NOTED OF NATIONALS

More spectacular plays were crowded
into the third inning of yesterdays con-
test than are witnessed usually in a
nine-inning engagement. O'Rourke con-
tributed the first stellar feat in retiring
Piercy, lead-off Yankee batter. The
pitcher hit toward second base and. with
the ball whizzing along in high speed a
safety appeared certain. O'Rourke
dashed across the field. grabbed the
sphere with his gloved hand, shifted it
TO his right, and barely nipped the run
ner at first.
In the Nationals half Bodie made a
startling running catch of Judges liner
to right center. Fewster had to step
lively to stop Milan and Pipp after
halting Rice's grounder. had to slide to
first to head off the feet Griffman
Milan's rap in the first inning became
hit when the ball took bad bound
and was stopped by Peckinpaugh's face.
The Yankee short fielder was not hort
severely.
Rice's steal in the opening session was
a neat bit of work He had a good lead
off first and when Piercy threw to Pipp
Sam set sail for second. He slid under
Wally's toss to Fewster.
O'Rourke made great try for Pipp's
low liner in the sixth Frank lunged at
the ball. but fell. The sphere did not
get by him. however.
In the ninth inning, when the Yankees
had two on. Bodie had the fans worried
for A moment. He connected with one
of Zach's fast heaves and the ball went
soaring over the right field wall. 1t
turned into a foul just before clearing
the barrier.
