Winning has become quite a habit with the Nationals lately, They have finished on the long end of the score in ten o it seems. heir last thirteen contests and their pace in the past cight days has been unusually speed Hardy hitting streaks have helped the Bushmen establish this record and these were features of the final battle with the Browns. Two hurl- ers were used by Lee Fohl, and both Elam Van Gilder, right-hander, and Shucks Pruett, left-hander, got theirs in_bunch Defensively Nationals re- fused to be even when sheir starting pltcher, Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary, had to retire under fire after permitting the Browns to undo all the good work his teammates had do in the first three innings. Russell Hurls Victory. Zach was dragged from the fray in the fourth ston, but his sue- cessor, Allen Russell, proved a master in the relief role in adding to his total of won games. When it came to punishing pitch- ers. the Nationals played no favorites. They punched Van Gilder, who started, for ten safeties, four of them being made in a row in the fifth inning be- fore a batter was retired. This was enough to drive Elam to the cooling showers. Pruett then toed the slab and was pounded for eight hits and all of the Nationals' tallies in excess ©of those made by the opposition. Zachary has found it difficult cently to last through a game. terday was the third time in suc- cession he had to have relief after opening a contest. He was unsteady from the start and in the fourth i ning the Browns fell upon him with a vengeance. They combed him for five wallops and three runs, enough to tie the game. two of the swats and all of the tallies being made after two of the visitors had been retired Russell was rushed into the breach and very capably held the Browns at bay while the home crew slugged its way to victory. Three Hits for Goslin. All except Peck, Zachary and Rus- sell participated in the Bushman's slashing attack. Goose Goslin led the lists with three hits, one of them a double, and as many runs, but Red Hargrave and Capt.” Bucky Harris were the men with the punch at crucial moments. Hargrave got into the battle when Muddy Ruel had to Jeave after taking on the knee a foul tip off Fred Schliebner's bat and with “two wicked ‘wallops drove in three tallies. The captain also reg- istered a pair of blows that chased in a trio of runs. There was punch aplenty in every inning of the game. In the first ses- slon, after two were out, the Browns threatened to become troublesome. Willlams boosted his batting record when he tapped to Peck and beat the Jatter's throw to first. Then Jacob- son was credited with a hit officially when he rolled to Gharrity and the first-sacker tossed to the uncovered second station for an intended force play against Willlams. Peck got to the bag just in time to grab the sphere and prevent possible further damage. These runners were strand- ed. however, for McManus lofted to Goslin re- Yes- Bushmen Score in Firat. In their portion of the frame the Nationals did more than threaten. Leibold drew a pass and advanced a notch as Kvans registered bunt single.

Peck end- ed_the inning with a fiy to Jacobsons The Browns did not bother Zach- ary to any extent in the next two sesslons, but the going was not so good for Van Gilder, who_ vielded an- other run in the third. Goslin open- ed that inning with a slam to center good_for two bases and reached third as Rice, with an extra burst of speed. converted a grounder to Schlichner near first into a single. Ruel forced Rice, but Goslin counted on_the play. The Browns had their big time in the fourth and before their turn at bat ended Zachayy was replaced by Russell and the game deadlocked. Five healthy hits bounced off the bat of the Fohlmen as they were making their trio of tallles. Jacobson began the attack with a single to center and after McManus had flied out went to third as Whaley slashed a one-baser along the right-field line. Collins lofted to Goslin, but Goos great throw to the plate made Jacob- son change his mind about scoring after the catch. Schliebner, though, snot a high one to left that became a triple when Goslin, after a hard run, just failed to grasp the ball firmly and Jacobson and Whaley romped home. A -single by Gerber put Schlieb- ‘ner across the plate and Zachary out of the game. Ezzell, first to face Russell, ended the Browns' rally by forcing Gerber. The fifth inning saw Van Gilder slammed out of the scene, the Na- tionals staging one of the startling batting rallies that have character- ized their attack the past few days. Evans, Goslin, Rice and Hargraves singled successively, the first two scoring and Rice reaching third. Here Pruett took Van Gilder’s place on the elab. Rice dented the plate with another Natfonal run when Harris ‘was thrown out. Peck drew a pass from Pruett, but Gharrity rolled to the pitcher and Gerber threw out Russell. Hargrave’s Clout Tells. Another National marker ~was registered in the sixth, Leibold's triple over Jacobson’s head and Rice's sacrifice fly to the Brown center- flelder producing it. Two were out in the eighth when Bush's outfit got its last pair of tallies. Goslin singled and pilfered gecond and Rice walked. Then Hargrmave walloped a double along the left fleld line, scoring his two teammates. While the Nationals were making ife miserable for Pruett, the Browns could do little against Russell. They bunched a pair of safeties in the fifth, but from then on placed but two runners on the paths, Collins strolling in the elghth and Pruett singling in the ninth. The hit opened the final inning, but ®0 effective was Russell. that the run- ner never left first, the next two bat- ters popping to infielders, while Wil- cancluded the engagement with ught Ry. pitcher, trapped Eva seven of eight games ending in their favor.

