That five run third inning was not
enough to permit the Nationals to
rest comfortably during the remain
der of the game. Both Wally Lefty
Warmoth and Jack Hollings gsworth.
Manager Bush's pitching selections,

to keep their eliminates on their toes
all the time, while Clarence Mitchell,

and Jim Bishop. last of the Philly
slabmen, granted the clan of Griffith
no faVOrS.
Warmoth, former Southern Associa-
tion pitcher, went through the first SIX
innings for the Nationals and was
in hot water all the way. He yielded
seven hits. all singles; issued three
passes. uncorked a wild pitch and hit
a batter. In only one inning-the
third did Warmoth 20 unscathed.
Vet in that session he was unduly
wild, walking two. only good held-
ing saved him. and when his support
faltered in the sixth he was reached
for tally.
HoIIinGsworth Wild, TOO.
TTollingsworth also was wild and
was pounded for four SafetieS, one Il
double, during the time he worked.
His in-and-out performance cost him
a run in the seventh inning and in
the ninth he was hammered for an
other. A well executed double play
brought him out of difficulty in the
eighth session. He struck out two
batters, one less than Warmoth re-
tired in that manner, but, like his pre-
decessoP on the hill. Hollingsworth
because of his wild tendencies, had to
give everything lie had to each bat
ter that faced him.
IT was well for the Nationals that
Art Fletcher, the Phils' new boss. put
Hubbell into the game. He was the
only pitcher they were able to do
anything against. After he was
slammed, for half d dozen clouts,
totaling eleven bases in two and two
thirds innings, the proteEes Of Bush
might just as well have tossed their
bats into the big leather container
that Trainer Mike Martin guards so
carefully and let the Phillies go the
rest Of the route at the plate.
Clarence Mitchell assumed the
pitching burden with two Nationals
out and BlUege perched on second
base in the third inning and prompt

then on not a National reached first
base until the seventh session. when.
with one down, Sam Rice tripled TO

to the box in the ninth by Fletcher.
Nationals Pound HubbeH.
The Nationals jumped on Hubbell

first inning, and they threatened to
score in the second when, with two

home. only to be nipped at the plate
by Sands relay of Mokan'S throw

1t was different in the third. War

Goose scored, however. when COnroy

The Nationals did well afield. the
