classed all the way. Young Dick Coff-
| man. who once wore Washington uni
| form, clearly outpitched the veteran
Sam Jones. To such an extent was
this true Manager johnson withdrew
the somber squire of Woodsield after
the sixth round and sent Bob Burke,
left-hander, to the hill for the last two
! innings The Nationals outbatted the
Browns. nine hits to seven, but Coffman
was tight with men on the runway
while Jones, who yielded all the st.
Louis safeties, twice slipped badly under
similar circumstances. And those two
slips meant the ball game.
THAT washington run was put across
i in the second inning with Myers
single and Bluege's triple before a
batter was retired. Then Bluege stood
at third to watch Spencer thrown out,
Jones fan and West ground to the
Shortstop.
Twice thereafter the Nationals got as
many as two hits an inning, but Coff.'
man always had them at his mercy
once they got on. Rice opened the
third with single and judge followed
with asone-base clout Sam tried to
make third on Joe's hit, but found the
ball waiting for him and neither
Cronin nor Harris could aid Judge, who
had gone to- second on Badgro's fine
retiring throw to the far corner.
With one out in the eighth Judge and
Cronin singled in succession, but Harris
promptly drilled into a double-play.
1t was the second double-play made
by the Browns. Cronin had started the
sixth session with a single, but after
Harris skied out Myer sent roller to
KreSs and a two-way erasure ensued.
The Nationals were not there in
pinches.
THAT one-run Washington lead did
4 not stand long. The Browns came
right back in the second to go to
the front and it was base on balls
that started them on their scoring
way. KresS drew the pass at the out
set of the round and scampered home
when Ferrell doubled. Terrell moved to
third as Schultz was thrown out, but
chung to that sack when Cronin heaved
out Melillo. Then came break for
the Browns, Badgro topped the ball in
front of the plate and got to first be-
fore Jones could get his throw to Judge.
That let Terrell get home safely and
the Browns were leading.
Two were out in the fourth before the
Browns started the making of their
third and last run. The Browns have
made a habit of counting after two are
out in this series. Schultz singled and
pulled up at second when Melillo hit
for a base. Badgro poked a one-baser
to right and Schultz dented the count
ing block.
Another game gone.
CTEwART'S win Monday was his first
~ since June %. Coffman's win yes
terday was his first since June 81.
He had been knocked from slab four
times since that win. How these
Browns pick on Nationals. They now
are enjoying longest winning streak
since mid-June.
Harris has yet to hit safely in the
serieS-up 10 times, too-Manush
