Manager George sisler used a for
mer National against the locals yes
terday, and he was likely to follow
Win Ballou with another ex.Washing-
ton pitcher today. Jez Zachary, who
with Ballou went to the Browns dur
ing the Winter in exchange for a pair
of players who failed to benefit the
Nationals, was mentioned by Sisler as
his possible pitching choice this after
noon. 1t will be recalled that Zach
took great pleasure in subduing the
Nationals in st. Louis during the
clubs disastrous tour last month.
Browns Deserved Victory.
There was no reason why the
Browns should not have won yester-
day. They took advantage Of loose
National fielding to get in front early
in the fray, and later socked the ball
savagely to break tie and pile up
more runs than the Nationals could
match. Five pitchers were used by
Harris. Dutch Ruether started, and
Emo Palmero finishing. Bill Nor.

worked between this pair, and 1t was
Morrel1 who put the potential tallies
on the runway in the decisive sixth.
Marberry was reached for the slam
that sent the pair Of Browns home.
