50 b - Washinston -.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 22-JaCk C0Ombs
got away with some decidedly peculiar
pitching yesterday when the Athletics
won from Washington by 4 to o,
The big ex-c0llegian had considerable
difficulty in locating the plate, but despite
his wilduess. and although the visitors
got many men on the sacks. he prevented
a single member Of the combination from
getting as far as third base. Coombs
handed out four bases on balls and hit
three batsmen. but Washington's hits
were few and far between. and whenever
the danger signal was flying either Old
ring came to the rescue with a fine run
ming catch. or the inhelders worked up a
double play. Coombs put his team on
the road toward victory in the third in
ming, when he sent the ball over the left
field fence for home run. Some weird
playing by the Nationals helped the
Mackites to their next two runs, and
Monte Cross. who twice5 hammered the
ball 20 the r.ght-center field fence for two
bases. and Seyb0Id and Davis were re-
sp0nsibIe for the hnaI addition 70 the
run column. Powers and Warner caught

Patten opened the third inning with a
single. only 10 be doubled up when GanIey
sent a liner 10 Cross. Jones singled and
stole second. while Delehanty drew four
balls. Powers then got Anderson foul
while on the fun run near the grand
stand. Two men were out in the home
teams half, when Coombs landed on a
slow ball and sent il into Columbia ave
nue. for O home run.
Each was orderly in the fourth in
ming and not a man got the ball out of
the inheld. Macks men obtained runs in
the fifth inning. Collins led off with
single, Aluzer had a chance for a double
play on Oldrings grOuuder. but fumbIed
the ball. and both runners were safe

COOmbs hit Delehanty and Altlzer i'm
the sixth inning, the latter getting a
nasty crack on his right arm near the
elbow. Cross scored ia the home teams
half on his tw0-bagger, Sey0old's sacri-
fee, and Davis double, which went out
toward right center so fast that Perrine,
who apparently did not get his fingers on
the ban right. deliberately jumped out Of
the way Of the horsehide.
Coombs hit Patten in the seventh IN
ning. but the Nationals were bIanked
when Oldring pulled down Jones drive
while on the fuiI run in deep center field.
Dclehanty and Anderson got passes at
the opening of the eighth inning, but the
next three men gave easy chances. With
one out in the Athletics half. Cross hit
for two bases, only 20 be doubled uu
when Perrine made a great one-handed
jumping catch of Seybolds fly
