Boston Fans Must Wait.

President Bob Quinn and his associ-
ates have made earnest efforts to give
Boston winner. but in view of the
returns to date it appears the hopes
Of New England fans must again be
deferred
Aided to some extent by Boston's
shortcomings afield, the Nationals yes
erday attained a third straight victory
for the first timo this season when
they captured the final OF the series
from the Sox by a count Of to .
Harold Wiltse, southpaw obtained
from Mobile, was their victim.
To give his regulars an extra day
of rest for the series due to open in
New York today, and because he had
faith in Odgen's ability to pitch win
ming boil, Pilot Harris sent Curly
to the hill and was rewarded by seeing
his confidence justified. Ogden was
Inclined to unsteadiness. but was ef-
fective in every round except the
eighth, and then went on to finish
strong. Although he did no hitting
SEVERED performed acceptably back
of the bat, and with all save Joe Harris

role supposed to be his forte was over

BuckY starts the scoring.
The Griffmen lost no time getting
down to the business at hand, Stan
Harris getting a. circuit clout Oft
Wiltse right at the outset of hostil-
ities. Bucky's first homer of the sea-
son was a long clout directly between
F1agstead and Carlyle that carried to
the angle in right center, and the pilot
demonstrated speed enough to finish

4 hearty rap down the left field line
by Bluege that netted two bases paved
the way for another run in the second.
Bluege moved up when Myer beat out
a. bunt to CASTOR in front Of the plate,
and he Tailed while SEVERED was fore
ing Myer. A double play would have
been effected here had Herrera not
thrown poorl TO Todt i'll pivoting, and
it look for a time as IL this technical
error might prove costly, for after
ogden hit into a force play. Rice dou-
bled to right center. the ball taking
a high hop over Flagstead's head.
Ogden footed it for ali he was worth
and finished with q desperate leap
plateward, but found the ball awaiting
him via the 1agstead-Herrera-Ga
route.
Chase Wiltse to Showers.
Varying their procedure, the Cham
pions hung up a trio of tallies i'll the
third and sent Wiltse on his way in
The process. Rigney's tumble of Stan
Harris roller proved the entering
wedge. After Goslin sacrificed, Joe
Harris walked and tailed with his boss
when Judge rifled q. double down the
left field chalk mark. and the latter
counted when Bluege lined triple
against the concrete barrier in left
center. Whites vanished at this point
and Kiefer proceeded to apply brakes

Without doing any notable damage

scoring distance on several occasions,

In the opener Carlyle hit into q

vanced on Todt's single to center and
was left with Phil by Rosenthal. Rig

vanced on a. passed ball after Herrera
popped in attempting to bunt, where
ripon CASTOR and Wiltse succumbed
easily.
Haney was stranded at the midway
following his walk and theft with one
gone in the third. when Carlyle lined

Kiefer's Double Is Wasted.
Kiefer was marooned following his
double to start the fifth. and success
sive intied singles by TOdt and Rosen
thai to open the sixth led to nothing
S the next three SoX were retired in
order, while F'lagstead's walk in the
seventh was nullified when Haney
drilled into q double play.
1t was not until the eighth that the
Hosemen contrived to break into the
run column. Then Carlyle shot stiff
single over second base and completed
the circuit when Todt rammed triple
to left center, the latter then scoring
while Ogden was tossing out Rosen

The only jam Kiefer got into after
he started work in round three was II
the eighth, when Bluege's infield
bingle and Carlyle's muff of Myers
fy put Griffs on third and first. but
this threat was ended when SEVERED
hit into a tWo-ply demise.
