Griffs Twist Tiger’s Tail Again : Liner to Head Kayoes Diz Dean HUMIDITY NEARLY | - KAYOES DE SHONG 10-7 Victory Puts Harris Gang Half Game Behind Runner-Up Clubs. BY FRANCIS E. STAN. OING it the hard way—kick- ing away a lead and then pulling the game out of the fire—the Nationals whipped the Tigers again yesterday at Grif- fith Stadium, 10 to 7, and regained a position on the threshhold of second place in the American League standing. Running well in front with a 7-to-3 lead after seven innings, the Griffs wilted, fell into a tie, and recovered to stage a three-run rally in the eighth, capturing the Detroit series and pulling up to within half a game of the deadlocked Bengals and Red Sox. Yesterday's victory, witnessed by 7,500 sweltering spectators, was Wash- ington’s fifth in the last six games with Detroit. Jimmy De Shong, youthful right- handed ace of the Griffith A. C. curv- ing corps, was the most susceptible of the Nationals to the sun. Jimmy was breezing to his twelfth triumph of the campaign when the twin evils of the humidity and a belated Bengal batting attack struck him in the eighth inning. He was lead off the field with the score at 7-5 and two runners on base. Appleton’s Hit Decides It. PETE APPLETON, summoned to the rescue, probably was the only per- son in the country who was not warmed up, Anyway, he wild-pitched & run across and then was nicked for the tying run before getting the side out on a double play. Eventually he redeemed himself, batted across what proved to be the winning run, and | held the Tigers safe to be credited with his seventh victory of the year. | To pile up their 7-to-3 lead the | Griffs had to come from behind. In the first inning Goose Goslin got the ‘Tigers off winging when he stuck his long bill into De Shong’s busn_lm and popped a home run over the right field fence with Bill Rogell on base. Thus, when Schoolboy Rowe took up his pitching chore, he had & 2-to-0 Jead. The Griffs, however, were not par-| ticularly discouraged by this start. In fact, they greeted Rowe more warmly | than the Detroit’s greeted De Shong. and when the first inning was endcd} the score was tied at 2-2. Ben Chap- man led off with a lusty three-bagger | past Al Simmons in center field and | trotted home when Buddy Lewis flied to Goslin. Joe Kuhel revived the rally by doubling to right, and Johnn_v‘ Stone provided another touch by Mates Carry Dizzy Dean From Field on Stretcher Great Card pitcher, unconscious at the time from blow from bat of Burgess Whitehead of the Giants in game in St. Louis, revived in the club house before being taken to a hospital, and apparently is not critically injured. His brother Paul (third from left) was one of the stretcher bearers. —Copyright, A. P.

He muffed one of the Schoolboy’s pitches to Buddy Lewis and Kress scored on the passed ball, while Chap- man took second. A moment later Ben raced over the plate on a single by Lewis.

LOUIS, July 11—A brain | concussion from a batted ball | stopped Dizzy Dean from scor- ing his fifteenth victory today, but the injury only served to arouse | the Cardinals into clubbing the New | York Giants 9 to 3. A line drive from Burgess White- head's bat in the sixth inning hit Dean on the right side of the head and sent him to a hospital. That | started a Glant rally, good for two runs to tie up the game. Up to that point the Cards had been finding Clyde Castieman tough to score on, but when they saw “Old Diz” carried from the field they went to town against Castleman and belted | him from the mound with a six-run spree in their half of the sixth inning to sew up the game, Is Boosts Lead to 1'; Games.

LOUIS, July 11.—Jerome Her- man (Dizzy) Dean, star pitcher of the St. Louis Cardinals, was knocked out in the sixth inning today, but not because of poor hurling. A vicious line drive from the bat of Burgess Whitehead, second baseman for the New York Giants, struck the loquacious hurler on the head and knocked him unconscious. Dr. Robert Hyland, club physician, diagnosed it as a severe concussion. An X-ray examination at & hospital | disclosed no skull fracture. Hyland said Dean had no headache.

EW YORK, July 11.—For the second time in three days the Cleveland Indians held the | Yankees helpless today, while they batted New York pitching all over the lot, collecting 19 hits and a 10-to-2 victory. Mel Harder, turning in his twelfth victory against six setbacks, gave the | Yanks only five hits, one of which was Bill Dickey's seventeenth homer of the season, while two others, both | singles, accounted for the New York- ers’ other run in the fifth.
