Playing ball under the weather condi-
tions existing here is the most strenu-
Gus work Imaginable. Before an in
ming is finished the players of both
teams are handicapped by their per-
spiration soaked uniforms. and it is a
tired d-acting and tired-looking lot by
the time the game is over. The pitchers
have to be particularly careful to hus-
band their strength in games where
they do not get a chance to loaf, for
the route of nine innings is hard. and
it takes a perfect physical condition
to stand up under the strain. Johnson.
Saturday. and Boehling. Sunday. were
handicapped in their pitching by the
fact that they were forced to waste
their strength on the bases. Johnson
was virtually all in after hitting for
three bases Saturday, and Boehline
weakened after his sprint to second
base in the ninth.
Had Howard Shanks come through
with one of his customary safe drives
at one of the two periods yesterda y
there would be different story to tell.
He faced Weilman in the sixth. with
Milan on second, and again in the
eighth, when Gandil was on second
with two out. but could not get
hold of Weilmans delivery for an eff
fective blow.

BOEHLING PITCHES WELL
Holds Browns Safe Until Ninth
Inning-Walker Again Wal
lops the Ball.
BY j. ED GRILLo.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. June S.-Two three
base hits defeated the Nationals in a
game which, until the last man was up
in the ninth. seemed to be another vic
tory. It was a drive against the left
field fence by Clarence Walker erst-
while member of the Nationals,
tying the score in the ninth, and
Leary's triple in the tenth. which gave
the Browns the necessary runs to win
Up to that ninth inning Joe Boeh-
ling pitched an exceptionally good
game of ball. No runs had been scored
by his opponents and he had allowed
but two widely scattered hits. Be-
hind him his team played champion
ship ball. and. with a two-run lead the
last half of the ninth inning was be-
gun. Boehling had a strike on Shot
ten when the latter picked a high one
off his ear and sent a single to CEN
ter Boehling started to work Austin,
but hit him in the back. and there
were two on and none out. Pratt's
grounder ended his career at first, and
moved the two runners up, and, while
Foster was throwing out Miller at
first Shotten came home from third,
while Austin went to that bag. Boeh-
ling got strike on Walker, when the
latter timed one perfectly and sent it
on line against the left field fence
Austin scored the tying run. but
Walker was nailed by McBride's good
relay when he tried to stretch his hit
into home run.
Griffith decided to make a change In
his pitchers after the Nationals had
been retired in order in the tenth and
Ayers was sent to the slab. Leary
greeted him with long triple to right
center, but Wares sent a little fly to
Shanks. who held Leary on third. Then
Agnew worked the squeeze play bunt
ing right at Ayers, but the ball took
bounds enough to allow Leary to score
with ease. and the game was over.

Boehling Seems to Weaken.

Boehling probably weakened a trifle in
the ninth as a result of a hard run from
the plate to second base, which he took in
this inning, when. with Morgan on third,
he singled to left and went to second on
Walkers futile throw to the plate. 1t was
one of the hottest days Of the year, and
this exertion may have weakened Boehl-
ing to such an extent that he was not at
his best when he faced the Browns in
the ninth inning.
The Nationals hit Weilman much hard
er than the Browns did Grifrs pitchers,
yet they only had a two-run lead at the
time the blow-of came in the ninth.
Moeller's safe bunt. his steal and Milan S
double to right gave Washington its first
run in the sixth. and walk to Morgan.
McBride's sacrifice and Boehling's single
scored the second run in the ninth.

Engel beat the Browns three games last

form of late. Griffith figures him as the
logical man to put in the third game of
the series. If anything develops to cause
Griffith to change his mind Shaw will do
the pitching. though Griffith prefers to
hold him for the final day of the series,
so that he can use johnson in the first
game at Chicago Wednesday.

Clarence Walker has been doing most of
the effective hitting for the Browns, and
as result is decidedly popular here to-
day. His triple in the ninth came when
two were down. and was his only hit of the
day. 1t was a terrific crash. going on a
line to the left field fence, and caroming
off in such a manner that Shanks had all
he could do to reach the ball before
Walker got to third. Walker. of course,
never stopped at third. but was nailed at
the plate by McBrides perfect throw to
Henry.

Boehling helped himself out of difficul-
ties on two different occasions by catch
ing base runners off first base. In the
opening inning he walked Austin. and
then caught him mapping. and in the sixth
inning. with one out. he failed to get them
over for Shotten. and then proceeded to
catch him mapping. Boehling has ac-
quired a most deceptive motion toward
first base. Every opposing team has
fallen victim to it this spring and has
protested that he baked. but the umpires
have not yet ruled against him.
