12 SPORTS. MACKS TO TIE IN NINTH 3 to 2, Instead of Game Ending With Count Three Apiece. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HILADELPHIA, Pa. April 30—They're out in front again, those P Nationals, but they can take little credit to themselves for the fact. Thanks are due Urban Faber and his supporting cast of White Sox who rebuffed the Indians at Comiskey Park, for ail the Griffs could ac complish in their first appearance of the year in Philadelphia was to hold the Mackmen to a 3-3 draw in ten innings. The advantage they now have over Cleveland is more apparent in figures than real, although twenty-five percentage points separate them. But for This Miscue, Johnson Would Have Won,l Obtaining the jump on their op- ponents and holding it until the ninth proved too much of a departure from custom for McBride's men. They felt out of place as front runners, and as the shades of eve were falling on a battle, pl for the most part in a| { | drizzle, they all but kicked the game away, Frank O'Rourke doing the picking [ Johnson Pitches Wel !

Rommell was combed for_a pair of | tallies in the sixth, Rice, Harris and Shanks supplying the punch.

Harris uncorked a single o left toscore Rice, and Lewis tallied from second on Shanks’ safety to the same territory. Harris made third and Shanks kept on to second when Welsh fumbled in retrieving the ball, but de- spite the fact there was no one out, | no more tallies materialized. First, O'Rourke pop fouled to Dugan, then Harris was cut down at the plate on Picinich’s rap to Galloway and the lat- ter was forced by Johnson. The A’s horned into the run column the first time in the sixth. Dykes ..drew a pass at the outset and stole sec- ond as Witt whiffed, Picinich's peg be- ing poor. He scored on a clean single to right by Dugan. The latter was forced at second and O'Rourke backed uD to take Frank Walker's fly. Dykes Makes Fancy Play. A fancy play by Dkyes prevented the Nationals from scoring in the ninth. With O'Rourke out of the way Pici- nich singled and was safe at second when Galloway fumbled Johnson's hopper. Dykes then galloped over close to first to snare Judge's crash with one fin and flag Joe. Milan loft- ed to Witt Dykes’ bit of burglary hurt. 100, as the A’s knotted the count in the domestic | end of the frame with some assistance from O'Rourke, and but for Johnson's pitching prowes in the pinch would have copped then and there. The Walker boys—Clarence and Frank— both emitted singles, and Perkins moved them up with a sacrifice. Tilly tallied when O'Rourke fumbled Grif- fin's roller, Frank Walker taking | third and _scoring on Galloway's | safety to right. O'Rourke relayed | Milan's throw to Shanks before Grif- fin slid into third, but Moriarity ruled Hank failed to touch him. Galloway swiped second. aided by Picinich's passed ball, and then Johnson bore down and fanned both pinch hitter | Myatt and Dykes. ffs Threaten in Tenth. Facing Scott Perry in the tenth, the Nationals made a bold effort to score. Rice was climinated via the fly route when Lewis waited for a pass and went $0 second on Harrig' stinging safety to center. Shanks crashed a wicked liner to the box which Perry grabbed and tossed to Dykes to dou- ble up Lewis. O'Rourke gave the boys nervous chills when he fumbled Dugan's cra with one out in the rear end of this round, but he mantged to grab Tilly Walkeér's hopper in time to force Du- gan.'and he tossed out Frank Walker, whereupon Tommy Connolly squinted at the gloom through the mist, be- | | thought himself of i dinner engage- ment and terminated hostilities.

ORourke couldn’t heip him 1. Rice made a great one-hand catch of Dugan's liner in the fourth atter misjudging the ball. It started to rain in the fourth and game was deiayed for a few minutes when the fans in the left-field bleach- | ers swarmed across the field seeking the cover of the pavilions. Judge’s unsupported double in the fifth was a Texas leaguer to left that bounced off Welch's shin. Welch's boot of Shanks’ safety in the sixth, following his failure to get Hank's fly in the 1ourth and his poor handling of Judge's swut in the fift got the fans onto his neck and they velled for Clarence Walker. Mack heeded the demand and sent Tilly in to bat for him in the sixth. Milan had some luck in escaping an error at this juncture. Dugan was on first when Tilly raised a short fly to right. Milan dropped the ball, but recovered and tossed to Harris, who ferried it to O'Rourke at second in time to force Dugan. the pastime dre: euchring his team out of victory he gave the boys heart failure by then ;committed still another fumble, but pulled some acrobatics to nullify it. His second beneficiary, Dugan, was on first in the final trame, when Tilly Walker rapped into his domain. Frank gave the ball an awful battle and finally went to the mat with it, getting off a backhand toss to Harris while lying on his tummy to force Dugan at the keystone. Mickey then ended the battle by throwing out Frank Walker from deep short. Billy Richardson was among those present. The e president of the ationals bounced all around the grandstand, pulling for his boys to win, and after the game visited the clubhouse and congratulated them on averting defeat. Walter Johnson and Secretary Eynon boarded a train for Washing- ton after the battle, the former for a little vacation with the family, and the latter to subtract advances from salary checks. The ghost walks Sun- day for the first time this season. Dick Richards, Washington busi- ness man and 33d degree fan, who came, up_here for a rest, has been impressed into service as business manager pro tem. and will chaperon the gang back to the capital this evening. The Nationals became so noisy on the bench when they started their rally in the tenth that Ump Con- nolly had to threaten to run them all out of the park before they could be toned down. Rice’s single in the opener was a puny affair—a topped drive to Dugan, which he easily beat out. Fading though he was in the ninth, Johnson had enough stuff left to whiff both Myatt and Dykes with aliens roosting on third ard second. ‘The double play Pefry started to snuff the Griffs in the tenth was due more to luck than good management. Shanks’ drive was aimed at the pitch- ers ghoe tops. He stuck his hands down and the ball chanced to shoot into them. Jose Acosta probably will get his first chance of the current season to start a ball game this afternoon. Roy ! Moore, the only left-hander on Con- nie Mack’s pay roll, may be his op- ponent. Rice, Harris, Shanks and Picinich arrogated to themselves all the of- fensive work, their bingles account- ing for Washington’s three runs.

At the end of the match the ama teur champion had enthusiastic com- ments on the President’s sportsman- ship and keen quality of analysis for “His only grave fault,” Evans said, “is that of dragging his clubface across the ball, thus’ imparting a slice. He putts well and is steady on his approach shots.” The President, however, failed to live up to his reputation as a_good putter, for he missed a four-footer on the eighteenth hole to tie his bril- liant partner after he had made a fine pitch shot practically dead to the pin. President Harding's only really bad hole came at the twelfth, where he began by topping his tee shot, finally getting in the bunker guarding the green in six, where he played a good many more before picking up his ball and resigning the hole. At this hole he evolved a successor to the famous Wilsonian “Tut-tut”” when he said, “Bah, I looked up,” after topping a coupie of shots in the high grass. Evans had two fours on the fifteenth and sixteenth, for a 75. TERMINAL IES START Shops and Transportation Are to Meet in First Contest at Union Station Field.

The races will be for varsity, sec- ond varsity and freshmen eights. Particular interest centers in the outcome of the varsity event, because of the confidence of the Quakers fol- lowing their recent victory over Yale and in the face of the fact that eight of the men in the Navy boat rowed in the world’s championship race at the Olympics last summer.
