Four National pitchers went to the
s’ah during the endurance contest and
all hut one was manhandled. George
Murray never was especially good
from the start and retired under fire
in the fifth, leaving filled bases behind
him. Without loss of time the Red
Sox reached Fred Marberrv for a sock
that cleared the sacks and Fred he- j
came so Weak in the sixth that he I
had to give way to Bill Morrell. j
Bill was fortunate to get away with j
s mediocre exhibition until two were j
gone in the eighth. Then old man
Ptan Coveleskie. who had pitched a
reniarkahle nine innings only the day
before, came in to put the R-d Sox j
where they belonged.
Murray Was Lucky.
bff the first three hurlers the Red {
Pox got 15 safeties and nine passes:
Off Covey they got but one pass.
Murray was lucky enough to be
credited with the pitching victory, but j
after he had helped to reduce greatly
at} early National lead. Marberrv and j
Morrell managed to keep the game
close continually by' allowing the
Fohlmen to offset advantages the Na
tionals repeatedly accumulated with
17 hits and four passes at the ex
pense of a parade of Fohl's flingers.
Bryan Harrlss was first of the Red
Sox pitehing procession. Three in
nings were enough for him. They
netted the Nationals four runs, but
in the same rounds the Red Sox got
two off Murray. Fred Wingfield took
a shot at the Champs in the fourth
and was soundly trounced. Tony Wei
zer toiled in the next three frames,
and he did better than the pitching
of the opposition, for during that time
h« gave up Put three runs to seven
made off .Murray and Marberry.
