Opposed to johnson was Russell, one
of the few saliva singers left. His
damp shoots proved exceedingly ef-
fective after he found the right COM
bination for the distribution Of mois-
ture, but unfortunately for him and
the aspirations Of Messrs. Duffy and
Burke. it fequired one full inning for
the proper adjustment of Allan's
valves, and the trio Of tallies chalked
up while the tinkering was In progress
proved too much of a handicap for the
Hub crew to overcome.
Grins Take Early Lead.
No time was wasted by the Griffs in
getting down to the business at hand,
Russell being given a baptism of four
swats good for trio OF runs. busn
hoped a bingle over the box and
streaked to third when Miian's
McInnis. Judges altitudinous foul was
shared by Walters. but with a three
and-two count on him Rice hoped q
cripple and whackeds 1t to left center
for three bases. chasing Bush and
Milan to the platter. which he reached
safety by Harris. a swinging bunt to
Russell. The latter's toss in an effort
to flag Rice got away from Walters,
enabling Stanley to reach second. He
was killed OF on Miller's rap to scott
and after Shanks was winged Picin-
ich forced him.
The assault was continued in the
second. when three safeties netted
another tally. with Rice on the pro-
ducing end. johnson opened with q
by Bush, but Milan eked out bingle
when Scott was unable to handle his
slow roller in time to force Bush. and
DOME Tailed, after Miller had been re-
tired, when Rice Shimmied a safety
past Pratt. Sam was forced by Harris.
johnson Solved in Fourth.
After sending the SOx back as fast
as they came up for three rounds.
johnson yielded a pair of markers
in the fourth. although he would have
escaped unscathed with the kind of
support he is entitled to. Leibold
started with one-baser to center.
Foster then rammed bounder just
out of the reach of Judge for two
bases. Snappy fielding by Milan
would have held Leibold at third, but
Zeb fumbled as the ball caromed off
the field boxes. enabling Memo to
stagger to the block. Menosky walk
ed and was forced on Pratt's roller to
Harris. a double play failing only
because Bush, in pivoting. pegsed
wide to Judge. Foster reached third
on this play and Tailed on a double
steal with Pratt when Picinich's peg
reached Harris in such shape that
he was unable to attempt a peg or
to tag Pratt. McInnis then fouled
to Shanks and Collins whitfield.
SOx Tally ON One Hit.
Only one hit, a single at that, fg-
ured in the marker registered by the
Sox in the sixth to pull up to within
one of the home guard. Pratt was
the manufacturer and it sent Menos-
ky, who had walked, to third. from
where he scored on McInnis' long fly
to Milan. Picinich nipped Pratt off
first to end the frame.
Following round 2, the Nationals
were unable to get inside Russe!fs
guard until the eighth, when Shanks
walked for a starter. He took Sec
ond on Picinich's sacrifice. galloped to
third after MenOsky got under John
sons fly and Tailed when Bush beat
out slow roller to Scott.
The Red SOX appeared dangerous
at no time in the last three frames.
Scott singled in the seventh and after
Pinch Hitter Wick had been disposed
of Russell famed.
Fosters single was followed by a
force-out inc eighth. when Leibold
and Menosky were robbed Of safeties
by spectacular work on the part of
Shanks and Milan. respectively.
