BroWnS-and DaviS-for the first tIr
Although in eight games played since
they returned from touring the North
they scored a total of Al runs. they
were unable to win half their games.
featS and a tie Their average of
5.5 tallies a contest, produced with
So hits-more than 10 to game
was topped by the Tigers and Yam
KEGS, who collected total of 70 tai
lies and registered an average of al
most runs for each tilt, their ag-
Eregate of 1913 hits being just 20
more than the Browns were able to
make.
Home Runs Tell.
Now, yesterdays contest. The
Browns acquired but S SafetieS off
Zachary and Gregg, l less than Davis
yielded. but SiSler & Co. achieved
runs therefrom, while tallies COM
prised the total of the Capitalians.
The margin of difference is found i'll
the pair of circuit cloutS over the
right field barrier contributed by Ken
Williams, and thereon hangs another
tale. This field, a ridiculously short
affair, is supposed to work to the ad-
vantage of the home team, playing
exactly half its total of games here.
During the sojourn here of the Cobb
ties and Hugmen they poled a total
of 10 balls into this home-run haven,
while the. Browns got but 3.
Then the Nationals arrive. with
Rice, Goslin and Judge making a
target of the comparatively close
seats to no purpose, while single
member of the home guard twice
finds the range, and another game
is gone, never to be recovered.
The Griffmen let a fine chance go
glimmering in the first inning yester-
day when, after Rice had singled and
been retired. Davis filled the bases by
hitting Joe Harris and walking Goslin
and Judge. Bluege failed in this
pinch by taking a third strike.
Griffs Score At Start.
A minimum of munition was re-
quired by the champs to register the
initial tally of the pastime in round
5, the run accruing from Stan Harris
single down the third base line, Joe
Harris infield death and shot to
center by GosIin,
An even more cheaply earned
marker was chalked up in the fourth
when. with Bluege dead, Peck crashed
q safety off Davis leg, galloped to
third on RueIs Texas League single
to center and scored while Zachary
was forcing Muddy. McManus all but
doubled up Zach on this play, but
his heave to SiSler was bad
Zachary limited the Browns to a
lone pass in the first three frames
but was mulcted for trio of tallies
In J,n
Williams socked for a homer with
two on board. Jez walked Evans at
the outset and wild-pitched him to
second. Sisler maintained his hitting
streak with a hot smash that Bluege
knocked down, but could not recover
in time to flag the runner. Evans
took third on this safety and scored
with his boss and Williams when the
latter waited one out of the park in
an easterly direction. Jacobson got
a superfluous safety later in the
round.
Sisler also figured prominently III
the run manufacturing by the Browns
in the fourth, his lusty double tt
left-center cashing Evans, who hac
walked, after Davis was passed ant
forced by Robertson, who dec

Evans Drives i'm Tally.
This former Griffman was on thu
producing end of the Browns fiftf
run in round seven. Gerber got lif'
by beating out a rap to Judge, du'
to Gregg's awkwardnesS in covering
first, and moved up on Davis sacri
fee On Robertson's tap to the DO:
Gerber was run down on the line

he sprinted home when Evans doubled
down the left-field line, Joey was LEI
when Sisler bounced to Gregg.
Williams nibliclled, or mashed, hi

seats in the eighth, the runways Of
this occasion being unoccupied.
Judge walked in this round an
took second on Bluege's single t
center before retiring to let McNeel,
run for him. Peck then hit into
double play and Earl was left at thir
when Ruel rolled to Gerber.
The champions threatened again i
the ninth after Leibold had bounde
for Gregg. Rice got life on Gerber
