Three of these five hits were bunch
ed at the outset of the second inning
and netted the Tigers a couple of
runs. They got their third run in the
next round without a bingle, two
passes aiding materially.
Jones probably could have gone the
route. but Manager Stan Harris deem
ed it better to remove the youngster
after he had walked Bob Fothergill
and Gehringer had singled that Tiger
70 third in the eighth, although there
were two out at the time.
At that. Jones outclassed George
Dauss, the veteran, who started
against him. Dauss took 14-hit
pounding. an attack upon him in the
eighth sending the Nationals to the
front and the pitcher to the club
house with the inning but one-third
gone.
Fred Marbarry and Art John. the
latter a southpaw, were the relief
hurlers. 1t was the second time in
the matinee that the National pitcher
was called into action. Both of the
relief men did well.
First Game Pitching Duel.
The first game was a pitching duel
between Stan Coveleskie and lii
Stoner for six innings. Although
both hurlers were roughly treated
during that time. both were able to
tighten when danger threatened. In
the seventh. however. both fell.
Three of the nine hits off Stoner were
punched in the lucky round by the
Nationals for all their runs. Three of
the eleven hits the Tigers got off
Covey filled the bases in the seventh
and forced the spittballer to retire.
The Tigers, with a fielders choice,
put across a ruA after Marberry came
TO the hill. Then Fred settled until
the ninth when pass and a hit
meant another tally for Cobbs crew.
George Smith. who replaced .Stoner.
checked the Nationals for two frames.
There was a deal of wasted effort
In the first engagement. In the first
six Sessions the Nationals had
men on the bases, while the Tigers
had 12, but neither side could get
anywhere in that time.
In the fourth round two National
hits came after two were out and the
same thing occurred in the sixth. In
the latter inning Goslin was snuffed
out on the line when he foolishly
attempted to score from second on
Myers infield hit.
Double Plays Are Helpful.
Double plays helped keep the Tigers
from the plate. Blue opened the first
round with a single, only to be erased
with Manush a moment later. He'll,
mann started the second session with
a two-baggers But after Gehringer
popped to Moon Harris, Heilmann
was hit by O'Rourke's drive. Bassler
began the third with a double and
was doubled off second.
There were two Tiger singles after
two were out in the fourth. and two
Tiger walks after two were out 'r
the fifth Heilmann began the sixth
with a single and Gehringer sacri
feed, but when O'Rourke bounded to
Covey, Heilmann was run down on
the line between second and third
bases.
With men getting on the runways
often, however, it was only ques
ton Of time when runs would be reg
istered Both sides Tailed in the
seventh. Moon Harris started the
Nationals half with a triple to right
center. After Boss Bucky grounded
out, Stewart was sent in to run for
Moon. Bluege walked. but az Geh
ringer threw out Ruel. Stewart got
home. Covey singled Bluege to. the
plate and chalked up score himself
when McNeely tripled to right center
The Tigers came back with an at
