frame, Covey raised a feeble pop But
the ball fell safely between Ruffing
and Todt when the Red Sox first sack
er lost ii In the sun. Ruifing retrieved
the sphere Immediately, but had to
wait for Wanninger To cover second
before heaying for a force out Of Ruel
That permitted Covey, vino had
stopped on the line to first TO make
that station.
Later in the fourth, with two gone,
there was more dizzy fielding by the
rex Sox that accounted for a National
fIarker. With two strikes against him
Speaker swung and looped the ball just
over the infield toward right It was
nigh enough for both Rothrock and
IQdt TO get under. But they let it drop
b@ween them, giving Iris a single
that registered Covey from second.
Harris, who had walked with two
gone in this round, also tried 10 score
on Speakers fiuke single. The pilot
darted by third base and when about
halfway q the counting block stopped
and watched RothrOck who was
clinging 10 the sphere Then Harris

In addition to yielding nine safeties
Ruffing lacked control. He granted
five passes. hit a batter and uncorked
a wild pitch that meant a marker
Delmar Lunderen, who followed
Ruffing for two frames also was wild

Rice sent long fly to Flagstead that
easily would have brought a runner In

In the third inning, however, the
Nationals crashed into the scoring
column. Harris singled and after
Speaker popped TO Wanninger one
baser was socked by Goslin. A single
past Todt by Judge filed the bases.

Harris was mainly concerned about
Covey's showing, however, and now
feels confident that his spitball
shooter IL in fine fettle. And Covey
feels so, too. During his first three
innings Yesterday not a Red SoN
drive passed the infield. He was
reached for only two blows. one in
the fourth round and the other ia
sixth. He granted three passes and
after two Of them, when mixed with
g. single in the sixth, gave The Red
SoX a run he retired
But Covey left the scene only be-
cause he felt tired as a result Of
the great amount of warming up he
had done during the four days before.
He declared his arm in fine shape
again and believes that after three
or four DAYS OF rest he will be able
to come back for the full route.
After Coyey left Fred Marberry
did the pitching and gave up feur
hits in three innings. Three Of these
blows were punched in the last Red
Sox round when Narberry appar-
emily eased in his efforts and they
meant runs. But the relief hurler
was able To pun himself together and
check the rally summarily.
