Thomas Battles Griffnen.
Whenever an American League
hurler stages an impressive perform
ence this season 1t seems he waits
until he is pitted against the Harris
men TO cut loose with all the pitching
mower he possesses. SeVerat tunes
during the present campaign the hoiu-

All they could Get off this mounds

Orioles in the International League
last wear. were two hits. one cream
liner and the other hunt. 1he Tor
mer Baltimore pitcher issued nut one
ness and struck out six batters. In
all but six balls We're knocked beyond
the infield by the Nationals.
ONLY % hatters faced Thomas and
only three of them got on base. Ossle
Rluege drew a pass after two were
out in the second round. He tried to
steal while Thomas held the ball ana
was run down. Morehart and SheelE
combining with the pitcher to make
the retirement.
Real Bingle for Peck.
Roger Peckinpaugh opened the third
frame with line single to left and
pilfered second while Muddy Ruel was
at hat, but got no farther. Johnny
Tobin began the eighth inning ny
beating out A bunt to Kamm. Johln
never advanced beyond first base.
That was all.
Here's what happened to the Ma
tionals in their other batting turns:
Judge famed at the start Harris
lofted to Falk in left and Rice l1fteo
a low foul to KamIn. In the second
inning. before Bluege walked Goslin
popped to Hunnefield at short and
Tobin flied to Barrett in short right
Ruel famed rs Peck stole in the
third. Ruether fouled to kamm ana
Judge watched a third strike go by.
Kamm tossed out Buckv Harris at
the outset of the fourth. Morehart
took good care of the next two bat
ters. Thomas fielded Tobin's bunt re-
markably well and threw out the bat
ter at the beginning of the fifth STAN
"a Kamm heaved out Bluege, but
good running catch by Mostil was
needed to eliminate Peck.
Sixth Is Brief for Champs.
The sixth was a short round for
the Champs. Ruel popped to Hume
field Ruether famed vigorously and
Judge hoisted to Morehart back of
first base. Boss Bucky famed at the
outset of the seventh. Morehart
threw out Rice, while Barrett made
spa rkling catch to retire GoSlin.

the eighth Bluege and Peck popped
to Hunnetield and a third strike was
called against Rue. Euether fouled
10 Kamm at the start of the ninth.
Judge lined to Falk and Harris rolled
to Hunnefeld.
That was real pitching. much better
pitching than Dutch Ruether did for
the Nationals, although Dutch pitched
a brand of base ball that ordinarily
would win. He allowed eight hits
and granted four passes, yet not a
pass actually figured in the scoring
and the SoX were able to cluster hits
in but one frame. the second, when
they put over two tallies.
Sox Bunch Three Hits.
Three singles did the work then,
the run-making single coming, When
the bases were filled with two out.
The run made by the SoX in the
eighth was unearned. two errors being

Morehart had combed Dutch for

this scoring round the SoX got only
three one-base blows off the National
hurler until the eighth. Thomas,
Kamm and Morehart got these sin

In the eighth frame Sheely got on
first when his roller trickled through
Peck. It was the first error of the
season for the veteran shortfielder.
Falk tried to sacrifice, but only sue
