‘Base Ball, Ring, Golf ‘ Duckpins, Lacrosse Part 5——4 Pages Late Red Sox Rallies Beat Griffs, 6—5 : Mercersburg Captures Track Laurels: HUBMEN TIE IN8TH, SCORETWOINTH Helped by Jones’ Wildness, but Win Off Burke—Nats Fizzle at Finish. BY JOHN B. KELLER. FTER battling the Red Sox regu- lars to a standstill in Grifiith Stadium yesterday, the Na- tionals were unable to cope with the Boston reserve in the ninth and went down to their third defeat in four starts in this voung American League campaign. Wash- ington, too, called on its reserve in the dying moments of the fray, but the sscond-stringers were unequal to the occasion and the game slipped to the invaders, 6 to 5. It was a two-base hit by Jerry Standaert, who had grabbed Bill Bayne's bat, that licked the Nationals. ‘There were two Red Sox on and two out in the ninth when Jerty smote the ball to the depths of right-center field and two runners dented the plate to shatter a tie that had been created by the visitors with a two-tally rally in the preceding inning. Jerry tried to make his drive good for a triple, only to run into the final out of thesround at third base, bul ~ made no difference. All the Nationals could do in their final turn was get one run with two passes and as many sacrifices, which left them shy of the Beantown bunch’s total. It wasn't a particularly free-hitting game, this see-saw battle that saw each team hold the lead in the first seven sessions. ‘The Red Sox collected but nine safeties off the two local hurlers, but the Nationals got only six hits off a trio of visiting flingers. The Red Sox did not waste a blow, however, and only one of the Washington wallops went for naught. . Jones' Wild Inning Hurts. Sam Jones and Jack Russell were opposing pitchers at the outset of hos- tilities, and had Jones not lost the lo- cation of the plate after his club by hard work had gone to the front, he might have gone on to his initial vic- tory of the campaign instead of turning over the game after eight innings to Bob Burke, who soon became a loser. The Red Sox clustered two hits in Round 2 for a tally and repeated the performance in Round 3. Then Jones went along well, while the Nationals got to Russell in the fifth to deadlock the game and, helped by Shortstop Harold Rhyne's erratic fielding, went ahead in the seventh. Jones, though, apparently could not stand prosperity. He lost control in the eighth, and be- fore he could regain his poise the vis- itors had drawn two passes and made d use of both. mgm Bayne, southpaw, faced the Na- tionals when they came up for their M Rellly of Central ‘(on left) win- high school 100-yard dash.

Brown got the first man to face him, then came a pass and a brace of two-baggers for two more tallies be- fore the inning ended.
