Two more cripples were added to the
Nationals list yesterday. In the tenth
inning a foul tip from Derril Pratts bat
caught Eddie Ainsmith on the end OF
the little finger OF his right hand. and
Ainsmith had to retire in favor Of Char
rity.
Joe Judge also complained Of a pain
in his groin during the second game and
gave way to Williams. Judge is afraid
he has opened up the old wound, but
Grin stated last night that he did not
think the injury would be a serious one.
Ainsmith's finger will be X-rayed TO
see IL any bones are broken and there
is no telling how long he will be out of
the game.
Howard Shanks is humping the ball
with vengeance these days. He grab
bed two out of five in the first game and
two out OF four in the second. Shanks
also played a great game in the field,
turning back a Brownie runner at the
plate, and in addition coming across with
several difficult running catches.
Elmer Smith went hitIess during both
games, but little Joe Leonard managed
TO keep in the swat column, besides driN-
ing over a run. Leonard also put up
peppery game at third base and is rapid
ly becoming a warm favOrite with the
fans.

The Second Game.

AS a fine young thundershower set
tied in during the closing chapters of
the first game it was almost o'clock
when the second game started, with
Johnson and our ancient enemy Eddie
Plank, the rival hurlers.
Johnson was touched up in a lively
manner throughout, and in every inning
but one, was the big fellow in trouble.
Plank fused around like an old hen
scratching up the dirt and consuming all
the time necessary, and then some.
As usual Plank had our young men
guessing, and for four innings not the
sign of a run bobbed up. although in the
third inning, the Griffmen filled the
bases with only one down, because the
hit in a pinch was lacking.
Three Brownie singles. linked with
a couple of stolen bases in the third in
ming. gave st. Louis two runs, and it
looked as if the game was in, as the
overcast sky made it apparent that dark
ness would soon halt festivities
The Griffmen cut the Browns lead
down one notch in the fifth johnson
singled with one down. pulled up on sec
Ond when Pratt fumbled Leonard's slow
roller. Foster walked, filing the bases,

but Shotton dropped the ball and before

second base. Johnson singled to left,
Henry pulling up on third. Leonard S
vicious blow to center scored Henry,

In the Browns half of the seventh the
score might have been tied had Borton
hit safely with Shotton on third, but
Borton's grOUnder to Mcbride turned
back Shotton at the plate. and in the
Nationals half OF the seventh the vet
eran Plank was hit hard
Milan started with a single Smith
famed. Shanks singled to center on the
hit and run signal scoring Milan after
Clyde had swiped second. Williams fol-
lowed with a safe blow and Mcbride s
grounder to Lavan resulted in a mix-up
at third base where two Washington
runners were tagged out. Umpire Chill
then called the game on account of dark

The First Game.

Jim Shaw started his first game on the
local grounds this season. when Grin
ordered him to pitch the opener. Shaw
Eot away badly, was wild for two in
nings and timely hits gave the Browns a
commanding lead before the big fellow
settled down.
Ernie koOb. who opened in the box for
the Browns, was very much of a puzzle
until the fourth. when Judge singled,
pulled up at third after Mcbride had
banged to center. as Marsans' peg was
wild. the ball escaping most of the st.
Louis infelders. Austin threw out
Henry. Judge scoring on the play.
The Nationals half of the fifth saw
the finish of Koob. Leonard started by
drawing a walk. Foster forced Leonard
at second. Milan singled and Smith foul
ed to SEVERED. Shanks' safe blow to
right scored Foster and Milan. and when
Judge poked the ball safely to left,
Shanks crossed the plate after a subse-
quent pilfer of second. Davenport then
came to kOob's rescue and the scoring
ceased.
This bombardment off Koob pulled the
Nationals up on even terms with the
Browns, and although rain started to fall
during the fifth inning the athletes were
kept on the jump until the bitter end,
which came in the Browns half of the
tenth, when Eddie Fosters wretched
throw to Judge let the winning run slide
across Pratt was on third. two down
when Austin grounded to Foster for an
easy out. FOrters wide throw pulled
Judge off the bag. Pratt scoring the
much needed tally on the error.
Davenport. although he pitched fine
ball, did not find the Nationals any soft
picking, and the score would have been
tied in the tenth If Joe Judge had not
lost his head and pulled off a crazy base
running stunt.
Judge walked to start the Nationals
half OF the tenth. Mcbride dropped a
Texas Lacquer into right and when Will
liams pinch hitting for Charity saCri-
fiCed, both runners advanced. At this
stage Griff sent up Jameson to bat for
Shaw and Jimmy sent Miller a whist
ling drive. Judge started for the plate at
the crack of the bat then when he saw
that Miller had made the catch raced
hack 10 third, touched the base and at
tempted to score. but was caught by five
feet, the ball being relayed in Miller to
EortOn to SEVERED. The game was over
right there. Score:
