SECOND SHORE WIN
CENTREVILLE'S AIM
Colts at Salisbury Today After
Blasting Indians in 81 Flag

SALISBURY, Md, September 49,
Centreville's clouting Colts can
tered into Salisbury today cooked to
take another kick at the Indians in
the Eastern Shore League pennant
play-off series.
The Colts aren't kidding. either.
They showed that yesterday by tram
pling the highly touted Indians to
in the opening game of the series with
an explosive 15-hit attack.
The second game of the series will
be played tonight in Salisbury's park
The pennant goes to the club that wins
the first three games.
A paid crowd of 2,735-larger than
the towns population-turned out for
the opening game at Centreville yes
terday and saw the Colts let loose a
barrage that all but blasted the Indian,
from the field.
So vicious was the attack that both
George Comellas and Leon Revolinsky

wilted before it,

pitched the leagues first no-hit. no.

Yankees battle to six games to win.
At the time Terry had Hubbell, Fitz-
simmons and Schumacher as his Big
Three.
Hub was the only left-hander
and only he and Schumacher
won over the American Lea
guers.
Now Fitz is gone but Melton stands
in his place Hubbell is still in the
picture, dead game and great and
Schumacher, too, is ready for another
shot.
On the other bench, Monte Pearson
is doubtful starter in the series and
an even more doubtful winner. Monte
accounted for one of the Yankees
victories last year, but now he has the
elbow miseries. Hadley picked up
game, too, but he is by no means a
good bet to repeat. Gomez won two
from the Giants in the 1886 series
and he may do it again, but Red
Ruf1ng has yet to win in the classic
and figures to be no better than an
even money bet.

IN HIS last five games, of which he
started and finished all except one,
Chase has pitched AZ innings and
given up only 25 hits and six earned

three times over this stretch and the

Phebus now has started and finished
two games. In the 18 innings involved
In completing these tasks Ray has
given up only two runs and seven hits.
And Krakauskas, of course, has a

Krakauskas viii Face Tigers.


A S FOR Krakauskas, he has made
Harris throw all previous pitch
ing plans out of the window. Despite
the presence of such well-known
right-handed hitters as Hank Green
berg, Gerald Walker, Rudy York and
Pete Fox in the Detroit lineup, Kra-
kauskas tomorrow will be assigned the
Job of facing the Tigers. The game
will open Washington's final home
stand of the year.
Harris is certain that Chase is
major Lacquer and he is willing to
modestly wager that Phebus also is
ready. Now he wants to find out
more about Krakauskas, the stocky
Lithuanian southpaw who came up
from Trenton and won his first major
league game few days ago as
relief pitcher. In winning Krakauskas
stopped the Athletics with one hit in
seven innings. And at the time the
AS were red hot, what with just having
batted Dick Lanahan for six runs in
the first two innings.
Chase, Phehus and Krakauskas.
Probably no Washington ball club of
modern times had trio of pitchers
break in so impressively at the same
time.

Chase, Phebus Shine in Even
Break With Yanks-Krakky
Holds Much Promise.
RY FRANCIS F. STAN


~ ISPLAYING their first VIC
torious road record of the
season, the Griffs were back
- in town with Manager Bucky
Harris happily pondering the pleas
antries of tearing apart weak pitch
ing staff and replacing the incompe-
tents with members of his prospective
new big Three"-Messrs. Ken Chase,
Ray Phebus and Joe Krakauskas.
That 2-to-l victory that Chase
earned over the Yankees in the first
game of yesterdays double-header in
New York was all that Harris needed
to convince him that Kendall not only
is ready for the big time, but has the
essential asset known as heart.
Phebus was not so fortunate. The
new right-hander lost his first major
league game when Lefty Gomez eked
out 2-to-1 triumph in the nightcap.
But Phebus' stock scared even in de-
feat. The plucky Chattanooga grad
uate gave up only six hits to the
world champions in the process of
proving that his 2-to-0 shutout over
the Red Sox week ago was no fluke.
