succumbed on strikes.

the play, a single that scored Wright

The seventh inning. generally ac-

prevails. proved just that for the Nat
ionals, and enhanced Stan Harris fame
for ma nagerial acumen. The youthful
pilot directed Memo Liebold utility
outfielder, to bat for Ferguson. not
through any dissatisfaction with the
latters pitching efforts, but to start
something in an attacking way.
Liebold promptly gave evidence of
why he is adjudged one of the hardest
men in the game to pitch to, by coax
