Mogridge had only one poor in
ming, the sixth. when he ascended
the mound fatigued from attempting
to beat out a roller to Wally Gerber
that resulted in the third out of the
Nationals part of the frame. In the
other session Williams round-trip
knock was the only scoring oppor-
tunity offered the opposition.
Three pitchers fell victims to the
youthful college prodigy. who sub
dued the Harrismen in Washington
last month, started the game but
was chased by, a fusilade of eight
bingles that netted four tallies and
being nicked for two successive
bingles in the sixth frame he gave
way to Hubert Pruett. A pinch bat
ter did away with Shucks, and Bill
Bayne hurled the last two rounds.
Both of these late slabmen were
reached for scores.
Gos1fn Leader on Attack.
Leading the National attack was
Goose Goslin, who enjoyed perfect
afternoon at bat. He clouted homer
off Wingard in the second inning and
doubled in the fourth and singled in
the sixth off the same boxman.
Goose's fourth blow, a single, was
made at the expense of Bayne in the
eighth. This slugging drove in two
National runs and the Goose scored
four himself. To make it a great
day, Goslin stole third base in the
eighth session.
1t was one-two-three for the Ma
tionals in the first frame, and the
Browns accomplished nothing. al
though they had runners on first and
second as a result of Sisters single,

The Nationals broke the ice in the
second round, however, when Goslin
hit the first ball pitched irto the

Wally was quickly forced out by

stranded at the initial sack.
Then the GriGs Get Busy.
Then came a series of scoring ses-
sions for the Harr!smen. In the
fourth three hits were good for two
tallies. Matthews opened the frame
with single past Gerber and Harris
sacrificed. Goslin looped a Texas
Lacquer double to right, but Wild. who
feared a catch, started late and had
to pull up at third. RuePs single
scored Matthews and Goslin. Bluege
then forced Ruel and was nipped
trying to steal.
Another marker was registered in
the fifth, begun by Peck with a dou-
BILE against the left-field fence. Shir-
ley laid down a sacrificial bunt and
Peck counted after Jacobson caught
Mogridges fly to deep center. Rice
followed with a single to right, bUc
it was wasted when Matthews fouled
to Sisler, who made good catch.
The sixth inning was the finish for
Wingard Harris began the round
with a bunt that was good for a sin
gle, but Robertson insisted upon
making a throw and when the ball
whizzed past Sisler Harris dashed to
third. Goslin singled to right, SCOT
ing Harris and the young University
of Alabama product was yanked by
Sisler. Pruett, relief pitcher, was
bumped by Ruel for a sacrifice and

head off Ossie. Mogridge made tn
third out when he was barely retired
after sending a slow roller to Gerber,

That sprint to first seemed to have
weaker Mogridge somewhat, for he
had a troublesome sixth session on
the mound, due mostly to loss of con-
troll SisIer was retired by a good
catch Of Peck's, but Williams and
walked. Both were tailed
by Jacobson's double to the left-field
fence. Mogridge then found himself
and famed Robertson, the Browns
leading batsman, and Jacobson was
trapped of second while SEVERED
was at bat.
There was nothing doing for either
club in the seventh, but both counted
in the eighth. Bayne was pitching
for the Browns, Pruett having been
banished in favor of Collins, a pinch
batter, in the, seventh.
Goslin tapped the newcomer for 4
single, his fourth successive hit OF
the day, and Ruel walked. Before
Bluege famed, Goslin worked a de-
layed steal. The Goose held third
after Evans caught Peck's short fly.
but counted when Shirley singled TO
center. Mogridge ended the frame
with fan.
The Browns run came after two
were out, when Williams propelled
the ball over the right-ffeld stand for
A round trip, his tenth of the season.
That ended the scoring for the day.
