Joe's A Winner. After All.

A LII was jubilance in the camp Of
the Mats today. for il now has be-
come pretty well established that Joe
Cascarella, the diminutive crooner-
pitcher, can be a winner, after ali.
Joe. y'know. came from the Red Sox
IN trade for Jack Russell and promptly
proceeded to pitch four good games in
a row. The only fly in the ointment
was that he lost all four games. and
he dropped three of 'em by one-run
margins.
Followers Of the Mats looked wise
and intimated that no matter if Wash
ington got IL runs or one run, the
team would lose. with Cascarella pitch
ing. by either 13-to-12 or 2-to-l. II is
to be doubted if anybody is thinking
along those lines now.
Joe yesterday hurled the Mats to
victory over the Yanks by 7-to-3
count, and in doing so he was cred
tied with his third victory in his last
four times out. That certainly re-
flutes the former claim that he could
pitch but couldn't win. In light Of
his recent work, Cascarella unques-
tionably can do both.
He was given 5-to-0 lead in the

HOPE TO PASS S0X

CascareIIa's 7-3 Conquest
OF YankS for Two in Row
Boosts Teams Morale.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,

n YEW YORK, N. Y. August ia
N There is no way of figuring
VI the Nationals, it seems now, in
the wake of a second straight
victory over the Yankees. When they
seemingly had reached their peak and
had full strength on the field. the
Griffs went into tailspin and dropped
from second to sixth place. Now, torn
apart and playing utility men out Of
the position, they are off on another
winning spree and at the expense, of
all people, of the million-dollar Red
Sox and leading Yankees.
Logical reasoning would make it ap-
pear that Bucky Harris ball club, hav-
ing clinched the New York series. is
ready again to open the eyes of the
American League disciples. The Red
Sox, for all Of their gilt-edge, do not
rate in the same class with the
Yankees, with whom the Mats wind
up today and head for Boston. With
any kind of a break in luck, plus
continuation of the same play that
has marked the Gotham series 50 far,
Washington figures to make headWay,
starting in Boston.
Tomorrow is an open date for the
Mats, but they will squeeze in a four
game series with the Red Sox by play
ing single games Friday and Saturday
and double-header on Sunday.

n YEW YORK, August 12.-This
N is a great year for base ball
" club owners, sitting back
4 contentedly for the first time
since the economic depression swept
the land and hurt, in its wake, the
turnstile counts in virtually all major
league parks. Most of the minor
league club owners had to pawn their
turnstileS to keep their ball yards
open.
The picture of base balls prosperity
this year is pretty sight to behold.
People, with more loose dollars in
their pockets, are proving that base
ball hasn't been forgotten.
Except in st. Louis and Phil
adeIphia, in the American
League, clubs have drawn ex-
ceptiOnally well.
Aside from the financial angle an
other bright feature of the current
campaign has been the rookie crop.
BY and large it must be ranked among
the classiest of recent years. Enough
water has passed under the bridge.
to put it originally. to pass judgment
on the first-year crop of players, and
both leagues may well point with
pride to their yearlings.
Outfielders Reign in American.
IN THE American League the out
fielders are the brightest addi-
