SP Babe Ruth and Yankees Play Today : Tommy Gibbons Has Many Backers in West § ORTS. TYGERS HERE TOMORROW FOR SET OF FOUR GAMES Nationals Appear to Be Staging Comeback By Tak- .ing Last Two Games From Macks—Hollings- worth Brilliant in Winning Final, 6-2. ¢ BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HE o'd saws about the worm a 1 nd the long lane now apparently are applicable to the Nationals, who have taken a long stride toward rehabilitation into the good graces of Washington fans, and if the showing they have made in their last two contests is maintained, it will | be but a short time until they are in solid again with their followers. _Not only has the pitcher who started been on deck at the finish in their most recent pair of battles, he has been given adequate support both on attack and defense, and, as a result, partisan home folk have been furnished with an excuse for ventin g a little enthusiasm. Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary was due to get an opportunity to parallel the recent feat of Johnson and Hollingsworth in going the route, in the single engagement listed with the Yankees this afternoon, when the Syrian Temple Band of Cincinnati was listed to enhance the attractive- ness of the base ball menu for a generous representation of the Shriners expected to visit the bail park. The musical organization represent- ing Oasis Temple of Charlotte, N. C, is carded to dispense jazzy tunes at the stadium tomorrow when T. Ray- mond Cobb and his menagerie of Detroit Tygers arrive for the first of four games marking the initial in- vasion of western clubs this season and daily thereafter during the con- clave one of the visiting bands will be assigned to the park. Grifts Beat A's In Final. A winning streak of a_couple of Fames, almost as remarkable for the Washington ball_club as two straight defeats for the Mackmen, was estab- lished yesterday, when the Nationals ook the fiinal of a set with the Ath- letics, 6 to 2. This gave the A's three it in the series of five and they hit the trail for home, the Browns are scheduled to open the invasion of western clubs tomorrow with a finger-nail hold on second place, due to the fact that the Indians obligingly dropped a slugging bee at Detroit The punching proclivities of the Mackmen, who as a rule this spring have made up with distance any neies in the number of their . were conspicuous by their ab- in the Sabbath battle, due to the sterling brand of slinging flashed by Jonkheer Baskerville worth, who surprised himself, his manager, his teammates and a_siz- able throng by traveling the route nst the mauling Mackmen, yleld- ing but five bingles and only one— count it, one—base on balls.” Jonk heer's customary quota of passes ranges from five to nine in about two. thirds of the distance he negotiated yesterday. Holly's mound maneuvers_were in direct contrast to those of R. Kellar Hasty. The gangling Georgian frank- ed but two of the home talent, ’tis true. but he overlooked the trifiing matter of preventing base blows from being achieved In conjunction with them and when he later became dis- astrously generous in the business of | yielding grouped bingles his term of toil was curtalled. Curley Ogden got his job and made an impressive debut in the seventh, but the Swarthmore graduate was not permitted to escape unscathed by the bristling Bushmen, who were hustling hard to make up some of the ground lost earlier in the campaign. Holly Makes Poor Start. The outlook for Hollligsworth was rosy at the outset, when safety over second, Ri- conda’s sacrifice, Perkins' death and a safety to center by Hauser put the Mackmen in the van, and the many supporters of the A’'s on hand were given further encouragement in the following frame when Galloway" double and_successive sacrifices b Welch and Scheer, the latter's a long fly to Goslin, netted them another counter. This was the extent of the damage accomplished by the White Elephants, however, as only four other visitors reached the runway. Miller was the benefictary of Holly's in the fourth and he was killed oft with Galloway in a double play. Ri- conda perished at second after get- ting a doubls with two down in the sixth. Welch got a life to no pur- pose when Bluege erred In the sev- enth and Miller's single in the ninth was unsupported Doubles by Rice and Leibold in the first and seco proved fruitless, but the Bushmen tied it up in the third. Hollingsworth strolled for a starter. Rice and Peck both lofted, but Goslin's bounder over Scheer's head and a gave Bluege the setting of a full house and the with a line single to center that cashed a pair of his playmates. A Gift From Galloway. The tally attained by Rice in the fifth practically was a gift from Galloway, for his wild heave put Sammy on second and he negotiated the remainder of the distance on Peck’s sacrifice and Goslin's infleld Hollings- | only free ticket! d innings. respectively, | pass to Judge| | HIS MAKES TWO STRAIGH | PHILADELPHIA. 1+ Matthew: T . . 1 Bcheer, | Hasty, p. | Ogden, p. |.ow slin, f.‘v !

Leibold’s twobagger in the second was a low liner on which Matthews |just failed to make a shoestring catch.

Goslin retired the As without as- istance in the sixth, Mathews, Per- ins ana Hauser all lifting to him, with Riconda’s double sandwiched in between.

The latter, in turn, scored on single to the same sector by Ruel. Ogden’s pass to Harris and ono-base blows by Ruel and Rice accounted for the final tally in round 8. HAUSER GETS INTO RACE FOR HOME-RUN HONORS Joe Hauser, first baseman of the Athletics, whose hitting is a big fac- tor in the rush of his team toward the top, made a strong bid last week for the home-run honors when he smashed out four circuit clouts. Hauser's performance puts him only one behind Ken Williams, and three less than Babe Ruth, who is leading the league with eleven. Cy Williams, veteranvof the Phil- lies, cracked out his nineteenth four- bagger last week in the National League, and is leading all the home- run sluggers.

In a statement Promoter Mullen said receipts were $54,175, while ex- penses were $54,150.65, leaving $24.35 for equipment for a gymnasium for a boys' club, for which the proceeds Wwere to go.
