BARRAGE Of SHIFTS
IN nth SETTLES|T
Burke and Russell Finish
Strong in Box After Weav-
er Is Padded.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

A ILAN la, "a, April l.-RlS-
~ ing in their might in the
n eleventh inning after they
had all but cast aside the
game by their erratic play afield,
the Nationals today hoped on the
venerable Bob Hasty, smacked his
offerings to all corners of the At
lanta ball yard and scored six
times to beat the CT ackers, II to S.
1t was the fourth win for the Cronin
crew over Wilbert Robinsons club and
the fray wound up the training cam
paign series that started back in Mobile
early in March. The Crackers won
two of the games and tied in one.
1t was single by Moe Berg that op-
ened the Nationals eleventh-round Of
fensive. Then wild chuck of Jack
Russells sacrifice put two on and the
bases were full when .the Cracker third
sacker dropped throw from Hasty,
who had picked up Joe Kuhel's sacri-
flee bunt. Buddy Myer couldn't do
thing.to help, but Heinie Manush con-
nected for his fourth successive single
to score two, then came one-base by
Joe Cronin, double by Goose Goslin
and, after Fred Schultz went out,
single by Ossie Bluege. That was more
' than enough.
MONTE WEAVER, who opened fire
Xvl for the Nationals and went six in
nings, was found in the last two
for the tallies that sent the game into
overtime. He gave up five hits and four
passes, and mixture of hits with three
errors accounted for the Cracker scor-
ing.
Bob Burke, out for the first time this
year, left-handed his way through two
good innings, then Russell finished. The
Atlantans got seven safeties all told.
The Nationals did their hitting of
Max Butcher, Highlander who started
and went six sessions, and Hasty. They
made Is hits, one homer driven into
the left-fleld stands by Manager Cronin.
The boy field boss also thumped a
triple and with his hits drove over the
Nationals first four markers. 1t was
the third of Manush's four singles that
sent over the tying tally In the ninth.
It was a tame affair for the first
four innings. In that time the Ma
tionals wasted double by Schultz, a
single by Myer and a pass. The
Crackers were on the runway with two
singles and a trio of walks, but they
didn't help. Nor did Schulte's second
sock, a single, do the Nationals any
good In the fifth.
This was a fat round for the Crack
ers, however All nine went to bat
and by backing two errors with two
hits four runs were registered One
was out when Cronin kicked a grounder
and there were two on when Weaver
picked up bunt and threw to second
too late for force. Dashiell's walk
crowded the sacks. Then came Myers
boot on a roller to let in run. A
single meant two more markers and
still another single scored fourth.
THE Nationals came back to pick up
i two talhes in the sixth. Kuhel
walked, only to be forced out by
Myer. but Manush connected for base.
Cronin crashed triple to the score
board back of left-center to get his
mates across.
The Crackers, though, checked in at
the plate again in the same session.
Mckee opened their attack with dou-
BILE, watched a batter hoist out, then
made third safely as Weaver picked up
a pinch batters bound and pulled
Bluege off base with a wild throw.
Dashiell's fly to Manush put the run
over.
Two more Washington scores in the
eighth and again Cronin was the big
punch. After Manush singled with one
gone, the boy field boss hooked one of
Hasty's pitches into the left-field stand,
but that still left the Nationals run
to the bad. That run was picked up in
the ninth, though, when Kunel dou-
bled with one out and Manush singled
with two gone.
big push was under way.
