In_addition to scoring a victory, the Nationals hung up a season scor- ing record for themselves. Nine of them splashed across the plate in the first round, a greater number of them than had counted before this year in single inning. In a way, the frame de up for the terrible punishment the Bucks had to withstand in Bos- ton last May when nine Red Sox scampered over the final base in a solitary session That Big Round Yesterday. The tale of yesterday’s big round is worth while. McNeely opened the af- fair with a single to left and took third when Harri hit to center for a base. Davis smacked Rice on the leg with the ball, filling the bases. Goslin drew a pass and McNeely got home unmolested. Judge lifted a Texas Leaguer to right that counted Harris. That was the finish for Davis, Bluege, first to face relief pitcher Vangilder, fanned. Peck, thoxgh, doubled to right center, tallying/Rice and Goslin and moving Judge to §ie far corner.

It tallied Ruel, but Mogridge pulled up after advancing a base. Harris_ slid 2 grounder to Robertson and Mog- ridge was run down, but not before McNeely got to third base and Harris to second. Rice's scratch single off Gerber's glove scored McNeely and moved Harris to third and Goslin's rap to right sent Harris home and Rice to second, Lyons then geplaced Vangilder and fanned Judge to end the scoring bee. It was well the Bucks got that healthy lead, for the Browns got to Mogridge in the fourth for a quartet of runs, and hammered Marberry in three other innings for goed gains. But the Bucks continued to sock the opposing pitchers, the only one not vielding a tally being Lasley, who hurled in the final inning. CAUGHT ON THE FLY McNeely performed the unusual stunt of hitting twice and scoring as many times in an inning in _the Bucks’ opening round yesterday. Har- ris also crossed the plate twice, but got only one bingle in the frame. Twenty-six, that's the total of con- secutive games in which Rice has hit safely. He got the first of four bin- gles the second time he stepped to the plate in the Initial inning. Harris got a flock of errors out of his _system. He fumbled rollers hit by Willilams and Gerber, and made a wild throw when attempting to com- plete & double play in the eighth. ‘The hectic heave probably was due to the wet ball.

Credit for that must be given to sunny California. Born neaf Humboldt, Kans vember 6, 1887, on a farm, Johnson had little time to bother about base ball in his early years. He and his three brothers, as soon as they were large enough to be helpful, assisted in the many odd chores to be found about a farm. The best Walter got out of K s then W a splendid constitution and the beginning of a wonderful physique and they cer- tainly helped later. When 14 old, Walter's famiix moved to Fullerton, Calif, in the oil district, and there the husky young fellow got his first real taste of base ball. He became catcher for his high school team, but did not care so much for that position, =o he tried his hand at pitching. ROUTING THE JINX l | ‘WASHINGTON. . H.

The pitcher that had cost the club nothing but railroad fare arrived at the nal Capital in July,. 1907, and pitched his first big league game August 2, 1907. His big-time debut was against Detroit and he was saten, not because he lacked in pitching prowess, but for the reason that his fielding was far below the big league standard. The Tygers were almost helpless before John- son’s blinding speed, but wisely fig- ured he probably knew how to do nothing else and proceeded to bunt him to death. Since then Johnson has had sweet revense. Some vears ago Walter married a Nevada girl and they now live in Reno, ‘where their family of threc bovs and a girl keeps the great hurler quite busy in the Winter days when he is not hunting in the hills about his home.

