Betting the delivery of Urban
Shocker for eight judiciously-bunch-
ed bingles. the Nationals obtained
clear title to four tallies, double the
number earned by the opposition. but
due to the nefarious activities of
Ruel Goslin and BIuege. this total
fell just one short of proving suf-
ffcient.
Paul Vernon Zahniser. who humbled
the Yanks in such an impressive man
ner last Monday. deserved a better
fate than befell him. He had one
bad round-the fourth-when he
yielded three bingles and as many
runs. but with the proper support
would have escaped with only two
tallies charged against him in the
five frames he toiled.
After ZahniSer had been withd drawn
to let Wade fan for him. Brillheart
blanked the enemy for three rounds
and Warmoth breezed through the
ninth unsCathed.
GriTs Get OF In Front.

In the second Williams walked for
starter Rice raced over into CEN
terfield for McManus' fly, but Sever

successfully essayed double steal
and when Ruers peg struck Williams
at third and rolled to the stand the
latter continued on to the counting
block. Schliebner and Ezzel lett
Severoid on second:
With two gone in the fourth the
Fohls registered three times to take
the lead McManuS beat out a bunt
to RIuegc stoI" second and after
SEVERED walked. scored on Schlleh-
ner's single 10 left. EZzels safety TO
center cashed SEVERED and placed
Schliebner on third from where he

Goslin's two-base muff Of Gerber's

counter in the fifth. He reached thlrd
while Peck was retiring Jacobson IN
speCtacular style. and scored on VIII
Hams line single to right. Kenneth
kept on to second when Rice fumDled
the ball but got no farther.
The fans We're keyed up to a hlgh
pitch when the BuShmen, after six
fS-uitIess frames. got Shocker's range

pastime. With Ruel disposed of.

victimized by his rival receiver, who
crashed into the stand to take his
foul: Wade waved weakly at three
rttched balls and Rice popped to Nc
