over one tally which proved enough
to defeat the Nationals at the Stadi-

George Dauss. OF side arm. slow
ball fame. hooked up with the
Pittsburgh stogie in the second duel.
The Nationals outplayed the Tigers
throughout the contest. but the
breaks were not forthcoming when

The two base on balls issued by
Shaw In the second frame were the
only ones he granted. while three
hits was the allotment handed the
Tigers. as even the great Ty Cobb
proved easy picking before the
steam of Shaw. The Nationals went
to Dauss for seven blows and had
men left Oh pase in each inning but
the sixth and ninth. The timely
whaliop was lacking. giving the Ma
tionals their fifth defeat OF the
week.

dom figured Jim Shaw TO start upon
one of his ry-go-around acts OF
issuing free transports tion. Dres-
sen and Young both drew passes,
filling the sacks.
Stanage then hoisted a nigh nv
which Shanks gathered in after a
great race. about ten yards behind
second base. II was loose fielding by
the Nationals on this ball that proved
Shaw's downfall as either Morgan.
l.avan or Milan could have handled
the play much more easily than the
Monocco speed merchant.
After Shanks had gathered in the
ball he was forced to keep running
so as not to loose his footing and
while oyerbalanced he pegged to the
plate in an attempt to cut OF He'll
man. The throw was a bad one as II
came in on two hops, Ainsmith gath
cred 1t in E~tween his in such an
awkward position that he did not
have a chance to tag the big out
fielder. A double play was completed
when Eddie pegged to third and Fos-
ter nipped Dresser sliding in. This
lone tally proved too big a handicap
for the Nationals.
Jimmy Shaw frightened I'D after this
session and gave a remarkable per-
formance as only twenty-one batters
faced him, in the one two three order
during the remaining seven innings.
The Nationals blew many chances to
count Howard Shanks gummed the
parade in the first chapter when Judge
and Foster hit safely after Shotton
had retired. Milan advanced the rum

Howard could not fathom Dauss's
slow ball.

Bert ShottoH in the third frame got

hase on balls, stolen base, and
Judges sacrifice. The Tigers in
tcid came in close and killed off
Eert at the plate, when Foster
grounded to DOME Bush. Morgan

Nas left high and dry at the second
sack as Lavan and Ainsmith were
not there with the crash. 1t was
the same story in the fifth as Shot
ton hit to right after Shaw had
struck out. but he failed to ad-
vance as Judge and Foster could
not deliver.
Things looked pretty rosy for the
Nationals in the lucky seventh,
when Lavan opened with a single
to center and moved along on Aim
smiths bunt. There was no run
getting as Shaw fouled out and Shot
toms best offer was a short Jour-
ney to Cobb. The final rally of the
Nationals in the eighth fiivvered as
they had in the past innings. Foster
obtained life after Judge had
grounded out on Donnie Bush's err
ror. which was the only one dur
ing this pitching duel. Milan beat
out an infeld hit to Bush and it
was up to Howard for the second
time, but the peppery outfielder, in
mis- overanxiety, only fouIed out to
Standge. and Morgan was easy by
the pop route to Witt. The score:
