Sharing honors with Johnson was
Oswald Bluege of Chicago's South
Side. This youth showed his fellow
citizens what a big Lacquer can do
when he selected one of Charlie
Robertson's offerings in the fifth and

wallop as well as a timely one and
sent the Nationals ahead for the re-

y He got two walIops off Robertson in
three times and singled the only time
he faced Mack.
BIueEe apparently will become a
really formidable hitter. His homer
off Robertson was q smash that would
have been good for four bases on any
field. He met the ball well the three
other times he batted against the
starting hurler and stung Mack for a
one-base looper over Ernie Johnsons
head.
walter Johnson's sacrifice hit in the
seventh inning was a tremendously
long fly that almost went for hit.
:; Bib FaIk had to go the corner of the
park along the left-field foul line to
make the catch. He had no chance
at all to throw out Peck, who was on
third at the time.