CAUGHT ON THE FLY Having disposed of the Tygers and the Browns in & handy manner, the Nationals will take a fling today at | the third western club to face them within the past eight days. Tris Speaker and his Indlans are here for games to be played thfs afternoon, tomorrow, Tuesday and Thursday. With the Tribe are Charlie Jamie- son, generally regarded as the most valuable player to a club this season; Frank Brower, who but las year sport- ed a National uniform, and Bobby Knode. formerly an athletic star at the Tniversity of Maryland. President Clark Grifith of the Na- tionals was presented with a silver cigar box vesterday by eoldier pa- tients of the Walter Reed Hospital. | The gift, bestowed just befoye the second game started, was the handi- work of vocational tsainees at the in- stitution. The maimed veterans of the world war at Walter Reed are great admirers of the Nationals’ chief, who for several seasons has granted them free admission to his club’s games. & w 0. A. E.

With Harris on first, Peck lined to left field. Williams came in toward the initial sack to retire Harrls, who had sprinted for second. But Ken's throw was wild and went to the barrier in front of the right- field boxes, so Harris again started for second.

HACKNEY TAKES CANADIAN OPEN GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP L AKE VIEW GOLF CLUB, TORONTO, August 4.—Clarence W. Hackney of Atlantic City, N. J,, today won the Canadian open golf championship with a card of 296 for seventy-two holes. His nearest rival was Tom Kerrigan of the Siwanoy Club, Mount Vernon, N, Y., who completed the round in 300 strokes. Gene Sarazen, the former United States open champion, was third | with 301 and Jock Hutchison, Chicago, fourth with 302. The tournament was a walkover for the Americans, all of the leading Canadian players fading from the picture in the earlier rounds. Hackney is the fifth American to win the title. It first came to the United States in 1812, when George Sargent beat a big field with 299. The late J. Douglas Edgar of Atlanta won it in 1919, and held it in 1 W. H. Trovinger of Birmingham, Mich.. won in 1921, and Al Watrous of Radford, Mich., won in 1: ‘Watrous did not compete this year.

That was the retirement of Joey, Evans in the Nationals’ only turn at bat and all of the Browns, except Rightfielder Duerst, were needed to get the doctor off the paths. . Evans was on third base and Goose Goslin on second, with one out, when Sam Rice sent a roller to MeManus near the middie sta- tion. Manux _first feinted a throw to first, then turned and tossed to Severeld at the plate to get Evans, who was dashing in. But Joey pulled up short and then the fun began. Severeld - threw to McManus in an effort to get Goslin, who had left second, but McManus had to return the ball to Severeid when Evans made another sprint for the plite. The catcher's relay to Fos- ter fafled to trap either Evans or Goslin and Severeid agaln got the sphere both before and after it went to Schiiebner, when an at- tempt was ' made to catch Rice running back to first. Then Willlams came in from left feld, Gerber from short, Kolp from the box and Jacobson from center to get into the play, and it was the last-mentioned player who tossed to Severeld just in time to permit the catcher to tag Evans a few feet from the plate.
