early round while Hadley was
checking the Tigers with regularity
| The Harris horde was rather fortu-
nate to get it's runs off it's arch
enemy, the left handed Earl White
Hill. Only one of three tallies regis
tered by the home crowd in it's third
inning was earned, even though four
| successive hits came then. Two
erratic throws by Lu Blue, Tiger
first sacker, paved the way to a brace
of the markers.
All told, the Nationals got but seven
safeties and one pass off Whitehill

side of their four-hit third round,
their three swats were spread over
as many innings. With the Tigers
bending every effort to overhaul the
Harris horde, Whitehill gave way to
Pinch batter Henie Manush at the
outset of the eighth so that Owen
Carroll got chance to hurl a hitless
round.
HaG.ey looked unbeatable in his first
four innings against the Bengals. All
they cleaned off him in that time was
pass to John Bassler in the third,
and John a bit later was shared in a
side-retiring double play. But the
first two Tigers up in the fifth hit
safely and only fast work behind Had
ley averted the scoring of more than
one run then. He issued another pass
in the sixth. gave up two more hits
after two were out in the seventh and
finally in the eighth yielded two hits

Two more hits that swelled the
Tiger total to eight and pass brought
filled bases in the ninth with only one
out. When Hadley hurled wide one

Judge Given the Air.
Seventeen Tigers and IL Nationals
broke into the game. Manager Mo.
riarty used four pinch hitters and two
pinch runners and had to send two re-
serves into his defensive lineup.
Braxton and Eddie Onslow were the
National extras in action, Onslow was
employed at first base after Joe Judge
kicked himself out of the game in the
seventh inning. Judge objected to a
decision by Umpire Billy Evans favor
ing Marty McManus and protested so
strenuously that his Punishment fol-
lowed.
One was out in the third inning
when Rice started the Nationals on
their run-making way with a triple.
Harris single sent Rice over. Bucky
attempted a delayed theft of second,
but never would have reached the
sack safely had not Blue made a poor
chuck after taking Whitehill's throw.
There followed a double by Speaker
to tally Harris.
Goslin sent terrific drive down the
first base line. Blue knocked the ball
down, but again heaved wildly to
Whitehill, who had come over to
cover first. AS the sphere rolled to-
ward the National dugout, Speaker
home. Goslin, having the
throw to the base beaten. was credited
with single. while Blue was charged
with an error for this throw that gave
Spoke the extra base.
The Tigers crashed into the scor.

opened the inning with a single, the
first hit of the game off Hadley. but
