being put within striking distance BY
Ayers, Engel. and Harper were sem
70 the slab and OF this trio the Chance
crowd obtained eight hits. Carroll Brown
went the entire distance for New York
and, although hit harder than the local
hurting brigade, managed to put on the
soft pedal when noise like danger
sounded

annihiIation in the final half Of the ninth,
when Washington assembled four clean
swats with a couple Of errors and a bat
ter hit sending over three runs, leaving
enough talent on the sacks to jump the
game into extra innings with the aid
of a timely swat. This swat never came.

some afternoon. The Nationals came
across with three Of these killers, which
helped materially to keep the visiting run

surround himself with a lot of trouble.

on a roller to Boone, and when Foster
unloaded a safety to center Capt Mac
romped over.
Three innings was enough for Ayres.
Engel was on the slab when the visitors
came to bat in the fourth, and he worked
four innings.
Through EngePs own error when he
dropped a thrown ball from Gandn in
the fifth, after two had gone, the
Chance gang added a run, as Maisel,
who got a life by the pitchers miscue,
swiped second and scored on HartzelTs
triple TO deep right field.
A pinch hitter, sent 10 bat for Engel
in the Nationals hsTf Of the seventh,

visitors came up in the eighth. South

allowed to get away with a whole skin.

Thrilling Finish.
The fans who stayed 10 the finish were
rewarded with a fine young batting rally
D. the last half of the ninth, when Griff's
youngsters threw a bright red scare into
the New York camp.
Morgan, Williams and Mcbride sin
gled in turn filling the bases. Howard
Shanks, hitting for Harper, drove the
ball over NaiseTs head, scoring Morgan
and moving up the runners a peg. At
this stage Griffith substituted Ainsmith
as a runner for williams. Moeller
grounded to Peckinpaugh, who tossed TO
Boone ahead of Shanks at second base.
In attempting to complete a double play.
Boone heaved to the stands, Ainsmith
and Mcbride scoring. Foster flied TO
Sweeney, but Milan was safe on Boone'e
tumble, ami when Gandn was hit in the
hack the bases were loaded. Mike
Mitchell was at bat and the fans begged
him to hit 'er out" for a safe drive at
this stage would have tied the score.
The best Mitchell could do was to roll
n Rrounder which Brown gathered up,
tossing to Mullin and ending the game.
