Of Boston.
Irving Hadley is the pitcher picked
by Manager Stanley Harris TO go after
She needed victory Irving has beer
pitching in fine style lately, but his
team gave him little backing in an Of
fenSive Way in recent contests and he
finished on the under side In THEN
last two engagementS. however. the Ma
tionals have attacked sharply and APP
pear 10 be ready 10 give any of theiI
l1urlers a reasonable amount Of runs
Ken Holloway seems 10 be next In line
Of the Tiger slaMnen. although Man
ager George MorIarty has not been
employing his pitchers regularly during
the past few weeks
The Nationals were expected to enter
same order as they took the field yes
terday Manager Harris is convinced
that Red Barnes will make a capable
lead-osF batter and he will be continued
IN that position for a time. As a start
or, Barnes has reached first base
times IN 10 trips to the plate. Joe
Cronin also will continue at ShortStop,
The rookie from Kansas City played
well agniF4 in the field yesterday and
also hit twice and drew a pass in four
trials at bat.
Sam Jones was not 50 steady in the
early part of the fray yesterday. He
had 70 pitch himself out to most of
the hatters that faced him in the first
three innings and, although he issued
but enc pass during that time, the pass
was converted into 8 run and three
of the five hits the Tigers got over this
stretch we're clustered for another
marker After the Nationals had
walked to q tie in the fifth at Victor
Sarrell's expense and slugged their way
70 the front of the pitching of Elan
Vanfsiider however, the Tigers could
Go little against Sad Sam. Jack Tav-
ener did clout homer inside the field
IN the seventh 10 put his team within
a run of the home crowd, but IN the
latter part of this frame the Nationals
ssIted the game, so that the tally put
over by the visitors in the ninth meant
nothing.
The Nationals outllit the Tigers by
IL safeties to II. However. they also
outhit them 20 bases to Is, and in two
rounds buched their hits wonderfully
well. while the Tigers had 10 struggle
for all their TALES except that result
ing from TayenerS four-b aSer.
Wfngo's walk, Heilmann's single and
Wondall's sacrifice fly netted the visitors
a run in the second round and IN the
the third they got another with success

drive got by Barnes IN the seventh ses-
sion. Jack was at third as the ball

loved a fatter seventh. With Sam Rice
