catch and with a fine throw home
forced Bengough to turn back to the
far corner. Robertson drew a frank
to first to crowd the stations, but
Cronin picked up Gehrig's grounder
and stepped on second before Robert
son reached the base.
Another Washington run was manu-
featured in the fourth from Cronin' S
stroll, Browns single that sent Joe to
third and Judges force-out Of Lloyd.
In the latter part of this round, though,
the Yanks forged to the front. Ruth
walked as starter. Then Lazzeri
hit low bounder over second. Cronin
got in front of the ball and 1t seemed
double play was at hand.
All Joe did, however, was cuff down
the sphere, so LaZZeri got a cheap hit
and there were two instead of none
on. Meusel's double sent the Babe
over and Bengough's single tailed
Tony and Meusel-putting the Ma
two batters out. but Combs singled
Robertson doubled. Gehrig hit a two
Dagger, the Yanks got two more runs
and Burke took Browns place.
Ruth, up for the second time in the
inning. brought the uprising to an
end by rolling to Myer.
The YankS picked up two more runs
in the seventh. Lazzeri's single
Meusels double and a fielder's choice
accounted for one. Cronin's tumble of
DurocAer's grounder let the other
across.
Boss triple gave the Nationals a brace
of markers in the eighth. 1t came after
two were out and tailed Bluege and
Cronin, who had singled at the outset
of the round. Then came Liska s
joke eighth inning to end the scoring
in a game terrible in every way. so
far as the Nationals were concerned.
In the first game of the day the
Yankees were off to a flying start and
score substantially. while the Nationals
were able only to match the count
made by their hosts in the opening
round.
Higgins henchmen outhit JohnSon's
charges, IS Safeties to 10. Neither
Fred Marberry nor George Pipgras,
starting pitchers. lasted.
Marberry left after being bombarded
for four hits and as many runs In the
opening session. Garland Braxton, who
followed, was lifted after the first two
for singles. He had yielded seven
safeties and three runs before. Ad
Liska, who finished, allowed only q
sacrifice loft that scored one of the
runners Braxton left.
Pipgras stuck until the sixth, when
three-hit assault finished him before
the second out of the round came.
The left-hander Fred Heimach, who
succeeded. allowed only one single.
Had Buddy Myer hustled to second
base when a double play was in sight
in the Yanks' first inning probably
not more than one run would have
been made off Marberry at the time
AS 1t was. Cronin had no one at
second to hand the ball after getting
LazzeriS grounder and had to be
content with one out that followed a
heave to Judge. This left the Yanks
with a run over. two out and two on.
Meusel's walk filled the bases and
Dickey's double, the first of the three
hits he made in a row. Melted three
more runs for the New Workers.
The Nationals got two of these tai
lies back in the second inning. but the
Yanks picked up a marker with three
hits in the fifth. After homer
driven into the lower left field stand
by Cronin, Braxton's double and
Judges single gave the Nationals two
more runs and chased Pipgras in the
sixth. The Yanks came right back to
hammer Braxton for two scores, q
single by Dickey, Durocher's triple.
