ALL Teamsters

Although long expected by the

commotion in the ranks OF organ
lied labor.
The teamsters are scheduled to

Wynn. Chandler. who has won 10
games, was nicked for a run in tho
third inning when Case doubled,
took third after Spence flied to Bud
Metheny and scored on Powell's neat
bunt.
, With considerable aid from Wynn,
New York grasped 2-1 lead in the
seventh. Metheny opened with a
single, but was forced by Bill john
son. Keller walked and Nick Etten
pumped single to center, scoring
johnson and shifting Keller to third.
Mats Triumph in 10th.
In that situation Dickey tapped
to Wynn and Keller was trapped be-
tween third and the plate. He was
trapped, that is, until Wynn mys-
teriously threw to first base, per-
mitting Keller to score.
With two out in the ninth It
seemed that boner was slated to end
the Mats winning streak. johnson
had tripled with one out in the
ninth, but Vernon tapped meekly to
Chandler as Bob remained on third.
Jake Early raped an ordinary
grounder at First Baseman Etten,
but the ball skipped off the end Of
his glove for tainted single, per-
mitting johnson to score with the
tying run.
The Mats produced the winning
rim with two out in the 10th. Case
singled, moved to second as Spence
walked and Powell proceeded to
break up the game with single to
center, scoring Case.
Wynn restricted the Yankees to
five hits, while the Mats mustered
nine off Chandler, with Powell pro-
ducing three of them.

Double Beating by Mats Makes Yanks Tighten Down Set>
Record Against New York Best
BY Washington Club in Years

Displaying their longest winning
streak Of the season and their best
record in years against the Yankees
AN even break in % games-the
Mats still may produce a 20-game
winning pitcher in Early Wynn, who
can reach that goal by sweeping his
last three starts Of the campaign.
Wynn, who registered victory No.
II yesterday at Griffith Stadium in
the 10-inning, 80, opener of a
double header with the Yankees
also beaten in the second game, 5-1,
to the undisguised glee of 30,851 Gus
tomers-is calculated to start three
times in the Mats remaining IL
games. Eight of these contests will
be played as part of twin bills.
When the Mats resume operations
Wednesday night In twilight-night
double header with st. Louis they'll
carry nine-game winning streak
into action and also will own string
OF Is successive triumphs at Griffith
Stadium. Wynn probably will pitch
Thursday night against the Browns
and otherwise figures to face the
White Sox and Tigers.
Case Resting Sore Leg.
George Case, striving to lead the
league in stolen bases for a fifth
successive season, hopes to return
to the Mats lineup following two
day rest. Leading Chicago's Wally
Moses by two stolen bases, Case was
forced to retire in the second game
with pulled muscle in his left leg.
Case tied his personal record in
the first game, stealing his 51st base
to match his 1899 output. Moses con-
tlnues to jeopardize Cases suprem-
acy since the White Sox have played
two less games than the Mats.
The Mats, victorious in IA of their
last IL games and winner of their
last five collisions with the pennant-
bound Yankees, succeeded In en-
barrassing the league leaders in the
nightcap. Mickey Haefner limited
them to two hits, both delivered in
the first inning, while the Mats
pounded Ernie Bonham for IA hits,
including three each by Stan Spence
and Gerald Priddy.
The two triumphs sliced New
York's lead to the still command
ing advantage of nine games. but
the Mats at least succeeded in de-
laying New York's pennant party.
To clinch the pennant the Yankees
need to win only five of their re-
manning IA games even should
washington sweep its remaining
II contests.
Heafner Pitches Best Game.
Heafner, who captured his 10th
win against only four losses, yielded
a run IN the first inning when
Charley Keller tripled to score
frankie Crosetti, but thereafter
the Yankees reached base only four
times, twice on walks and twice on
errors by Third Baseman Bob john
son. Little Haefner struck out seven
In unleashing his best perform
ance Of the year.
The Mats pounced on Bonham for
three runs in the first inning as Case
beat out bunt, Spence tripled and
Jake Powell and Mickey Vernon
singled. They picked up another
run in the third on Spence's single,
Powell's sacrifice and Johnson's dou-
BILE and fashioned their final run In
the seventh on Gene Moores double
and Johnson's single.
Washington dealt Spud Chandler
his fourth defeat of the season In
the opener, despite a brainstorm by
