came from the hat of Miuter Hayes,
recruit given chance at hat for the
first time since he became a National.
The former University OF Alabama
boy, who came TO the big league by
way of Birmingham, was used as
pinch-runner in the game here on
August 5. but yesterday he was sub
stituted for Ossie Bluege at third base
after the sixth inning. His one bat
ting opportunity came in the eighth
after one was out. Hayes lined the
ball to left field for an honest hit, al
though Carl Reynolds, rookie garden.
er of the ChisoX, narrowly missed
making a circus catch of the drive.
Afield Hayes had three chances and
did we'll with each. Right off the reel
in the seventh session Bud Clancy put
down bunt toward third base. Hayes
came UP like "A flash. pounced on the
bail and whipped it to Joe Judge for
a decision against the White SoX first
sacker. In the eighth inning Hayes
scooped up Bill Barrett's Grounder
and easily tagged his man at first.
In the ninth the recruit took throw
from Benny Tate and ended the
round by deftly tagging out Reynolds,
who was attempting a dual theft with
Clancy as Buck Grouse famed. Hayes
met the issue squarely in getting
REYNOLDS, appearing not in the least
spike shy.
Lyons Battles Griffs.
All told, but six Nationals got on
the runway. and but one of them ad-
vanced as far as second base. n
tumble by Aaron Ward gave Goose
Goslin a life at the outset of the
second inning, but the Goose i'm

Judge, and Joe was shared in a
double play with Tate. Ossie Bluege
got a very scratchy single at the
beginning of the third inning when
his slow tap to short was juggled by
Ray Flaskamper before the latter
threw to tho initial sack too late.
Ossie was caught with Bob Reeves in
a two-plx killing.
Reeves singled with one out in the
sixth, the hit being a hard bounder
that Ward knocked down. Then
Eddie Onslow, batting for Fred Mar
berry, drew Lyons lone pass of the
game. But the next two National
batters could not shove their team
mates along. Hayes was the last of
his club to reach first safely.
Both sides employed reserves dur
ing the fray. Buddy Dear, lately re-
turned to the Nationals from the
minors. got a shot at second base
after the sixth session. He had no
chance afield. and in his one batting
just failed to reach first
safely after topping a ball in front of
the plate. Washington fans got their
first glimpse this season of Johnny
Mostil who went to center field for
the ChisoX in the eighth inning.
They also saw for the first time Bob
Battle, an infielder the Chicago club
has recalled from Little Rock. He
took Willie Kamm's place at third
base for the ninth inning,
Msrberry No Puzzle.
The White Sox again found it
rather easy to topple the Nationals.
They slapped the offerings of Mar
berry. who started on the hill for the
home club, for ten safeties. Fred
also gave up three free tickets to
first base and hit a batter. To make
matters worse, Reeves kicked in
with three errors during the six
innings Marberry worked.
Clancy's triple and Crouse's sacri- |
ice started the visitors on their win |
mig way in the second frame and in
the third they got three more tallies
with two hits, one of Reeves errors
and Barrett's theft of home They
ended their scoring with a four-run
sixth inning when the first five men
up singled off Marbery and Reeves
made two misplays.
Garland Braxton did the hurling
against the White Sox in the last
three innings and all he allowed
were two hits and one pass. He
pitched four strikeouts, tanning Ward
