The Washington herald., 1920-08-28

Though hammered rather treelyi'
yielding a total OF eleven hits, the
Cuban used his noodle in the
pinehes. In the fifth, when the only
opposing tally was put over. he
gave an exhibition Of his ability.
Three successive singles with one
out brought in the run, but the
midget twirler clamped down the
lid. getting out of the dangerous
situation without additional scores.
Ehmke's Error Helps.
Ehmke held the Nationals to six
hits, two of which were punched in
the second when the first run was
registered. In the third the slabber
aided in his own defeat with a wild
peg to second, which put Griffpen
on third and second with none out.
Two runs came over before the in
ming ended.
It is getting to be an almost
daily habit to comment on the nifty
fielding of Stanley Harris. who is
covering more ground around Sec
ond than at any time this season.
He was up to his old tricks again
yesterday. And so were Judge and
Shanks.
Governor Euerbe also got a
chance to pull some sensational
stunts when he relieved Jimmy
O'Neill, who was injured by a bat
ted bali. He took charge OF the
short field in the sixth and Oppor-
tunity wasn't long in knocking at
his door. In the seventh the side
was retired 10y three brilliant plays
on the part Of the South Carolina
boy. He took Ehmke's bad bounder
with one hand near second base
and snagged him. Young sent a
dif1Cult roller in his direction and
he converted it into an out. As a
crowning effort he robbed Pinelli
of a hit on a ball driven past
Shanks, but which he took deep on
the grass and winged to first in
plenty of time. The Governor was
displaying n lot Of pep and won a
hand by his clever work.
Cobb Continues Hitting.
Playing in the Georgia avenue
park seems to agree with the bat
ting eye of this Cobb party, who
plays center field for the Tigers. He
continued his good work yesterday.

only hostile run. In the ninth he
had glorious chance to bring trou-
bic when he came up, with mates

Shanks' one-base blow to right
The other two runs were hung up in
the third. Judge opened with a
single, and Milan tapped TO Ehmke

on ROth's long fly to Cobb. After
that Ehmke allowed only three hits
and was in little or no danger.
