Whitehill and then drove him out of

loaded on his third trip.
The first time he faced Brown he
was robbed of single by Second Base
man Roy Hughes, but he made up for
that by hitting home run inside the
park on his final time at bat. Four
hits in five trips! Despite getting two
hits himself, Lou Gehrig of the Yanks
was forced to relinquish the league
leadership to the young Georgian.
After the second inning the game
was all Washington. The Tribe got
10 lead, but the Mats went ahead

runs were cheap, what with Travis
