SEVEN HOME RUNS IN SIX ‘[ PARKS GOOSE'S MARK NOW ‘Age Triumphs Over Youth in First Boston Engage- ment, Quinn Yielding But Three Hits, While Red Sox Pound Mitchell and Sedgewick. B raised to six the number of Ameri BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON, July 25—When Gpose Goslin walléped Jack Quinn for a homer yesterday in the seventh inning of the game at Fenway Park, he boosted his season total of.four-base hits to seven and can League fields in ‘which he has crashed circuit drives since the béginning of the 1923 campaign. The only towns in which the Goose has not prowess this year are New York and thrilled onlookers with his batting Cleveland. Few Nationals are given to home-run hitting and Goose has clouted more than a third of the lot credited to his ¢lub. Sam Rice, with three, is next to Biuege, Roger Peckinpaugh and Di batted two each, and Nemo Leibold, Gharrity, one each. That drive of Goslin's yesterday over center field and landing near t! Goslin, while Stanley Harris, Oswald ick Wade, former Bushmau, have since joining the Nationals, and Pat was a tremendous one, sailing high he top of the spacious bleachers at the end of Fenway Park. A similar drive in the park at Washington ould clear the top of the big scoreboard. Quinn had a count of two strikes e 1inst’ Goose when the latter sent seazing and saved the nals from & coat of whitewash. [he only other time this season a t.fllnnnl shut-out was averted by a omer was in New York on April 25, when Rice made the tally. ‘Three times this year the Bushmen Qave, made two cireuit hits in a ¥ame. This feat was accomplished wt Detroit on May §, and at home egainst the Athletics on June 24, and the Red Sox on July 1. List of Grifian Homers, A complete list of the Nationals' home runs this season and the pitch- ers yielding them follows: Goslin® at Philadelphia, April. 20 (Heimach); at Detroit, May 8 (S.

Age Triumphs Over Youth. ¥outh and age were mound oppo- nems vesterday in the first of the four garres heduled between the Na- als and the Red Sox here and évut‘\ in the persons of Monroe itchell and Kenneth Sedgewick, ush’'s recruit flingers, got the worst | ©of the encounter. The pair granted eleven hits and five bases on balls for six runs, Mitchell, who started, being the main offendar. Eight of the safe- ties, three of the passes and five of the Red Sox tallie® occured in his four and two-thirds innings of work. Old Jack Quinn toed the slab for the home crowd and made the Nationals appear like novices at bat, holding them to a trio of bingles. ~Through six innings all they got in the way of a swat was Leibold’s scratch to McMillan that started the fourth ses- sion, and that clout was very ques- tionable, for the Red Sox shortstop after fielding the ball cleanly threw high to Burns, the sphere and the runner reaching first at the same time. Only Five Griffs Get O; With one down in the seventh, Goslin got his circult wallop. The Jast of the three blows garnered off the veteran was a double by Gharrity, who batted for Sedgewick in the ninth. All_told, only five Bushmen got_on the bases. 1t was different with the Red Sox. Joe Harris' single and McMillan's double gave them a marker in the second. In the fourth McMillan's tap that forced out Shanks and a pass to Fewster put on the bases two runs that were driven in when Pic- inich hit a two baser, and after Flag- strolled Burns, with a triple, two more. Joe Harris') smash that opened the fourth inning and Shanks' long fly to Rice accounted for the final Red Sox ta l CAUGHT ON THE FLY., Peckinpaugh probably robbed Flag- stead of a hit in the third inning when | hie went back to the grass to slap down the latter's bounder and made a short throw to Hargrave just in time to retire Picinich coming up} from second base.

An appeal to Evans, foliowing a Red Box protest, brought from Billy the answer, “Positively no.” A couple of protests on similar decisions regis- tered later by Bush were ignored by Hildebrand. Joe Harris waws fortunate to get a triple with his slam in the fifth in- ning. The ball was traveling to- ward right fleld, with Rice In posi- tion for a stop that would have given ‘the batter but a single, when it struck a rough spot amd bounded over Sam's head to the stands.

July 25.—Great ex- citement prevailed in Shibe Park, Philadelphia, - yesterday, when the Yankees trimmed the Athletics, 9 to 2. As the game ended a shouting mob of fans rushed over the field and assaulted Dick Nallin, base um- pire. City police hurried to his as- sistance*and saved him from rough treatment. The fans objected to his decision when Whitey Witt singled to left fleld in the seventh inning. Walker made an effort to nip the ball and argued eloquently when Nallln declared he had caught it on a short hop. During the game Babe Ruth knocked his twenty-third homer and tled Cy Williams for the lead. The Cincinnati Reds. playing in Cincinnati, beat the Cardinals, 7 to 4, thereby starting on another race after the lcague-leading Glants, who were idle. The only other game scheduled in the Natlonal League— Chicago-Pittsburgh—was called be- cause of wet grounds. The Indizns and the Browns di- vided a double-header in St. Louls, the Browns winning the first, 3 to 1, and losing the second, 3 to 2, in thir- teen innings. In the first game Mc- Manus' home run after Williams had singled decided the issue. Brower | scored thé Cleveland run when he hit a homer in the seventh. Tobin tled the scors when he duplicated the feat in the Erowns’ half. In Chicago Detroit took & double- header, winning, 4 to 1 and 9 to 6. The White Sox were unable to hit Pillette in the first game. Heillmann scored his fourteenth homer of the | season. H TYGERS TAKE TWO. (AT CHICAGO.) (FIRST GAME.)

Among a variety of brilliant performances, these new high marks s he game’s annals: cord, which on May 24 reached 1.74 cclipsing the total of 1,740 amassed Grover Alexnader’s achievement i uing a base on balls; a mark of te: the St. Louis Cardinals and Phillie. on May 11, and the new American League standard for single-game ru scoring, when Cleveland overwhelmed Boston, 27 to 3, on July 7. One mark that stands out as close to Impregnable is Babe Ruth's record of fifty-nine home runs, established in 1921. Despite the reputed live liness of the ball, Ruth as well as his rival sluggers this season are wel behind the record Cy Willlams of the Phillies, who looms as Ruth’s chief rival for hom runs this season, equaled a modern? major league record early in the sea son when he laced out three homer in a single game. Other noteworthy feats recorded s far include: Six hits in six times at bat by Jacques Fournier of Brookl passing of 1,000 mark in consecutively played games by Everett Scott Yankee shortstop: fifteen batsmen struck out by Dazzy Vance of Brook- Iyn in a game with the Giants twenty-eight scoreless innings pitch- ed by Coveleskie of Cleveland.
