIM
ming streak to three in a row, Newsom
was on the verge of either pitching a
very good game or blowing in the late
innings. He did neither, but it was
an improvement over the big right
handlers recent efforts.

nostrils of Uncle Clark Grit
l. fith's Nationals today as the
home side, for the first time since the
American League contenderS began
stretching out, maneuvered themselves
into position for a quick jump into an
undisputed first division niche.
The Harrismen today were to wind
up what already has been a highly
successful series with the Browns and
tomorrow they are to track down the
Tigers, species Detroit, in the opener
of a three-game series. Full posses
sion of fourth place, if it is not gained
by either side today, will be at stake.
The Griffs, who hoped into tie
with the Tigers yesterday By beating
the Browns for the sixth straight time,
7 to 4, had a good many reasons for
feeling optimistic today.
For one thing recent past per-
formanceS point to success in the
Forthcoming scraps with Detroit. The
double defeat that Washington sus-
tanned on Memorial day seems to have
detracted much attention from the
record the Nationals have piled up
lately. That they have won of their
last 13 games should stand out not in
spite of the Yankee slaughter, but be-
cause Of it.

screamed at officers:
"They rob me. They steal

Gorwitz was arrested on a war

bait them with imitation dimes.
Gorwitz denied he had placed
