SPORTS. 9 Hits Mean Little to Nationals : Ruth’s Swatting Makes Many Base Ball Fans CLEVER WORK WITH STICK IS MINIMIZED BY FAULTS Hollingsworth Is Unsteady and Teammates Give Him Erratic Backing, as Macks With Only Few Safeties Take Third Straight. BY DENMAN THOMPSON P HILADELPHIA, April 21.—That plenty of hits in themselves mean nothing unless they are properly placed and that effectiveness in preventing bingles does not necessarily spell success for a hurler if control and good support are lacking was strikingly demonstrated in the third straight reverse suffered by the Natiowals yesterday at the | hands of the marauding Mackmen. Making his American Leaguc debut as a flinger for the Bushmen, Jack Hollingsworth yielded but three scattered singles in seven rounds., but he was made to realize he has much to learn about watching the bases, winged a pair of the Athletics, walked five others and suffered on three oc sions from fielding deficiencies on the part of his mates, with the result that five tallies were chalked up against him. hand, the Macklets, although outhit by a ratio of nearly three to one, just tripled the number of tallies registered by the Griffs, copping by a count of 6 to 2. In only a single frame did the Bush- ers fail but, aside from a pair of doubles grouped when the battle was all but over and a boundary topping swat by Goslin early in the fray, their hits off Lefty Heimach didn't mean any- thing. O0S for instance, after starting with a Ruthian rap in round 2, failed to get a ball out of the in- eld on his next four trips to the pan, ‘ming up three times with mates on #head of him and whiffing inglori- ously for the final out. Fail to Make Hits Count. In the opening game the Nationals made one run for Johnson on four hits. whila the Athletics got three counters on six blows. In the second contest nine safeties produced two runs, while the ten hits Mogridge vielded wero good for a quartet of markers, due in a measure to George's unstéadiness. Yesterday the visitors amassed eleven hits, including a home run and three doubles, yet got but two tallies, while their rivals ac- auired half a dozen runs on_but four bingles. At that ratio the Nationals may be blanked today if they con- trive to obtain about fifteen safeties, while the Athletics should register at least three runs for every bingle. Hollingsworth displayed plenty of steam on his fast ball and a sharp breaking hook. His inexperience at pitching with runners on the bases were costly, however, and so was his wildness, for three of the gratu- itous tickets to first that he issued Wwere cashed, and only Conroy's wild heave of the four errors committed back of him failed to prove a factor in the scoring. Fumbles by Harris and Rice and Goslin's wild throw all being costly. Bing Miller Bingles. The stage was set for the Athletics rally in the third without anything resembling a bingle being achieved. With one gone Harris let Perkins' rap roll through his legs, Riconda was given his base when a fast ball grazed his shirt and the sa. jammed when Rice Dy Hauser directly Tt was here that the only bingle of t per just out of P cashed two of the A Hollingsworth then whiffed Gallo- way in impressive fashion, but Hau- ser stole third while he was doing it_and the Minneapolis rookie’s in- experience was apparent a moment later when he became confused as Hauser and Miller essayed the doubie steal, holding the ball until too late to nip Hauser at the plate. This slip failed to upset Holly, however, he then proceeded to hook a third strike over on Welch. Harris had a chance to Bushman back in the game in the following round when he came up with the bases loaded on Heimach's muff of Conroy’s pop, Peck's single and a walk to Rice, but the captain failed when he permitted a third strike to sail by. It was a good one, too. ng Miller binge round, a hop- reach that put the Hollingsworth Alds Enemy. Hollingsworth's unsteadiness paved the way for the pair of counters reg- istered by the A's in the sixth, al- though only one run would have re- sulted, but for an unfortunate break that caused Goslin to be charged with an error. “As a result of walks, Hel- mach and Matthews were on second #nd first, respectively, when Perkins rifiled single tc left that cashed the hurler. Goslin retrieved the ball and when his heave plateward struck Matthews golng into third and bound- €d to the stands, the peppery out- fielder also counted. Goslin proved unequal to the emer- gency when offered an opportunity to do something for his cause in the venth. Rice opened with a bingle and was forced by Judge, after Harris popped foul, but Josephus took third on Evans' single to center and Joey reached the midway on the throw-in A blow at this juncture would have meant two runs, but the Goose suc- ceded only in rolling weakly to the box. Russell was given a warm recep- tion when he went to the hill in_place of Hollingsworth in th ghth, Welch greeting him with a_screaming home run drive into the left field bleachers, It looked as if the A’'s run total might be still further augmented when Dykes reached second on Conroy's wild heave and Heimach sacrificed, but when Matthews missed conne tions on the squeeze play Dykes w easily trapped. Doubles by Harris and Ilvans gave the Griffs their se ond tally in the final frame. Both were wicked wallops. Bucky's came after Rice had been disposed of. It carried on a line against the barrier in left and he tallied, after Judge popped. when Evans propelled an even longer clout to left center. Gos- lin then wound up his day, opened so auspiciously, by missing three swings. GENEROSITY Phila. AB. Ma’hows, cf Perkins,c.. Rioonde,3b, Hauser.ib, Miller, 1.

