13, and they banged the greater
number Of hits off the short right
field wall. Everybody in the Nat
lineup, except the last two pitchers
used. got safeties with Buddy Lewis
leading with a single, double and
triple in order. Joe Kuhel, with a
single and a double, drove across
three runs, the greatest total for
any batter, but 1t was Mike Kree-
vich who hit the single In the ninth
to put across the last two telling
tallies in the 11-8 battle.
Dutch Meyer and Felix Mackie-
wicz got three hits apiece off the
Washington pitching. However, it
was AL Cihocki, who had been a
mark for Washington pitchers In
previous games, who made life mis-
erable for them this time. He came
through with single and triple
and each hit drove in runs that
frightened the game dangerously.
Biggest Cleveland hit was JEFF
Heath's homer over the right-field
wall. It was made OF Haefner at
the outset Of the sixth and was
Heath's 18th circuit drive of the
year.

tend he might come along. Pecu-
