ing the six sessions he toiled. They
enjoyed only a one-run advantage
though, until the sixth, when the
big Boston hurler faltered and
was found for four hits and two
passes that Melted them four
more markers. Ed Carroll, q
youngster, followed Morris and re-
tired the home boys in order for
two rounds.
That the first game went into an ex-

The Nationals gave their pitchers per-

was seen in the second. inning OF the
last encounter, when Sammy West made
q mighty heave to prevent q run and
complete double play. West took a
loft from Bill Narlesky in deep left
