Sidelights on the Battle

Miller greeted Brennan in the first
frame with double to left and Peck
sacrificed him to third, but neither
Baker nor Pratt could deliver.
Lavan made a clever play on Han
Hah's smash in the seventh. The
ball got by Foster. but Johnny
shared it back near the grass and
tossed it to Morgan in time to force
Marsans, who had walked.
A Yank rally in the second which
Pipp opened by pounding to center
was nipped when Foster, Morgan
and Judge staged a clockwork dual
killing.
Shaw famed two members of mur-

first visitors to face him when he
assumed the pitching burden in the
sixth. He also whitfield Ham Hyatt,

In summarizing the good ship Yam
kee yesterday, ito 8. while Vean
Gregg was pitching the Mackmen to a
shut-out victory over the Ruthless
Red Sox, and the Browns were ham
mering out a win over Morton and
the Indians. the Nationals narrowed
the distance that separates them from
the New York-Boston-Clevel out
fits to only. two games. The holiday
bills to be played today could result
in the Griffmen slipping back to full
four games in the rear 6f the leading
trio. or could place them practically
on a par for the topmost rung of the
pennant ladder. However that may
be, overnight at least they were
within a couple of jumps Of the front,
and even though they fail all season
again to get as close up you have to
hand it to them for what they have
