Evening star., 1924-07-21

The Bucks displayed a deal of
gameness against the Browns yes
terday, and for the first time in days
fortune appeared to be with them.
The so-called breaks of the game
came their way continually, instead
of favorng the opposition, as they
have done so much recently. But
breaks really are developed by the
persistent efforts of those whom they
favor, and Harris and his bunch GER
tainly worked for them in the last
of the series with the Sislerites.
Johnson Goes Seven Rounds.
The Browns battled strong enough
to force the Nationals all the way.
Walter Johnson, reported by the
local management Saturday as being
in no condition to ascend the mound,
apparently recovered from his indis>
position overnight. for he gave a
pretty good slabbing exhibition in
the first seven innings of the fray.
SIX hits and two runs went the way
of the Browns during that time. one
OF the blows being homer by Sisler,
but the Bucks had gotten to Dixie

came to life, and Davis, who had
seven sessions, was well jolted. A

game in the eighth, and in the
