No time in getting into action was

Oldham. He moved up on Harris

1t was just a question of time un-
til this unheard of generosity on the
part of johnson would prove fatal,
SO in the sixth. after he had issued
free tickets to Bassler and Blue.
Francis was summoned from the bull
pen, where he had been warming up
almost constantly since the second
inning. Rays control also was poor
and he passed Haney, batting for

throwing out Cobb. two Tigers being
left when Veach rolled to Judge.
Heilmann put the Tigers run to
the seventh, when he belted one of
Francis offerings over the railing
into the sunless sun seats in right for
q circuit of the bases. Francis got rid
of the next two, but walked BasSler,
wild pitched him to second and the
Tyser tally was Smiths perfect peg to
Charity. when Oldham singled to
left.
Oldham got the derrick in the
eighth when he suddenly developed
a streak of wildness after hurting
effectively for six sessions. Smith
got no farther than second In round
on his safety. and Picinich's sacri-
fee and walk to Rice was wasted
after Bluege died trying to stretch
a double in the third.
Following Goebels single, Smiths
sacrifice and a pass to Picinich in
the fourth, La Motto drilled into
double play. The Griffs were retired
I'm order in the fifth and Judge was
left on third in round s, reached by
virtue of a Texas Lacquer to right.
Uaney gave the Grffs an opening in
the seventh when he let Gharrity's
drive go through him. Pat reached
the far corner on La Notes sacrifice
and the death of Francis. Bluege
then walked, only to be forced by
Harris.
Nationals Go to Front.
Then came the eventful eighth,
with the Nationals vaulting into the
lead, thanks largely to Smiths bat
ting prowess and Francis tossing off
the advantage. Rice walked for
Goebel, after Judge had lined to
Heilmann. the Bengal southpaw was
yanked' in favor of Ehmke. The lat
ter was greeted by Smith with
scoring Rice and Goebel. but Ian
guished at the far corner. as neither
Charity nor La Motto could accom-
plish anything.
In the flag end of the session Blue
led with lucky single that took
oleer bound over La Notes head.
He reached third on Haney's sacri-
nee and Cobb's death and scurried to
the pan with the tying tally when
Francis uncorked a wild pitch.
