Newsom Ready
To Help Griffs,
1-Hit Win Hints
Curbs Tigers EosiIy,

BY BURTON HAWKINS.

Gigantic Buck Newsom slicked
his thinning hair into its proper
place, gave it a final pat of ap-
proval, winked and said, It told
va I'd be in shape by the time We
met the Tigers and that I'd beat
EN-. Just put it down that I'm
gonna be better than I've been
so far this season. I'm in good
shape now"
Newsom UNDERSTANDABLE was
strutting. He had dealt Detroit,
the club that thankfully traded him
to Washington several weeks ago.
a humiliating defeat, TO. He had
permitted only one hit-the first
1-hit game of the major league
season-and over one span had
retired 18 Tigers in order.
Buck was brilliant yesterday at
Griffith Stadium against the Tigers
in notching his fourth victory.
Working for the third time in five
days, he yielded no hits after Roger
Cramer tripled with one out in the
third inning. Rudy York was the
only Tiger to reach first base in
those final six innings, walking with
two out in the ninth.
There was an ironic touch to
Newsom's triumph, however, for it
was Buck who reinjured Outfielder
George Cases shoulder when he
leaned heavily on it while arising
from the steps of the Washington
dugout during the game. Cases

is expected to remain idle at least
10 days.
Case Apt to Miss Trip West.
Case, who damaged his left shoul-

ago, was expected to return to duty
today but when Newsom assisted
himself up the steps via Georges
shoulder he aggravated the injury
so badly Case may be forced to
miss the Mats entire Western trip.

The huge righthander was just
another guy in a corset until he
stepped to stardom in the last World
Series by browbeating the Brooklyn
Dodgers on four hits in the final
turbulent game at Ebbets Field.
Since then he has recovered from
his lame back, cast off the brace he
wore in struggling to a mediocre 9
and record last season, and has
become one of the glamor boys
of the 1912 pitching parade.
Bonham Wastes No Time.
1t took Bonham only an hour and
"a minutes to mesmerize the Indians
in one Of the quickest nine-inning
matched against jim Bagby, who
technically had become the leading
pitcher in the big leagues by win
ming five games without a defeat,
and the way the big Californian
smothered the Tribe into helpless
ness was heartless, even for the
crowd Of 1900 that came out to
see just IIldI.
The Indians five singles were
spread into as many different in
nings and they were able to get only
seven other balls out of the inf1eld.
Only one Cleveland runner reached
second and none went beyond.
In the meantime the Yanks
punched five of their eight hits into
the third and fourth innings for
two runs and after Bagby had
given way to a pinchhitter they
showed their impartiality by tally
ing a final marker off Lefty Al
Smith in the eighth.
1t was Cleveland's fourth straight
loss after winning 13 in a row and
dropped the Tribe into tie for
second with the Boston Red SoX,
who nosed out the Chicago White
SoX 81.
Doerr's Homers Beat Lyons.
The latter game was stirring
pitching duel between old Ted Lyons
and Joe Dobson, each of whom al
lowed six hits. Lyons could cope
with all the Red Seekers except
Bobby Doerr, who hit a home run
in the eighth and another with one
on in the 10th to account for all
Boston's runs. Chicago's only tally
also was a homer by rookie Leo
Wells, who was one of an entire new
infleld Manager Jimmy Dykes
started in an effort to break his
clubs string of 13 losses in ID games.
