SPORTS. McBride and Griffith Read the Riot Act to Nationals and Immediately Get Results GHARRITY AND MILAN SWAT TEAM TO FRONT BY DENMAN THOMPSON. T. LOUIS. May 20.—After having the riot act read to them by both S Manager McBride and President Griffith, the Nationals yesterday took a brace, and, although outbatted by the Browns, bunched their blows with such effectiveness as to offset a far from impressive hurling exhibition by Zachary and register a win by the count of 8 to 5. Griff and Mac both talked to the boys like Dutch uncles following the trim- | ming they received Wednesday, when they appeared to quit after the enemy piled up seven runs in the first inning. The boys took the lectures to heart THE JINX IS CHASED and proceeded to punish a trio of St Louis pitchers, starting with the vet- eran, Bernie Boland, who never en- | joyed much success against the Wash- ington team in all the years he was| WASHINGTON. a member of the Tigers.

Pirates, Cubs, Cards and Braves scored victories vesterday in the Na- tional League. The Pittsburgh outfit beat the league champion Dodgers for the second successive time, and the Cubs shattered the Giants' victory streak. The New Yorkers had won eight straight. The Cards drubbed the Phils in eleven innings and the Braves easily thrashed the Reds. It was a”free-hitting contest that the Pirates took from the Dodgers with a 7-to-5 score. The winners made fourteen safeties against ten for the losers. Tierney clouted for the circuit. Jim York, who relieved Pitcher Cheeves in the third inning, held the Giants to three hits and fanned eight batters. Woung was his victim three times. As a result the Cubs won, 5 to Betts, Philly pitcher. hurled the last two innings against the Cards, striking out two batters and yielding no hits or passes, yet he was charged with the defeat. In the eleventh Lebourveau made a two-base error that was followed by a sacrifice bunt and a sacrifice fly for the decisive run. The Braves recorded their loury| straight victory by batting Marquard hard and drubbing the Reds, 5 to 1. hits. one of which was a homer by Powell. SOUTH ATLANTIC ASSOCIATION.

May 20.—Club owners of the National League, meeting here, favored a regulation permitting the pitcher to apply a touch of resin to the tips of his fingers to insure a better grip on the ball and improve his control. If this recommendation meets with American League approval, it was stated, the umpires would be charged with its supervision and would place a small bag of resin near the pitcher's box before each game. The difference of opinion between the major leagues as to the proper con- struction of the player-limit rule, espe- cially the number who can be placed with minor league clubs with the right of recall, will be referred to Commis- sioner Landis for adjustment. A proposal to reduce team batting practice before games from thirty to | twenty minutes was referred to clubs for a mail vote. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.

FOSTER EW YORK, May 20.—Chastened by the paw that fed them. because the Cubs got even on the Giants yesterday for the game that they gave to them the day before, the winning streak of New York was severed before it became a menace. Visions were dreamed by the imaginative Giant fans of another of those famous successive victory runs for the Manhattan athletes like some made in the past which have helped to carry them to victory. It was a big winning for Chicago in behalf of Pittsburgh. because the Pirates ripped through the poor Brooklyns again and gained a full game on the Giants. Pittsburgh and cago reported that the Boston Braves gave them as to get initiated in so many in the south. The eminent authomty who asserted that Kelly's home runs were made be- cause the pitchers delivered the ball low to him may guess again.
