TEXAN SHOWS “IRON MAN” QUALITIES FOR THE GRIFFS Saves Day for the Nationals Again Yesterday, When They Defeat Athletics, 3 to 2, in Twelve In- nings—Matthews Shines. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, June 21.—Young Fred Marberry may not be mak- ing such a wonderful won-and-lost record as a pitcher for the Nationals this season, but this strapping fellow from the wilds of Texas certainly is proving himself to be an iron man as a relief hurler, Now Harris' moundsmen begins to waver, and this has been happening all too frequently of late, Marberry is called to the rescue, and generally the clubs of the encmy immediately become usele: ason Marberry has acted as relief hurler twelve times, ed the opposition so effectively that the P and a very dependable one, too So far this s and on eight oc contests have gone sions has chec road, the husky 7 the Griff dependablc . berry that has been rushed to the St three en- So wobbly have most of hurlers does Harris the big fellow hill to finish his club's | gagements.

Fred fanned Dykes, but Peck fumbled Welch's easy roller and the bases were filled. But the best Hauser, ean-up batt could get off the relief hurler was a soft loft to_Rice. Naylor's hurling had the baffled until the fourth frame, they broke into the run column. Mat- thews started the run-making with & single between Hauser and Bishop. Harris fanned, but with Goslin at bat Wid worked a delayed steal and got to third when Goose was thrown out by Bishop, Ruel then put Matty across with a single to left. Bluege followed with a walk, but was forced out by Peck. In the sixth handed their scoring but Th. the of Gal- Nationals when the Harrismen were second tally by th generous or.

It was Zahniser's turn to be hi hearted in the Macks' part of the sixth. After Galloway lined to Peck. Paul walked Strunk, who batted for Naylor, and Bishop, then Riconda poled a double to left that counted Strunk. Welch's tainted single weak tap that was pushed into the ground by the pitcher, sent Bishop home, Riconda to third and Zahniser out of the game. R 11 went to the hill and Joaded th: ks with a pass to Hauser, but Simmons slam- med into a two-ply killing. From then on to the finish in the twelfth inning the game was a ding-dong af- fair. CAUGHT ON THE FLY Wid Matthews came back to Phila- delphia in splendid The Mack cast-off grabbed the Nationals from Milwaukee was accorded a great ovation by the fans when he stepped to the plate in the opening inning vesterday and all through the fray was generously applauded. All Wid did was to get two hits, ong a bunt, in six times at the bat, put himself in the way to score the first run of the game by making a delayed steal of second base and accept all four of his outfield chances. by His catch of Simmons® drive in the eighth, when there were Mackmen on first and second with two gone. was 4 magnificent effort. Wid also nipped Hauser with a good throw in the second session when the latter tried to go from first to third after Simmons singled round tothird base with but one out in the second inning by virtue of his single. Welch's fumbl® and Ruel's sacrifice, but was stranded. Bluege's best was a grounder to Ri- conda that did not permit Goose to start toward home, and Peck fanned. Goslin got Hanser's single in the second was a very scratchy affair. the ball drag- ging just passed Zahniser. Shirley recovered it too late to get an out at first Rice made a good catch of Perkins’ liner in the second. The drive ap- peared a most certain hit, and Sim- mons, who had dashed from first base, was an easy double-play victim. Judge, who returned to the Na- tional's after a brief rest to get an injured leg mended, broke into the game in the tenth after Prothro batted for Shirley. Joe may start at first base today. Matthews was well on his way to second base when Perkins caught a foul tip for third strike on Harris in the fourth inning. but the Mack receiver seized situation quickly and dropped the ball Despite the pro- tests of the Washington coaches, Mat- thews was forced to return to first and Harris remained at bat although Perkins had held the ball moment- arily.

ARCHDEACON TAKES LEAD IN A. L. HITTING By the Associated Press CHICAGO, June 21.—The tumble of Harry Heilmann from the American League batting lead to fifth place, the climb of Maurice Archdeacon, Chicago outfielder, to the leadership, and the continued slugging of T: Cobb, furnish the outstanding de- velopments of the major league bat- ting race. Hellmann, game for a few day who s out of the due to an opera- confined his efforts to sacrifice work. Archdeacon has an average of .375 for thirty-one games, during which he was at bat 104 'times, scoring twenty-four runs, thirty-four hits and getting fortv-four total bases. Cobb, who has played in fifty seven more than any of the leading is batting .364, and is the real leader. He is pressed by Jamieson of Claveland, with an average of .363. Babe Ruth holds his own with .361, compared with .356 a_week ago. Heil- mann is next with .359, but he leads the league with sacrifices, having fourteen to his credit.

