after q first inning in which run on

Washington pitching was not so good
and the washington fielding was fuzzy,
so the Nationals took a 5-to-3 licking
in 10 innings and remained in second

IT seemed the Nationals did every

the White Sox with the third game
of the series. Not one of the three
runs the Bush band got before the
tenth was an earned run. Four errors
contributed to their making. True, the
washington tallies made in the fourth
were spotted, but had the game been
played flawlessly from the start the
Nationals would have checked in with
a l-to-0 win in eight and one-half
