the Griffmen simply because they hit
the Tiger pitchers twice as hard as
their own We're batted. Long hits cut
a decided figure on both sides, the
Tigers getting all their runs as the
result Of a double, triple and a home
run drive by Crawford, while a couple
of three-base hits, punched in the
fourth, helped materially to give the
Nationals a cluster Of runs early in
the struggle.

Fosters long fly gave the Nationals

the third. when he lost control. He
started by walking Stanage, but Boeh
Ter forced his catcher at second. Bush
got a single and Shaw walked Mori-

ever. was short-lived, for in the fifth the
Tigers hoped on Ayers, who had taken
Shaw's place in that disastrous third. Doc
