the first inning for his tenth homer
of, the season and the 209th of his
career.

he started the rally that gave the
Nationals two tallies in the fag end
of this frame in which doubles by
Bluege and Goslin and Harris sacri-
fee fly were factors, gave way TO
Hollingsworth. The latter yielded
an unearned run in the fifth when
Peck messed up a roller after Witt
and Dugan had singled
Ruers single. a pass to Bluege. Rice'S
second double and a wild pitch enabled
the Griffmen to knot the count IN the
seventh, but Hollngsworth took an as
the stage for the margin the cham-
pions won by when he loaded the bases
