JezebeI Tecumseh Zachary snapped
into 1t yesterday. The big Caro-
lfnian faced the Boston Red Sox in
the first of a four-game series and
let Duffy's men down with only
six hits. one of which was scratch.
Jez was wild in spots. walking six
men during the course Of the NATL
nee. but he was effective with men
on bases. With the paths occupied
he had the Sox talking to them
While Zachary was holding the
Red Sox safe his mates were
pounding Allan Russell with a GER
tain amount of frequency. By the
time the fifth inning had passed
the Nationals had scored a trio Of
runs. They added another pair to
this total IN their eighth. one OF
the runs resulting from Frank
Brewers circuit clout to centerfeld.
The ball rolled to the green wall
In left center and Frank easily
made the circuit. coming in stand
ing up.
Breaks Aid Nationals.
The Red Sox have always been
q hard club for the Griffs to trim.
But they did IL yesterday with lit
tie or no trouble. what few breaks
there were aiding them instead of
taking the customary course
against them.
Russell was almost as Wild as
Zachary, but he didn't have the
saving grace of being steady in
the pinches and cons squentIy the
Griffs were able to get to him with
considerable more regularity than
II e Sox did to Zachary.
The first break that aided the
Griffmen came in the opening in
ming. Leibold had drawn his first
of three bases on balls. Burns
flied out to Peck. Pratt then
slugsed one to right and Leioold
went 10 third.
That brought Joe DuCan. the king
of the jumpers, up and he helped
the Grifrs out of what had all the
earmarks of a scoring inning.
Jos evidently was ordered 70
squeeze teibold over. At any rate
he pushed his bat at the nrst bar
pitched. He missed the pellet by
a foot and Liebold. who had start
ed with Zach's windup. was caught
three-quarters of the way home
with nothing to do but jockey on
the baselines long enough to let
Pratt get TO third.
Leibold did his part but Pratt
was careless going into third and
Gharrity's throw to Shanks caugh,
him by three fet. Liebold was still
jockeyinE on the line but as Prat,
was touched out he grabbed Shanks
and kept the third sacker from tos-
sing to home TO cut of Liebold who
had finally decided to make a break
for the pan Shanks eventually did
throw to Charity but the toss was
wild and Liebold crossed the plate
unnolested.
Out for Interference.
That brought a mob of the Nat
ionals to the plate. All of them
began telling Moriarity just where
he got off at. claiming that Pratts
interference with Shanks auto
matically caused the death of Lie
bold
The umpire listened to the irate
Griffs for a few seconds aad then
waved Liebold out while the Griffs
chortIed with glee and rOmped to
the dugout Moriarity evidently
intended to call Leibold ont all the
time merely waiting long enough
to let the Griffs get some of that
pep out of their system.
Duffy and his mob of Sim Fem
ers Immediately made a break for
the plate and claimed that there
had been no interference. However
Mriarity had settled the thing IN
his own mind and he merely waved
the angry Boston players to their
positions
The Griffs got three men on the
paths in their half of the third but
were able to score only one run
Jez Zachary. the place-hittiHg
wonder of the universe. swung a
hit through the box that travelled
to centerheId while the MoUntaincer
ambled to first. Judge followed with
a single to right. and. believe it or
not. Jez went right to third without
even thinking OF stopping OF second.
Judge went to second on the throw
in. but he could have remained at
first as Peck was issued free trans
portation. filling the bags.
Rice swung at a couple. hut final =
| ly dropped an easy roller to Pratt,
and the ambitious Zachary was
forced out at the plate. leaving the
bags crowded.
shanks drove out a long fly TO
| Menosky in left. scoring Judge. but
the best Brewer could do was a ter
rife liner right into George Burns
paws.
Brewer Homers In Eighth.
A base on balls started the Griffs
the NTH. Judge opened with a
walI<1sAid went to third on Rice's
single to center after Peck had
fouied out to- Burns. Shanks scored
judge and advanced Rice to second
with a sacrifice to Burns unassisted
and Rice crossed the plate on Brow
er's single to center. Brewer died
stealing ending the inning.
The Griffs' final pair of tallies ar
rived in their eighth after Duffy
and sent in a pinch hitter for Rus
sell and had ordered Fullerton to
the mound. Brewer was first up.
He crossed the Red Sox gardeners
by driving the first ball pitched
into deep left center for the circuit,
Leibold having hardly retrieved the
bali before Brewer had crossed the
plate.
Harris lifted to Collins, but Smith
SINGLED to right. went to second as
