The Nationals also employed three
pitchers. Ad Liska, who started, couidnt

The Nationals were the first to crash
into the run column, registering tnree
tallies in the initial inning. West lined
a single to right and pulled up at second

Reds Go Into Lead.
In the third, the Cincinnati crowd
forged ahead when they socked Llska
soundly. May began the attack with
double to deep right and, after Crltz
foiled out, checked in at third Wnen
Swanson beat out slow one to Bluege.

KeIlv to reach the final base. Llska
then walked Walker, but the uprising
was ouelled as Pittenger drilled INTO
double killing.
Marberry was nicked for run by the
Reds in the fifth mainly because Gosim
wouldn't try throw after picking up
Purdy's bounding single to lett. Inere
were two out when Kelly doubled ana
Long George virtually romped to the
plate when Purdy hit.
A brace of errors figured in the max
ing of Cincinnati marker in the sixth:
The first came when Goslin kicked
Pittengers single and let the hitter get
an extra base. After Ford's grounoer
sent Pittenger to third came the Sec
ond error, letting the run across. Bluege
grabbed Sukeforth's bounder and heaved
to Tate, turning Pittenger back to
third. Benny, instead of attempting
short rundown, fired the ball past Myef
and Pittenger counted. Bluege recov-
cred the sphere in time to relay to
Hayes for a play on Sukeforth, trying
to make second on the wild chuck.
In the seventh, the Nationals came
within a run of a tie, three OF them
scoring after two were out. West had
a third strike called against him and
after Myer singled GoSlin watched a third
one breeze by. Barnes, though, drew
a pass from Donohue and Bluege drop
ped q single near the right field line.
The hit scored Myer and when Walker
booted the ball Barnes reached third
and the hitter second. A pass to Judge
crowded the sacks, then Hayes poled
single that accounted for two more
acres and moved Judge to third. Tates
best was a loft to the right field. Then
came the Nationals explosion in the
ninth.
A dandy double play helped Liska
in the opening session. Critz, first Red
up, slammed a two-baSer to the right
field corner, then Swanson poled a ter
rife drive to center. West went back
to the fence to pull down the liner
and whipped the ball to Myer ahead
of Critz, trying to move up after the
catch.
