HAMMER HOGSETT
LAST TWO INNINGS
Get All Runs After Harris
Band Gains Early Lead
Off CrOWder.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

l. y the Nationals yesterday
pounded the left-handed
Elon Hogsett for their third vic
tory of the series with the Tigers
and their fifth successive win.
The score was to 2 and John
sons charges took the battle by
punching, in the seventh and
eighth innings, 7 of the II hits
they got during the tuSsle.
The Tigers had combed Al Crowder
for eight safeties and their tallies in
the six rounds he was on the hill
twice clustering three safetieS for a
tally.
The general was eliminated by a
pinch batter in the seventh, but with
the Nationals going to the front in that
round he instead of Lloyd Brown, his
successor, got credit for the win. Now
Crowder has a record of l8 victories
for the campaign.
Brown, though, deserves much credit
for his relief turn. He deftly disposed
of six Tigers in succession during his
two innings on the rubber.
-Four Griff Runs Earned.
The four hits the Nationals got be-
fore they crashed the run column were
spread over as many innings. In both
their scoring rounds, though, they
crowded the sacks with none out and
each time solid hits followed.
One of their runs was let in by the
only error of the game, wild throw by
Right Fielder Earl Webb, but four OF
their scores were earned so they didn't
need the aid of that Tiger misplay.
They fell upon the alien southpaw
so hard in the eighth that the big
Indian had to give way to ancient
George Uhle after two were out.
George pitched to one batter only to
stem the onset.
In the first round the Nationals
wasted Kuhel's walk and hits helped
neither side in the second. For the
Tigers Walker singled and stole with
one out. but the next two batters were
easy for Crowder. For the Nationals,
Kerr singled with two out, stole and
then moved up on wild pitch, but
Spencers best was hoist to the center
fielder.
Tigers Get to Plate.
The Tigers found the plate in the
third inning, however. Hayworth opened
the attack with a single only 20 be
forced out by Hogsett. The pitcher
moved up as Soluble went out and
counted when Gehringer singled. Stone
also hit for a base, but Webb popped
to the shortstop.
Blueges single with two out meant
nothing to the Nationals in their third
batting turn, but the Tigers came back
in the fourth to score again. One was
out when Rogell singled. Then Rhlel
slammed a double against the open
stand back of left field, but the over
ambitious Rogeu trying to score was
nIa%1 kvyU n
Manush's throw Rhiel, though, went
I'D to third on the play to tally when
Hayworth hit for base.
For the johnson band, Cronin opened
the fourth with double. but never got
away from the middle sack. Nor was
Crowders single in the fifth any good
to the home side. 1t came with one
out and following 1t Kuhel struck out
and Bluege skied out.
Only one hit was made in the sixth
and that by Tiger. Walker singled
with one gone, but he wasn't on the
runway long before he was forced out.
Then West after hard run got under
Rhiers high one.
Johnson's Band Goes Ahead.
With three hits and aided by Webbs
overstrong arm, the Nationals went
ahead in the seventh session. West
began the offensive by beating out
bunt to Hogsett, then Kerr singled over
second. Hogsett pinked Spencer with
q pitch and the bases were crowded.
Rice batted for Crowder to force out
Maple, running for Spencer, but West
got home. Kuhel slammed a sharp
single to right that sent in Kerr with
the tieing tally.
Rice, watching Webb's throw, pulled
up at second on the hit, but when the
right fielder's heave cleared Schubles
head and sailed into the Tiger dugout,
ground rules left Rice trot home from
the midway point and Kuhel go to the
far corner. Kuhel had to hold third
as Bluege was thrown out, then Manush
skied to the center fielder.
Three more runs for the Nationals in
the eighth. Cronin singled, Reynolds
dropped a double in the right field
corner and West walled to jam the
sacks. Kerr popped out, but Myer,
batting for Spencer. singled to send in
Cronin and Reynolds and move West
to the far corner. Browns pop was
dropped by Rhiel, but both West and
Myer had chung to their bases as the
ball went up, so Myer was easily forced
out with no run crossing when the
firSt-sacker recovered the ball quickly
Kuhel, though, doubled to tally West
and send Hogsett from the hill.
Along came Uhle and Bluege's best
of the relief hurler was a high one to
