Federals Hurler Reaches Milestone
History was made today at Capitol Park -- Tom Ewart won game #150 to seal his name in the league record books. The Washington ace downed the Pittsburgh Vulcans 12-9 to gain entrance into the elite 150 Club.

"I was wound up at first. I think I threw too hard," remarked Ewart, "I had to calm down and go out there and pitch... not just throw. I think I got better as the game wore on. I started to think less about 150 wins and more about doing what I had to do."

Since he joined the league, Ewart has collected 150 victories and 192 defeats with a 3.00 ERA.
