The Washington times., 1937-06-05

Yankees, whom they beat twice in
three starts here in the series just
closed.
Now If you mentioned the name
of Steve O'Neill in the public
square here, four guys will start
singing: For he's a jolly good
fellow"
Even without Teller, the Indians
are a threat to any club in the
league. They don't figure to win,
but they certainly are doing all
right for the moment.
The Tigers had a lot of fun
jockeying Chapman when Ben
came to bat in the first inning.
Twas right jolly until Chappie
rocked the welkin-yea. it probably
was the welkin, with double.
But Bridges turned the bats of
Lewis, Myer and Stone into match
sticks and Chappie was left on
third. What a hurler, that boy
Bridges.
Denny Gatehouse will pitch for
the Indians today, with Carl
Fischer the likely choice for the
Griffs. It will be Monte Weaver
tomorrow if the left handler goes
today.
George Moriarty called Joe
Kuhel out at first base in the Sec
ond inning on an eyelaSh play
You could get plenty Of 8 to in
the press box that Kuhel had the
play beaten.
How are they going to stop this
guy Greenberg? He hit a smash
into the right-field pavilion yes
terday that will do until better
home run comes along.
Chapman scratched a hit to
Rogell in the third inning He
hit lazy hopper to Rogell, who
didn't even make a throw on the
fleet-footed Chappie.
Kuhel speared a line drive by
Tebbetts in the third inning. thus
killing a base hit. Thai ball
looked great when it left the bat.
Myer turned his back to the
stands and raced for center field
when Rogell looped a liner over
the infield. That ball looked great,
but Myer Snagged it all right.
Kuhel hit a perfect curve ball
into the right field stands for a
home run that tied the score in
the fifth inning. It was the first
ball Bridges pitched.
Add to Things I'll Never Under.
stand: Why did Stone take a cut
at the first ball Bridges pitched in
the fifth inning?
Bridges had walked four men.
three of them in row, had forced
over a run and the bases were still
damned the first ball was
wide of the plate and would have
heen called ball. The second was
wide and was called a ball
with a two and nothing count,
Bridges would have been in a hole
AS it was, the Griffs played the
Tigers game.
Add to Unusual Innings: The
Griffs got a home run and four
passes in the fifth inning but
scored only two runs. If that COM
bination had been mixed up a little
there's no telling what might nave
happened.
Charley Gehringer is suffering
from a torn leg muscle, but there's
nothing wrong with his batting
eye. The Sphynx slashed a single
into right field.
Chapman was tossed out by
Gehringer in the seventh inning.
ending a streak during which he
reached first base 10 consecutive
times.
The relief pitching situation OF
the Griffs is even worse than the
starting pitching problem. With
the exception of Weaver and De
Shong the starters can't finish
and believers can't relieve. What
a mess that makes.
There's no profit in sending
anyone into the fray when hits
roar like the Oregon at target
practice 1t has come to a point
where either the starting pitcher
goes the route, or you Just give w
the ghost.
In fact, you're all ready to hanc
over the ghost when anyone ex
cept Monte Weaver and Jimm;
DeShong are pitching, or mayn'
Carl Fischer. Sid Cohen is thu
