Each time he failed.
Goslin was first to upset his
plans with a rifie-shot peg into the
NIT of Mr.. Charity. who applied

opening round. In the third frame

Had those two runs scored the
winning streak of the Griffs would
certainly have been busted. As =

Zachary enabled the Grifs 10
crawl up within half a game of the
Browns, with high hopes OF climb
ing back into their oil berth as
soon sas they resume action in
Boston.
Jezebel bIanked the enemy in
every frame except the third. when
Woodalls double, Coles lusty triple
and Young's sacrifice fly netted two
runs. Had the silent southpaw re-
Trained from intercepting Rice's
peg on Young's fly there might
have been only one hostile run.
The speed boy certainly cut loose
and might have obliterated Cole.
Against the southpaw sIants of
the slender and smiling Cole the
Griffs gathered nine hits, including
four triples. Two OF these three
cushion swats were made by Pat
Charity, who had a perfect day
withthe bamboo. All of them save
the first one by the stocky catcher

they will have on batting averages.
Bucky Harris was a disappointed
man in the NTH when he opened
with triple and then died on
base. Three outfield flies followed
without scoring him. The first two

Errors Help Grins TO Win.
In addition to Charity. Harris
clicked a trio of hits. Cobb had a
much better day than Heilman, his
rival for batting honors. Two sin
giles in three times at bat were
made by the battling manager.
while Heilmann was turned back
hitless every time he faced Zach.

Washington run. Harris singled
Joe to third. On an attempted
double steal Woodall pegged to
Blue who heaved wildly to third
in an effort to catch Judge and
allowed the firstsacker to score.
Charity raped out his first
triple with one out in the fourth
and crossed the pan when Sargent

Judge skied to Veach.
The third and decisive tally came
in the seventh when Judge opeacd

he attempted to steal home. Then
Goslin tapped to Young for the
third out.
