Jose Acosta and Al Schacht both
bad red flannel undershirts. but very
little else. At that the Nationals
might have eked through t" victory
except for reprehenSible work afield
by ORourke and Miller. each of whom
was guilty of a piece of misconduct
not recorded in the box score. but
costly nevertheless. For details read
the following and yawn-
Miller Saves His Arm.
Acosta's inability to locate the plate
At the outset proved costly to the ex-
tent of one run. although piece of
poor Judgment on the part of Miller
was factor. Johnson and Muliigan
walked in succession and Collins pop
ped to Harris Johnson scored on
Hoopers single to right Miller max
ing no effort to throw TO the plate.
although a good peg would have shut
off the tally.
Milan's single in the opener was
nulled wnen Rice smacked into a dual
killing. but three runs accrued to the
GriffS in the second on as many hits. 4
pair of walks and a sacrifice fly. With
Harris out Miller singled TO left and
reached third when Falk's return

A double pay by Yaryan paved the
way for a SoX tally in this frame. 1t

acned after sharp sprint but could
not hold. Yaryan scored on Mu!renan's

A tumble by O'Rourke which is not
recorded officially was resonsible for
the fact that the Sox amassed three
run to take the lead il hte third
instead of being limited to a single
counter. Collins and hooper singled
in succession. both stiff drives to
center. FaIk bounced sharp!yto Har-
