Browns Banked Again;
GaIIia i'm Rare Form
Grifmen Score Two Runs Off
Southpaw Weilman in First
Chapter, Settling Verdict.
FOSTERS TRIPLE TIMELY
BY WILLIAM PEET.

Two runs IN the first inning settled
Pitcher Carl Weilman's hash, the Ma
tionals winning the third clash of the
series from the Browns by this score
yesterday afternoon.
Bert Gallia pitched his first full game
of the season, and despite the array OF
left-handed swatting talent against him.
uncorked a barrel of stuff and yielded
only five hits
After the first inning Wellman held the
Griffmen at arms length, but the damage
had already been inflicted.
1t was Eddie Fosters triple in the
opening chapter which placed the game
in cold storage. The triple really started
out to be a single, but blossomed into a
three-ply wallop when Bert ShOtton play
ed the ball badly and let it get away
from him.
GaIIia appears to have entirely rccovs
cred from his recent sick spell. He mixed
up curves with a puzzling spitball, and
for five innings the Browns did not regis
ter safe hit Once or twice Gallia
found himself in tight place. but was
always able to emerge on top with colors
flying.
Field Brilliantly Behind GRIIIa.
The Griffmen backed Up Gallia with
brilliant support while the only error
which could be charged the Browns was
a line drive from Gallia's bat which
Shortstop johnson muffed.
Any time Weilman has previously faced
the Nationals it has invariably been Get
to this bird early or nothing doing" so
that's Just what the home lads did yes
terday. They got Weilman in the OPEN
ing chapter for a couple of runs, while
Gallia was able to hold the enemy at bay.
The Browns have not scored a run off
Griff's pitchers in eighteen innings, and
with Walter johnson slated to work this
afternoon there is every reason to believe
that the Old Fox will make good his
threat, viz: Winning three out Of the
four games scheduled for the series
The story of the first inning is the story
of the ball game so far as the Nationals
are concerned.
Two Runs, and-the Game.
Ray Morgan opened the chapter by
drawing the only base on balls Carl Well
man issued during the encounter. Foster
thumped safely to left. Shotton raced
in after the ball. set himself for it, but
it took bad hop. bounced over Shotton's
shoulder and before it could be re-
turned, Morgan was over the plate and
Foster busting himself off at third base.
Weilman tossed out Milan. Rondeau gave
Miller a long fly and knowing that Miller
does not possess the best throwing arm
in the world. Foster took a chance, SCOT
ing from third base on the catch. The
side was out when Marsans made a great
catch of Judges long drive.
During the second fourth and sixth
innings the Nationals managed to get
the first batter on the base paths, but
Weilman was too much for the men who
came up later, and that two-run lead
looked as big as a mountain the way
Gallia was buzzing 'em across the plate.
GaIIia Is Effective.
Not a Brownie reached first base un-
til ShOttOn walked to open the fourth
inning Shotton stole second. but got
no nearer home, as the next three bat
ters died in turn.
The only time Gallia was really threat
ened was after two had gone in the
eighth inning and Johnson shot a single
to right field. Miller, the next man up,
smashed a hot grounder to right, which
probably would have escaped Ray Nor
Gan's Outstretched hands had 1t not hit
johnson in the leg. Johnson was declared
out, retiring the side.
ROndeau and Shanks led the Nationals
with the stick, both coming acros with
a pair of singles. Miller was the only
Brownie able to solve Gallia's delivery
for more than one hit. Score:
