In sharp contrast to the perfor-
mances of the Card pitchers were
those of Horace Lisenbee and Deca-
tur Jones. Lisenbee was reached for
five safetieS and gave up three passes
in the first three of the four frames
he hurled. That was good for three
runs. Jones issued three passes in
the first inning he pitched without be-
ing scored against, but in the next
frame he mixed pass with four hits
and with an error by Ossie Bluege
thrown in the Cards grabbed five
tallies.

Fred Marberry then came along for
two innings and escaped with only a
hit and a pass being charged against
him.
There was little pepper in the play
OF the Harrismen and they looked
none too good afield. While only one
error was charged against them, they
rarely were able to handle the sphere
cleanly and several times missed
double play chances that might have
checked scoring.
The Nationals had but two fair
chances to do any scoring at Alexan-
der's expense. Sam Rice opened the
left field. He had to cling to the mid
die station, though, when Stewart
grounded to the pitcher. Spokes
roller to Frisch moved Sam to the
far corner, but Goslin's best was an
easy chance for the Card second
sacker.
Rice also began the sixth session
with single and gave way to pinch
runner Cullop. Stewart rified a single
to right and Cullop tried to make
third base, but was tagged at that
station by Holm'S fine throw to Bell.

Cards Get to Lisenbee.
F'risch's single, a high bounder to
short that came with two down, was
all the cards CLEANED off Lisenbee in
the opening round, but they crashed
into the scoring column in the second.
Bell walked as a starter and pulled UP
at second when Hafey looped hit to
left. After Snyder sacrificed, Theve-
now dropped a single at Speakers feet
in short center, and Bell and Hafey
counted. Alexander and Douthit drew
passes, crowding the bases. Theve-
now raced to the plate when Goslin
bagged Southworth'S hoist, but the
cushions were filed again when Frisch
poked a single to left. Bottomley
ninth batter up in the frame, got to
three and two count, then obligingly
popped to Stewart.
Lisenbee's control was better in the
third frame, and Hafey's single was
all the Cards got. In the fourth the
young fellow from Birmingham was in
really fine fettle and bowled over the
opposition in order, throwing a third
strike past Dovthit.
