AAOAA 4AS AV44AS ~ VNI Al VIC SOO$
vention of Joe Kuhel and Jimm
The near fight followed New
SONS latest discontinue. He
had been knocked out Of the box
after pitching to two men in the
seventh inS;ng. Bill Rogel drew
a pass, the fifth given by Newsom
and Walker rocked the left-field
fence with a double, his second
hit off Newsom. The Huntsville
Breeze, stilled now to a dead
calm, walked to the bench and
watched Eddie Linke take his
place.
GosIin Hits Homer
Linke walked Greenberg, filling
the sacks, and then pitched what
afterward was described as a per
feet curve ball to Goslin, who hit
it out Of the lot, scoring four runs
and tying the score.
At long last, when the inning
was over, Frank Hogan commits
Serated with Linke and said
Tough luck, Ed. That was a fine
curve ball the Goose hit"
According to witnesses, New
som is alleged to have said with
a sneer: Must have been q fine
pitch. He hit the ball over the
wall. -"
"Weli, what happened to your
stuff" Hogan challenged, 1t was
said.
"You tend to the catching,
and I'll do the pitching" barked
Newsom.
''If 1 attended to your pitch
ing, I'd have nothing to attend
to-" said Hogan.
NewsOm is alleged to have
started for Hogan, and when
did . guy named Hogan shrink
from q fight?
Frank doubled up his ham.
like fists and stood his ground.
If it were battle that NewsOm
wanted, then it was battle that
NewsOm would get "a couple
of men in the National League
chose Hogan, but they chose
him just once.
A promising situation was
ruined by the Intervention of
cooler heads.
NEWSOM HIT HARD
There is something to be said
in extenuation on both sides
These shellings that the Crit
pitchers have taken all too FIRE
uuently have worn their nerves
to razor edge, and barbed theil
tongues. Newsom had lost q
tough game to Detroit over a week
ago, and had been slapped down
by the Boston Red SoX on May "a
in Boston.
Newsom had no alibi in the
world for the happenings yester
day. The Griffs, aided by hall
a dozen errors in the first five
innings, had established a lead
of seven runs. But NewSom started
cracking in the fourth inning
when two sensational catches by
Johnny Stone saved at least one
run. In the fifth the Tigers scored
two runs after two were out, and
in the sixth they scored one run
with two out. When they started
working on Newsom in the seventh
Harris justly removed him ano
sent in Linke, who passed Green
berg and then pitched the ole
home-run ball to Goslin.
Linke was relieved by Sid Cohen
who pitched his usual shut-out
ball, and finally Harris called
upon Cascarella. Just why Harris
made this move in view Of thu
record is most amazing. 1t /!
Harris duty to know that Casca
rella had allowed on an average
of one earned run for every in
ming he pitched. Well, Cascarells
improved upon past performances
He pitched two innings yesterday
and allowed four earned runs.
Stanley Raymond Harris HEX
q long conference with PreSiden
Clark c. Griffith over the lonl
distance telephone last night, anC
the probabilities are that waivers
will be asked on CaScarella. Harris
made no effort to mask his feel
ings on the subject of his ALLEGED
pitching staff. He spared Prof
Monte Weaver and Jimmy De
Shong. Also he had a kind wore
for Sid Cohen, who in nine re
lief assignments has allowed ont
earned run and five hits for siI
bases. Cohen had walked only
two men.
Long Distance Talks
Three long distance converse
tionS in which Harris and Eynor
participated undoubtedly wert
with ball clubs, major or minor
and, unquestionably, concerned
pitchers. Something has to b.
done, and done right now If thii
club is going to remain anywhere
near the first division.
There has been a lot Of tall
about needing a catcher. Bosh ant
nonsense. Hogan is hitting now
