enough to drive Elan to the cooling
showers. Pruett then toed the slab
and was pounded for eight hits and
all of the Nationals tallies in excess
OF those made by the opposition.
Zachary has found it difficult re-
Gently to last through game. Yes
terday was the third time in sue
cession he had to have relief after

a vengeance. They combed him for
five wallops and three runs, enough

three tallies. The captain also reg
istered pair of blows that chased

threatened to become troublesome;
Williams boosted his batting record
when he tapped to Peck ana an peat h the
son was credited with hit officially
when he rolled to Charity and the
first-sacker tossed to the uncovered
second station for an intended force
play against Williams. Peck got to
the bag just in time to grab the
sphere and prevent possible further
damage. These runners were strand
ed however, for McManus .lofted to
GoSlin.
