and Fothergill two. both doubles. But
the hits were spread over six innings,
and only when they clustered blows
were the Tigers able to count, 1or tne
pitchers support was f1awless.
THE Nationals used 10 players during

score Buddy Myer, though, was the

a nerfect day. The homer was drive

sixth inning. when there were Two

the plate four times, and was creolted
with driving seven runs over-a rear

oddly. the scoring in the first two In
nines was so distributed that each
player in the lineup at the time nao
dented the counting block.
Game Starts Briskly.
The game started briskly. each side
r,,tting a run across in the first in
ming. In the Tigers half two were out
when Gehringer slammed a triple
against the scoreboard back of right
center. Fothergill followed with two
Dagger to the wall of the open stand
bordering left field to shove the tally
over.
More work was done by the Nationals

pass as a starter and raced 10 tnlro
when Same Rice. with the hit-and-run
play on, rif1ed a one-baSer over Uhle'S
head. Goslin's best was pop to
Soluble, but Myer lofted to johnson in
deep left, and Judge got to the count
ing block after the catch.
In their second batting turn the Ma
tionals romped around the bases mer-
rily and chalked up eight runs. All
crossed after the second out was made.
During the scoring orgy Uhle was
chased from the slab, and his successor,
Billings, we'll punished. Uhle was wild,
granting three walks and as many hltS,
while Phillips was charged with
passed ball, and the Tiger supporting
cast made two errors. Billings was
found for two hits and a walk before
he could get the side out.
This Settled It.
One was out when Cronin tripied.
Then Uhle walked Hayes and Brown,
filling the cushions. Cronin Tailed and
Hayes went to third after Fothergill
bagged Judges hoist. Phillips let q
pitch get by. So Hayes counted and
Brown moved to the middle base. A
pass to Sam Rice and singles by Goslin
and Myer accounted for two more
markers and Uhles departure.
West greeted Billings with two
Dagger, Whacked down the right-f1eld
line, and the fifth and sixth tallies of
the frame were hung UP. Tate, up for
the second time in the round, scored
when Harry Rice booted. After Cronin
walked, Phillips tried to pick him of
first base. The throw was good, but
Alexander let the ball go through. SO
Tate counted and Cronin checked in at
second. That was all for the time be-
ing, as Hayes lofted to Fothergill.
The Tigers got to Brown In the third
for triple and two singles that got
them run. Gehringer opened the In
ming with his second three-bagger of
the pastiming and scored after Goslin
bagged Fothergill's fly. Alexander and
McMarus followed with singles, but the
next two batters became easy outs.
More Griff Scoring.
Inc CIlUQ also WAS dIlOtIieE oCOIHlS
round for the Nationals. Brown began
the frame with triple and romped
home after Fothergill grasped Judges
loft Came singles by Sam Rice, Goslin
and Myer and another run. Myers hit
gained him the distinction of having
knocked two pitchers from the slab, for
after it Prudhomme replaced Billings.
There was plate-denting by both
sides in the fifth, but the Nationals OUT
dented the Tigers three to one. Fother-
ellis double and Alexander's' one-baser
accounted for the Tiger tally. Goslins
single, Myers stroll and singles by
West and Tate in succession Melted the
Nationals two runs. Then Tate swtped
second as Cronin whitfield, and Shea's
peg was so wild that West, who had
made no effort to leave third as Tate
stole, scored easily.
More scoring in the sixth by both
clubs Gehringer came up with two on
and two out and drove over two runs
for the Tigers with his third triple OF
the fray. The Nationals with three
singles filled the bases, with none out.
Prudhomme pitched wide one to Cos
