~LEVEIAND, Ohio, June s.
The Nationals did their part
again today to keep the
Yanks from making a run
away OF the American League race
Behind the unpardonable pitching Of
Carl Fischer, they lost to the second
place indians in an 8-to-6 game, al
though for a while it looked as if the
valiant bats of the Mats were going
to undo all the bad wrought by the
kinky-headed southpaw
Trailing, to 8, going into tho
eighth round, the Mats came out
swinging and scored three runs to
make show out of the affair. II
their rally fell short they at least had
the satisfaction of knocking Willis
Hudlin out of the box and prevent
pitching victory under his own
power.
Hudlin should have breezed to vic
tory, for his mates hoped on Fischer
for four runs In the first inning and
kept pecking away at Carl and Joe
Cascarella thereafter. But as the game
wore on Hudlin wore down and finally
the rejuvinated Joe Heving was rushed
to the rescue He did great Job with
his fire hat on.
Lewis Opens With Homer.
John KELLY LEWIS, who plays
third base for the Griffs, presented
r,erhAv n lad hnfnra 10 ri
threw pitch plateward. In the first
inning Lewis belted a mighty home
run over the centerfeld fence and
then took his position in the field and
saw a quartet of less mighty blows
more than make up the Cleveland
deficit.
Before Carl could get one batter
ous the Indians were in front with
lead they never lost. Lyn Larry
opened with a double and Bruce
Campbell walked Earl Averill
whacked home run over the right
field fence, making it 81. and Hal
Trosky kept the rally alive by tripling
Al this point Mr.. Steve O'Neill, who
manages the Cevelands, was glad
that Fischer is one of those fellows
who doesn't obey orders Earlier this
season Steve, in burst OF rage, told
Fischer to get out Of League Park
and stay out.
At that time Carl was wearing an
Indian headdress, but the Washing
tons bought Fischer and today he
boldly made his way into the park,
ONeill's orders to the contrary.
Fischer Routed in Fifth.
CARL got the next two hitters out,
but he walked Frankie Pytlak and
pitched single to Roy Hughes, who
drove across Trosky with the run that
made 1t Al. The side finally was
retired when the Tribe attempted a
double steal and Pytlak was tagged
1T the plate.
Cleveland boosted the count to ST.
IN the third inning, when Trosky and
julius solters singled and Sammy
Hale flied to Stone, letting Trosky
score.
Then. in the NTH, they chased
Fischer out of the box Carl walked
Averill to open the inning and Trosky
promptly doubled Earl to third base.
This brought Cascarella into the
game, and Joe's first act was to throw
single to Solters Both runners
scored on this, and, presto, the score
was IL.
Cascarella improved thereafter, al
though a base on balls to Campbell
and singles by Averill and Solters pro-
duced the Tribes eighth and final run
In the sixth round
Meanwhile, Hudlin had shaken OF
the effects OF Lewis first inning
home run and was breezing along
in fine style until the sixth inning
when the Mats launched an apollo
eetic sort Of an attack with two out
and showed across a run.
Finally Awaken in Eighth.
HUDLIN walked Buddy Myer and
Johnny Stones triple did the
rest.
In the seventh, the Mats got an
other when Travis singled with one
down and Cascarella pushed another
hit to centerfield after Shanty Hogan
had gone out. This brought up Ben
Chapman, who doubled off the right
feld fence, scoring Travis and put
ting Cascarella on third. Lewis,
however, rolled out to end the In
ming. This made it 8-3 and then
came the Mats big inning. The only
trouble was that it wasn't big enough.
Myer started it with a single and
Stone sent him racing to third with
= double. 1t was, incidentally, Johnny's
third good, solid hit of the day. The
attack tailed OF when AL Simmons
rolled out. Myer scoring, and Kuhel
flied harmlessly to Solters.
However. Cecil Travis banged a
drive to left for . single, Stone scor-
ing. and Solters played the ball like
shoemaker. 1t went through his
legts for an error, and when julius
returned 1t Travis had scored with
the Mats sixth run.
This brought Heving to the rescue
and he whitfield Hogan for the third
out. In the ninth he set the Mats
