O,NeilI Goes Bad.
Jimmy o'Neill had bad day al
the short station. making two wilc
pegs, which helped 10 boost tne
Browns total. He was relieved oy
President Griftith's prediction that
shaw would come through or his
next attempt was not borne out.
Jim demonstrated carly tnat he hac
little or nothing and retired in the
third, with the bases filled and
none out. After that came the

mercy from start to finish, using his
speed with deadly effect. He al
lowed but seven hits. three Of which
came IN one inning without a run.

second time and scored on Ruth's
drive through Thompson that was
aff the scoring for the Washing

Shaw got by the first inning with
cut a score, though he demonstrated
that ne was not in form but in the
third he managed to fill the bases

compiled by the Browns in the
round. Davis, first up, walked, and
Tobin laid one down, but all hands
were safe when Shaw pegged badly
to second for a force play. Gedeon
also bunted and made a-hit out of

his liking. and in the Browns half
of the fourth added another marker
when he hit the first ball pitched to
him into the r4ght-field bleachers
for a home run. 1t was a beautiful
drive.

batting averages came in the sixth

more bingles. They also stole four
bases on the demoralized Griffs.. In
this round Hank SEVERED made
three bases on a short fly to right
when the sacks were full. Roth
