by Susko, Harris and Bolton had gone

far toward getting this advantage.
Looked as though Brother Benson
might breeze through when he got
the first two Sox up in the eighth out
of the way. Then came single and
pass. Here Haas hit to send in a
run. Simmons singled to send in an
other and oust the blistered Brother
Benson. McColl stepped out to be
nicked by Appling for a single that
made the game all even.
With much effort the Nationals got
a run off Gallivan in the eighth, but
after getting two out in the visitors
last turn, McColl blew the game. With
five pitches he walked Pinch Batter
Boken, who hadn't hit barn door in
weeks.
A single and another walk filled
the bases. Simmons got two of with
fine blow. Then Lyons was called
on by Manager Dykes to check the
Nationals in their last turn.
1t was a sorry setback, but Brother
Benson wasn't to be blamed.

Bobby Jones stuck to golf until he
