Zachary. whose arm still is aillhS'
was withdrawn IN the first contest In
favor of Phillips, after the Nationals
had taken a four-run lead IN tne
third inning. Phillips worked until
he got in a hole in the ninth, hav-
ing men on first and second, with
one out. when Johnson was sent in
to call a halt Walter did so
quickly, ]. Collins hitting into a
double play on the third pitch.
Young Brillheart gave limitations OF
the wild man from Borneo. and Dr;
Jekyl and Mr.. Hyde. in the second
game. He walked ten. hit two ana
made a wild pitch in seven ana Two
thirds innings. yet he allowed only
five scattered hits. and only one run
would have scored II dinky ny
which could have been caught by any
one of the infielders had not been
uermitted to fall safe after Erick had
gone to his rescue. with two down
in the eighth. Great support and ms
own self-assurance and cooiness
pulled him through and won MN tne
appreciation of the 1S.000-odd present.
Mixed in with his wildness were
three strike-outs that came whe n
he was in dire straits. He was given
a rousing send-off when he went to
the showers.
Third Is Grins' Inning.
washington won each game by
big third inning. In the opening en-
counter they got four runs in tnat
session. Gharrity's homer over me
leftfield wall. accounting for three
of them. They counted five times In
the same session in the final clash,
two bad pegs by Pittenger helping
them to three of the markers.
The Griffs cashed tally at the out
Harris, Rice and Judge that filled the
sacks, and Bluege's out. and they
added two in the eighth on one-basers
by Judge and Goebel and Gosiin's
double, but it was the productive
third that decided the issue.
BILE, Judge and Goebel singled ana
Goslin sacrificed the last pair along.
Then Charity smacked the ball h1gh
over the left field barrier.
The Nationals didn't do much to
the offerings of Rip Collins in the
and they did comparatively nothing
to the deliveries of Russell and Full
lerton. who followed, but what hap
pened in the third was plenty.
Bluege instigated the rally by
walking and was hit to third by
strikes, but Judge bingled the run
over and sent Harris to third. Harris
scored on Brewers sigle. but Judge
was held at second and a minute
later forced at third on Gosltn's
roller to the pitcher. Charity hit
sacker threw far past first Brewer
and Goslin scampered home and Pat
got all the way to the far corner.
He also counted when Pittenger made
anothr wild heave of Peck's roller.
Pittenger. given a third chance'
threw out Brillheart.
- Sox In Thick of Fight.
The Red Sox were in the thick of
the fight all during the first game and
staged incipient rallies in both the
seventh and ninth rounds. Their run
in the first frame came on Burns sin
gle and Pratt's triple. their two In
the fourth were the result Of singles
by Pittinger. ]. Collins and O'Rourke
and Pinch Hitter Menosky's double.
was due to three passes with a nit
mixed in.
Two walks and a single by Lei
bold, the latter coming after two
were out, gave them a deserved tally
in the sixth inning of the second
in the eighth before Joe Harris
doubled and when he passed the next
two Erick was called to the mound.
Then Ruel hit high one. on which
the Alphonse-Gaston act was played
and two runs counted, as the ball

finally decided to make a wild stab
for ii. 1t was credited as a hit.
Pfttenxer, sub for Dugan. who had
a cord cut in his foot when spiked
by Peck Monday, is supposed to be a
great fielder but a weak hitter. He
batted .427 yesterday. and made a
couple of wild heaves that helped
the Griffs to win the second game.
That's not living up to your rep"
Leibold batted 1000 off Brillheart.
He walked the first three times and
singled on the fourth occasion. Erick
stopped him. Memo popping to Peck
in the eighth.
