GRIFFMEN TO THEIR RUNS
Ainsmith's Speed Responsible for
Tally Which Decides the Day
in Locals Favor.
BY j. ED GRuLo.

In by far the most interesting game Of
the series the Nationals yesterday made
St two out Of three from the Yankees,
winning by a score Of to ,.
Brilliant pitching by Bert Gallia made
the victory possible. Gallia was steady
10 such an extent that he did not walk
q single man He was hit safely five
times during the nine innings, but in no
Timing were two of these hits permitted
lie was scored on twice This happened
in the second round. but his pitching was
not entirely to blame for the runs, for
he was hit safely once in this inning. but
aided in the scoring by making an error.
After that, however. Gallia was invincible
so far as scoring was concerned. He was
fn one or two tight places, but the fact
that he had perfect control helped him
to extricate himself without any damage
being done.
Opposed to Gallia was Carroll Brown.
The former Athletics wild man. Brown
was wild again yesterday, giving nine
passes. yet he was fortunate enough to
get away with but three runs being scored
against him, which, considering. was
tery good showing.
Pipp started the second inning with a
single Cook hunted to Gallia. whose
throw to catch Pipp at second was bit
loo late. Peckinpaugh sacrificed. adj
rancing both runners. and, after Boone
had popped up to Mcbride, Sweeney got
J swinging bunt down the first base line,
which Gallia fumbied, and Pipp scored,
Boone going to third. He and Sweeney
then successfully pulled the double steal,
Boone getting to the plate before Ainsmith
could get the ball on him.
Scored in Second Only.
Then the scoring ceased so far as
-;ctt
for three bases in the third after two
were out. but was left. Brown doubled
with one out in the fifth but the next
two batters could not get him around.
Mcbride gave Cree life in the sixth
when he allowed his difficult grounder
to get through him. Pipp, however.
forced him by hitting to Williams and
then Pipp stole, but Gallia caused Cook
TO fly to Milan and then famed Peck
inpaugh.
Boone started the seventh with hit,
was sacrificed to second by Sweeney,
but never got any farther.
Cree got the Yankees final hit in the
eighth with one down, but Pipp forced
him and then died trying to steal
second.
The Nationals runs were made one at
Z time. In the opening inning Moeller
walked and Foster. his famous hit
snd-run colleague, sent him to third
with Well placed single through short
Geld, which Peckinpaugh had left open
to cover the bag. Milan, in trying to
sacrifice, forced Moeller at third. Will
iams in turn forced Milan and then
Brown walked Morgan and Shanks,
forcing Foster home.
After the Yankees had taken the
lead in the second the Nationals tied
the score.
Mcbride and Gallia were disposed of
rather easily, but Moe1ler singled So
Gid Foster. and the ball. after passing
second. struck Boone on the knee and
bounded far out into left center, Noel
Ter scoring and Foster winding up at
third. where he was left while Milan
lied to right.
What proved to be the winning run
.ame in the sixth and Ainsmith was
largely responsible for 1t. He started

had caught Gailia's long fly to center
