The Indians, the West's| lone outfit In the first division of | the American League tussle, will| arrive with a reputation for being | able to fight back valiantly as an| aggregation calculated to make trouble for all comers. | Before th> season opened the Indians | were highly rated by many base ball | experts daring to predict the order of | finish in the circuit. The Cleveland club had not flelded so well in training down South, but it had flashed much | good pitching and plenty of batting It was the power in attack | nything else that made the | s so impressive, | v started out as though the “wise” | ones were right. The Indians were away to a fast but suddenly | something went awry with the Cleve- land machine. The Tribe began losing, | and did not stop losing until a dozen | games in a row had gone to its oppo- | nents. But onc: that losing streak was broken the Indians got their heads up quickly and were on the warpath once more They reeled off a string of 10 successive wins and have broken even with the opposition in their last four engage- | ments. In the current series in New York they have defeated the Yankees twice in three starts and are right at their heels. ‘ ERHAPS a tightening of defense | had most to do with Cleveland | shaking off its slump and resum- ing ning ways.

The Nationals apparently have much on the clubs of the inland sector of the | league. The third win over the Chicago club | gcored yesterday was the easiest the | Johnson charges have had to chalk up in their home stand against the West- | ern clubs. Their pert of the 18 to 4| score was the best they have registered | this season and they clinched the game | with another record count for them in the 1931 campaigning. | When the tallied eight | times in the second inning, they en- | joyed their plumpest scoring bee since | the curtain went up on the league this | season. They had been through several | six-run_rounds and at_Philadelphia on | April 24 they actually scored seven | runs in the seventh inning only to be | beaten out by the A's. OLLING up their big count the Na- tlonals pummeled four White Sox hurlers, all right-handers. Al Thomas started, but gave way in the second session to Vic Frasier, who in | turn was relieved in the fourth frame | by Jim Moore. This third hurler was | derricked in the sixth so Red Faber got a chance to finish. Thomas took the beating as the Na- | tionals collected 20 hits off the quartet | of moundsmen. The Johnson band began modestly, getting only one run In the first inning. In the second,| how . it shelled Thomas from the hill with a four-hit blast and after | Frasier had walked a pair he took a | hard pounding. Then the the nex fonals had three fat| they all but walloped | ier, Moore and Faber. were wild, too, and seven times during the fray the Na- tionals had the bases crowded. | Everybody in the Washington line-up | hit safely and scored except Bill Har- grave, who went in to catch after Roy Spencer had been hit on the hand while | ot bat in the fourth inning. And every Lody in the line-up except Spencer par- | ticipated in the driving over of rums. With four singles, two made in the sec- | ond inning, and a walk, Bluege had a | perfect day. Cronin rz total of consecutive games i hit safely by collecting two doubles. HEN the Nationals were not getting runs Bob Burke kept the White | Sox well in check. They nicked | him for eight hits and three p four of the hits and one of the passes being bunched in the third and fourth rounds to net the v three markers. | The feurt lly was_the re- sult of a homer driven into the open stand back of left center by Johnny Kerr at the outset of the ninth Inning. It was a good day for Burke on the hill and he probably will regard it an even better one for him at bat. Bobby helped himsclf to three singles in five | trips to the plate, which just about made | him the batting king of the Washington pitchers.
