IL ming Tor b runs, the Nationals
this afternoon routed the Bir-
,mingham Barons in the second and
last of the games There between the
clubs. The big irhing in which Red
BaronS. again wapbped round tripper
a % deadlock md Walter Johnson'S
charges went on to IL to 2 victory.
Birmingham assumed the lead first
when Andy Moore, whose homer de-
Cided Fridays contest in favor of the
BaronS, again walloped around tripper
with teammate on the runway. This
hit was made of Adolph Liska, who
pitched the first six innings for the
Nationals. The BaronS made but four
|other hits, two off LiSka and two off
Bob Burke, who toiled through three
rounds.
: Birmingham employed four hurlers.
Bill Morrel, former National, started
and yielded but one safety in five in
ningS. Hilton was nicked for eleven
hits in one and two-thirdS frames.
Then Carlos Moore pitched through the
eighth inning, while Slim Stouten-
borough hurled in the ninth and allowed
one swat.
.; There were but three hard drives in
the first three innings, and two of them
ratified from Washington bats. In the
opening round GoSlin backed Weis
against the right field fence to drag
down liner and at the outset of the
second session the same Birmingham
fielder went far back to keep hit from
Barnes. The one solid smash made by
a Baron proved foul. 1t was hit by
Weis in round two. Goslin made a fine
running catch of this hoist.
Myers Safety Wasted.
:. Buddy Myer, was first to drive the
ball to safety. With one gone in the
fourth he lined one-baser to right.
Again GoSlin was checked by the rieet
WeiS who speared the Gooses drive in
deep right. Buddy Swiped second, but
1t meant nothing for Barnes best was a
feeble pop to the Birmingham middle
Sacker.
The next hitting was done in the fifth
and it neeted Birmingham a brace of
tallies. One was out of the way when
Cronin, who had just gone to ShortStop
for the Nationals. fouled Weis' slow
grounder. Along came Moore and he
socked the sphere to deep right. Barnes
galloped back for pickup, but the ball
bounced into the right field stand for a
homer. With two out, Cooper nicked
Liska for single. and the fleet Ban
croft was sent in to run for the catcher.
Alternately, swinging for Morrel, failed
TO aid the runner.
In their sixth batting turn the Ma
tionals dead-locked the game and after
two were out, too. West began the
rally when he got double with loft
to deep left center that Moore failed
to hold after long run. Then Myer
tailed Sammy with a vicious whack
down the left field line and good for
three bases. Goslin drove over the
tying marker with a two Dagger be-
tween the Birmingham left and center
fielders. The Goose languished on the
runway as Barnes grounded to the
pitcher.
A snappy double play, Judge to
Cronin to Judge. Snuffed the Barons in
the latter portion of the sixth. TheJ.
the Nationals INDUCED in a scoring
orgy and sailed the game.
Cronin Starts Something.
Cronin began the Washington seventh
by slapping single to center. Judges
one baser sent Cronin to the far cor
ner, from where he counted when
Stewart hooked single down the third
base line. Pickering messed Tate's
sacrificial tap and the sacks were
crowded. Here Rice swung for Liska
and poled a triple to the right field
corner, putting the Nationals four runs
to the good.
west got a single with grounder 70
Sturdy when the first sacker found no
one at the base to take throw. Rice
chung to third as this happened, but
tailed after Bennett caught Myers
long hoist. Goslin forced out West, but
Barnes smashed homer into center
and the sixth and seventh runs OF the
inning were registered. Cronin, up for
the second time in the round, singled
and crossed with the eighth run OF the
inning and the Nationals tenth OF the
game as Judge tripled.
That was enough for Hilton, SO
Moore was rushed to the hill. The up
rising was ended summarily when Stew
art grounded to the second sacker.
In the ninth the Nationals got to
Stoutenborough for two more mark
ers. Errors put Goslin and Cronin on
the runway, then Stewart doubled both
home. That was the finish.
