The Nationals did not find Pennock
the puzzle he had BEEN to them In
other encounters this year. They
combed him for nine hits all told,
getting them in the four innings fol-
lowing the opening session. Three
were clustered In the second frame
for a pair. of tallies and two in the
fourth, mixed with Everett Scotts
tumble, the only fielding slip In the
contest, accounted for the remainder
or the scoring.

But the Yanks found Zahniser trou-
blesome all the way, even though the
& pitcher was disposed to be somewhat
generous with his free tickets to first
base. Zahniser gave Ave bases on
balls In as many innings, yet in only
two of the nine frames were the
. Ianks able to get as many as a
couple of runners on the paths at the
same time.
when the National hurler walked a
batter and was found for a single
by another and in the second period
under similar circumstances. During
the next three sessions the visitors
got no safeties, but Zahniser passed
a pair of batters and hit one. He
was reached for one safety in the
sixth and two in the seventh.

a one-base knock along the lert-field

too far to the right for Witt to
reach. The hit put Harris at third
