By JOHN B. KELLER.

MGGCII CO. 44C4S woo @1O
startling punch in the
~ bats Of the Nationals this
afternoon when they engaged the
L.ookoutS in the first Of a series OF
exhibition tits the clubs will
stage here. In fact, there was al
most no punch In the war clubs
Of Walter JohnSon'S charges for
only two hits were mustered by
them. But these were sufficient
to get them a 3-to-0 victory over
President Joe EngerS Southern
Association hopefulS.
Chattanooga got no more hits than
did the Nationals and as Fred Mar
berry and Bob Burke who did the fling
ing for the big leaguerS were more pol
iShed In their work once there were
runners on the bases than Chick How
ard and Joe Marty, Lookout right
handlers, the Scant attack availed the
Dixie circuit crew nothing.
Marberry went four innings against
the Engle aggregation and yielded
single double and three passes. He
also struck out two betters. Burke
took a flve-round turn and issued four
walks and hit q batter. He whitfield
six, striking out the side in the eighth
inning.
Howard toiled through the first six
innings for Chattanocga and gave up
hit, a run and hve franks to the In
itial station. Marty allowed one blow
and two walks, al clustered IN the
seventh inning to net the Nationals two
ta1lieS. The Chattanooga pair did not
do much striking out, each setting back
but two Washington swingers.
Roth Threatened In Second.
Both sides threatened to dent the
plate In the second inning, but failed
to make the grade. with one out Of
round, Judge, Bluege and Cronin drew
successive passes. Tate, though, put
up an tnfield ny and AGarberry forced
out Cronin. Bigelow and Barrett
walked to start the Lookouts' round,
but Marberry deity picked up Tread
ways intended Sacriflcial bunt to get
Bigelow ut the far corner and, after
Harris famed, Kenna was easy Tor the
Nationals hurler.
A single grounded to center by West
at the outset Of the Nationals third
batting turn blazed the way to q
tally. Sammy took second as Rice
went out and moved up another notch
when Howard made q wild pitch.
After Barnes Strolled Hayes crashed
.. wicked liner to right that looked good
for a hit. West headed for home, but
and Sammy had to scramble back TO
third. Barrett's throw to Dashiell at
second was none too good and when
the ball got away from the Lookout
middle saeker, West headed for home
once more and barely made 1t ahead
OF Daslliell's relay. The play was
scored rs q sacrifice ny for Hayes, al
though Barrett might well have been
charged with an error for his poor
heave, which would have made the
Washington tally unearned.
The LookoutS got to Marberry for q
hit after two were out in the third
and In the fourth put their first two
batters on the runway. BigeIow cam
Ioned a double to the right-held cor
ner, and Barrett walked. The next
two batterS, though, popped out, and
Kenna fouled to Tate to end the round
and Marherry's work for the day.
Burke Escapes Damage.
After Burke got two out In the nth
session, two L0okouts got on the run
way. DaSitel walked, and Burke
Slammed the ball against Gooch'S right
arm. Bigelow did some mighty swing
ing, but his best was q foul to LETT
that Barnes collared after q brilliant
sprint.
gers sent Marty to the hill for the
LookoutS and the Nationals proceeded
to reach the newcomer for their Sec
ond safety and two more markers.
Crcnin and Ruel drew passes and
S.!oved up as Burke was erased. Vests
retirement let Cronin score and Ruel
followed Joe across the plate when
Rice ripped 3 single TO left.
Two LockoutS got passes from Burke
In the eighth, but between these walks
Bob famed G0och and later threw q
third one BY the left-handed Barrett,
then ended the inning by whining an.
other southpGw Swinger, Treadaway.
Joe Engel has q spiffy new stadium
here for his LookoutS and 1t Is named
after him. The stands are spacious,
the playing fieid hne and Joe'S preSi-
dental once Is q nobby affair done IN
the modernistic style.
Old friends wearing Chattanooga
Uniforms greeted the Nationals. Ed
Kenna was behind the bat, Charley
Gooch, with Washington only last
year, was at third base, and Wild Mat
thews, once Washington center fielder,
was In the middle garden. The Look
outs also had Elliot Bigelow, with the
Nationals brief time between the 1928
and 20 seasons, in left.
other ex.Nationals with the Look
outs are Ed Wineapple, pitcher: Clif
Bolton, catcher, and Harley Boss, FIRST
sacker. Bolton and Wineapple look in
good condition, but Boss Is out Of action
with q blistered knee, the result Of
TOO free use Of q strong Iniment.
Boss, Washington friends may be In
terested to know, took unto himself a
wife last Saturday In Chattanooga. He
married Melba Marie Cox, q school
teacher In his home town, Jonesboro,
La.
West and Barnes drew big hands from
the 1000 crowd present for SpectsSuiar
catches. West came In fGS. ~no dived
for q shce-top grab Of Towards liner
70 the outset Of the NTH inning and
IN the seventh Barnes backed against
the leftfleld stand to drag down
Kenna'S long drive.
Mcleod and Charity crashed the
Nationals lineup in the sixth, Jimmy
going to third base and Pat to flrSt.
Same teams meet again Sunday.
