MIAMI, Fla, March 29.-Exerting
all the effort of a guy shooting fish
in barrel, Bucky Harris children
eating, cripple-kicking Nationals
staged their daily rampage today
and ran their winning streak in the
Grapefruit League to seven in a
row by burying the New York Giants,
10 to 6.
AS against the days when a Nat
got a bonus for hitting a double,
Manager Harris young men put on
another of their new hit em-a-mile
shows against hard-pressed, per-
spring pitcher named Bob Bowman.
Only six hits bounced off the Wash
ington bats, but half of these were
booming home runs, each clouted
with at least one runner on base.
First Win Over Giants.
1t was the first time this spring
the Mats have beaten the Giants
and the third time they have met
the Terrymen, who have inflicted
two-thirds of the defeats the Wash
ington club has suffered. Undis-
puted leaders in the exhibition grind,
the Mats now have whipped, in sue
cession, the Tigers (three times, st.
Paul and Milwaukee Of the Amer
lean Association and the Phillles
and Giants.
Ken Chase and Danny MaCFayden
did the pitching for Washington.
They were pretty good. The Giants
never were in the lead, but they
we're reasonably close in the fifth
inning when Chase was banged for
four runs. This narrow escape from
losing a lead inspired the Mats and
they got those four runs back and
that was about all there was to the
ball game.
Neither Chase nor MacFavden
was the hero today The big boys
were G Buddy Lewis and (2)
George Archie.
Lewis, Archie Sew Up Game.
The young third baseman. who
on Monday will take his physical
examination for the Army, banged
two drives over the right-feld can
vas fence and Archie celebrated his
return to the lineup by hitting over
the left-feld fence, also made OF
canvas. Lewis, almost single
handedly tied the Giants for he
drove across six runs, or as many
as the National Leaguers scored.
Washington took a 80 lead in
the opening inning and never lost
it. George Case and Rog Cramer
singled. While Johnny Welat was
drawing a walk, Case stole third.
Lewis followed with walk. fore
ing across a run, and Cecil Travis
got on base through an error by
Burgess Whitehead, a second run
scoring. On Buddy Myers double
play ball, Welaj made it 80.
The Giants scored in the sec
ond on Babe Young's single and.
after two were out, walk and a
single by Pitcher Bowman.
Mats Clinch Game.
In the third, however, the Mats
scored three more on a walk to
Cramer. an error on Welaj's ground
er and Lewis first home run. This
made it 81 and probably caused
Chase to ease up because, opening
the fifth Johnny Rucker tripled,
Whitehead was safe on a fielder's
choice, Harry Danning was safe on
a wild throw by Lewis and Young
homered over the right-field fence.
Except for a lonesome. innocuous
run in the eighth, Chase and Mac
Fayden shut the door in the faces
of the Giants thereafter.
Meanwhile, Rookie Archie bounced
back in the sixth inning after two
hitless appearances and cleared the
left-f1eld fence with a homer that
scored Myer ahead of him. making
it to 5. Then, in the seventh with
Welaj on base. Lewis casually wal
loped his second home run and that
about takes care of it.
