Masterson victimized
Again as Mats Blow
so Lead 10 Tigers

Two months ago Walter Master
son pitched respectable game in
dropping 81 decision to the
Browns and the Mats tall, dark and
irksome right-hander has reason to
remember the occasion. 1t marked
the last time he unleashed a pass
able performance.
Since then MaSterson has made
eight appearances, all of which were
mistakes. He has pitched a total of
1875 innings and this Is the record
for that span: 80 runs, % hits and
"a walks. No other major league
pitcher can approach that record for
futility.
So, with last nights epic at Grit
nth Stadium tied at SIS and with
two innings remaining, Masterson
was summoned from the bullpen to
throw to the Tigers. There was no
surprises for the 1890 customers.
Walter walked Hank Greenberg,
then walked Eddie Mayo, inviting
the disaster that followed.
He struck out Pat Mullin and
Jimmy Outlaw was safe on a Gerry
Priddy error. Into that bases
jammed situation stepped Birdie
Tebbetts to unload a single to CEN
ter, scoring two runs, sewing up
the game neatly for Detroit and
presenting successive defeat No. 4
to Mr.. Masterson.
There was a time when the Mats
could have made nice sort of deal
by stripping themselves of Master
son, but now he wouldn't bring a
rusty bottle top in exchange. He's
yalueless to the Mats as a pitcher
and he's valueless as bait in a trade,
so Washington is stuck with the
perenially promising pitcher who
never makes the grade.
In his misery last night, Masterson
had company, for the Mats compiled
a SO lead against Hal Newhouser
only to lose, 10-5, as the Tigers
southpaw staggered to his 18th VIC
tory. Newhouser was clipped for II
hits and at the end of five innings
the Mats were coasting comfortably
Wltu InOSe HVe runs.
Ray Scarborough had shit
shutout operating when the explo-
sion occurred. Eddie Lake started
1t with single in the sixth inning.
George Kell contributed another
single and the bases were loaded
when Hoot Evers walked. They were
loaded, but not for long. Hank
Greenberg wiped 'em clean with a
mighty triple to the center field
corner.
In came Roger Wolff to retire the
next two batters. but he walked
Outlaw. then pitched a double to
Tebbetts and the score was tied as
Greenberg and Outlaw romped
across.
Wolff lasted another inning before
being forced to leave with REIN
jured side. Then came Masterson
and there went the game, with the
Tigers increasing that assurance
with a three-run outburst against
Marino Pierretti in the ninth.
Mickey Vernon, with four straight
singles, and Stan Spence. with
double and two singles, spanked the
Mats attack.
Bob Feller was to pitch today as
the Cleveland Indians invaded for a
three-game series, with Sid Hudson
slated to start for the Mats. The
Mats and Indians will tangle in
double-header here tomorrow in
Washington's final home appear
ance until August 6. B.H.
