Evening star., 1921-08-08

Against any team but the Browns
Washington's prospect for obtaining
revenge in the second battle Of the
set today would be considered bright.
johnson is scheduled to do the fling
ing and Walter, on his last start,
packed enough stuff to take the meas
ure of Coyeleskie. Fohrs players are
not flag winners and they have no
hurler of the caliber of the Polish
spitbal star to use. but they play
like world champions when opposed
by the Nationals, so no prediction ex-
cept that there will be keenly con-
tested battle can be made. kolp or
Bayne probably will essay to hold the
Browns in their tie with the Tigers
for fourth place.
Despite the difference in the final
figures yesterdays affair was con-
test for eight innings. the Browns
having only a one-run advantage,
but in the final frame they hoped on
Courtney and drove him to cover with
a barrage of bingleS that netted a
quartet of runs and put the game on
ice.
Browns First to Score.
st. Louis initiated the scoring in round
three, Shocker paving the way for the
pair of runs that accrued with single
between Shanks and O'Rourke. He
tailed on a triple to right center by
Tobin that Miller stumbled over in try
ing to retrieve and Tobin counted when
Ellerbe blistered a single over the midS
way. Ellerbee reached second when
Rice put on a boxing match with the
ball. but died at third when Sisler
failed to connect with the hit-and-run
sign displayed.
Twice in this period the Griffmen were
within scoring distance. In the opener
Rice beat out rap to Gerber in deep
short and stole second only to be left
when Miller bit at high ball, and in
the second when Harris singled and
Charity was beaned neither O'Rourke
nor Courtney could help them. while
Rice'S scratch safety to MacManuS in
the third was unsupported.
The Browns made an unsuccessful bid
for tally in the fourth. After Williams'
whitfield Jacobson singled sharply to right,
moved up on Severeid's bounder over
Shanks' head and reached third follow
ing Gerber's fly to Rio. but was left as
McManus forced SEVERED.
Grfns Start In Fifth.
Charity connected for a lone safe
ty in the rear end of this frame, but
it was not till the fifth that the Ma
tionals were able to horn into the run
column. Two were gone when Milan
drew a pass, advanced on Rices third
straight hit and Tailed on a safe
smash to left by Miller. who reached
second on futile relay to nip Rice at
third. This put it up to Harris, whose
bounder to Ellerbe resulted in Miller
being tagged on the line.
FohrS men employed the sacrifice
to good advantage in the sixth. Three
suicides, one of the aerial variety.
hit batsman and two singles, netted a
pair of tallieS., Williams started with
bingle and reached second ahead of
Courtney's peg of Jacobson's tan. The
pair of them advanced on Severeid's
bunt to Shanks. One counted on Ger
ber bingle to right and the other on
McManus' long fly to Miller. Shocker
then was wounded by pitched ball
and Milan registered the third out by
grabbing Tobin's fly close to the field
boxes.
The Griffs became sufficiently IA

domestic end Of this frame to get
within one run of the visitors total
Shanks started with a clean single
to right. Charity rasped a safety
through Ellerbe, and the bases were
loaded when ORourke scratched a
safety over second, McManus prevent

Shanks scored, while Courtney was
on Judges long fly to Jacobson. Milan
popped to McManus to end the round.
Sew 1t I'd I'm Ninth.
Nothing further of moment devel-
oped until the ninth, when the Browns
laid the contest away in red flannel
by soaking Courtney for fistfLi of
bingles and four runs. Austin sin
gled to left and took second on Mil
1er's tumble. Shocker sacrificed.
Then followed a single by Tobin. a
double by Ellerbe and safeties by Sis
Ter and Williams, the latter's produc-
ing two runs, as Sisler had pilfered
second. Schacht was summoned here
and halted the festivities.
Harris was stranded at second,
which he reached through his single
and Williams tumble in the seventh,
and a similar fate befell Rice, who
made his fourth bingle. in the ninth

ceeded unmolested to the midway. only
to see Miller whiff for the final out.
