NATIONALS TO 1913
MOVER RED SOX

Ten Runs in Two
Innings.
By RAY HELGEsEN.

With Iezebel Tecumseh Zachary
hurling quite respectable ball the Ma
tionals came back long enough to take
a 10 to . victory from the Red Sox
yesterday. Zach was in great shape.
Though the Sox got him for ten hits
he was invincible in the pinches. let
ting down somewhat in the ninth after
the Griffs had given him big enough
lead to win two ordinary games.
Fullerton and Allan Russell worked
for the Sox. After the fourth Rus
sell went along well enough. but the
damage had been done previous TO the
fifth, the third and fourth innings,
giving the Griffs their ten runs.
The game was different than have
been the majority OF the Griffs' games
lately in that the Nationals managed
to get a few runs behind better than
average pitching.
Seven runs In the third inning of
Russell and Fullerton and three in
the fourth of Russell gave the Griffs
a larger run total than they have
scored in their last five games added
together.
Red sox Score First.
The Red Sox started OF in the first
inning. scoring one run as a result Of
double and a pair of sacrifices.
Mitchell opened with a two-base drive
To left center. went to third on Miller's
perfect sacrifice and scored when
Burns drove a long fly to left. Pratt
followed with another double but was
stranded.
That was all the runs the Sox
got unit the ninth when Zach loos-
ened up somewhat and allowed
them to cross the plate with a
couple of more.
In the meantime the Griffs were
more or less active with the fail.
In the third twelve men faced Full
lerton and Russell. nine scoring.
Zachary. Judge and Harris were up
twice and Zach was credited with a
a pair of singles in the one inning.
Three walks. a double and five
singles, two of which were made by
Zachary, and a sacrifice gave the
Nationals seven runs. 1t was the
biggest single inning they have had
this season and shows that there
is a punch somewhere in their COL
lective system hard as IL is to get
out when the necessity arises which
has been frequent and often lately.
Mats Get Three More.
The Sox were lucky that the
Griffs didn't repeat in the fourth.
AS 1t was Milan's men scored three
runs and probably would have made
more had, they wished to prolong
the agony.
Every National faced Russell
during the inning; two walked. one
doubled, three singled. two sacri-
ficed and one was just out. That
series of happenings brought the
Nationals three runs which raised
their total to ten, a mark which the
Red Sox were entirely too tired to
shoot at.

over but somehow or other the
Griffs couldn't touch him. He didn't
seem to care much whether he
pitched or not, probably hoping that
Duffy would send in a relief hurler.

there. Luckily for him, Burns. who
was at bat, fouled and so the day
was saved for him. Even Jumps
Connolly was forced to smile at
this 'clever" base running.
Peckinpaugh made a sensational
stop on Pratt m the sixth which
cost the latter a base. Pratt shot
hot grasser between third and
short which was labeled extra bases.
Peck raced over and snagged the
ball back-handed. but did not have
chance to get him out at first.
