thrilling moments before the Macks
Neither side did any great amount
bf clubbing. The Athletics managed
10 collect five safeties, while the Ma
onals got one less. All of the clout-
nS was done against the starting
hurlers, johnson and Walberg. Four
kf the AS hits were singles and two
# those were intield scratches. Jimmy
Pool got two bases with a slam
against the right field barrier.
Griffs Make Hits Count.
The Nationals got three untainted
singles and Goose Goslin drove the
ball against the concrete sun parlor
wall back of left-center for a triple.
The Champions concentrated their
attack in three innings. and in each
pf them they tailed. The AS five
hits were spread through as many
rounds and only one of the bingles had
do with their scoring.
Each of the starting hurlers pinked
v.o batters and Walberg issued one
pas SIS, while two passes were charged
against johnson. Wildness was more
costly to Walter than his Mackian
rival and led to his removal. The
big Train did his hitting of opponents
lin one inning, the seventh, and he
billed the bases with two out by bruis-
ling Hale. Walter then proceeded TO
|heave three wide of the plate while
Max Bishop was up and that brought
h1arberry to the slab.
Fred completed the pass, although II

hough. he found the plate on swings
and a trio of walks resulted. Mixed
with some sacrifices, these netted the
.Nacks another tally and they had
potential runs on first and third bases
when Bucky Harris ended the fray
khv grabbing Mickey Cochrane's foul
loft.
Walberg was oozed out of the

scored.

Lamar got to the ball quickly and

Zdeavored to check Bluege at that sta
ton. But Ossie turned the sack just
about the time Chick Galloway caught
T.amar's return. Chick relayed to
Cochrane and Bluege spun around in
an effort to get back to the far cor
ner. He found Jimmy Dykes waiting
+ with the sphere when he arrived.
Goslin started the making Of the
Nationals last run when he opened
the sixth inning with his triple. The
Goose had to cling to third as Moon
popped to Bishop, but he sprinted
|homeward after Al Simmons captured
Judges hoist.
The AS hit johnson safely in each
! of the four frames following the first,
and three times started innings with
bingles. Simmons single at the out
set of the second was followed by
double play. Poole managed to reach

ming the third with a one-base knock
but after doubling to start the fifth,
Jimmy was unable to get away from
the middle sack. Dykes one-baser in
the fourth was made after two had
Oeen retired.
In the seventh, though, the visitors
broke into the scoring column. John
son hit Dykes, but Jimmy's stay on
the runway was brief, for after Walter
French popped to Peck the stocky
Mackman was forced out by Pool in q
|Judge-to-Peck play. Peck's return to
first was just too late for a two.ply
eFasure. Galloway beat out q slow
roller toward third, and when Johnson
hit Hale the bases were crowded.
JOhnsOn's Control Goes.
Plainly upset by that misfortune.
Walter proceeded to hurl three wide
ones to Bishop. In came Marberry
and his first two pitches to Max were
strikes. But Fred could not continue
the good work and completed the pass
to the Mack second-sacker. pushing
Pool over the counting block. Coch-
rane could do nothing to help the AS
cause, rolling to Bucky Harris.
Fred had the Macks at his mercy in
the eighth, but was. wobbly in the
ninth. French sfrolled to first and so
did Pool. Old Bill Wambsganss, sent
up to bat for Galloway, laid down a
eifty sacrifice. Cy Perkins was or
dered to take over Pate's batting turn
and he lofted to Earl ,McNeely, who
had gone to center field when Boss
