BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Willis Hudlin pitched his second
successive f1ve-hitter for the Mats
yesterday at Griffith Stadium, but
don't jump at conclusions. He
pitched those five hits in the first
two innings. which was as long as
he was on the premises, as Detroit
mauled the Mats, 1873.
Hudlin, whose last effort was a
f1ve-hit 10-inning victory over
Philadelphia, was the first of three
Washington throwers to suffer hu-
initiation before some $500 CUSTOM
ers. Joe Krakauskas and Bucky
Jacobs also threw. much to the de-
light of the Tigers.
Mauling the trio for 10 hits, the
Tigers constructed TO lead in
three innings and coasted to the
decision behind the adequate 12-hit
pitching of an unusually orderly
Buck Newsom, who kept the Mats
in sixth place, precariously close to
seventh, in registering his sixth tri-
umph.
Bloodworth Helps Tigers.
Second Baseman Jimmy Blood
worth, through the medium of a
tumble on Barney McCosky's
grounder, launched the Tigers on a
three-run spree in the first inning.
Jimmy sandwiched his miscue be-
tween Dick Bartell's liner to Left
Fielder Gerald Walker and Charley
Gehringer's infleld out on which
McCosky advanced to second.
Towering Hank Greenberg punch
ed a single to left, scoring McCosky.
and after Rudy York walked Bruce
Campbell looped double to left
which sent Greenberg and York
scampering across the plate. At
that juncture Center Fielder Johnny
Welaj inserted a spectacular catch,
humping lightly into the center
field barrier as he snatched Pinky
Higgins deep drive with an over
the-shoulder running robbery.
Billy Sullivan launched the second
inning with single to right, moved
to second on Newsom's sacrifice. and
scored on Bartells crisp single to
left. McCosky scooted Bartell to
third with a double down the right
field line and Rowdy Richard scored
as Gehringer grounded out, Zeke
Bonura to Hudlin.
Krakky Takes Thumping.
Krakauskas was sent to the mound
by Manager Bucky Harris starting
the third and Detroit sent him to
the cleaners, whacking him for II
hits and six runs in the five innings
he labored
The Tigers in a jiffy produced two
runs off Krakky. He walked York
and disposed of Campbell and Hig-
gins, but Sullivan, Newsom and Bar
tell slammed him for successive sin
giles to boost Detroit's margin to TO.
Washington staged what amounted
to rally in the fourth, with Green
berg's aid. Welaj slashed double
to left and continued to third when
Hank allowed the hit to escape him.
Welaj scored after Walker flied to
Pete Fox, who had replaced Camp
bell in right.
Krakky comparatively was a SEN
sation in the fifth, allowing only one
run. That materialized when Hig-
gins and Sullivan singled in sue
cession, paused while Newsom famed
and then negotiated a double steel,
Higgins scoring and Sullivan taking
second.
Bengals Bunch Bingles.
Detroit's seventh was more dam
aging, the Tigers scoring three runs
on singles by Higgins, Newsom, Bar
tell, McCosky and Gehringer, plus
an error by Right Fielder George
Case on Newsom's hit.
The Mats whitfield the score to a
mere 11-3 in their half of the inning,
which was launched when Blood
worth beat out slow roller to Third
Bsseman Higgins. Jimmy Pofahl
drilled into a double play, but Jake
Early, Pinch-hitter Sammy West and
Case singled, doubled and singled in
that order to score two runs.
Newsom's double to left, Bartell's
inf1eld out and McCosky's single to
center IN the ninth made it q dozen
runs for Detroit, Jacobs being the
victim OF their final frolicing.
Bartell, McCosky, Sullivan and
Newsom each collected three hits off
the assorted Washington hurting.
