So far, the series with the White
Sox stands 2-to-1 in favor of the
Bucks, with engagements today and

League is hoping to cop both of them.
but a lone victory in the brace of
ttlts will mean a very spiffy home
stand record for the team that is to
leave town tomorrow evening for
its second Western invasion of the
year.
That nothing better than an even
break was gained yesterday was due
entirely to the remarkable Hollis
Thurston. This cast-off of the Browns
who has startled the base ball world
this year as White Sox hurler, held
his winning stride to make his sea-

'Thurxton Too Tough.
With Thurston pitching in the form
that has made him such a sensation,
there was nothing to the first game
yesterday but the White Sox. He let
the Nationals. down with only five
hits, and in but one inning were they
able to cluster bingles. That was the
sixth, which Wild Matthews, pinch
batting for George Mogridge, opened
with a Glen hit to center for a base.
Sam Rice followed with a blow to
left that sent Wild no farther than
second base. Then Leibold, Taylor
and Goslin went out in order without
advancing the runners.
For f1ve innings Mogridge hurled
pretty good ball for the home crew.
IN that time he gave up but two
making of the White sox run in in the the
nrst inning. That was due to a pass
to Maurice Archdeaecon, first batter
up; Roy Elsh' retirement, and Roger
Peckinpaugh's failure to prevent Ed

with loud report in the sixth.

In the second engagement the
Nationals recovered their batting

slammed him for ten hits and a
quartet of 'talles in seven rounds,
then conducted themselves quietly
before Southpaw Mike Cvengros in

away with the game. He was forced
to pitch himself out to practically
every batter. yet only six safeties
were CLEANED off his delivery, and had
Goslin been bit faster in his fielding

That final inning score of the White
Sox was started by the ubiquitous
Collins, who singled to center Eddie

toward second base, paying no at

The Nationals had done their scor-

innings. The first brace of runs was
the result of a pass to Judge, Ruel'6

Rice's triple accounted for tally,
