moving down everybody in
sight, that the lefthander would
make a heartening comeback
with the addition of eyeglasses.
So far it isn't working out that
way. He's lost four Of five deci-
sions.
Hyde's Value Sinks
Romonosky walked seven in
IA four-inning chore after
Stobbs departed, while Hyde
came along to be whacked for
three runs in the eighth inning
Hyde bears no resemblance to
the effective relief pitcher OF
last season. when he compiled a
1913 record and a dazzling LIS
earned-run average. He has
been thumped consistently this
season. This one-time attractive
trading material wouldn't bring
much now.
Grifith. who had planned a
scouting tour in an attempt to
obtain a lefthanded hitting out
fielder and a pitcher. has de-
cided to permit his underlings
to search for talent. Lavagettc
prefers that the accent be
placed on pitchers.
you have to remember that
pitching is IS per cent or SO OF
baseball Cookie said, land
Wen go as far as our pitching
will takes US. We could have
won four more games this sea-
son If Hyde had been as sharp
as he was last year. He could
have picked up four wins, but
he hasn't been able to hold
down those hitters."
BertOia Hits No. s
Hyde's performance last
night had nothing to do with
the loss other than to boost
the margin of Chicago's VIC
tory. With the exception of
Reno Bertoia's two-run homer
into the leftfield seats in the
sixth inning, the Senators
didn't disturb Wynn.
That blast was Bertoia's
sixth homer, tying his major
league high with the Tigers
last season. 1t sliced the Sem
ators' deficit to So, but AL
Smith spanked a solo homer
into the centertield seats in
the seventh, and Wynn braced
to permit only a pop-t1y double
by Alhie Pearson in the last
three innings.
Stobbs was mauled for three
runs in the first inning when
Luis Aparicio singled, Nellie
Fox doubled and took third on
the throw to the plate, Jim
Lands contributed a sacrifice
fly. Del Ennis doubled and Earl
Torgeson singled.
Sherm Lollar's homer with
none aboard in the third
boosted Chicago's lead to 40.
and the Sox added a run of
Romonosky in the sixth when
Aparicio walked. stole second,
took third on a wild pitch and
scored after Lands flied to Bob
Allison in center.
The White Sox hammered
Hyde for three runs in the
eighth after Lands was nicked
by a pitch. Lollar and John
Callison doubled, and Earl
Torgeson later singled. Torgy
got three Of Chicago's IL hits,
with Lollar and Fox chipping
in with two each.
NOTES; The Indians and
Senators aren't on the friend
lest Of terms. The only
time they met before this sea-
son, in a double header at
Cleveland, they wound up in
a brawl touched of when Jim
Piersal accused Pedro Ramos
of firing at him.
Romonosky is discovering
that runners are stealing on
him almost at will. There
have been four stolen bases
the last f1ye innings he has
pitched. ~. Ed FITZGERALD gave
the fans something to ponder
when he swung at a 3-and-0
pitch in the fourth with two
aboard and two out and popped
up.
Aparicio stole. four bases in
the three game series. :. Third
Baseman Bubba Phillips diyed
to his left for Fitz' grounder
in the second inning. regained
his feet and whipped Ed out.
I. Ron Sanford went back Of
second base for Wynn's ground
er in the sixth, whirled and got
his man on a pretty play.
Publicist Herb Heft dug ur
the fact that the Senators led
the league in homers in 1907
with AZ. two more than they've
hit this year. -. Wynn notched
his sixth win of the year against
two defeats. 1t was his 255rh
victory. With six more wins
he'll move past Ted Lyons and
rank No. 20 among the all-time
winners.
