Pitched Good Rail-.
EngeI deserved and should have had a
shut-out game. The only Washington
error of the combat was made by Milan
IN the third inning on an easy chance
the dropping Of a fly ball from the bat
Of +. Murphy. The Mackmen scored on
this miscue.
Such slusgers as Baker, Murphy, and
Barry went hitless. The Athletics tried
every subterfuge known to the national
Tastime in order TO get Engels goat,
but failed 20 rattle the yOungster. Once
ne filed the bases. by walking Barry,
SchanE, and Shawkey, and had two
strikes and three balls on Murphy, but
nary run came over as Murphy hit
Il curve to Milan for the third out.
Bob Shawkey. the pitcher Connie Mack
faTmed to Baltimore and recalled. made
his initial appearance against the Ma
tionals. glance at the Washington hit
column shows how effective was this
Shawkey person. Only four safe blows,
of which two went to the credit of John
Henry, as the Climbers Portion.
On several occasions Engel was pulled
TWO out Oldring on third, and Collins
ON second, in the third inning, Chick
Gandn made a wild leap into the air
after Bakers line smash, spearing the
ball with his gloved hand. The rangy
first-sacker must have jumped four feet.
Mcbride Stars Agnin.
Again. in the ninth. George Mcbride
came galluping in after a slow roller
dumped by Z. Murphy, and. picking up
the ball Une-handed, he retired his man
by an eyelash margin only.
Griff said something Umpire Bill Evans
did not relish and was chased TO the
clubhouse early in tine game. The Ath-
Ietics drew first blood. sending over their
only run of the combat in the third
inning. as follows: Engel walked Schang
tor a starter. Shawkey struck out.
f. Murphy gave Milan a short fly,
which Clyde muffed. but, recovering the
ball in a jiffy, he slammed TO Morgan
ahead OF Schang. To the surprise Of
everybody. Evans called SChang safe.
after which followed long wrangle,
which resulted in the banishment of
Clark Griffith. Oldring hft to Foster,
who threw out Murphy. but Schang
reached third base and scored on Col
Inns single through Mcbride. 1t was at
this stage that Gandil made his sensa-
tionaI catch of Bakers line drive.
Henry Gets Single.
Shawkey did not allow the Climbers
safe hit until Henry connected for a
single in the fifth, but the blow was
wasted, as the next two batters died in
turn.
The Climbers won the game in the sew
enth. Foster led off by drawing a pass
and reached second when Barry threw
out GandiL. Morgan shot clean single
W
slammed wide to the plate the ball
eluded Schang. and before it could be
recovered Morgan was safely perched on
r third base, from whence he scored on
John Henry's savage clout to left center.
Henry swiPed second. but was left
stranded.
With two down in the Athletics fourth
inning, Joe Engel uncorked a sudden
wild spell. He passed three men in a
row. and to chap up tree it looked
as if only miracle could save him, es-
pecially after he had delivered Murphy,
the next man up. three wide balls The
miracle happened, for Joe suddenly
frightened up, shot over a couple Of
strikes. and forced Murphy to hit an
easy fly to Milan for the final out
EnEcI Comes Through.
With Collins or second base and two
gone in the Athletics seventh Frank
Baker had a chance to wreck the game,
but Engel made the great sIugger fish
after bad ball and Morgan camped un-
der a pop fly.
The Athletics tried desperately to
start something in the ninth, but could
not deliver the knockout punch. Oldring
singled with two down. and Collins easy
fly dropped in Gandirs nit, ending the |
game.
The Score.
