Manager johnson kept several
regular members of the club out
of action yesterday and very
likely one or two more of the
frSt-stringers will watch proceed
ingS from the bench during part
of the game this afternoon. Joe
Judge, Joe Cronin and Goose Gcs-
lin were the bench-warmers dur
ing the Saturday tilt, the last
mentioned, however, taking turn
as pinch-hitter in the ninth
inning and making good with a
triple.
Fred Marberry, seeking a nineteenth
victory this year, went to the firing line
for the Nationals yesterday and pitched
well enough to have won. But Fred
was the victim of poor support in the
opening frame when his mates kicked

scratchy, sent the Red Sox away in
front never to be caught.
This Decision Hurt.
After that first frame the Red Sox
got but seven safeties off Marberry, but
twice they managed to cluster as many
as two OF them Tor a run. 1t must be
said, though, that a run annexed by
the Rex Sox after two were out in
the fourth frame was due more to Base
Umpire Bick Campbell's apparent fail
ure to see side-retiring play at first
base than anything else. The umpire's
miss In this instance put on a man
who was driven home by the succeed
ing batter.
The Nationals faced two Boston
pitchers. Their former teammate, Mil
ton CASTOR, was on the rubber at the
outset of hostilities and he hurled for
four innings during which he yielded
four hits, two passes and an unearned
run. Ed Carroll. youngster who fol-
lowed CASTOR, allowed only five hits and
walk in five rounds. Off him, though.
The Nationals cleaned a brace of
markers.
Red Barnes, who assumed Goose Cos
Inns place in left field and the batting
order for the home side, was RESPONSE
bic in a way for four runs during the
game. He gave Marherry and his club
a poor start by dropping hoist from

at the beginning of hostilities. Req
atoned for this. though, by driving over
the first two Washington tallies.
Lead-off Batters Sock.
The lead-off batters of the contend
ing clubs were prominent in attack.
Harley Boss, understanding at first base
for the Nationals, helped himself to
two doubles and a triple. He scored
twice and drove one run across. Reeves
Of the Red Sox got on the runway every
time he stepped TO the plate. Follow
ing the headway he made when aided
by Barnes error in the first inning, Bob
came through with three singles in a
row.
The visitors registered their two runs
in the opening inning quickly. Reeves.
on second as result of the Washington
leftfielder'S muff, counted when Tate
picked up Cicero's hunted single and
chucked the ball far past Boss. Cicero
reached third on the hectic heave and
tailed after West bagged Rothrock's
hoist.
The Nationals got back one of these
runs in their tirsC turn at bat. Boss
cracked two-bagger against the right
field fence and rambled to third while
Rothrock booted the ball about. Harley

to Rothrock, but got home when Barbes
sent hot bounder to Todt.
Then came the fourth-inning run for
the Red SoX due 10 Umpire Campbell'S
seeming miss. Two were out when Todt

over to cover first, but had to jump for

Todt arrived. Campbell, though, called
the runner safe and Rhyme followed
with double to score Todt.
Some More Scoring.
Successive singles by Boss, Rice and
Barnes after one was out in the fifth
frame Melted the Nationals another
run. Then there was no more scorass
until the ninth, when both sides denied
the plate. Scarritt's single and theft
and double made by Rhyme after two
were out accounted for the Red Sox
marker. Goslins triple when batting
for Marberry and Boss infleld erasure
gave the Nationals their score.
Rice needs two hits in the final game
to get 200 safeties for the season. He
got only single and a walk in five
trips to the plate yesterday.
The Nationals are breaking up.
Cronin, Brown and Milan left yester-
day for their homes, Cronin to 60 to
San Francisco and the others to Texas
towns.
Only part of the Red Sox squad was
sent here for the final series. Some
new Boston talent played yesterday and
