Carl Cashion was on third ba
Williams flied to Collins. Carl
could have breezed home on the
out had he been allowed to take the
chance, but the coacher chained
him to the bag.
As a thrilling exhibition of the national
pastime the thrills we're not lacking, for
the Climbers came from behind in the
last half of the ninth and pushed over
two runs, knotting the count, thanks to
Morgan and Cashion for clean singles and
to relief hurler Jim Scott for couple
of walks with the bases loaded
Griff sent Joe Boehling to the slab. and
the Richmond Thunderbolt demonstrated
that with four days rest he could come
back and pitch good ball. Boehling
worked nine innings. and but for
wretched support would not have allowed
a run.
Defeat Charged to Groom.
As a pinch hitter was ordered up in the
Climbers ninth, Bob Groom assumed
command in the tenth, and unfortunately
the defeat must be laid at Groom's door,
as the Sox scored the winning counters
off Sir Roberts delivery.
Butcher Boy" Benz, who has seldom
butted into a box score this season, was
the biggest kind of a puzzle to our side,
allowing but five scattered hits in eight
innings. The pace began to tell on him
during the ninth, and with thu bases
full and nobody out, Callahan yanked
Benz and substituted Death Valley" Jim
Scott. The last named hung around long
enough for Washington to tie the score,
when he. too, was chased to the showers.

with a brand of flinging that was gilt
edged.
Griff made a shift in his lineup. send
Ing Carl Cashion to right field, as Carl is
a hitter of renown, and the Old Fox

muster these days. The Carolina curver
caught one fly ball and unloaded safe
hit after three trials.

down, Mcbride threw past Gandil after
gathering up Berger's grounder. the last
named scooting to second before the ball
could be returned. Lord thumped a sin
gle to right, and Berger crossed the
plate.
During the first four innings Benz did
not allow the Nationals a safe hit. He
walked three men, one of whom stole,
but there was nothing doing in the run
line.
Ainsmith crashed to deep left in the
fifth. and was checked at third when he
could easily have scored n the sixth
Foster led off with a clean single, but
watched the next three batters die in
turn.
With one gone in the Climbers eighth,
Foster and Milan both singled, but Gan
dill grounded to Weaver, and a double
play killed off all hopes of a rally.
Boehling settled down after the 9th,
and allowed but two hits, both of the
scratch variety.

ones sail over the plate, Morgan was
forced home. Al Williams, pinch hit
ting for Boehling, flied to Collins, but
no attempt was made to have Cashion
score from third base as he could have
done, as Collins peg to the plate was
wide. Acosta was ordered to run for
Cashion, and was thrown out at the
plate on Moellers tap to Scott. Foster
was passed and Mcbride came home
via the force route with the tieing run.

was given a base on balls and when
Russell sacrificed both were advanced.
Chappell grounded to Gandil. who. in
attempting to tag the $4,000 beauty, came
to grief, as the ball was knocked out Of
his hands, and Schalk crossed the plate
on the error. Berger singled to right
scoring Weaver with a run which was
not needed.
The Nationals made faint bid for
the game in the other half of the tenth.

double to right field. Morgan flied
to Fourier, and Laporte gave this same
gent a liner which was turned into a
double play, Gandil being nipped before
he could return to second base, ending
the ball game.
