Guardians Victorious at Washington, 12-2
Cleveland right-hander Kirby Higbe pitched his team to victory over the Washington Senators at Griffith Stadium. The final score was 12-2. The victory makes Cleveland 9-10.

Though there was little doubt about Cleveland's eventual triumph, catcher Clyde Kluttz made a particularly significant contribution in the top of the fourth inning when he hit a run-scoring single off Early Wynn. Kluttz was 3 for 5 with a double and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3.

"We did a lot of things right," said Kluttz.
