Walter allowed seven hits while
Ne adorned the mound. but other
Nationals We're responsible for five
heiding misplays that gave the
Athletics at least three tallies. In
the fifth, sixth and seventh sessions
the first Mackman up got a life
through poor handling of the ball by
some Griffman and each of the trio
finally arrived at home plate.
Walter apparently was in fine fettle
when Jimmie Dykes, second batter up
in the Athletics seventh, hit to left
field for double instead of a single.
mainly because of GoSlin'S failure to
play for rebound from the bleacher
barrier. Yet be then was benched
and Fred Wingfeld sent to the hill.
The veteran really was not hit out
of the fray. he was ffelded out of it.
The misplays were committed by
Peck. Harris, Prothro and Rice, with
those of the first two players men
toned doing the most damage.
Prothros error was a two-baSe muff
of Hales' pop-up in the third inning,
but there were two out at the time
and Strand who followed, was an
easy victim for johnson, while Rice
fumbled Simmons single and gave
the Mackman an extra base in the
fourth round.
Harris and Peck Gum Things.
The pair of miscues hurt nothing
except the fielding averages OF Rice
and Prothro, but the errors or Harris
and Peck virtually handed the MackS
runs. Galloway opened the Athletics
fifth with an easy +, ler to the Ma
tionals' manager. The latter was un-
able to pick up the ball and hnaily
booted it toward first. Perkins 1ouieu

as neither Dykes nor Hale could con-
meet with the ball safely.
Strand began the Macks' sixth with

gloved hand. a single by iiauser
and a homer into the leftfield stand
by Simmons followed. boosting the

Long Bryan Harris went to the
mound for the Macks at the start of
the sixth. and the Nationals ham
mered their old jinX hard enough to
win had they not been so careless
afield. A pass to Prothro, Peck's
single and Perkins failure to stop
Miller's return of the ball after Lei

handed the Griffs a run in the eighth,
but they earned one by some sound
humping of Harris in the ninth.
Richbourg, batting for Manager

Rice and Goslin doubled and the

thrown out. Galloway, though, made
a splendid stop of RuerS smash and
a throw that barely nipped the runner
