Bucky Harris athletes had no H.
cense to triumph yesterday. IT'S true
that af1eld they performed like world
champions, turning in four double
plays, but at bat and in the pitching
box they were minus quantity.
Three bingles were all the Nationals
could CLEAN off the portside pitching
of Harold Wiltse. and they were spread
over as many innings. Wiltse did give
up six passes and hit a batter, but
the Nationals were unable to take
advantage of the openings.
Curly Ogden, right handler. and the
Cuban southpaw, Emilio Palmero,
were on the hill for the Harrismen.
Curly started and took a sound pun

were made off him. while he franked
TWO men TO first and hit two others.
Curly took about everything the Red
Sox could give him. especially in the
fifth frame. when they unleashed a
five-clout attack that put the game in
the bag for them. What Palmero did
afterward did not matter. Some fast
fielding got him out of trouble in the
seventh and more snappy support
saved him from severe punishment in
the eighth. when he was reached for
q trio of blows.
