was needed to bring in a run. Stuffy
Stewart was put on third to run for
Judge, and as Carl Reynolds grabbed
Benny Tate's hoist to left. Stuffy dug
for home. Reynolds throw toward
the big base was late and poor and 1t
seemed the game was over. The Wash
ington players rushed to their dressing
room, Umpire Bill MCGOWAN left his
post behind the plate and the crowd
swarmed on the field.
Only George Hildebrand, umpiring
at third base, stuck 10 his post. At
the time, only he realized that Stew
art had left the base before the ball
was caught by Reynolds. But it did
not take long for the White Sox to
know what had happened. A fan had
picked up the bali Reynolds had
thrown in, but Willie Kamm grabbed
the sphere from the fans hands, ran
toward third and handed it to Ray
Flaskamper, who stepped on the base.
That made two Nationals out with
none on base and none at hand to
resume the game.
But the players were hustled from
the dressing room to the field and
the game was won in surprisingly
short order. Ossie Bluege slammed a
two Dagger to left center, then Jack
HAYES, youngster who has been do
ing so we'll at short and at bat since
he broke into the lineup, ssocked a
single to the same territory and the
game really was ended.
Late Rallies Tie Game.
The Nationals had deadlocked the
contest with rallies in the eighth and
ninth. With one gone in the eighth.
Goose Goslin was hit by IL pitched
ball. and successive singles by Judge
and Tate put the Goose across with
the first home club run of the game.
In the ninth, Hayes singled as a
starter and Muddy Ruel, up in John
sons place, walked. In came Lyons
to Faber's relief. Ted got rid of Sam
Rice, but Bucky Harris, with a three
count, singled Hayes home,
while Buddy Dear, running for Ruel,
pulled up at the middle station. iris
Speaker bounced a single over Aaron
Wards head to tally Dear, and Goslin
with a double to right chased in two
runs to tie the game.
Most of the White Sox scoring had
been done early in the fray. Flas-.
hamper opened the game with a dou-
BILE off Zachary and tailed when
kamm singled. After one was out,
in the third frame, kamm doubled
and crossed the counting block when
Johnny Mostil singled. Goslin's tumble
Of the one-baser let Mostil take second.
Alex Metzler's single moved Johnny to
third only, but the hitter raced to
second as the ball was returned and
scored with Johnny when Reynolds
slammed a hit to right.
1t was wild chuck by Hayes that
let Faber score in the seventh inning.
Red had doubled before Flaskamper
fouled to Tate. Kamm sent a roller to
the shortstop, but Hayes, trying for
4 play at third, threw by Bluege, and
Faber got home.
