All Johnson's pitching prowess will avail nothing if his. support is no better than that accorded Mogridge and the other local hurlers yester- day, however. Shocker Same Old Pussle. With Shocker bluffing and oc- casionally using his spitter he proved | (g as baffling as ever, holding the Na- tionals to three scattered hits except in one round, the sixth, when they registered their lone tally. bingles was recorded In this frame, but the first of them was a pure gift by Ken Williams, who lost Milan's fly in the sun, the run accruing when Ricek and Harris followed with real hits. The latter pair was stranded ‘when Miller fouled to Ellerbe. Only two other good chances for runs were preseated. ln.the opener McManus’ error and Rice's double put -Griffs on third and second, where Har- ris left them, and in the fourth Miller flied to Tobin after Harris tripled with two out. Shocker demonstrated his versatility by using the bludgeon to good advan- tage. as well as his pitching arm. Urban_connected for- three safeties, one of them a’ healthy wallop for three bases that cleared a fully peo- pled set of sacks. This occurred in the fourth. At that time the Browns possessed only one marker, obtained in the first inning on Tobin's triple against the right field wall, and an atrocious heave by Harris, so Shocker’s clout really decided the af- fair. " - = Griffs Are Sloppy Afleld. The runs it produced shrank in im- portance as the pastime proceeded with Mogridge, Acosta, Erickson and, K finally Mclllree getting bumped more or less vigorously and some of the others. notably Bush, guilty of repre- hensible work afield. Donie had two wild throws and a fumble charged against him. One of these misplays developed in round seven, when seven of the Browns chased around the | bLase lines. Two of these markers, and. incidentally, a two-base hit for Tobin, were the result of Rice and Miller deferring one to the other'in going after a high fly. ‘This exhibition of fielding clency was_typical bt the manner in which the Nationals'nplayed through- out the game, and as a result they earned a fine razzing from the crowd. Bush and Shanks both received much unwelcome attention. The fans yelled for Foss and La Motte. ineffi- .