PIERCY STILL LAID UP. DETROIT, June 21.—Bill Piercy, Boston pitcher struck on the forehead by u liner in last Wednesduy's game between Boston and Detroit, still is onfined his hotel. The pitcher ustained a slight fracture of the skull. His condition, attending phy- sicians said, is normal INDIANS AID YANKS, KEPT IDLE BY RAIN New York tendered its homecoming Yankees a cool. damp reception, which caused a postponement of their opening tilt with the Red Sox and, incidentally, deprived the world champions of a chance to increase their slender lead over Detroit, as lost to Cleveland. Hug- gins' troupe, however, hopes to show the Boston invaders that they belong in third place or lower today It required almost four full teams to settle the Cleveland-Detroit argu- ment yesterday. Speaker managed to win an 11-to-9 decision with fifteen players against Cobb's eighteen. Each team used three pitchers, and all were slugged unmercifully. Washington took advantage of St. Louis’ idleness, enforced by rain, to pull abreast of the fourth-piace Browns with a 3-to-2 victory over the Athfetics in twelve innings. The Giants continued their winning way in Boston with a 6-to-2 win over the Braves and chalked up their sev- enth straight victory. Lou North, who contracted the losing habit as a memt-r of the Cardinals' staff, was unable to break it in his first start under Manager Bancroft. Watson held the Hub crew to six hits. Frank Wilson, former Boston College star. played his first game in left field for Boston. He accepted eight chances and got one hit. In a slugging frame of mind, the tail-end Phillies humiliated the Rob- ins to the extent of 10 to 1. Dutch Ruether had one of his off days and withdrew under fire in the third. De- catur and Greene, his successors, fared little better. Superior stickwork gave Pittsburgh a Y-to-4 triumph over Cincinnati. Both Morrison and Rixey were bat- ted out of the box. Wright, young Pirate shortstep, hammered out a double, triple and two singles in five attempts. PLAYERS IN DETROIT ROW ARE PUNISHED CHICAGO, June 21.—With the an- nouncement that the players involved in the riotous New York-Detroit game at Detroit last Friday had been fined as well as suspended. Presi- dent Ban Johnson of the American League declared that fighting and boisterous conduct could have no part in the playing of an American League game. Babe Ruth, champion. home run hitter, while escaping suspension, was fined $50 for what President Johnson characterized as his “fren- zied effort to participate in the trouble”” Bob Meusel, Yankee out- fielder, was fined $100 in addition to a ten-day suspension. Bert Cole, the Detroit pitcher, was fined $50 and suspended for ten days. The game, breaking up in a free- for-all fight in which players, police and spectators participated, was for- feited, 9 to 0, to the Yankees when the Police were unable to clear the eld. “A spirited contest is something to be desired, but when carried to the point of violence {t merits sharp criticism and must be severely con- demned,” Johnson said. “Meusel's conduct on that occasion was highly censurable. He precipi- tated the outbreak and added fuel to the fire by his menacing attitude to- vard Cole in passing through the dugout of the Detroit players. “When @ player is ordered from the field by the umpire he must go direct to his dressing room. It is not permissible for him to tarry on the players’ bench. The second outbreak would not have occurred had Cole followed the well prescribed line of procedure,” | feated Roland R.

Answered by WALTER (RABBIT) MARANVILLE Shorttop, Pitgaburgh Pirates. A su- perfine shortstop and one of the most colorful players in the game. * % * ¥ The second baseman is the player who decides whether or not the shortstop or the second baseman is to receive the throw. The man on the second bag is the one who gets the signal from the catcher as the ball is being pitched. For example, with ~a right-handed hitter the catcher signals for a fast ball. The law of averages says that right-handed hitters in the majority of cases will hit a fast ball toward the right field (there are exceptions); therefore, the shortstop should cover the play unless the right-handed hit- ter is an exception and a dead left field hitter. Such a play would be the second baseman’s, and it is he who must decide, and very quickly, just how to-handle it. {Capyright, 1884, Amoclated Rditars, Inc.) By the Associated Press.
