Tuesday, May 6, 1924. Nats against Boston Red Sox, Fenway. Nats trying to get started again, after yesterday's bad loss. But, no. Maybe Griff needs to make Walter Johnson ten years younger and try to have him start every other day.
Paul Zahniser gave up a three runs in the bottom of the 1st on a double by Danny Clark, but the Nats nipped a run here and there, a closed to 5 - 4 in the top of the 8th. Then Firpo Marberry, pitching into his seventh inning of relief, then the sky fell in. Hits by Steve O'Neill, Dud Lee, Oscar Fuhr, and Bobby Veach drove in 7 runs. Bucky Harris replaced Firpo with Slim McGrew, who gave up another, and it was all over.
Zahniser was replaced by pinch-hitter Pinky Hargrave. He would be traded to Boston in 1926 and traded to a minor league team in St. Paul, MN. Then he was traded to Cincinnati for Bubbles Hargrave. Yes, Pinky and Bubbles were brothers.
Nats fall to "uncontested" 7th Place, at 8 - 11, 4.5 games behind the Yankees.
