The Browns got l6 SaIetleS anu
3 passes off the National mound
trio while the Griffmen got Ii safeties
and passes off the combined
efforts of Ernie Wingnrrl, ELAN van
glider, Dixie Davis and Milton Gas
ton. There were three homers,
Ruether. Ossie Bluege and Ken WI
liams seeking them.
Bluege got his in the ninth when
there were two mates on the runway
and 1t finished the Browns for the
day.
The first National marker was
chalked up in the second round.
After Myer lofted to Williams Goslin
walked and Judge followed with a
single long enough to send the Goose
to third, but Harry Rice booted the
ball and Goslin continued to the
plate on the error.
Wingard Is Chased Early.
Winsard was chased to the show
el-s in the next frame when the
Champs got three tallies. Ruether
was out of the way when McNeely
singled. Earl took second as Harris
was heaved out and counted when
Sam Rice lifted a Texas Lacquer to
center. Myers one-baser moved Sam
to second only, but GOslin's single
down the right field line drove In q
couple of runs. After Judge walked
Vangtlder assembled the hill and
checked the rally.
Then the Browns opened an attack
that left them just a run shy or the
Nationals. Ruether easily disposed

In the third, but Vangilder surprising.
~ tripled to left. After Melillo walk
ed Harry Rice tfdpled to send his
two mates home and followed them
to the counting block when Sisler
singled.
Ruether with a homer poled into
the right field stand in the fourth
boosted the Nationals advantage to
two tallies, but in their batting half
of the round the Browns socked Dutch
to take the lead. Miller started the
five-hit onslaught with a double and,
after McManus popped to Harris,
scored as Hargrave singled to left.
Robertson singled Red to the far
corner and Vangilder got another
safety, this time a double, that sent
Hargrave home with the tying marker.
Robertson had to pull up at third,
but crossed after Goslin collared
Melillo's hoist.
There was more Brown scoring in
the fifth. Williams began it with a
drive that landed on top Of the right
field stand wall for q homer. Ruether
hit Miller and, following McManus'
loft to McNeely, Hargrave hit Ruether
for a single to put Bing at third.
Robertson's crash to right for a base
registered Miller.
Nationals Tie It Up.
After three fruitless innings, the
Nationals got busy In the eighth and
drove Vangilder from the slab by scor-
Ing three runs to tie the Browns. They
then hoped on Davis, Vangilder's
successor, for three more TALES in
that round. Sam Rice walked and
after Myer whitfield, took third when
Goslin singled through Sisler. Judge
singled Rice home and Bluege walked
to crowd the sacks. Tate's single to
left tailed Goslin, and Moon Harris,
who batted for Morrell, drew a pass
that forced Judge over with the tying
marker and Vangilder out OF the
game.
Nationals ahead. Dixie pinked Nc
Nelly on the arm, thereby pushing
Bluege across the plate. Then
Boss Bucky rified a single to left that
scored Tate and Stewart, pinch
runner for Moon Harris.
Some sloppy fielding by the
Champs, however. let the Browns
catch up in the second half Of the
round when Marberry started pitch
ing. Schang batted for Davis and
singled. Melillo's retirement put
Wally at second. Then Harry Rice
walked.
Sisler sent a measly roller toward
Bucky Harris, but with a side-retiring
double play in sight the pilot first
kicked the ball, then made such
poor throw to Judge that not an out
was negotiated.
Williams lined a single to left-cen-
ter and two runs crossed while Sisler
went to third. Miller's stroll filled
the bases for the second time in the
frame, then another error let the tying
run get home. McManus grounded
to Myer and toss to Harris forced
out Bing. but Judge failed to hold
Bucky's relay to complete two-ply
killing and Sisler was in with dead