Babe Ruth again aided the New York Yankees in maintaining a spot- less standing, when, with the bases full in the ninth, and one run behind, he shot out a two-bagger that sent the winning run over. The Boston Americans had maintained the lead from the first inning, when three Red Sox scored. Ruth got a single, a double and a triple and maintained his batting average of .600. The Giants lost their first game of the season. but maintained their lead in the National when the Braves went on the war path.

The St. Louis Cardinals used every one but the bat boy to stay the on- rush of Cincinnati, but the Reds put seven runs across in the fourth and won handily. Philadelphia. and Brooklyn staged another fast finish, but the Phillies won out in the ninth. Williams of Philadelphia got four hits, two singles, a triple and a homer in five attempts.

U.| ARE PLAYING MATCH NEW YORK, April 21.—Disregarding the order of the Amateur Athletic Union to the effect that no American athlete can compete abroad this year, Charlic Paddock of the University of Southern California sailed yesterday for Paris with the intention of racing in an international intercollegiate meet at the French capital next month. It will be remembered that Paddock, the king of sprinters, was more than half way across the continent on the first leg of his long journey when the A, A. U. announced its stop rule. At that time the “Tribune predicted that Paddock would go through with his agree- ment with the foreign promoters regardless of the consequences. Paddock has already used a large part of the expense money which the promoters forwarded to him and feels that he is honor bound to keep his promise to compete. “I do not see how the A. A. U. can take action against me in this particular case,” said the blond Californian. “I had left home three days before the ruling was announced, and, furthermore, the Yale-Harvard team will be allowed to compete in London, and if the big ‘Big Three’ can be exempted why not a member of the University of California? “Of course, I am not certain that the University of Paris will allow me to race, in view of the A. A.

In a report made at the convention of the Middle West Society of Physical Education, the commission declared women were not yet ready for intercollegiate or intcrnational contests. In support. of its stand, the commission urged that facilities for training women for athictic contests were stiil far below those enjoyed by men and that adequate representation could not be ob- tained until these facilitics were further enlarged and systematized. ] le the | +!

INSIDE GOLF By Georee O'Neil While I am opposed to any muke-shift that has as a part of it a changing of the stance, it ix nd- visable in certain efforts to slight- 1y change the position of the feet wiile making the shot. You can hook a ball hy xop! ing the left fcot that your toe points directly mhead, toward the ball. You understand that the po- sition of the foot has little to do ‘with the hooking of the ball—the wrists do that but the 00t po tion will sometimes make the re- It better for you. When you seek to slice a ball, by shooting the right wrist under ax the club- head goes through the ball, the effect can sometimes be made bet- ter by turning the toes outward an you stand in the stance. Do not turn them wo far as to make Your position uncomfortable. Small movements of the feet become of mreat consequence If the move- ments vary your stance by enough margin to change your comfort enme into discomfort and muscle tightness. While many players obtain hooks and slices by altering the stance, the wrist rolling is muck better because when the stance fx changed you are likely to lose your accuxtomed comfort, while you are almost sure to reach for the ball instead of walting for the club to do ftx work. The mind controls the rolling of the wrists. Determine that you want to roll them one way or the other, then let the mind do the rest of it. Don't try to roll them consclously. The action ix too fast for that. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) HUNTER BEATS VOSHELL IN NET TOURNEY FINAL | WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, Va., April 21L.—In a grueling five-set match vesterday Francis T.

At Yankee field there is no upper stand. The right field stand is simply a common wooden bleacher stand. It has a low barrier in front of it. A hit can't quite bound over the barrie unless it takes a tremendous hoj skip and jump. A hit can drop int it with ease. Given a wind blowing gale, nor’-nor'east, and any wicke smash is likely to drop in.
