Evening star., 1925-08-09


the Browns showed against Zachs S
For Zach. the victory was sweet
revenge. Last month he was opposed
by Castor in st. Louis and the latter
triumphed after a grueling struggle
when George SiSler lifted homer into
the short right-field stand in the ninth
inning. Then the Nationals got but
six hits off CASTOR over the entire
route. Yesterday they never gave
him an opportunity to get his bear
ings. Then Zach was knocked nine
times for 30 bases. Yesterday the
Browns seven hits totaled but eight
bases.
Zach's Control Perfect.
Perhaps the finest thing about
Zach's pitching, though, was his ex-
cellent control. Not a base on balls
was issued to a Mound City repre-
sentative and not once was Zach
troubled with wildness. He went
about his job in busineSs-like manner,
especially with men on bases, and
never was in great danger of being
scored against.
Four times the Browns began an
inning with a hit. but none of those
hitters passed first base. Only two
Browns skipped by that station. In
the fifth frame. Biuege made wild
chuck after fielding Bill Jacobson
single, enabling Jake to rumble to
third base and in the ninth with two
out, George Sisler slammed a double
and was left at the middle station.
Zach simply was too good for the
Browns.
The Browns opened fire lightly, with
Harry Rice scratching a single to
Pecks territory, but it did not mean
anything. Bobby Lamotte hoisted to
Earl McNeely, and Manager Sisler
grounded to Boss Bucky to start a
double play.
Castor, though, was greeted warm
ly. After McNeely was erased Buck
Harris looped a single TO right neid
and pulled up at second base when
Sam Rice beat out a slow hopper to
McManus. Goslin grounded to La
motto, forcing out Sam; but moment
later he and Harris, who had moved
to third on the force play, negotiated
q double steal, with the manager dust
ing across the plate well In advance
of Lamotte's return of Dixon's heave
TO the middle station.
Joe Judge then drew pass and
went home behind the Goose when
Ossie Bluege shot a double between
the hit was good enough for a triple,
but some fast st. Louis fielding made
him realize otherwise.
Champs Register Again.
After the Browns took the count in
quick style in their part of the sec
ond. the Champions got another run.
Peck started it with single past Rob
ertson and went to third when Hank
! SEVERED poled a one-baser to right.
Rajah held to that cushion as Zach
forced out Hank, CASTOR to McManus,
but scampered home when McNeely
forced out Zach the same way Har-
riS' single to right moved Earl for
ward peg, but Lamotte bagged Sam
Rice's pop.
Dixon started the Browns third
round with a single to Goslin's terri
tory, only to be forced out by Robert
son, and Bluege made a sensational
one-hand stop of Gaston's hot grounder
TO start a two-ply killing The Griffs
wasted a couple of sWats in their
portion of this frame. With Goslin
gone, Judge singled to left, but was
erased at second when Bluege ground
ed to Robertson. Peck's one-baser to
the center field put OSsie on the
middle sack and brought Vangilder
10 the hill Then Rajah was nipped
at second when SEVERED rolled to
Lamotte.
Earl Cut Down Stealing.
Not a Brown got on the paths in
the fourth. but in the Griffs' section
of that inning McNeely walked after
Zach famed. Earl tried to swipe
second, but was cut down by Dixon's
heave to McManus. Harris strolled
and was stranded when Sam Rice
whitfield. Two bingles were recorded
by the Browns in the fifth, one by
Williams. preceding double play
that was initiated when Bluege
grabbed McManus' sizzIer.
Ossie also cut down Jacobson's
single back of the hot corner, but fol-
lowed with a hectic fling past Judge
that let Jake get to third. There
Jake remained. for Dixon popped to
Zachary. In the Nationals half of
the fifth. Judge, after forcing out
Goslin, who had singled, pilfered sec
ond only to watch the next two bat
ters loft to outfielders
The Browns were easy in the sixth
and so were the Champs, although
SEVERED opened the frame for the
latter with a bingle. Sisler made
tneat play on Zachary's bunt to get
Hank at second and following Nc
Neelys whiff, Harris forced out his
pitcher with a bounder to short
LdIllOllc uIoNS d Sl1lSlo lnIOuSD
Bluege to begin the Browns seventh,
but was forced out by Williams after
Sisler hoisted to McNeely and Nc
Manus lined to Goslin.
Seventh Brings One More.
The Champs, though, put across a
tally in their portion of the luck"
frame. Following Sam Rice's retire
ment Goslin crashed a two-ba gger
over Williams head and stole third
base before Judge strolled. Williams
caught Bleuge's loft. but too deep to
try to head off Goslin going to the
counting block.
With two gone in the eighth, the
Browns used a. couple of pinch bat
ters against Zach. Joe Evans slipped
single past Peck but Bush skied To
McNeely
Earl was the last Griff to get on the
runway, drawing a pass with two out
in the latter part of the eighth, but
he was forced out by his boss.
Sisler got. the last swat off Zach, a
'tdouble, after two were out in the
ninth, then Williams concluded hos
tilities with a. roller to Judge.
