ZACHARY'S GREAT WORK WASTED
AS BROWNIES TRIM GRIFFMEN
NJ JACK NYE.

Hezekiah Zachary used both hts
arm and bat effectively in an effort
TO jolt the fighting Browns yester-
: day. but found the order too great
; a one without the usual aid from
> his teammates. Furnishing nearly
: all OF the Nationals offensivss
= power. the big Ieft-hander also
pitched a brand OF ball that usually ]
wins. but was forced to accept q
? to defeat.
OF the six hits made by the Locals
on Urban Shocker and his spitter,
two wero driven out by zacharyis'6fg
bat. One was a lusty triple totleft
center. The other, double "a left,
gave the Grinmen their last chance/
to tie the score, but the golden mo-
ment was not seized and opportu-f I
nifty knocked no more at the door.
Zachary's double inaugurated tne
eighth inning, after the game had i
rocked along from the second On
ming. with the Browns one rhn.si
ahead. Bobby Roth was delegaeedi /
= to run for the hitting pitcher. who I.
retired amid the applause. of the, J
fans who appreciated his good work
Judges sacrifice bunt advanced
Roth to third. There were prayers

Sisler, who fielded 1t cleanly. bluffed (;
a throw to home which drove Roth
ScampeTing back to third. and then ;
tagged Zcb on the line.
Question Judgment.
Eoth'S judgment in failing 10
come hona- on the play was ques-
tioued by Manager Griffith after the !
inning. Had he started with the
wing OF the bat he might have |
beat Sisters peg and the manager |
believed that the cnancc should !
nave been taken. Roth was left (
high and dry when Rice skicd to |
Thompson and the Nationals hopes !
faded.
Though nicked for ten hits, Zach
ary was not often in trouble. He |
was not as steady as usual. having
ball; and wild pitch to his credit,
in addition to three bases on balls.
The seventh was the only inning in (
which he was in real danger. save
in the second. when the two st.
Louis runs were scored. The enemy
managed to fill the bases. with one
out. in this round. but clever sup
port enabled the big pitcher to
emerge without a score.
ShOcker shows Form.
Shocker worked we'll at all times,
keeping the locals hits widely scat
tered save in the second. when two
were coupled together. scoring the
only National run. Urban's splitter +
usually had Griff's men hitting
weakly to the infield.
Though Gedeon doubled. with one
out, in the first, the Browns failed |
- to score. Ellerbe ending the inning |
with a fancy one-handed pickup of !
Sisters bunt. which he pegged to
first on the run.
In the second Burke's men got /
next to Zachary for their only runs.
Williams opened with a double and I
went to third when Zachary COM
mitted balk. catching his spikes in
the rubber as he started to pitch.
He came home on Jacobson's long
sacrifice fly. Severeid singled and /!
went to third when Milan tossed |
wildly to second after Gerbers short
single. This error allowed the .
? Brown catcher to score when Shock
er drove a fly to Rice. Thompson ,
skied out to Calvo. who was sta
toned in right field in the pace of |
Roth.
-S- Judge Gets Hit.
Judge cracked out a single in the
first, but Milan hit into a double L
play, and there was no scoring. In
the second the Nationals marked up
their run. Harris singled and stole.
going to third when SEVERED peEEed
wide trying to catch him off second.
lie trottcd in when EIlerbe came
through with a timely hit.
There were two out in the fifth
vixen Zachary decided to take Il
hand in the hitting himself to see +
il he couldn't start some scoring. !,
He poled one to deep left center. |
reaching third without effort, and 1
the fans saw visions of tied score. |
Judge was not equal to the occa-
sion however, and popped cut to !
SEVERED. IT the seventh, Harris /
made his second hit. was sacrificed |
and went to third on ShccEer's wild |
effort to pick him of secc nd. He |
remained on the last cushion while |
Shannon and Charity were easily !
disposed of.
Zachary Doubles.
Zachary was first up in the eighth |
and uncorked his long double down
the left field line. Roth vas i'm |
mediately sent in to run for him. |
The remainder of the sad story will |
not be repeated here. Suffce it to !
say that this round saw the ball |
game go a-gliDmering.
Not once after the second was
Zachary in donger. except in the |
seventh, when the bases were filled. |
with one out Shocker and Thomp- I
son singled and Gedeon occupied !
first on four wild ones. Things |
looked blue. but Eddie Charity |
and Stanley Harris came to the res
cue by catching Thompson OF Sec |
Ond as he dreamed of the menu for !
supper. Thus encouraged. Zachary /
forced Tobin to ground out to Judge. |
.. Ole Erickson, assumed the pitch
ing role after the eighth and, though |
