This was the tally in the final frame ~hen @ Texas leaguer real fol- lowed b¥ put FPhils on third and second with ome out. A pinch performer in the person of Frank Bruggy, late of the Interna-| tional League, appeared at this junc- ture, and, with the count one and one on him, Olaf stuck the ball over the heart of the plate, Bruggy whaled it over Marhafka's head and the game was over. Griff voiced the hope on the way here from Tampa that the Quaker moundsmen would show enough to give his hirelings some good batting practice. They did. Lefty Baumgartner, who was with the Phillies several vears ago and of late has been toil-| ing in the Steel League, and George Smith, an angular righthander, served up all kinds of twisters and benders.

His wallop to deep left in the eighth was an honest-to-goodness crack, netting two sacks and paving the way for the second and what seemingly was the winning tally for the Griffs. It was Foss who sent him home by a sacrifice fly after Brower's death had adyanced him a notch, and it® also the Tampa third-sacker who Totals . o NATION, AR, E.

This occurred in the fourth round when Howard beat out a dribble, pulled one of his well known delayed Steals and continued to third when the catcher heaved to center field. Foss promptly hammered . a productive safety to lett. Deeby's best wallop, however, was wasted. It was manu- factured in The sixth. It carried on a line over the left fielder's dome,and netted two bases, sending Brower from first to third. Goebel coaxed a pass to load the bases, but McHugh failed to rise to the occasion and Torced him. Zachary Pitches Impressively. Zachary hurled the first five frames and did an impressive job, the marker chalked against him being unearned. The first man up in the Iyird got a Jife when Marhafka muffed Jezebl's 1oss of a swinging bunt. The latter fanned his pitching opponent, but stolen base in which Picinich figured th a passed ball put the runner n scoring distance, and a stiff double to center by Parkinson com- pleted the job. This was the only tume Jezebel was touched in a vulner- able spot, although he was in a bad hole in the fourth, when fumbles by Marhafka and Brower and a hit bats- man loaded the bases with two out. Zach then whiffed the remaining sticker. Acosta took up the hurling burden in the sixth, when he retired the side o four pitched balls. He twisted the an kle that was hurt in practice at Tampa, | however, and after the seventh, in which he fanned a couple and was reached for a three-bag clout, he gave way to Erickson. damage in the eighth after a pass and his error put Quakers on third and sec- ond, when Goebel dashed back and grabbed a joit in deep center. This was #rooved, too, but he did it once too often—in the ninth—and it cost the ball same. A crowd of more than 500 turned out. including a liberal delegation of the tin- can tourists, and Nick Altrock, as usual, ‘put_on an’ entertaining, exhibition of clowning. chance o fling for an inning or two in the second game of the series today, al- | though Al Schacht and Frank Brower | are the hurlers officially designated to work. Goebel had only two chances in the field, but demonstrated in_the way he handled them that so far as fielding is concerned he is well advanced. His cateh of Jack Miller's drive in the eighth inning, which saved two runs, was a perfect piece of work. The drive was a long one. Goebel set out with his back to the diamond, legged it at top speed d turned just at the right second and spot to make an easy catch. La Motte and Foss both handled their few chances with confidence and assur- unce. The latter has the earmarks of being a hitter of ability.

REPORT, LOOKING FIT TAMPA, Fla., March 17.—Looking much fitter than Manager George Mc- Bride anticipated, Bing Miller, prize home-run swatter of Dixie, and his teammate, Dick Brottem, who hit quite |a few triples last year for Little Rock, got their first taste of training with the Nationals today. The pair arrived last night, taciturn about everything except their willing- ness to get to work and a_word or two about physical eondition. Miller says he } worked through a bath course at Hot | Springs, and well does he look it, while Brottem states he has been laying for this chance in the big show and is ready to_stick. Walter Johnson did a little bit of ev- erything in practice yesterday and lu! primed for a real race. There was a lot of pathos in yester- day’s session—the moving of Milan into the right garden. Clyde is getting along in years and his new assignment will give him more rest than he has been accustomed to. His legs show no sign: of trouble when he is on the base paths, though. _Meanwhile Duffy Lewis, in left, looks like the goods. He is showing 4 lot of speed and is whaling the ball consistent- 1y, off of some fairly good pitching, too. | Tickets on Sale at Spalding's.
