ZACH SETS DOWN
TIGERS WITH FOUR
HITS; MATS WIN, 81
Griffs Easily Take Third
Game of Series, Scoring
Six Runs in Eighth.

DETROIT, July 27.-Jezebel Te-
cumseh Zachary. awkward as ever.
but even more effective than usual.
today set the Tigers down with
only four safe blows. and the Grins
took their second straight game
from the Cobbmen by a s-to-1
score.
Zachary ha6 the Tigers eating
out of his calloused paw all the
way. In only one inning. the NTH.
were the Tigers able to get more
than one safety. In that frame
they punched a pair of hits which.
coupled with a wild throw by Bucky
Harris. gave them their lone run.
From then on 1t was merely a romp
for the auburn-haired mountaineer
from the hills Of North Carolina.
Jez was in great form and whipped
them across without his customary
acrobatics. At times he merely
lobbed them over. But the Tigers
couldn't get near his shoots. and
after the NTH might just as well
have gone to the plate without
their bludgeons.
Griffs Rally In Eighth.
Cobb got wilder as the game
progressed. And after the eighth
inning. when the Griffmen scored
six runs in a rally that rivaled the
nine-run massacre which the Tigers
staged at their expense on their
last trip to the Capital, the Peer
less One romped into one of his
famous tonEue-lashing moods. tell
ing his toilers just why they should
be playing in the minors instead
Of on a major league ball club like
the Tigers.
The Griffs gathered a two-run
lead in the fourth. and added an
other tally in the NTH. The Tigers
came back in their half of the NTH
and scored their lone tally on a
pair of hits and Harris error. Then
came two scoreless innings before
the deluge.
Two were out in the eighth when
the Nationals opened with a bar
rage that almost shelled the Tigers
out Of the park.
Brewer opened with a grounder to
Cutshaw and Shanks flied to Wood
ALL Then Cole started to dig his own
grave by walking Peckinpaugh. Peck
stole second and Picinich walked.
Then Zach numbered up to the
plate. Jez claims that when he gets
through pitching he'll still be able
to hang around this mans league as
pinch-hitter. And to prove that he
is no summer dreamer he stepped into
one of Coles fast ones and swung it
into left field for triple. scoring
Peck and Picinich.
Tiger Pinch HItters Fall.
Rice scored Zach with a single TO
right and went to second as Harris
heat out a scorcher to Rigney. Judge
lined single into right scoring Rice,
Harris going to third. On Heilman' :
wide throw Judge went to second and
moment later followed Harris over
the plate when Goslin got a lucky hit
into right. Brewer. up for the sec
ond time during the inning. rolled
weakly to Jones for the third out.
That ended the scoring and also
the excitement. Cobb threw his pinch
hitting shock troops into the breach
in the eighth and the ninth but their
efforts were wasted. Zachary treated
pinch hitters no differently than those
who had faced him throughout the
game.
A pair Of hits and as many err
rors gave the GriTs their first two
runs in the fourth inning. Judge
opened with single to center.
Goslin attempted to sacrifice but
was safe when Cole made a wild
throw to second in trying to cut
on Judge. Joe made third on the
throw. He scored as Brewer forced
Goslin, Cutshaw to Rigney. Brewer
went TO second on Shanks' single
to right and scored when Heilman
fumbled the ball. Shanks went to
second. Jones tossed out Peck and
after Picinich had been hit by a
pitched ball the slugEing Zachary
lifted to Neach to end the inning.
In the next inning two hits
netted the Griffs another tally
Rice doubled to center and after
Harris had whitfield. scored when
Judge drove single into left.
Judge, however. was killed off. Cobb
to Cutshaw. in trying TO stretch
the blow.
Ray Francis will probably be
Manager Milan's selection for the
final game of the series tomorrow
afternoon. Cobb Is expected to
send Reds Oldham hack in an ef-
fort to even the series.
Cobb got only one hit during the
matinee, but Is still leading Sisler
by a few points for the batting
crown.
