D Maggo Return Lineup Gets Champion Yankees Back Winning St
BIoodworth, Star in Twin Win
Over Tribe, Soon to Grab Job
At Second Base From Myer


Cuban clouter who has snatched the
Mats left-field niche with a spec
tacular batting splurge; Pitcher Joe
Haynes, Catcher Jake Early and
BloodWorth all served time together
last year at Charlotte, N. c., and
because of their presence yesterday
the Mats today are cheerful group.
The colorful Estalella blasted a
brace of successive home runs in the
first game, which saw Haynes allow
the Indians only seven hits. Early
propelled the Mats into a 20 lead
in that same tiff, smashing a triple
off the center-field wall in the second
inning to score BloodWorth and
Ossie Bluege, who had singled in
succession with two out.
BloodWorth later added a double
in the same struggle and his fielding
also was impressive, and in that
second game, in which the Mats
rallied to register seven runs in the
ninth inning, BloodWorth further
distinguished himself
Hits in Pinch to Shine.
With two out and Cecil Travis and
Sammy West perched on second and
first through the medium of
scratch hit and walk, respectively,
Harris nodded for BloodWorth to
pinch-hit for Walter Masterson, the
Mats third pitcher.
Washington was trailing, 9-6, and
the chances of scoring even three
runs appeared remote. But Blood
worth Whacked a convincing base
hit off the right field screen, scor-
ing Travis and sending West to
| third.
Harris then ordered Johnny Welai
to run for Bloodworth, who had
played it safe and remained at first
base when Right Fielder Bruce
Campbell neatly fielded his drive of
the screen. Welaj promptly stole sec
ond to place the tying run in scor-
ing position.
That placed the issue up to George
Case and George didn't fail. He
rifled sizzling grounder to Short
stop Jim Webb and beat it out for
a hit, scoring West and moving
Welaj to third. Estalella walked
to fill the bases and place the bur-
den on the shoulders of Buddy
Lewis.
Lewis Produces Winning Runs.
Buddy came through. He drilled
single toward right field which
Second Baseman Oscar Grimes
knocked down with a dive, but
which scored Welaj and Case and
sent Estalella to third before Grimes
could recover.
Taft Wright walked to fill the
bases again and Travis Immediately
scored three by slicing a triple down
the left-feld line. With darkness
descending rapidly-it was 7:35
o'clock-Harris ordered Travis to
break for the plate and purposely
be caught stealing so the umpires
wouldn't be forced to call the game
and revert the score to the previous
inning.
Pete Appleton disposed of the en-
| barrassed Indians in the ninth.
Joe Krakauskas, southpaw, was to
hurl for the Mats today in the third
| game of the series, with Mel Harder
slated to toll for Cleveland.
