first by the RUDE.

Reeves went to three-and.two

of the plate by a couple of yards, but

Nationals were ahead. There the

but National marker was chahed up
in each. of the rounds. Rice started
his clubs sixth batting turn with
drive to right and with a fash of
speed made it two.bagger. The AS
protested loud and long that Cobb's
throw had beaten Sam to second, but
they could not make Umpire Bill
Dinneen believe it, When Boley
grabbed Harris roller and chueked
poorly to Dykes, Ricee got home. The
error let Bucky make second, but

Goslin when a hit-and-run stunt went
awry.
Two More Grit Tallies.
Another Mack error was committed
in the seventh, but it had nothing
to do with the Nationals scoring in
the frame. Judge opened the attack
then with a two-bagger to left-center
and raced home as Ruel slashel a
single to right. Muddy, turning first
widely, drew throw from Cobb.
The runner darted toward second and
got there safely when Dykes made
a poor relay to Boley. Ruel advanced
to third after Lamar took Bluege's
hoist, only to be run down when
Reeves grounded to Hale. Bob, who
got to the far corner during the chase,
watched Walberg toss out Burke.
Two singles were made off Burke in
the eight when the AS got their
second marker of the day. Boley be-
gan the session with a hit to left and
Galloway. clubbing in place of Wal

territory. 'Boley got to second only
on the blow, but pinch.batter Foxx's
retirement advanced both runners.
Lamar's long fly to Rice accounted
for Boley's crossing with the final
run of the fray.
