When Grifith finally got away

his progress was slow, for every one
that recognized him-and there were

or give him a pat on the back.

would be just the thing to battle the

been so easy for the Bucks, they
probably would have been forced to
wait until today to land their cham
pionship.
Bucks Bump Fullerton.
Fullerton was well bumped in the
first two innings and Fohl sent the
venerable Jack Quinn to the box in
the third round to finish the game
for the Red Sox. Five of the Ma
tionals' 13 safeties were made off
Fullerton during his short mound
term. Zachary was almost as bad.
He gave up five wallops in the first
three innings and was in trouble
| in each Of them. So in the fourth
Harris put Fred Marberry on the
slab. Four swats in six innings were
all Fred gave up.
Sam Rice's speed combined with
Steve ONeills wild heave made a run
Tor the Bucks in the opening round.
There were two out when Rice singled
to left field and he darted for second
base on the initial pitch to Goose Cos
lin. Sans slide had O'Neill's throw
beaten. even IL good, but the ball

scampered back to first after turning
the bag.

Bobby Veach's single and a pass to
Ike Boone filled the sacks and sad
dened the 10000 Boston fans in the
stands who were roofing for a Wash
ington victory. Zach frightened for a
time and famed Joe Harris. Then
Homer Ezzell sent a sharp grounder
to the left OF Roger Peckinpaugh, but
the veteran short fielder grabbed
the ball and with Bucky Harris and
Joe Judge engineered a double play.
Judge and Ossie Bluege had been
retired in the Bucks second inning
before Fullerton was reached for two
tallies. Peck poled a single to center
and Muddy Ruel did likewise, sending
Roger to third base. Zachary bumped
a one-base blow into left field and
Peck counted, while Ruel took third.

for the Bucks until the eighth. Bucky

center. Goslin forced out Rice, but
took third when Judge singled
Wamby, however, made fine catch
