l}UCKS DRILL PORTS. TOMORROW IFOR TILTS WITH RED SOX Club’s Fighting Spirit Earns Two Labor Day Wins Over Macks—Harrismen Idling After Taking Nine of Twelve Games in Ten Days. BY JOHN B. KELLER. F OR the first time since August 22, eleven days ago. the Nationals idled today and it would seem they stretch of duty they again fought their way deserve a rest. During that ten-day to the top of the league, winning nine of twelve games played. That is a victory record worthy of a club setting the pace in the American League. A They will swing into action again tomorrow, but not in competition. Manager Stanley Harris will have his athletes out in Clark Griffith Stadium for a lengthy drill to prime them for the last three games of the home season, those with the Red Sox on Tl the Yankecs right at their heels and tomorrow with the Bostonians, Harrisment must be well prepared t That they should do if th marked their play yesterday against that scored those 5-to-3 and 4- None but a nervy aggregation would whom they mainta hursday, Saturday and Sunday. With having three more games today and beat twice yesterday, the o fight off their closest flag rivals in the magnificent spirit that the Mackmen. It was an iron team -3 Labor day victories before 40,000 fans. have held up under that direct fire of the Athlctics in the ninth inmng of the first fray and only such a team could have pulled the second tilt out of the fire in the final frame in the afternoon. Grabbing that pair of games torday was not done as casily many fans had anticipated, judging from comment coming from them dur- ing the two tilts. But the Bucks had not expected anv easy time after learning that Stanwood F clever southnaw hurler. and Ed Rom- mel, former leading pitcher of the American League and right now one of the best right-handers in the o cuit, were slated to toe the slab for the Macks Hard Day for Nationals. And the Bucks had a tough day of ft. too. They had to fight hard for everything they got. Those Macks behind their good pitching appeared to be anything but a wobbly seccnd division combination. With the five batters of their order blazing way in the morning, th e Je bel Tecumseh Zachary, National port- sider, a good argument and all but knocked the props from under the red- thatched flinger in the ninth. In the afternoon the venerable Joe Martina, who had succumbed to 1d Rommel in a 1-t0-0 game staged here the day after the Bucks returned to this city at the head of the league for the first time this season, depa-t- od from the field after six uncertain innings. in which he vielded all the visitors' tallies. Allen Russell graced the hill for 2n inning, then gave way to a pinch-batter. Fred Marbe struggled through the last two framc and to him went the victory Baumgartner was none too gener- ous with safeties, but the Bucks earned off him more runs than the opposition collected. It was Joe Jud who settled the issue in the fir game. This revivified hitter slammed a triple, two doubles and a single off Baumgartner, and it was the triple in the seventh session that proved the blow putting the game beyond the reach of the A's. ye Rally Tells in P. M. Fray. Victory in the second game was due to the grim fighting qualities of the Bucks, abetted by a fielding slip- up of Jack Chapman, Athletic short- stop. The Harrismen, trailing in the ninth frame, staged one of the ex- plosive rallies so characteristic of them this year, but they had starte similar ones twice before in the fray, only to have them stopped by Rom- mel’'s masterly hurling. And had Chapman taken care of his department of the game, Rommel would have stopped this third vigor- ous onslaught of the Bucks. But the shortfielder muffed a chance for a third out and gave Mule Shirley a great chance to distinguish himself as a pinch-hitter. Mule seized the op- portunity, and Earl McNeely, who had been clouting strenuously albeit fruitlessly, followed with a wallop that made it two wins in a day for the Griffs, Some may claim Lady Luck was with the Bucks. Well, if such a dame exists, she probably is good to have around a club. But we would rather believe the splendid spirit of keeping at 'em that has marked the work of the team since it got its pennant ideas, was mainly responsi- ble for the second Labor day win. This same spirit must have counted quite a bit, too, in the ninth inning of the first engagement, when the Macks, with a trio of fluky hits, threatened to unbalance Harris' bat- tling bunch. Tally Early in Afternoon. The Bucks began the afternoon en- Zagement in good style, hanging up a run in the first frame. Simmons' two-base muff of Leibold’s fly and Rice's single to center accounting for the marker. Then the A's began pecking at Martina, whom they hit in all of the frames he hurled and got three scores, while Rommel held the Nationals at’ bay. Buege's lurid toss after Bruggy's roller, Rommel's single and Hale's sacrifice pfit Mackmen at third and second bases in the third inning. Lamar chased the pair home with a wallop to right for a base. In the fifth, Lamar's triple with one out of the way and Miller's sacrifice fly gave the Quaker City bunch its final run. The Bucks lost a chance to get a run back in the sixth, when Tate, pinch-hitting for Martina, singled -and McNeely did likewise. But Harris’ at- tempted sacrificial bunt forced out Tate, while Rice and Goslin were vic- tims' of the fly catchers. Judge's double and Bluege's single, though, got back a tally in the seventh and Bluege got as far as third base before the final out of the round was made. It seemed the Nationals' last chance flivvered when McNeely opened the eighth inning with a triple between Simmons and Lamar and had to die on third as Harris fouled to Hale, Rice became a short infield victim and Gos- ling was thrown out by Hale. Big Time in Ninth, But that long-awaited rally came in the ninth. Judge began the round with a single to center, only to be forced out by Bluege, who had tried to sacrifice. Ruel flied to Miller, then Chapman gave the Bucks a chance for the tilt by faltering on Peck’s hot hopper. Bluege took second on the error and scored the tying run when HOW GRIFFS ARE HITTIN H. §B.

