In less than two innings all of the Nationals’ advantage, well earned off a trio of Tyger tossers, | was swept aside and the club vanquished, 9 to 8. . In eight frames, the Bushmen with a sixteen-hitettack, their best in | tome weeks, amassed all their runs, while the big smoke ball flinger had . the Tygers eating out of his hand. But they began to eat off his hand in their portion of the eighth. This taste of blood so whetted their ap- petites that nothing remained of Russell, the willing rescue worker, but his mangled form after Fred Haney’s death-dealing double to center ins the ninth had scored Topper, Rigner with the tying run and Bobby Jones h the marker that completed the killing. | There were two Tigers out of thes IT YOURSELF. | |32y when Haney struck the blow SA‘ T A . that resulted in a loss particularly bitter to Donie Bush and his ation- als.
