Bosox's Mcbride Ties Modern
Mark With & RBI in Inninq

A modern record for the ma jor
leagues was tied by Tom Mcbride
Red Sox reservist yesterday as Joe
Cronin's clan put on that awful
12-run blast in the fourth round of
the second game of the double
header at Griffith Stadium.
When Mcbride, coming up twice
with the bases crowded, first cleared
them with a triple then with a
double, driving in six runs in all in
the round, he matched mark held
by only two others.
In the National League, Fred
Merkle of New York's Giants batted
in six runs in the first inning of a
game played May 13, 1911. In the
American League, Bob Johnson, now
with the Red Sox, but then with
Philadelphia's Athletics, smashed in
six runs in the opening round OF
the first game played on August
20, 1887.
But the record for all time is
seven runs Back in the early days
of the organized game, Edward
Cartwright of the st. Louis Amer
ican Association club did it. 1t
happened on September %, 1890.
At last, the pitching problem has
caught up with Manager Joe Gro
min Of the Red Sox. He had little
left for today's double-header other
than a pair of reservists, Glen Haus-
mann and George Woods, but the
Mats hope to start new winning
run with Dutch Leonard and Roger
Wolff on the hill. The tussling to-
day will be the last here until Au-
gust 81. Then a twilight-night dou-
ble-header with New York's Yam

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Tall Hal New
houser, who won 20 games for De-
troit last year, eased up for a few
moments in the seventh inning to-
day when he was nursing 20 lead,
and because of it the Chicago White
Sox won their second straight from
the leading Tigers, 30.
Detroit had scored twice in the
third inning and Newhouser had
given up but three hits going into
the seventh. To the 5,128 fans it
looked as if big Hal was on his
way to shutout.
Then the explosion came. He
walked Johnny Dickshot to start
the seventh. Floyd Baker and Guy
Outright both singled to fill the
bases, and Cass Michaels doubled
to right to score Dickshot and Baker.
Catcher Mike fresh layed down q
squeeze bunt to score Outright.
Aside from that inning, however,
Newhouser was scarcely touched.
He gave up four more hits, but never
more than one an inning.
Orval Grove gave Detroit eight
hits in winning his tenth victory
of the year. with three singles in
the third accounting for all the
Tigers runs. Bob Maier led of with
a single and went to third on an
error by fresh when Newhouser
was safe at first on a flelder's
choice. Jim Webb singled to score
Maier, and Roy Nullenbine singled
to score Newhouser.
Grove kept the rest of the Detroit
hits well scattered and was not in
trouble the rest of the way.
The loss was the seventh of the
season for the ace Detroit hurler.
