The Mound City gang's second successive { licking here was by 4 to 3 At any time now. however, club offi- cials are expecting to hear that Presi- dent Clark Griffith and Scout Joe Engel have found something in the Southern | Association, the Southeastern League or some other minor organization below here that may be helpful to the Na- tionals during ~he remainder of the season at leasl.

The slender southpaw, after ing three lickings in a row. and two m tough to take, came back in cat fashion to register a win over the rowns.

Gray was much wilder than Braxton, though. and while the four passes he issued did not figure in the Washington scoring as did the off lone walk off the local hurler in the St. | Louis tally-making, his inability to locate the plate got him into trouble several times. When he eased up to get the ball over. the Nationals socked him and in three rounds they made their socks tell. It was an up-hill game for Braxton and his club. After the Nationals grabbed a run in the first frame from singles by Sam West and Sam Rice and Gocse Goslin's two-bagger, they stood by for two innings and watched th: Browns surge ahead. | Singles by Fred Schulte and Red Kress before Earl McNeely fouled out and Oscar Melillo's one-baser that followed accounted for the first of two alien runs in the second.

Two were out in the Browns' third round when a pass to Heinie Manush paved the way to their third run. Schuilte doubied to right and Manush scurried to the counting block ahead of | Bucky Harris' relay of Rice's return. More St. Louis scoring loomed in the fourth when McNeely scratched a single by Braxton and centinued to the mid- way station as Bob Reeves chucked | tlird, but the situation was eased when | Schang whiffed and entirely relieved when Gray drilled into a double play.
