Thomas Yields Three Hits.
Lefty Thomas followed Joe ard was
found for three hits, two of them in
that damaging eighth inning. Bill
Clarkson, late of the Oklahoma
League, worked the sixth, seventh
and eighth frames for the Giants and
tried to throw the ball all around the
batters.
The Nationals got to the first two
opposing hurlers for nine hits. Bucky
Harris led the offensive with three
singles, two of them scratchy. Joe
Judge and Buddy Myer got two
safeties each.
A stroll put Bucky Harris on the
paths in tho first inning, but he died
1T the middle sack, as neither Rice
nor Goslin could get the ball out OF
the infield.
Fhe Giants threatened trouble in
their part of the first frame. After
rhe first two batters were retired,
Young raped a smart tWobagger to
left center, and Myer dug Meusel's
bounder into the ground. Then Long
George Kelly knocked a couple of
long drives that were barely foul be-
fore grounding sharply to Bluege after
getting a threeand-two count.
Griffs Tally In the Second.
In the second session. the Nationals
broke the ice. Judge opened the at
tack with a single by Groh and
promptly pilfered second. Bluege's
infield erasure moved Joe to the far
Myer tapped ball to Davies and beat
the pitchers throw to first. Ruel fol-
lowed with a one-baSer between Groh
and Jackson and Covey sacrificed, but
Jackson made a great stop and throw
to nip Tobin.
Another National marker splattered
across the plate in the third frame
after two men had been retired. Boss
Bucky, who had started the inning
with a single through the box. was
caught at second when Rice attempted
to sacrifice. Sam moved to third as
Davies tossed out Goslin and romped
home when Judge got his second
safety of the day, double to left field.
The Giants, hitless in the second and
third sessions, got back one of the
runs in the fourth inning, BushS first
on the hill With Young gone, Meusel
walked and took third when Kelly
singled to center. Tyson also singled
to Rice'S territory, counting Meusel
while Kelly pulled up at the Keystone
cushion. Gosin's sensational catch OF
Jackson's liner ended the rally.
Giants Tie 1t Up i'm Fifth.
In the fifth round the Giants knot
ted the count. Southworth, batting
for Davies. slammed a single through
the box and lost no time in stealing
second. Lindstrom also singledthrough
the box, but the agile Southworth was
held to third base. Bill tailed as
Groh drove into a two-ply killing, Boss
Bucky to Myer to Judge. Young
then proved an easy out.
Both clubs threatened to break the
deadlock in the sixth. The Nation
ais got two on, then after two were
retired, Tobin got a pass off Clark
son to load the bases. Bucky Harris,
though. forced out Myer with a hot
bounder to Groh. In the Giants
turn, Tyson slammed a triple over

a. scratch single with two out and
walked Thomas and Tobin to jam
the sacks. He got a three and-two
count with Bucky Harris before the
latter tapped a ball toward third
base and beat Hartley's hurried
throw to Kelly. That let Tate score
and left the cushions crowded, but
Rice forced out Bucky with a roller
TO Kelly.
