Jezebel. Oswald, Earl and a few
other Washington athletes with first
namesf not quite as unusual and
highbrow put the skids under the
Indians today and inflicted a third

Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary did the
pitching. Oswald Bluege the field
Ing and Earl Smith contributed p
faig, share of the hits that resulted
IN the downfall of the Redskins.
Jez Tee Zach teld the crippled
and shaken-up Indians to five hits.
In only one inning did the Redskins
assemble two hits. That feat saved
them from a shut out. at least that
and the fact that Zachary issued his
only wild pitch in the inning in

and the two hits, goose eggs would
have been the Tribes portion

only indication that Zach's controi
was not perfect Not a pass did

Seldom did he pitch anything but
strikes to the Cleveland batters.

The FIVE Indians who batted safely
were the only ones to reach first

Mclnnis. to whom went the honor
of Saving the Tribe from a shut
out. Stephenson was the only Cleve-
lander to reach third
the far corner was just another
tribute to the wonderful pitching
of Jez Tee Zach. The Alabama boy
started the second inning with a
terrific drive to the extreme north
end of the old centerfield bleachers.
All but dropping in the open face

the screen with such force it bound
ed back a third of the way to sec
ond base, Stephenson pulling up at
third.
With none out. it was a 50-to-i
shot he would score. but when Joe
Seyell hit sharply to Zachary. there
was nothing for Steve to do but
seek safety on the sack. McInnis
shot a vicious liner toward left, but
Bleege jumped in the air and
snagged it and the Tribes one bes,
bet faded away as Stevie still was
on third. when Wood tapped to
Bluege and was thrown out easily
BIuege shines.
This boy Bluege was the whole
works. being the shining light of
the Mats inner works. Seven chances
came his way, and not one did he
miss. Several of the. stops were

IL look easy.
The youngster. who would not
have played had not injuries played
havoc with the Nationals lineup.
also demonstrated that he is some
hitter by cracking out two bingles

Both Uhle and Zachary pitched
inyincible ball for four innings. nei-

Milan's representatives from the
Capital City forged to the front in
the sixth session on hits by Bluege,
Harris and Rice. Singles by La
Motto and Zachary in the seventh
brought the Mats total to three.
Brewer and smith Hit.
The fireworks started in the
eighth after the first two Washing
ton batters had been retired. Brow
er elevated the sphere against the
right-feld wall for two sacks. Earl
Smith emulated the hit made by
his puddle, sockinE the ball against
the right-field wall Brewer scor-
ing. A regular barrage followed
4 single by Charity, Gardner's
tumble and a one-ply wallop by
Zachary producing two additional
talffes. and il is a question how
many would have scored had not
La1fotte been caught trying to
reach third on Zachary's hit.
The Nationals appear to have hit
their stride and will make it tough
sailing for the Western clubs if
ball displayed here. The Indians
had Just cleaned up on the Tigers
for four straight wins and were
confident OF annexing the present
series from the Mats. who came to
town herallded as "the cripples."
Manager Milan will probably
shoot Walter johnson at the Tribe
tomorrow in an attempt to take the
entire series. McAllister. who is
plotting the Indians during the alb

all his regulars and is in a quandary
