By WILLIAM PEET.

When II became nolsed around at the
BAH park yesterday AFTERNOON that Doc
Reisling would be called upon to try TO
stop the Cleveland Maps in the=zsfinai
game of the series many OF the wise
acres shock their heads and muttered
He can't come back Jeffries-J johnson
fight memories are still fresh.
Reisling did come back after a two
days rest, He was hit freely enough,
but managed to smear the bingies well
over the nine chapters. while the home
team ripped savagely into Links south
side twisters in the second and eighth
innings, when all the runs We're col
lected. FiAal count: Nationals. 8; Maps.
!, making 1t three victories out of the
four games played
There were no sensational one-hand
catches. and only one possible play where
Reislings steady twirling. his brilliant
display of hitting. together with the
timely batting Of Unglaub and Killifer.
were the noteworthy features.
Mcclure Chased 10 Hotel.
The visitors had few chances TO fnnict
damage Deacon Jim MCGUIRE kicked
himself out OF the park IN the very first
inning for taking exception to a decision
of Umpire Perrine. The Maps had
chances to send in runs in the first. sec
ond, and eighth innings. but Reisling was
always able 10 tighten up at the right
time.
Cleveland's only tally was registered in
the fourth, when the mighty LajoIe, first
up, drew base on balls. Easterly's
smash through Killifer sent Larry TO
third and Birminghams sacrifice fly
scored him.
The home folks were cut down In the
opener by-a neat double play but raked
Link fore and aft In the second. Gessler
led off by stopping a swift inshoot with
his back. McBride's sacrifice advanced
the NJ. D. to second. Knlifer's crack to
deep center for two-spot scored him.
Unglaub flied to Birmingham. but Beck
endorf walked. and Reisling made him
self solid with the crowd by polling two
Dagger out Of Niles reach. sending in
Killlfer and Beckendorf Milan was hit
by q pitched ball Leltvelt dropped one
six feet over Larry's head and before the
sphere could be recovered Reisling was
home with the fourth run. Milan at
tempted 70 make the plate on the smash.
but Niles throw had him by ten feet
Although the Nationals tossed a couple
of clean drives into the fourth inning.
Link refused TO allow any TALES, and as
the game progressed he seemed to grow
stronger. cutting down the home crew In
order during the fifth. sixth. and seventh
stanzas.
Four More in Eighth.
The eighth saw a grand fattening OF
local batting averages and lot OF sym
pathy for Twirler link. Lelivelt opened
the round by crashing TO right. The ball
was lost In the sun and sped past Niles.
Lelivelt reached second. Conroy and
Gessler both famed in turn, but right
here the fireworks started. Mcbride sent
a hard grounder to ~Turner. who had
to make a quick throw in order to nail
his man. Cotton" was too hasty. and
the ball gol away from Stovall. Some
of our leading scorers will probably
credit Turner with an error. but the
writer does not While all this was GO
ing on Lelivelt came home. Killifer
smashed TO left center, Mcbride taking
third. Unglaub singled through Larry,
scoring Mcbride Beckendorn singled 20
left and Unglaub counted. Then Doc
Reisling cracked out a two-bagger. send
ing in Unglaub with the fourth tally
Reisling had his spitball working right
for the first time this season. He had
fine control and the visiting heavy hit
tiers could not touch him consistently
While Link was hit hard. stin two Of
the local swats were Texas leaguers.
Lelivelt and Reisling both dropped the
ball a few feet over Larry's head when
men were on bases and all headed for
home on the hit-and-run gag. At that
the Maps would have won had they taken
advantage Of every possible opening or
slip-up
