Nationals Again Fail
To Solve Dixie" Davis
Tobin's Circuit Clout and Williams Sixteenth
Drive in Six Runs-Zach Yanks
Himself -Schacht finishes.

Losing streak, which dumped them
slose to the tail-end Athletics, Man
ager Mcbride had his schedule set
for four straight here. but a ter
-ific batting attack against South
paw Zachary's twisters upset the
initial part of the program.
The Browns started with a double.
and from then on they collected a
series of singles. not forgetting two
home-run drives. In fact. two cir
cult wallops were responsible for
six of the Browns scores. Tobin had
one and Williams hit the bell for
his sixteenth OF the season. There
was one ripple of enthusiasm for
the Nationals. Earl Smith was the
leading swatter, with q single and
double against Dixie Davis. and
impersonated the inimitable Iris
Speaker as a ny snatcher by making
three brilliant catches in the right
pasture.
sIsIer Back In Lineup.
Unfortunately for the Nationals
they caught the Browns recovering
jursd last Saturday. was on the
cheek. Sisler was back at first to-
day giving the Browns their regu-
lar lineup.
Besides saving wild throws for
infelders. SisIer counted two hits
and generally played a prominent
part in the downfall of the third
rlacers.
The opposing pitching. too. is
what put the Nationals in the hole.
when the Browns were in the East
a month ago they dropped four of
the five, winning the last of the
series. when Dixie Davis nipped
Johnson in ten innings to l. Davis
vas just as good today. and only
was disturbed in the sixth inning.
When Joe Judge hit into the right
field bIeachers for home run. But
this was only the third hit for the
Nationals Davis was so puzZling
today that, although Clyde Milan
opened the eighth with a triple, he
did not cross the plate.
The bOmbardment started in the
hrst. Tobin doubled; Sisler singled
and Tobin scored as Harris tossed
out Williams. The break in the
game came in the second. Collins,
Austin and Davis filled the bases
with singles when Charity helped
the situation by picking Collins of
third. Tobin poled a harsh liner
to center. and it was going straight
to Rice. All Sam had to do. was
stand there and put up his hands.
However. he put on squirt by com
ing in and discovered that he was
on the wrong trail 1t was too-lata
to save the day as the ball sailed
over his head and rolled to the
renteT-fe fence for a homer and
three runs.
Zach YankS Himself
From then on the Browns con-
tihued to peck away at Zachary
Singles by McManus, Davis and
Tobin scored one in the fourth. In
the fifth a single by Williams. dou-
BILE by Jacobson and single by Nc
manus netted two. The sixth saw
singles by Tobin, Ellerbe and Sisler
and williams smashed over the
right-fieId fence for homer. Zach
ary did not wait for a signal from
the bench but walked off the field.
and Schacht finished the game.
The best opening for the Ma
tionals was in the second. Smith
singled and Harris was hit. In
stead of playing for the sacrifice
Shanks went out to clean up. He
bounded straight to Davis, and a
double play resulted. Then Char
rity walked. a pop to Collins by
O'Rourke closed the round.
The next squirt was the sixth.
over the right-field fence for Judge.
Milan flied to Jacobson. Rice was
hit Smith skied to Williams. Har-
ris singled ard Shanks famed.
Walter johnson probably will go
out to stop the BrowLs tomorrow.
VangfIder is due for FOhl. The
Browns had a losing streak OF four
straight, but the return of Sisler put
them back in winning form.
Kenny williams counted his six
teenth home run of the season IN
the sixth inning. Tha wallcp M
ished Zachary for the day. Mcbride
decided that when A left-hShdeh
hitter drives out that far 1t was
time to remove the husky southpaw.
When Ellerbe put a single il left
in the sixth inning all of the BrS|Es
were in the base hit column. johnnie
Tobin was the leader with two sin
giles, a double and homer
Even the reliable slip occasionally.
There was Sam Rice, a great ball
hawk, misjudging a drive. Had sam
played his P's and Qs on 1 liner
from Tobin the Browns would have
been blanked in the third. But he
misjudged il and a home run result
ed with two on
Earl Smith was royalty received
by his old-time friends. He had the
first two hits against Davis. a single
ii right in the second, and o double
to right in the fourth. Bue Ear's
pals did not give him enough sup

Harris had his first bad day since
visiting st. Louis. Several hOrpers
were played on the wrong bound

instead of errors.
Urban Shocker repUrt"1 to the
Browns yesterday but remains on
the suspended list. Failing 10 obey
orders to rejoin the club last week
caused Manager FohI to suspend the
pitcher and looks az II a trade
will be arranged for him.
