take a chance against Shaner.
OF course, the passing Of Myer was
an easy matter for Marberry. But
it was just as easy for him to walk
Shaner and Hofmann without orders,
and the Red SoX were two runs to
the good. Marberry also walked as
Holman did, leaving crowded bases
to Burke. The youngster pitched
only to Ruffing to end the wild round,
the Hub hurler rolling harmlessly to
Reeves.
Error by Myer Costly.
That Red Sox advantage was more
than offset by the Nationals in the
eighth, and an error by Myer told
heavily against the home club. One
was out when Bluege walked and
Reeves singled. Harriss relieved
Ruffing, and West, hitting in Burke's
place, raped q one-baser to right to
score Bluege and move Reeves to
third. With a run-killing play at the
plate in sight, Myer booted McNeely's
bounder, letting Reeves get in with
the tying run and Stewart, who
legged for West, taking second.
Staffy and Earl effected dual theft
before Harris famed, and both tailed
as Speaker singled.
Against Braxton in the eighth the
Red Sox scored once. Tobin knocked
