as Pinch Batter.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

~ HICAGO, July 80. - Their
punch weak and their
~ pitching weaker, the Ma
tionalS took an 8-to5
trouncing today as they. opened
a four-game set with the White
Sox in Comiskey Park.
Starting briskly, JohnSonS
charges staked themselves to a
two-run lead, but this soon was
brushed aside by the lowly Fon-
Secans and the latter had merry
time with the Washington pitch
ing parade to the finish.
Each side got 10 safeties, but once
Milton CASTOR settled to his task the
Washington club couldn't do thing to
him until after the Chicago crew had
amaSsed a neat advantage. The Ma
tionals had several chances to pile up
runs, but simply weren't there in the
pinches.
The White Sox took a fancy to all
three hurlers Manager johnson trotted
out. Lloyd Brown, eager to beat the
Chicagoans that he might boast Of
victory over all his clubs rivals this
season, started, but was out Of the
game before the fourth frame ended
a beaten moundsman as the fray fin
ished. Lloyd left after filling the bases
in the fourth and Dick Coffman, his
successor, couldn't get the inning over
until the runners Brown left on had
crossed the big base. Then Fred Mar
berry came on to pitch two rounds and

were for extra bases.
Wildness Is Costly.
wildness of the Washington hurlers
aided the White SoX, who converted
three of five passes they got into runs.
But one extra-base blow was struck
by a National. 1t was homer driven
into the upper left-field stand by Dave
Harris, who picked up Moe Berg's bat
in the ninth inning.
Two were out in the opening inning
before the Nationals began the making
of their first score. Manush singled
and Cronin was franked to first base.
Then Kuhel cracked a one-baser and
ManuSh carried a run over. West left
two on the runway by grounding to the
initial-sacker.
Another Washington tally was chalk
ed up in the second that Kingdom
started with a single. Berg singled
West to third. from where he counted
as Brown drilled into q two-way
eraSure.
Myer opened the Nationals third
with one-baser, only to be forced out
by Manush- AS Cronin famed, Heinie
pilfered second and continued to third
when CRUDE chucked wildly to center
KuhePs best, though, was feeble tap
to the pitcher.
Brown Polished Of.
The White Sox, who had wasted a
walk in the first frame and another
walk and single in the second, found
the counting block in their third bat
ting turn. Funk forced out Castor,
who had singled, but after Hayes iofted
out Selph SlaShed a two-bagger down
the left-f1eld line to account for a
marker.
Nothing to the fourth frame but the
White Sox. Appling began it with
single and took third when Blue hit
for a base after West got Kress' hoist,
Brown walked CRUDE to fill the bases,
then walked to the club house. Coff-
man came on to be found for a single
by CASTOR that scored Appling and Blue
and moved CRUDE to the far corner.
CRUDE tailed as Funk grounded 70
Kuhel
The Nationals had runner on in the
fifth and again in the sixth, but in the
first of these rounds two were out when
Myer walked, and it was the same in
the sixth when West singled. Neither
Manush nor Kingdom could help IN
these innings.
Selph Does 1t Again.
Maple batted for Coffman with one
out in the seventh and made first when
the shortstop fumbled, but Rice ana
Myer were soft pickin'S for CASTOR.
The White Sox combed Marberry for
run in this round, however, and after
two were out, too. Hayes Grew pass
stole second and romped home When
Selph cracked his second extra-baSe
hit A triple between West and Rice.
Two Washington runs were registered
in the eighth session. Manush launched
the attack with a one-baser. and Gro
hin was pinked by one Of Gaston's
pitches. Kuhel singled Heinie home
and Joe TO third. Cronin scored as
West smacked into force play. King
don also rammed into force play, and
Bluege running for him, was nipped at
second by Grube's fling when Berg
failed to connect as the h1t-ano-run
sign was hung up.
In their batting half of this round,
though. the White SoX found the plate
three times. Appling walked and KresS
sacrificed. Came doubles by Blue and
CRUDE to account for two markers. and
after CASTOR rolled out Funk singled
run across
All the Nationals got out Of the ninth
was that homer by Harris.
