New Talent Revives Interest in Nationals : Rain Postpones Championship Tennis Events 'WOODWARD IS CHEERED. | DESPITE BEING POUNDED Fans Protest Pitcher’s Removal, but Wisdom of Act Is Shown by 7-6 Win of Griffs Over Macks in Ten Innings. BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HAT base hall interest in the capital is far from dead despite the T son has but three weeks to run, was convincingly demonstrated at the Florida avenue plant vesterday when a crowd of close to 10,000 was agreeably surprised at seeing the Athletics upset, 7-6, in a ten-inning game that had much to recommend it from a spectator’s standpoint. recent sorry showing of the Nationals and the fact that the sea- | Griffs Get Third Baseman; Gleason Is Coming Back Another addition to the small army of reerults picked up by the Wawshington club has been made in the person of Third Baxeman Smith of the Be: mont club of the Texax League.

The fans know what the present gang is capable of and they want to see for themselves what the kids can do. Miller's Swat Decides It. Rice shared honors with Judge on the offensive vesterday, each driving in three runs and personally scoring another. but in handing out the hou- quets Miller cannot be overlooked. for i i vho produced the swat that meant victory for the National With the induction of Rommell, s ing with the third inning, the G carly punch completely disappeared. For séven rounds they were pra cally helpless. Then it happened—Rice led with a double down the third base line, took third on Stan Harris' scratch safety to Johnny Walker and romped home when Miller clouted to deep left. Tilly Walker took one glance at the ball and started for the clubhouse. Mackmen Take Lead. Woodward's first offering w: Jam med to left center for three bases b: Witt. who promptly scored on Dykes' long fiy to Miller. This advantage was short-lived. the Nationals chalking up a pair of tallies in their half. Bush led off by beating out a bunt Perkins made a fine play on. He streaked to third on Milan's double to right center and scored with Zeb when Judge rammed a safety to right The A's again forged to the front in_the second. when some well con- ceived Griffithian strategy went stray. Collins drew a walk at the outset, McCann scratched a hit on a bunt toward Judge and Galloway ad- vanced them via the sacrifice route. Johnny Walker was purposely passed here, fillinz the bases and bringi up the light-hitting Bryan The sought-for dual killing was in sight when the altitudinous flinger rolled softly toward second. but Stan - Tarris momentarily fumbled. He overed and flagged Bryan, but Col lins scored in the meantime. with M Cann_and J. Walker_following him to the platter when Witt came along with a line single to center. Griffs Get Busy Agnain With two gone in_the domestic half of the second the Nationals resumed right where they left off in the initial frame. ending the tenure of B. Harris by connecting for a quartet of swats and as many markers. Woodward was safe on his swinging bunt and coftinued to second when McCann got off a wild heave. Bush walked and Milan singled to left. filling the bases Judge's single off B. Harris' glove Tegistered Woodward, and Rice n- ed the still clogged runways with a wallop to the scoreboard for three bases. Sam was left when Collins zalloped a mile for Stanley Harris' long drive. Following two fruitless frames the Mackmen pulled up to within one run of the home guard in the fifth. Rom- mell's initlal sticking effort resulted in a clean single to right. He was forced by Witt, who advanced on a wild pitch and counted on a stiff single to center by Dykes. Visitors Knot the Count. In the next round the visitors knot- ted the count 2nd ended the regime of Woodward. _Collins rifled a safety to center at the outset, ambled to the midway on McCann's act of self-abne- gation and, after Galloway popped to Shanks, reached the counting block by reason of a real jolt to right by J. Walker, which was registered as a double when the ball caromed off Milan’s shins. Rommell left Walker on second. After round 2, with Ed_Rommell on the slab, the Nationals failed to get anywhere until the fatal tenth. Three scattered singles represented the sefforts of the locals in Rommell's first five sessions, while a Texas League double by Miller in the eighth and Milan's safety in the ninth were un- supported. In the four stanzas Zachary toiled.! after Woodward had given way to a pinch hitter who didn’t. the A's were limited to a pair of unbunched bingles, one of them a scratch affair.

Martin, president of the Southern Assocla- tion. Memphis and Forth Worth are each within one victory of the pen- | nant In their respective leagues and it is practically certain that they will be opponents in the post-season series. ‘resident Martin said he would Doak Roberts, president of the Toxas League, at Texarkana Tuesday or Wednesday to draw up the agree- ment for the series. It is sald to be probable that the series will open September 23 and be for the best five out of nine games. The locution of the first game will be decided by the toss of a coin.

In connection with his home running there is another interesting fact for the fans. He batted home runs for much of the duration of the season of 920 at the same pace with which he is batting them this year. If he had played the full number of games in 1920 he might have had his sixty home runs or more. He played only 142 games last season. which was a round dozen short of the complete schedule.

Caught on the Fly The Nationals will be idle today, the St. Louis Browns coming tomorrow for the first of two games, their final of the season with the locals. Rice made one of the most sensa- tional plays seen here this season in the first inning. Sam traveled under a full head of steam from left center over into right for Perkins' lusty liner, clutching it with one fin while fully extended. The wallop was tick- eted for three bases. Collins turned in a flelding feat that was but a trifle less spectacular than that of Rice in the second inning when he galloped back, as well as to one side, and snared a clout from the bat of Stanley Harris with his gloved hand. It cut off at least one run, as Rice ‘was roosting on third at the ime. Considering that the game went into overtime and the amount of sCOring. done, it was one of the shortest played at American League Park this season, requiring but a little more than an hour and a half. Bryan Harrig had a_distinctly off day. The bean-pole hurler usually gives the Griffmen all kinds of trouble, but he resembled the verlest busher yesterday, ylelding seven hits and half a dozen runs in the two frames he was allowed to linger. The Nationals again turned in an er- rorlesg game, their second in succes- sion, and have made twenty-seven hits in them. Good pitching is all Mc- Bride's aggregation needs. Yesterday marked the fifteenth ex- tra-inning _game the Nationals have played this year. One of.-them, with the Mackmen, in April, was a tie. They have won seven and lost as many of the others. The crowd voiced hearty approval when the defeat of the Yankees by Boston was recorded and cheered the posting of runs for the Indians..The New York club is far from popular with capital fans. —— BENNIE IS AMBITIOUS.
