A 44-year- old Washington record
Is threatening to become extinct
over the week end if the Mats con-
tinue their current conduct. 1t was
in the horse-and-buggy era of 1904
that Washington fashioned string
of IS defeats, a strictly local mark
which will be eclipsed Sunday
against Cleveland unless the Mats
register an upset.
Washington has compiled nine
consecutive losses-merely a RECORD
for the season, since the 1947 Mats
rolled up IL straight setbacks-but
prospects of achieving dubious dis
tinction appear bright if the St
Louis Browns can hurdle Ray Scar
borough tonight.
Scarborough Chief Hope.
Scarborough looms as sturdy
stumbling block to Washington bid
for the seeded No. l spot in the
futility division. for Ray alone among
the Mats starters displays a VIM
ming record. AS the Mats pursue a
tenth successive loss, Scarborough
an old spoil-sport, will be seeking a
18th victory.
Despite Scarborough's effective
pitching however, the Mats possess
the ability to prolong their streak.
Rays record against the Browns
this year is %, which would indi-
cate the Mats have an even chance
of prolonging their impressive chain
of collapses.
Their continued losses still
haven't placed the Mats within
striking distance of the American
League mark. That's the thrice
tied record of 20 successive defeats
set by Boston in 1906 and equaled
by Philadelphia in 1916 and again
in l943 And the Mats aren't within
shouting distance of the National
League championship of "a straight
losses established by Cleveland in
1899.
Washington merely has to con-
tinue it's present behavior to ioir
such company, though, for when
the Mats get good pitching they
