The Nationals got this run back in the second, when Gharrity opened with a safety, was advanced to third by Zachary and Judge and tallied on a double to right by Milan, who was erased trying to stretch it. Yanks Pat Four Over. The Yanks hopped into a lead of one run in their half by bombarding Zach in hearty fashion for a quartet of tallies and ending his regime. With one way, Ward singled and Schang dittoed. Piercy doubled down the left field line, scoring Ward and g-ading Schang to third. Fewster fouled to Shanks, but Peck scored Schang amd Piercy with a safety that netted him two bases when Rice fumbled. He tallied on Ruth’s single. Babe died stealing.

Joe speared the ball with a high dive and tagged the base while sprawled full length on the ground. Gharrity got only one base on a clout which struck the leftfleld fence on the fly in round 2. The ball bounded back directly into Ruth’s hands._ Milan varied his usual fumbling tac- tics in flelding Schang’s single in the second. Zeb froze on to the ball, but stumbled and fell. Judge saved Shanks an error in the fifth when he stretched at full length to get Hank's peg of Bodie's offerng with one hand.

He was cool. and crafty, and had plenty of the “stuft” that makes pitching efficienc As far back as 1906 he was a star of a world’s series, fighting with Comiskey's White Sox against the Chicago Cubs He was noted, aside from his base ball pitching, as being the homeliest man in the game. Like other ball players, Altrock lost his big league efficiency. He played for a time in the minors, refuge of the worn-out big leaguers. Presently he could not keep up even in that company. It seemed to be base ball oblivion for old Nick when Clark Griffith, a serious man, decided that a little humor would not harm the game. He engaged Nick, ostensibly as a coach, but really to provide amuse- ment for the crowds and the play ers. In the past few years Altrock's antics on_the coaching lines, and his queer line of patter, have made millions laugh. Men and women are but grown- up children. The child loves the clown. So Altrock has become the favorite of all who go to the ball games to see the Washington club play. Base ball is but an entertain- ment. Altrock adds to that enter- tainment. His humor is always clean, never offensive. We could stand a lot more of this kind of humor in other entertainment than base ball. DODGERS SWEEP SERIES Defeat Giants Four in a Row for Eighth Straight Win—Phils Clout Homers. Dodgers and Phillies were success- ful yesterday in National League con- flicts. The former recorded their eighth straight victory and the fourth over the Giants, cleaning up the se- ries. The Phillies were in home-run- hitting form and gave the Braves a sound drubbing. Four hits were all the Dodgers could glean from the combined deliveries of Ryan and Sallee, but three of the blows were clustered in the seventh inning and produced the runs that beat the Giants, 2 to 1. Ruether never was troubled by the McGrawites after the second frame. Three home runs were registered by the Phils in beating the Braves, 11 to I 6. One by Ralph Miller cleared filled sacles in_the first inning, and another by Lee Meadows did the same trick fn the eighth. Between these Wil- liams slammed for the circuit. Scott was the victim of this batting melee. ‘White Sox KTongh Luck.