This hit sent Peck to third, from where he came in with the de- | cisive tally as McNeely poled the ball { over third base just within the foul | line. The Bu collected all their scores before the Athlet dented the pan |in the first game.

In the second inning Ruel strolled, advanced a notch as Peck shot a one- jase blow to deep short, moved on as Zachary sacrificed. and hung up a run after Lamar bagged McNeely's high one. Ruel began the fourth round with a Texas League double to 1eft, but waited until Peck and Zach- ary went out before McNeely walked lana Harris supplied the counting sock. Judge got in his most efficient work in the seventh, although he had dou- bled in the first frame, singled in the third and tripled in the fifth. With two gone and Rice on first by virtue of an infield hit, Joe clouted to right center. The effort sent Rice home {and put the hitter at second. Joe tallied the fifth score as Bluege sin- gled to left. Macks Spout Fire. These two runs came in quite handy when the Macks spouted fire in the | ninth, for the Bucks had done noth- ing in the eighth against Bryan | Harriss, Baumgartner's successor. In their final turn at bat the Macks had a great time at Zach's expense and were helped by some wobbly Buck fielding. too. Hale began the frame by bounding a single just out of Peck's reach. Lamar then bounched the ball over Bluege's paws and the bases were jammed as Miller scratched a one- baser past Peck. Harris made a splendid try for Hauser's sharp grounder, but the ball rolled to right fleld and Hale scored. When Rice booted the ball, Lamar also tallied and Miller took third while Hauser got to the midway station. Peck took Simmons' grounder and Hauser was run down, Peck to Harris, for the first out of the inning, but Miller got home. Dykes rolled to Bluege, who threw to Harris, forcing out Simmons. But Harris, with an easy double play in sight, heaved wildly past Judge and Dykes got to third. Peck, though, made the game the Nationals' by tightly grabbing Chapman’s high one. CAUGHT ON THE FLY Approximately 40,000 people saw the two games played in Clark Grif- fith Stadium yesterday, the greatest holiday double-header throng that ever turned out here. In the morn- ing about 18.000 paid to see the Na- tionals and Macks perform, and there were about 22,000 out in the after- noon. Batting laurels of the day went to Joe Judge, who cracked out six hits in seven times at bat in the two frays. Joe got a triple, two doubles and a single in as many times at bat in the morning and a double and a single in the afternoon. Rice contributed the most brilliant bit of flelding of the holiday card when he robbed Chapman of possibly a triple in the third frame in the forenoon. Sam made a running one- hand catch far to his right of Jack's liner. ‘When Judge rounded second after clouting against the right fleld fence in the fifth inning of the initial en- counter he was well blocked by Short- stop Chapman, who was standing with wide-stretched arms in the run- Ler's path. Umpire Hildebrand promptly = allowed an interference claim, and Joe was sent to third. Unfortunately for Leibold, but, as it turned out, fortunately for the Bucks, the little outfielder developed a charleyhorse in the fifth frame of the second game and had to be re- placed by McNeely. All Earl did was sock three hits in three times up, his last blow driving in the winning run, and make a startling catch of Rommel’s long liner when the Macks had two on the bases in the sixth. Bill Lamar, a Rockville boy play- ing with the Athletics, and Manager Harris received gifts from admirers before the first game. Citizens of the Maryland town gave Lamar a watch and Harris was presented Wwith an Oriental rug by some Wash- ington fan. Mixs Washington, the city’'s prize beauty, and her court attended the evening session. She tossed out the ball to Umpire Hildebrand to start the game. Straw kellys had a tough day. Many Washingtonians shed theirs K: the morning when Judge and Bluege got their most important hits in the seventh inning. Many more hats be- came fit for the trash man when McNeely swatted that decisive single in the ninth of the final fray. By scoring two victories the Na- tionals clinched the season's series with the Macks. The Harrismen now have won 12 of 18 games between the clubs, with four more to play. Four double plays were turned in by the Nationals during the double- header, the snappiest being registered in the eighth inning of the second game. With Hauser on first, Rommel rapped smartly to Judge. Joe made a great stop and throw to Peck, who made a lightning return. Three pinch-hitters were used by the Bucks in the second encounter and two came through with blows. Tate batted for Martina in the sixth and singled and Shirley, hitting for Marberry, made a fine drive through Chapman’ in the tightest of pinches Hargrave was barely in the -minth. 143 | tossed out by Hale when batting for ell in the seveath, THE - EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Va,, September 2.—The Martinsburg team of the Blue Ridge League yesterday clinched its third successive uphill game in two contests with Hagerstown, leaders of the league sincé the second game of the 100-contest schedule. The locals took the morning game, 2 to 0, from Hagerstown on its own grounds before 5 to 3, before 3,500 fans here. The locals took the title by approxi- mately 2 points with the following com. plete standing: W. L. Pet. Martinsburg .. ..59 38 .608 Hagerstown . .60 39 .608 A rainstorm almost prevented play- ing the afternoon match here. Had it not been played, Hagerstown would have won the title by a narrow margin and nothing could have been done to compel the play-off of the postponed game. - By virtue of its victory Martinsburg will meet the Parksley, Va., team, champions of the Eastern Shore League, in an annual five-State series, to be started the latter part of this week on the Shore. \ _— KENILWORTH BOUT ENDED BY OFFICERS A possible riot at the Washington £porting Club, Kenilworth, Md., last night, was averted by Prince Georges County constables, who jumped into the ring and stopped the feature bout beiween Jack Turner of California and Charley Baum of Baltimore. The scrappers in the main go gave the most atrocious exhibition of box- ing seen in this section for some time. In addition to hitting below the belt and slugging after the bell, the maulers took to wrestling in the sev- enth round when the county authorities intervened. Baum apparently resented a remark passed by Turner at the end of the sixth round. The former disregarded the bell and handed Turner two lefts to the chin and a right to the stom- ach. At this stage of the proceed- ings, Referee Charley Short of Balti- more stopped the fight, ruling it a no-contest, but the fans demanded that the mill be continued. When the referee allowed them to come back for the seventh, the fighters resorted to wrestling as the crowd surged near the ring. It was here that the county constables rushed in to pre- vent a possible riot. Charley Barber of Baltimore out- pointed John L. Smith in the six- round semi-final, while Joe Brown and Harry Groves fought to a draw in one of the four-round preliminaries. Kid Bolin won the decision over Jimmy Gardner, and Pewee Sherman took the measure of Jerry Clark. AVERA WINS ON POINTS. PENSACOLA, Fla, September 2.

