LiSka's collapse in the seventh
came without warning. In the
first six innings but five of the
White Sox had denied the run
way. Two made singles in the first
inning, one singled in the second
after two had been retired, only to
be forced out, and in the sixth
after two were cut a kick by
Buddy Myer let visitor reach the
initial sack.
Ad was banged so hard in the
seventh. though. that the White Sox
had four runs to their credit and
runner on third base with only one out
when the left-handed Brown was sent
% the hill. Brown lost little time In
wild-pitching the fifth run across and
though the visitors did not score there
after his hurting was anything but
brilliant He made three wild heaves
during his brief term.
Griffs Held to Six Hits.
Of Walsh the Nationals cleaned but
ak safeties, four of them widely scat
tered through the first eight frames.
But Walsh was generous with passes,
granting five, and several times before
they finally found the counting block
In the ninth Walter Johnson's charges
had good tallying opportunities.
Sam West got the best hit of the
game of Walsh, triple, but it was not
made until there we're two out in the
hrst inning. and all Red Barnes could
do was roll feebly to Bill Cissell in
short 1t looked as though the Ma
fionsls might get somewhere in the sec
end inning when Joe Cronin walked at
the start, Joe Judge singled and Jack
Hayes sacrificed to put runners on
third and second bases. But Muddy
Ruel fouled out and Liska whitfield.
Judges pass IN the fourth came after
two were out and meant little, but in
the fifth the Nationals again had two
on with one out Liska singled after
Ruel was tossed out and Myer drew
free ticket to first. Sam Rice, though,
orly advanced the runner by ground
ing out and West hoisted to Alex
Metzler, who did not have to make
much Of a run for the catch. Judges
single and theft with two gone in the
sixth was wasted when Hayes famed,
and then came the White Sox on
olaught.
Kamm Starts Scoring Rally.
Willie Kamm. who always seems to
be a trouble-maker for the Nationals,
opened the visitors seventh with
and only fast fielding by Myer pre-
vented the tap from becoming single
instead of sacrifice. Liska failed to
pick UP the ball, but Myer, rushing In
ct top speed, grabbed it and threw to
get whisker decision at first. Johnny
Kerr's one-baser to right Tailed Kamm
and the hitter made second as Rice
lheaved to the plate. Moe Berg's two
Dagger scored Kerr and there we're two
on when Walsh took one of Liska's
heaves on the foot. MetZler drove over
the third and fourth runs Of the round
by crashing a triple against the open
stand back of left-center.
This triple brought about Liska's re-
Net by Brown. The first thing Brown
cid was pass Art Shires; then the left
handler In pitching to Clarence Hoffman
let go wild one and Shires reached
eecond. Only quick recovery by Ruel
held Metzler to third. But another wild
pitch followed and both runners ad-
vanced Metzler tallying. Before Hoff-

home. but Ruel nipped him within
inches of the plate.

hit, was doubled with the next bat
