afternoon beating Howard Ehmke and
the Tigers.
Until the ninth inning Jezebel was
going along like he usually goes when
he is feeling good and has Tiger bats
men IN front OF him. The Detroit
run total was two and in but two in
nings had they been able to bunch
hits. In FIVE innings they went out in
the well-known one-two-three order.
JeZebel was there several ways
from the ace, and since Ehmke had
had one bad inning. the third. when
the Griffmen scored four runs, Jezebel
held the Tigers in the hollow OF his
well-trained left hand. When the
Tigers came to bat in the ninth
Washington had a lead Of FIVE runs
and the spectators began tramping
out Of the rot. But in the ninth De-
troit started an assault and. aided
by an error OF omission in fielding
by Zachary himself. scored four runs
and had the winning run on the sacks
when the third out was made.

Lou Blue a Washington boy and

suit the style of pitching frequently
here this season.
