Play Poor Ball.
This was the last run of the
Griffs until they obtained a pair in
the sixth. when they should have
scored a dozen. Stupid base run
ming put a stop to the rally. In the
ninth with two gone Milan and
Rice singled. Rice was thrown out
trying to stretch the hit into
double, ending the game.
The Cubans obtained less hits but
made every one count. In the fourth
inning. with the score l to 0, they
went at Crockett as though they
were going to annihilate him. He
walked the first man up and AL
media singled to right sending
Calve to third. Herrera forced
Almeida at second, but Jack flashed
homo with the tying run. That did
not stand long for Hungo sent the
runner to third and n moment later
he scored on Rodriguez hot shot to
center.
Pound Carlson's SIants.
After the Nationals took the lead
in the sixth Carlson went on the
rubber. The Stars from the isle
across the gulf must have taken
him for some youngster. for they
connected with everything he shot
at them. In almost every instance
they hit past the outfielders-for ex-
ira bases. They made two in the
eighth on Calves single and Almei-
das triple. The latter scored when
Herrera was thrown out at first.
The last came over in the ninth.
when II. Gonzales singled to left
and came all the way home
on Almeida's double. The former
Cincinnati player was the demon
hitter for the visitors. as he regis--
tered a single. double and triple.
The regulars will likely use Shaw
and one of the kids here tomorrow
as it is st. Patrick's Day, and /
learn that no good Cuban works on
that day. The victory did not hurt
the Nationals in the least. for the
score will never reach Big Ban. The
Cubans had a lucky day.
