Boston rallying to beat Pete Appleton
by a 6-5 count, but in the six and

there was definite promise Of valuable

that probably will determine where
the Griffmen will wind up. In those
six innings Linke stopped the slug
ging Red Sox cold, retiring 13 con-
secutive batters over one stretch and
giving up only two base hits.
Thus. despite the pitiful perform
ance of Newsom, Washington's pros

dark. Almost overnight Manager
Bucky Harris has been given cause
to believe that Linke and Rookie Ray
Phebus, late of Albany, will oe able
to help the curving department.

HOLD BEST LEAD

JUST when it appeared the lead
ing teams in the National
League didn't know the mean

York Giants righted themselves, and
as the result today enjoyed the big
gest lead they have yet held in the
pennant race
Over the week end the combined
efforts of the Giants, Cardinals and
Cubs produced only one victory. Yes
terday, however, Bill Terry's men
rallied, swept double header with
the Phillies and took five and six
game leads, respectively, over the
Cardinals and Cubs, who continued
their backsliding by losing two games
each.
While the Giants were whipping
the Phils, to and IA to II, the
Yankees all but clincned the Ameri-
can League pennant as they turend
back the Athletics, to and to 3.
The twin triumph placed the
Yanks in a position where they need
score only one more victory to
nail the flag to the post at the sta
dium. Either the Chicago White Sox,
Detroit Tigers or Cleveland Indians
still can tie, but they need take all
their remaining games while the
YankS drop all of their contests.

another guess, fans, If you
think Mickey Cochrane is
downhearted about the show
ing his Detroit Tigers made this sea-
son.
Right now, Cochrane is busy at
tempting to put his club in undis-
puted possession of second place, for
which the Bengals are tied with Chi
cago, but Mick also is so busy looking
ahead to 1887 that he says he hasn't
any time for brooding over the
breaks" which went against the
Tigers this season and played a part
in losing for them the American
league pennant and world title.
Has No Kick Coming.
CONSIDERING the injury which
robbed us of Hank Greenberg at
the start of the season, my own illness
and the retirement of Alvin Crowder,
among other things, don't think we
did so bad this year." the Bengal pilot
said. II think we'll finish second
and next year will be another year
and better one, I'Il certain"
The Tigers, he continued will make
every effort to strengthen their pitch
ing, even If one or two outfielders have
to be used in trades. The infield. with
the exception of first base. probably
will remain as it is, with Marve Owen
at third. Bill Rogell at short and
Charley Gehringer at second.
Expects to Come Back.
IT FEEL that Hank Greenberg will
be ready at first next season. "
Cochrane said, land that he will have
another great season. I'd like another
catcher, even though I believe III be
in shape again next Spring and hop
ing to do my share of work behind
the plate. Right now, I'm feeling
good"
The Tigers won the pennant in 1884
and last season took the world cham
pionship, completing two full seasons
in which the club had comparatively
no hard luck through injuries. From
the start of this years campaign the
breaks went against the team, Green
berg refracturing wrist hurt in the
world series, Cochrane going out with
illness and Crowder, for two seasons a
pitching mainstay. asking to be retired
because of sore arm and illness.

Clark Griffith took his first good
gander at the 1886 Nationals last Feb

success scarcely will be debated.
Definitely, Washington has estab-

color in a ball club, which is what
Bucky Harris current edition packs in
measure unmatched by any Griffith

The attendance figures, at the
close of this campaign, will
prove 1t.
From the very outset of the season,
when only the tales of the war cor

its ball club and showed it in pretty
certain style when 81 900 customers

THEY showed it again on July 4,
when $4,000 jammed their way
into the stadium to watch a double

They showed it again yesterday, when
% 900 turned out to watch the Griffs
again-when nothing more than third
place in a pennant race already de-
cided was at stake
Nor does Washington furnish the
only fans who appreciate the box

Mats Rally to Grab Opener.

THE Griffs went nowhere in par
ticular yesterday, but the show
they staged in conjunction with the
Red Sox was as good as ever will be
seen. In the opener they spotted
De Shong 81 lead after two in
nings and saw the Sox come back
and take a Al lead that held good
until the sixth inning rolled around.
Then, while $4,000 fans worked
themselves into early stages of hys-
terra, Washington tied it up in the
sixth, A, and came back in the
seventh to score two more runs,
making it Ga.
They took some time to do it, but
when they finally found the range
on Jack wilson the Griffs wasted no
time in chasing him. In the game
tying rally Travis singled and Mihalic
doubled him to third, from where he
scored on an error, while Mihalic
took third. Millies scored Mihalic
with an infleld fly.
In the seventh the long-hitting
Johnny Stone leaned into Wilson's
fast ball and parked it near the
scoreooard for triple and caused
Jack Russell to hurry to the rubber
Sington, who promptly singled Stone
home. crossed the plate later on
double by Miles.
Second Game Heart Breaker.
THE night-cap was heart-breaker.
Newsem was complete flop and
Linke was rushed to the rescue before
the first inning was completed. BY
the time Ed reached the scene the
Sox were ahead, 80, and Fritz
Ostermueller seemingly was unbeat-
able In the sixth the Bostons
managed to get their first hits off
Linke-two in all-and boosted the
count to 40
Then the Mats stsTm broke in the
seventh. With one down, Shanty
Hogan singled and Reynolds, batting
for Linke, drew a walk. Chapman
singled to score Hogan and Jess Hill
singled across Reynolds. After Kuhel
had popped up, Sington lined out a
double to score Chapman and Hill
and tied the score, "A.
Appleton enterd the box at this
point and promptly put himself in
line for hero's halo by retiring the
Sox in order in the eighth and
tripling across Buddy Lewis, who ran
for Hogan, in Washington's half,
making it 5-4
Victory for the Mats wasn't in the
books, however, for Cronin's single,
Melillo's sacrifice, Rick Farrell's
triple and Yves Ferrells long fly
produced two runs for Boston in the
ninth and won the game, although
the Griffs made gallant try in their
last rap" when Hill doubled to set
the stage for new rally.
Kuhel, however, failed to bunt fair
and finally popped up. Then Sington
and Pinch-hitter Cecil Travis went
out in order.
