Without hesitating dashed for first. stepped on the for the second out, and whipped the ball to Marhafka, who toed the Kevstone sack, to complete the triple kiiling, and then strutted off the field with his chest expanded to capacity. And this wasn't the only worth- hile bit of fielding Nick pulled. He made most of the catches with one hand. the natives and tin-can tourists, who comprised the crowd of 600-odd fans. departing with the firm convic- tion that he is the greatest first base- man in the world Al Schacht -started for the Griffs and merrily. three hits in each of first three innings. inotuding doubles and a triple. netting Philliex five runs. That's all did get. however, for Albert them in order in the fourth, by way of a change, and Brower held them scoreless during the five frames he officiated. Nick's triple play was a prominent factor in saving Frank's hide in round five. The eizhth frame as the only other in which Brower was solved, a_pair of singles with two out resulting in no damage.

All told. the Nationals rang up & total of fifteen safeties off the three flingers Donovan nominated. as against thirteen for their opponents. Brower was the most effective bats- man. driving in exactly half of his team’s tallies. but Goebel compiled the best average with a trio of swats in five times up. The latter showed the benefits of the coachinw he has received in regard to han®ing his bat. Where he has been holding back to make sure of meeting the ball, he whaled away on every occasion, fol Jowed through, as the golfers say, even at the risk of missing. and the result was he got some power and snap into -his blows, two singles and a double resulting. ba on the rubber the the they was maced right | two ! retired | 18.—Manager-Comedian-Coach-First ty close to being the whole show in 1z the National rookies handed the Phillies by way of obtaining revenge for the setback handed them in Adorned with a noisy green tie in honor oi the red his charges about like a martinet, He took upon himself the v, pulled off a triple play with the relieving Brower at first base; con- field and wound up by us.-ping the ¢ Donovan and called the balls and strikes on himself on BetiieA e - @ 8 I Waums i la M 1 0 19 A E] 1 0 omwa® bel. cf.
