SPORTS. 26 Nationals Climbing to Dizzy Heights: Archdeacon Upsets Dope of Diamond Scouts DOUBLE DEFEAT OF YANKS PUTS THEM CLOSE TO TOP Another Victory Over World Champions Today and a Defeat for the Tygers Will Send Griffs Into Leadership of American League. BY JOHN B. KELLER. EW YORK, June 24—That twin victory scored by the Nationals over the Yankees in Col. Jake Ruppert’s monster stadium here yes- terday created an unprecedented situation in the American League. Never before at a similar stage of the championship campaign had a Washington club been in such a position in a title race in the Johnsonian circuit as were the Nationals today before the third game of their series with the winners of world base ball laurels—within a game of the pace- setting Tygers. - i N . Washington clubs of former seasons have occupied first place in the league standing or stood within easy striking distance of it, but never after three weeks of June were gone. But those 5-to-3 and 4-to-2 wins over the Yanks yvesterday have made these Nationals, directed by Bucky Harris, very important factors in one of the most hectic flag races ever recorded in American League history.

There were available for service this afternoon Paul Zahniser and Fred Marberry, and in all likelihood the former wili be sent to the mound in an effort to raise the Nationals to the dizziest heights they would ever hive reached in_the league.

In the first game zridge held Miller Hug | artiliery to nine hits and y in difficulty only twice—the two in- nings in which the Yankees did their | scoring. Zachary granted but eight| swats in the second game and two of the clouts in the Yanks' counting round were dribbles through the in- | field, made possible because fielders had ‘shifted positions at the last mo- ment to cope with obvious hit-and- run plays. The most pleasing feature of the work of the pitchers was their ex- cellent control. Both ‘“worked” the batters carefully, yet neither issued 4 base on balls and the only free transportation to first was handed to Babe Ruth, who took one of Mo- gridge’s shoots in the ribs. For Zachary it was the second complete game of the season without granting a pass. Incidentally, the Yankees were his victims in Washington on the occasion of his first game free of wildness. Yanks Use Four Pitchers. So tempestuous did the National batsmen become at times that the Yankees found it necessary to use two pitchers in each game. In the initial encounter sad Sam Jones, who used to be a veritabie curse to any Washington club, started on the slab, but after yvielding eight safeties for four runs in four and one-third in- nings he gave way to Cliff Markle. Markle, a newcomer to the Yanks, al- though formerly in the majors. got along well until the eighth, while in that frame he escaped real danger, but in the ninth he was reached for @ homer by Goose Goslin and the slam just about blasted the Yankees' &pirit so far as the first tilt was con- cerned. Waite Hoyt permitted but two hits in the first seven innings of the sec- ond tilt, both made in the sixth when the Nationals first scored. But he was supplanted by Pinch-hitter Joe Bush in the seventh, when the Yanks railied and deadlocked the game, and Bob Shawkey finished the fray on the mound. Tre Nationals won off the red-shirted hurler in the eighth with a three-hit attack. Two runs were snared right off the reel by the Nationals in the first bat- tle. Rice opened hostilities with a double to left field and continued | home when Hendrick let the ball get by. Then Matthews tripled to left nter and scored as Goslin singled after Harris lined Dugan. Mat- | thews' two-bagger, Harris' sacri and Judge' ingle put a third N tional over in the third frame. Sue sive hits by Ruth, Hendrick and Schang, the last mentioned swat- ting for two bases, and McNally's escaped the ninth inning of first game. The big fellow leaped against the right field bleacher {screen for the ball, which just cleared the barrier, and fell heavily. He ped for time the second ne. homer in a in Very flukey hits were registered by Hendrick in the first game and Scott in the second. Both were high bounders to the pitchers that did not descend in time to permit plays at first base. Rice had to do some fast stepping from third to reach home ahead of Hendrick’s throw in the fifth frame of the opening battle. The Yankee flelder had captured Harris' fly not far back of third base. Little Wid Matthews did some hardy slugging during the double header. He slammed a triple and a double” in four times at bat in the initial debate and got a_double in four times up in the second. His last hit paved the way to what proved the decisive counter. Judge “and Goslin also handled their flails well. Joe got a brace of blows in each game, while Goose got three in the first and one in the sec- ond. Goslin drove in four runs dur- ing the afternoon. In the sixth inning of the second game, Ruel ran to the pitcher's box to take Hofmann's pop fly. Bush twice was used as a pinch hitter by the Yankees. Joe batted for Witt in the first game and_ended it with a loft to Matthews. In the second tilt, , he drove In two runs to tie the score when he batted for Hoyt in the seventh inning and singled, Johnson was sent in to run for Bush. Ruth’s loft to center in the eighth round of the late encounter was of the proverbial “mile-high” type. Matthews shifted under it for some time before making a basket catch. TAYLOR STOPS COULON.

AT LATONIA LATONIA, Ky., June 24—Western | candidates for the Latonia derby, to be run next Saturday, were given their preliminary at Latonia yester- day, and Black Gold, the most highly regarded of all, was the one found wanting. The horse that won three derbies this year for Mrs. R. M. Hoots of Oklahoma showed a dull performance and finished last in a fleld of seven starters in a mile and an elghth dash. 5 Chilhowee, the winner, ran the dis- tance in 1504-5 and was pushed throughout by Giblon and Lord Mar- tTh.. King Gorin TI, Altawood and Bourbon Boy finished in the order named ahead of Black Gold. Jockey J. D. Mooney, who had the mount on the Hoots candidate, said that when he applied the whip o) keep the Hoots colt among the con- tenders Black Gold flattened out and refused to extend himself. A second effort to move up on the back stretch producing the same result, Mooney did not persevere with his mount and the colt was permitted to canter the remainder of the journey. Horsemen generally were of the opinion that the triple derby winner had not done enough work since his victory at Maple Heights, and thought yesterday’s race should put him on edge for the mile and a half journey Saturday. Mad Play, Mr. Mutt, Klgndyke, Bracadale and other eastern candi- dates for the Latonia derby are ex- pected to leave New York for Latonla today or tomorrow. MINOR LEAGUE RESULTS AMERICAN ASSOCIATION.
