CONTEST AT START
First Three Innings Net s
Runs OFF Wild Zachary and
Marberry.
BY JOHN r. KELLER.

TT seems the Nationals simply can't
stand prosperity. Immediately after
Shattering a losing streak that had
i grown to four games, they turned
right around yesterday and did an
other flop. Their latest defeat was
handed them by the White SoX, showing
here for the first time this season, the
count being to 6.
The trouncing left the Clan Harris
but half a game ahead of the seventh
place Red SoX and two games ahead OF
the last-place White Sox, who are
scheduled to play three more times here.
The cellar will get the Nationals II
they don't watch out.
AS has been the case so often lately,
the local aggregation was beaten off
early in the fray. Between them,
Pitchers Tom Zachary and Fred Mar
berry yielded the White Sox eight
earned runs in the first three frames,
Then Bob Burke came on to Southpaw
his way through six frames and the
White Sox got but one more run and
that unearned.
The Nationals faced Alphonse Thomas,
right-hander, all the way. Of Thomas
they got 10 hits, less than the trio of
local hurlers gave up during the pastim-
ing, but the Nationals 10 hits were good
for II bases, while the visitors dozen
safeties netted but IA sacks. Four times
the Harris horde had Thomas rocking
on the hill and twice 1t seemed that an
other good wallop would eliminate him.
Manager Ray Schalk had several
pitchers working feverishly in the bull
pen readying to supplant Al. but the
latter always managed to check rally
when 1t seemed he was doomed to ex-
tinction.
Chisox Use Passes Well.
While Thomas was soundly socked,
It must be said of him that his control
was good. He granted but one pass and
that did him no harm. The generous
Zach and the big g-hearted Marberry,
however, walked five ChisoX. Zach
passed three batters and all completed
the circuit OF the runway. One OF
Marberry's two franks was good for
marker.
It appears that these days the proper
thing for the Nationals TO do Is have
one pitcher on the hill and another In
the bullpen at the outset OF hosttlities.
Zach started brilliantly by tanning the
FIRST batter TO face him. but during the
remainder of the opening inning he
was deluged by hits. Four singles
backed a pass and considerable dam
age TO the Nationals cause resulted.
After getting through the second round
successfully. Zach lost all. idea OF the
plates location and IN round three the
visitors had sandwiched a double be-
tween two passes before Zach knew
what was going on.
Manager Stanley Harris then sensed
the danger Of keeping the veteran
southpaw at work. however, and re.
placed him with Marberry. Fred had

to the mound and before the inning
ended he gave up two passes and two
hits that did much 70 make the Chisox
total for the round five runs. Then
Burke was called on at the outset o!
