The Nationals were not through for
the inning, though, and Fuhr. who
followed Ferguson, quickly found that
out. Roger Peckinpaugh greeted the
newcomer with a single that moved
Bluege to third base, and Oswald got
home after Vache bagged Ruel's long
fly.
The next inning saw the Nationals
on the Warpath again. Earl NIcNeely,
who replaced Leibold in the lineup
after the Red Sox sent a southpaw to
the slab. began the round with a dou-
bic to right field. Harris sacrificed
and Rice singled McNeely home. Cos
lin. by some smart spriting. made a
two-bagger of a drive TO center that
at first appeared to be long enough
for a single only. Rice stopped at
third on the hit.
Out went Fuhr and in came Fuller
ton and almost Immediately there fol-
lowed the most spectacular play of the
game. The new pitcher was very de-
liberate in his windup and after Rice
had swatched a lot of motion wasted
in two throws he set sail for the
plate, while Curtis was preparing to
make the third one. At the same time
Goslin broke for third base. Both run
ners easily made their detectives safe
ly. and when Val Picinich failed to
hold Fullentorn's heave, the Goose fol-
lowed Rice home.
Fullerton Quickly Steadies
The dual theft so fiurried Fullerton
that after he had disposed of Shirley,
he passed Bluege, who promptly pill
fered second base. from where he
counted with the Nationals final run
as Peck singled, but Fullerton quickly
steadied and from then on was un-
usually stingy.
The Red Sox were completely baff1ed
by Johnson until after Fullerton was
retired in the sixth, then three hits in
a row, two of them doubles by Ira
Flagstead and Ike Boone, netted two

Here are the batting figures
credited to Joe Harris, newest ad-
ditiOn to the world champions,

1917 with Cleveland. Harris suf-
fered an injury in 1919 and was out
of base ball during the seasons of
1920 and 1921.

A deal calculated to add greatly to
the strength of the Washington ball
club was made today by which Joe
Harris. smuggling outflelder and first
baseman of the Boston Red SOx, was

phone by President Clark Griffith of