O accomplish the unperformed feat of winning four consecutive major league pennants the Giants need only to win seven of their remaining eight contests, even if either Brooklyn or Pittsburgh should capture all of their remaining games. If the Giants win only six, the Pirates could win the pennant by a margin of one-half game by taking the 10 yet on their schedule. The Robins, by. capturing their seven left to play, would then tie New York. A trick of the schedule which brings | out of it, are making it as hard for the three contending teams into com- petition in the final rush favors the Giants. If the Pirates and Robins each win one of their two games to be played today and tomorrow, the Giants could lose two of their series of three to McKechnie's team and still come home b turing only five of the eight remaining on their schedule to- day. If either Pittsburgh or Brooklyn makes a double killing of the other the losing team will be eliminated. The Nationals as vet have no such comforting margin. If Washington loses one game the Yankees can tie for the lead by taking their remaining contests. Each has nine to play. Events of yesterday, however, indi- cated a tendency on the part of the world champions to crack, while Wash- ington sailed gloriously through St. Louis under a 15-to-9 score. Sad Sam Jones, with a_5-to-3 lead in the eighth was et upon by ferocious Tyger pinch-hitters and driven from the box as the score was tied. In the ninth Joe Dugan threw wild and Hoyt, after passing two men purposely, per- mitted Haney’s single for the winning run of a 6-to-5 victory. The Tygers, the Yankees as they did for the Na- tionals. Nehf twirled the Giants to an easy 10-to-4 win over Chicago, while Pittsburgh downed Brooklyn in the first of the six games with the Rob- ins and Giants which afford the youthful westerners a fighting chance for the pennant. Yde came through with a 4-to-2 victory, largely due to the brilllancy of Cuyler and Wright. The left fielder made three hits and stole three bases. Wright hit a home run and accepted 10 chances at short- stop. Each checked a Robin rally with a sensational play. The Giant win cost the services of Heinie Groh, who was carried from the field in the cighth with an in- jured knee. The hurt, however, was not thought to be serious. Cincinnati defeated Philadelphiz, 9 to 5, and went into fourth place in the National League, as the Cubs lost, Clyde Day, a recruit, held Boston to six hits and won a 4-to-1 battle for the Cardinals.

K. Hall of the American intercollegiate foot ball rules committee. The following clause is added to section 3, rule 8, and is effective immediately : “In case the kickoff is made from a point behind the middle of the field, the opponents shall be behind a line 10 from which the kick is made.” In 1923 and for several vears pre- vious, the rules provided that a team should kick off from its own 40-yard line at a point equidistant from the side line. At a meeting of the rules committee last February, the kicking point was placed at midfield, artifi- cial tees were abolished and the op- -| posing eleven was restrained on its own 40-yard line. It was then suggested that on a muddy fleld it might be diMcult to get away a good kick without the u: of an artificial tee and accordingly the rule was changed to provide that the kickoff might be made from the mid- dle of the field or “any point direct- 1y back of it” thus making it pos- sible to go back such distance as might be necessary to get a firm spot for the kick. Immediately coaches and officials foresaw a result that might cause some serious gridiron situations this Fall. The rules were studied closely and it was learned that while the op- posing team was restrained on its 40-yard line the kicking eleven might retreat to any part of its territory, directly behind the center of the mid- field line, making a short kick and re- cover the ball itself at midfield, the kicking team being permitted to re- cover after the ball has traveled 10 yards. A telegraphic poll of the rules com- mittee members was taken and the situation was relieved legally by lift. ng the 40-yard-line restriction on the recéiving eleven. The receivers may | yards in front of the spot now range 10 yards from the point of KkicKoff at all times. This and many other phases of the new rules Will be considered by the Eastern foot ball officials in their an- nual interpretation meeting here to- night. BERLENBACH SCORES, BUT NOT IMPRESSIVE BY FAIR PLAY. NEW YORK, September 20.—Panl Berlenbach is one step nearer his goal of the light-heavyweight championship as a result of his knockout of Jack Reddick, the Canadian light-heavy champion, at Madison Square Garden last night. But Punching Paul will have to de- velop a better defense than he showed Reddick if he hopes to stand up against all the leather that will be pushed at him in the next few months. Paul was an open target for Red- dick’s straight right to the jaw, and it was less thanks to Berlenbach’s prowess than to Reddick’s stage of the right that the bout didn’t end in the le:h ‘with Berlenbach stretched on the mal Reddick had him groggy, but couldn’t slip over the finisher, and Paul weath- ered and came back to add another knockout to his string.
