A single by Hank Severoid, the
Browns big catcher, with second
and third occupied, and two out
in the ninth, gave the Browns
victory over the Nationals, as the
blow counted two runs at time
when the score was tied.
This defeat, like many others
preceding it this season, Will be
charged to Joe Boehllng, young
man who several years ago gave
promise of being a fair pitcher.
Boehling broke into the game
Yesterday in the eighth inning.
He got out of this round without
being scored on. but the effort
seemed to take everything out OF
him, and in the ninth he was hit
safely four consecutive times, the
two runs resulting giving the
Browns the margin by which they
won.
The Griffmen had an uphill
fight on their hands right from
the outset. Bert Gallia did not
get away we'll and two runs were
the result of some clean hitting
bv the Browns. Gallia stead:ed
down thereafter and, aside from
allowing another run in the
fourth, held the visitors in check.
Hamilton had a poor inning in the
fourth, when the Griffnlcn scored
couple OF runs. and the score was tied
in the seventh, in which inning Crit
fifth used a pinch hitter for Gallia. 1t
was this that brought the so-called
Richmond thunderbolt into the game.
He got through the eighth without he
ing scored on. hut his efforts in the
ninth indicated that he is not in con-
dition to go more than an inning or
SO.
