SOX IN BOSTON
BY FRANK BUCK" O'NEILL

OJ = AS6A1NAA DSNAA ~ 4NA6AA@A
The Nationals today will at
tempt to continue their conquest
of the Boston Red Sox and climb
into third place in the American
League pennant race. The last in
structionS to the boys by President
Clark Griffith were that they re-
frain from impersonating kip
pered herrings, and play a little
baseball. They did all right against
the Red Sox here, but they've al
ways been a soft touch on the
road. Just look at the standing of
the clubs. The Mats are six full
games behind Boston, having lost
three games in the series with the
YankS.
The Nationals could have beaten
the Yankees easily enough yester-
day. They had Yves Ferrell all
ready for the cleaners and then
went completely to the bowwowS.
The Nationals got dozen hits and
five earned runs off Ferrell. But
the difference was that Ferrell
had a guy named Red Rolfe on
third, DiMaggio in center, and
Selkirk part of the time IN left.
LEWIS NEEDS REST
The series, and particularly yes
terday's first game, was a night
mare to Buddy Lewis. He per.
sonally permitted the Yankees to
score four runs, and no pitcher
can win many games when a key
defense man is indulging in such
antics. Lewis needs a rest and
needs it badly. Bluege should be
on third base.
Harry Kelley pitched a nice
game in the nightcap and deserved
to win. He had the better of
Bump Hadley.
It was in the fifth inning that
some fan arose and beloved to
Ferrell: How does it feel to have
a ball club behind you, WeS?"
When the game was over Fer
rell asked: SIS it always as easy
at this?"
Selkirk and Crosetti crashed
while chasing Lewis pop fly. Sell
kirk was injured, but Crosetti
caught the ball. CroSetti called
the catch, but Selkirk kept coming.
