CHARLESTON. S. c.. April a.

Oeschger and long Tom watson held
the Nationals to hits while the
Braves collected 9 off Tom Phillips
and Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary. The
Braves have row won three games
while the Nationals have been vic

suit is well and favorable known"
in Charleston. started for the Griffs.

four hits and walked a pair. He
also hit Boeckel with a pitched ball.
Phillips went five innings and was
relieved by Zachary at the start OF
the sixth with the score a tie at

The Carolina mountaineer didn't
seem to have much that the Braves
couldn't get to. Boston crashed out
three hits in the first inning Zack
faced them. but was able to score
only a single. run. A double play.

Won In the Sixth.
The game was won in the sixth.
Southworth singed to right and
went to third on Boeckers single
to center after Cruise had fouled out
worth with a one-base bloE. Ford
then drove to Shanks and was dou-
bled with Holke, Shanks to Harris
to Judge.
Goslin wasn't charged with an
error. but he made two misplays on
ground balls. On the second miscue
he was lucky, as the breaks helped
him to turn what should have been
an error into an out at the plate.
After Powell had got on by a field
er's' choice in the seventh, Kopf
singled to left. Goslin fielded the
hall as though it were a flying fish.
He couldn't seem to get his hand
on it. Eventually he succeeded in
trapping it. Powell had rounded
third and was on his way to the
plate. Goslin's throw beat him by
inches.
Outside of the opening frame.
Phillips looked good. particularly
in view of the fact that he has had
very little work this spring. He
was wild in spots. but worked we'll
with men on the paths and fielded
his position cleanly.
Dick Torres is leaving here to-
night for Washington. The Cuban
injured his left side sliding into
second base in last Saturdays game
with the Braves. The groin Is
swollen and Mike Martin fears he
has been ruptured. In case the in
jury is not considered serious, Tor
res will aid Noone in handling the
young pitchers until the Griffs get
home next Saturday
