The clash yesterday was almost a
repetition of the second part of the
double header Wednesday. AS they
had done the day before, the Ma
tionals yesterday jumped into a
healthy lead at the outset only to
have the Tigers match 1t at the
halfway point. But yesterday the
Champs did not wait as long to step
out again as they had done the day
before. Instead they staged one of
their run-making orgies in the fifth
and clinched the contest.
Every National in the lineup ex-
cept Danny Taylor contributed to the
hit total made at the expense OF
George Dauss and Holloway. Five
safeties and pass were cleaned on
Dauss before the second out was
made in the initial inning That
Melted FIVE runs. Holloway, who re-
lieved, did well until the fifth when
the Nationals mixed seven swats
by this hurler for eight markers.
They raised their hit total for the
game to IS with a0other safety on

Smith pitched for the Tigers In the
eighth. and gave up nothing.
Ruether Goes Route.
Dutch Ruether went the route for
the Nationals, but staggered through
the middle part of the game. FROM
the fourth through the sixth inning
the Tigers got half of the IA hits they
made during the afternoon and in the
first two of these frames accumulated
enough tallies to tie the Champs.
Three more of the hits came in the
ninth when the Cobbmen scored three
times. This ninth-inning tallying by
the visitors appeared to be due mainly
to a general let-doWn by the locals
and was not particularly pleasing to
the fans. ~
Dauss got a good drubbing without
any delay. McNeely started the Ma
tionals' first with double down the
leftfield line and Boss Bucky sacri-
feed. Earl scored when Rice beat out
bounder to deep short. Myer singled
Sam to third and Moon Harris strolled
TO crowd the cushions. Judges single
peg to the plate tailed Rice and Myer,
while Moon made third and Judge sec
ond. Bluege singled his two mates
home and Dauss out of the game.
In the fourth the Tigers got run
back. Heilmann singled and Gehr-
niger walked. After Tavener sacr1-
feed, Heilmann scored as WoodaH was
thrown out Ruethers wildness paved
the way to the Tiger scoring in the
fifth that deadlocked the game. Blue
and O'Rourke were passed and Man
ushs single counted Blue, Fotherg1ll
singled O'Rourke to the plate and
after Heilmann was thrown out
Gehringer singled Manush and Foth-
ergill home.
Run Orgy in Fifth.
Then the Nationals made it a field
day for themselves in the last half or
the fifth. Stan Harris, first up, drew
a. pass. Rice'S scratch single and
Myers. bunt filled the bases. Moon
Harris, with double, emptied them OF
all but himself Judge fouled to Blue,
but Bluege's stroll and Ruefs infield
single loaded the sacks once more.
Ruether poled a. single to center to
tally Moon and OSsie and put Muddy
at the middle bag. McNeely singled
t1uGl 10 pletlCp IAlCIL DOoo DANtNS
got a bunt single that damned the
cushions for the third time in the
round. Rice's walk forced Ruether
across the plate and McNeely tailed
with the eighth run of the inning after
Fothergill caught Myers loft.
A sixth Tiger tally was hung up in
the sixth when Hayworth singled, took
third as Holloway doubled and got
home as Myer grabbed Blues grounder
and threw to get Holloway trying to
take third. Erratic fielding by the
Nationals helped the Cobbmen to get
their three markers in the ninth
Manush doubled and took third ltnmo-
Tested. Fothergill famed. but Ruel
let the third strike go through and
Manush counted while the batter
made second.
Bueky Harris chucked past Judge
after taking Heilmanns roller and
Fothergill crossed while Harry
reached the midway point. Gehring-
er's single scored Heilmann. Hay
worth singled after Tavener fouled
out, but Wingo drilled into double
play to end the hectic round and
game.
