series.
In this rescue role James Aloysius

sides he contributed his yearly hit
that pushed through what proved to
be the winning tally for the Nationals.
Jimmy jumped into the battle to
save the day for Old Ad Brennan who
had been having his troubles in set

lucky to get over the route as far
as he did with this slugging outfit.
Allen Russell. one of Wee Miller
Huggins' best bets, could not stand
the gan, and after the sixth frame
Mogridge, with his left paw slants,
was in the center of the hill for the
New York club. The offerings of Rus

wanted, as they rung base hit after

the Griffmen the quartet Of tallies-
Mogridge had something of hoo-doo
on the locals during the last two in
nings in which he worked, as the Ma
tionals failed to crash one out of the
inner-works on his offerings.
This is the fire that Ad was un

opened the battle with a double to
left field. Peckinpaugh pushed him
along with a neat sacrifice but Ba-
ker and Pratt's offers were easily
gathered in by "Fatama" Foster.
Pipp crashed into the first one
served up by Brennan in the second
frame which resulted in a clean
bingle but a great stop by Fatama
resulted in a two ply killing.
After two had hOisted out in the
third frame Miller obtained his sec
ond crash but Peckinpaugh died
along with the Yanks when Morgan
dug deep into right field and pulled
down his Texas Lacquer. The first
counter off Brennan's slants came
in the fourth session when Baker
doubled to center field and Shanks
fell down on making the relay, Civ
ing Babe an extra sack. Pratt and
Pipp failed to come through but
Ping Bodie crashed one on the nose
and the former home-run king
romped across the dish.
This same story was repeated in
the fifth frame when Hannah open

a peg on RusselPs sacrifice. Miller
flew out. but Peckinpaugh was there
with the waIlop that gave the Yam
KEGS an even break and hung the
sign of shower calls on this South

under the big tent.

reins and got away in grand style

the last of the scoring by the Yam

of the fray with pinch sluggers.
The Nationals started early as after
two hands were down Judge tripled

Milan then hammered one at Del
Pratt which the latter could not
handle and Joe romped across with
the first tally. Blows by Morgan and

The sixth inning was the real one
from a local standpoint as Lavan
opened the chapter with a blow to

landed his second blow of the game,
which was a two-base knock into left
field, and Lieutenant Johnny easily
romped over the pan. After Val Pin
