CHICAGO, July 16.-Chicagos
Bob Klzava. who rarely beats any,
body but the Mats, who rarely
beats anybody. continued his mas
terry of the wobbly Washington
team today. He restricted the
Mats to six hits. all singles, and
beat EN-, 5-l, with minimum Of
exertion.
The left-handed Kuzava thus
notched his fifth victory of the
campaign and his third of the year
over the Mats. who dropped their
18th decision in 20 games and
sagged within Ia games of the
seventh place White Sox.
Washington's lone run was the
result of Chicago's cooperation
rather than any hitting heroics
by the Mats. who had one oppor-
tunity to reap a harvest of runs
and bumped into a drought.
The Mats defeat virtually was
accomplished from Pole to Pole.
Their hitting was tnrottled effec-
lively by the Polish Guzava and
when Chicago needed runs there
was Polish Casimer KWientnieWski.

them. Michaels pumped across
four of Chicago's runs.
Tainted Double Hurts.
Ray Scarborough, who was
handed his sixth defeat. was
Michaels' victim in the third in
ming. when the White Sox vaulted
into a 20 lead. With two out
Luke Appling walked and George
Metkovich singled to left. At that
juncture Michaels rammed shot
down the left field line which Ed
Stewart caught up with after Q
long run. The ball plopped from
! nis glove for tainted double, scor-
ing Appling and Metkovich.
That situation existed until the
seventh. when the Mats jammed
the bases with none out through
the medium of Al Kozar's single.
Third Baseman Floyd Bakers

There was the Mats chance to

threw to first for a double play as
/ Kozar scored. Dente took third
but was stranded when Eddie Yost

Hittle Victim of Rally.
Chicago's advantage mounted to
it's final proportions in the sew
enth when the White SoX clipped
Lloyd Hittle for three runs and
again it was Michaels who de-
livered the big blow.
Herb Adams beat out bunt
and after Dave Philley sacrificed.
Hittle walked Appling and Met
