HITS LACKING IN PINCHES
Failure of Morgan to Cover Second
Proves Costly in Second
Inning.
HITS LACKING IN PINCHEs
BY J. ED GRILLo.

The absence of timely hit once
more caused the undoing of the
Nationals in the final game of the
series with Cleveland in which the To-
Gals were beaten to /. Vean Gregg
the tall lefthander of the Maps, was
lucky to get away as he did. Morgan's
failure to cover second base in the
second inning was responsible for the
run which eventually proved the win
ner. The Nationals had many opportu-
nitities to score. After the first there
was not a single inning in which they
did not have men on the bases, but the
hit which would have brought home
the tying run did not materialize
EDehling pitched six innings, during
which time the Maps made their two
runs. Boehling was in good form
nevertheless. Shaw and Bently went
the rest of the route and were not hit
safely or scored on. But the one run
margin which the Maps obtained in the
fifth inning proved sufficient to win the
game.
In the second inning the first run was
scored. Johnston drew a pass to begin
with the Olson hit sharp grounder to
Foster 1t was certain double play
but Morgan failed to cover second 50
Foster only got Olson at first John
ston going to second Carisch flied out,
but Gregg came along with a hit
which sent Johnston home.
The Nationals tied 1t up in the fourtb
on scratch single by Gandil, Shanks'
sacrifice and Morgans hit. In the fifth
the Maps scored the run which won for
them. Carisch started the inning with
triple. Gregg flied out to right but
Graney was walked and Laioie came
through with the hit which sent Car
isch home.
1t seemed the Nationals would win
out in the seventh when Schaefer and
Moeller, the first two men up. hit
safely. Schaefer going to third on
Moeller's hit. Moeller also stole second

Shanks hit into a double play retiring

chance the locals had to score. The
