| Neasrer Bob Burke nor Walter
Ste%-Sft finished the Southpaw
Slapoing duel they started. Stewart
was first to leave the field, being
lifted in the eighth after Judge
smote his homer and Jack Hayes
connected for a double. Burke de-
parted in the ninth after Blackie
O'Rourke, starting the inning for
| the Browns, singled.
Stewart had been nicked for all the
Washington hits and runs before he
was yanked. He also had issued four
passes, only one of which helped the
home crowd. Burke yielded seven hits
and three passes. He also struck out
five batters, but he was unfortunate in
having hits off him punched for runs
in one inning and also in having
telling st. Louis smash follow an error
by Joe Cronin, the only misplay Of the
fray. Burke really was impressive all
the way.
Marberry Charged With Loss.
The successors of these left-handers,
I'd Strelecki and Fred Marberry. be-
came the winner and loser of the
pastiming Strelecki assumed the
Browns mound burden in the eighth
with National on second and none
out and gave the home side nothing
more than a base on balls. He then
gave way to a pinch-batter, so AL
Croy-der hurled the ninth after the
Browns had damaged Marberry and
disposed of the Nationals in order.

Red Ifess did better, though. He
socked the ball to deep center and when
TIA Flagstead failed to make good with
e. one-hand stab the sock became a
triple that tailed McNeely with tying
run. The;a Otis Brannon grabbed
Streleckfs bat and a perfect squeeze
play followed. KresS was across the
plate almost as soon as Buddy Myer got
to the ball for play on the bunter.
With this the Browns copied the game.
The st. Louis attack started brisky,
Blue opening the first inning with a
single. But SECOND base was as far as
Lu got during the round. The Ma
tionals Jared better. Myer walked only
to be forced OUT by Rice. Sam swiped
second before Csoslin hoisted to Manush
and tailed when Flagstead hit through
Blue for a base. Flaggy tried to make
his blow a double, but was nipped when
Blue recovered the ball quickly and
threw to KreSS.
Browns Forge Ahead.
There was no more scoring until the
fifth and then it was the Browns who
made the runs. Schang walked at the
outset of the frame and crossed when
O'Rourke crashed a two-bagger to left
near the line. Melillo's intended sacri-
fee bunt was only pop to Burke,
but Kress walked and after Stewart
skied to Goslin looper. from Blues
bat landed in short left for single
tallying O'Rourke. Cronin started back
for Blues hit and it looked as though
he would get under it when he stopped
running suddenly to let Goslin charge
in when the Goose had no chance in the
world to get to the ball.
It was Cronin's tumble of O'RourkeS
tap that paved the way to the Browns
third run. The error came at the start
of the seventh inning and was followed
by Melillo's hunted sacrifice and KreSs'
double.
After their first inning the Nationals
continued getting hit each round of
Stewart and had several scoring
chances. Cronin began the third in
ming with a single and got no farther
than second base. Rice tripled with
two gone in the fifth, but Goslin drib-

however, popped to the Browns second

pass that filled the bases then Burke
was called out on strikes.

though. Then three hits were clustered
and the game deadlocked. With one out
Rice singled and took third as Goslin
hit for a base. F1agstead's hoist to
Manush was caught in rather short
left field, but Rice got home after the
catch. Cronin hoiSted a triple to the
deep angle of right-center field that
scored GoSlin. Joe tried to make homer
of the blow when Coach Milan waved
him on from third base, but was caught
easily at the plate by Melillo'S relay Of
Schulte's throw.
The Browns nearly broke the tie in
the eighth, only great peg by Hayes
stopping them. Manush walked with
one man out and following Schulte's re-
tirement the visitors put on the hit
and-run. Schang made good with a
single, but Hayes, receiving the ball
from Flagstead, got it to Ruel in the
nick of time
