Mats Welcome Four Night Ti|ts
To ReuIign Worn-Out Hur|ers
Ten Used in Last Two Twin Bills, Corrosque
Winning and Losing in Split With Tribe

His pitching Stan exhausted bv
extensive employment in the past
two days. Manager Ossie Bluege of
the Mats is welcoming four success
sive night games as a medium of re-
aligning his slab assignments. In
brace of successive double headers
Sunday and yesterday Bluege was
forced to use 10 pitchers, twice sum-
moning Alex Carrasquel and Jim
Mertz from the bullpen
The only pitcher on the Wash
ington roster who didn't see service
in those twin bills was Rookie Lou
Carpenter and he was warming up
in the bullpen almost constantly.
Carrasquel started a game against
the White Sox on Saturday night
and twice was called on for relief
roles yesterday, winning the first
game from Cleveland. 81 and los
ing the second, 7-6, in l3 innings
before 1880 fans
For tonight's tiff with Cleveland
at Griffith Stadium at $50 o'clock
Bluege has no wide selection of
starters. He probably will choose be-
tween Edwald Pyle, who toiled only
two innings against the White Sox
on Sunday, or Milo Candini, who la
bored five innings in the same game.
Vernon Kennedy will pitch for the
Indians.
All in Need of Help.
Bluege'S pitching plans have been
altered because none of his starters
has remained the route in five
straight games He has seen Car
rasquel, Pyle, Lefty Gomez. Dutch
Leonard and Early Wynn battered
from the mound in successive starts
but while his pitching has sagged
Bluege at least has seen his hitters
display more dynamite.
The Mats batting rescued them
from complete embarrassment yes
terday when they unleashed a g.
run seventh inning against the In
dians in the first game to lock the
score at IT. then pushed over the
winning run In the eighth as
Johnny Sullivan beat out a bunt,
Carrasquel sacrificed and Stan
Spence singled.

vided Griffith Stadium customers

Baseball has three big week ends
pendence Day and Labor Day-and
the first of these has given the ma ior
leagues something to shout about,
if they have any breath left.
In three topsy-turvy days compris-
ing the extended observance of
Memorial Day in the big leagues,
80 games were PLAYED for the enter
tainment of 37l,7l3 paying GUS
toners.
When the whole bewilding business
was over. and the cleaners were
sweeping up the scorecards and pea
nut shells, the standings of both
leagues had been scrambled-but the
New York Yankees were on top in
the American and the Brooklyn
Dodgers still in front in the National.
The Dodgers preserved their
slender margin at the head of the
senior circuit by dividing a double
header at ST. Louis before 25.664
fans. the largest crowd in the Ma
tional League Yesterday
They were shut out, 10. in the
first game AS Mort Cooper pitched a

victory. Dixie Walker doubled. went