At the close of the bout Fitz simmons showed fight, shaking his fist in the faces of Stribling and the referee, because of the unfavorable decision. In the scenes that followed, tele- graph wires at the ringside were torn down. However, no one was hurt. FLOWERS SCORES K. 0. WHEELING, W.

The world champions, following the loss of three of the first four rounds to their younger rivals, aiter stubborn fighting, kept even in the next two yesterday and still are given an equal chance to retain their title because of experience which is expected to count in the last stages. The veteran Goliath of the National, however, continues to show signs of aging legs which may fail in the final encounter with the youthful Pirate challenger or the sturdy Robin, who suddenly abandoned his role‘as spar- ring partner and knocked the cham- pion out of the ring in a three-game series last week. The Giants were the only main bout team to falter in the Labor day dou- ble-headers. Washington took two from the Athletics, but the Yankees kept within a game and a half of the lead by trimming the Red Sox, 3 to 0 and 12 to 2. For the first time in months the National League race became closer than the American, as Pittsburgh ad- vanced to within one game and Brooklyn surged to within three con- tests of the Giants in first place. McGraw's boys lost a decision in the eleventh to Boston, 5 to 4, but came back with a 10-to-2 victory. The Pirates went into extra rounds to win fromi Chicago, 5 to 4, and dropped the Bruin again for a count of 4 to 3. Brooklyn swung a mean right and a left for a double knockout of the Phillies, 7 to 2 and 6 to 3. Detroit slipped another game away from the rank of contender by split- ting with Chicago, winning the first, 16 to 5, but losing the second, 10 to 2. Cleveland and St. Louis also divided arguments, as the Browns won the first, 11 to 8, and lost the second, 13 to 2. With Hornsby out of the game, At the Sign of ths Modn Open Daily Untll 6 P.

The seven victories that Pittsburgh and Brooklyn scored over the Giants reduced the pennant holders’ percentage by 70 points, which is one whale of a slump, particularly at this stage of the geason.

Boyer was driving his machine at a_rate of 129 miles an hour in an effort to overtake Jimmy Murphy, the winner, and was in second place and within a few laps of the finishing line when the machine plunged through a guard rail at the top of the bowl.
