AUGUSTA, Ga., March 17.—The in- jury suffered by Walter Maranville in sliding inté @ base at Los Angeles is more than a blow to the Chicago It is & hard blow to the entire National League. Maranville had been taken by the Cubs largely as a tonic to the other players, though his own playing was a major consideration, too. And as a tonic he was making good. Bubbling over with health, optimism and deter- mination to make the best showing of his carcer, the “Rabbit” had im- parted a fine kick to the Cubs’ infield ktail. The Cubs were imbued with Idea that they were going to have a lot to say about whether th Giants should win their fifth su cessive pennant Maranville's elimination almost cer- tainly will put a different complex- fon on the Natlonal League race. me club has got to play better base ball than it knows how to keep the Glants from getting a runaway start that will do the league much harm, at least financially It is well the Cubs that Pit- tenger promises to be better than he ever has been before. It would Seem logical to place him at short and let Adams continue at second. Adam was countering admirably with Ma- ranville at short, and with the expe- rience that he had may get along finely with Pittenger. Barrett can hit but he is not as fast as the two others.

The Nationals knotted the count In the seventh, when ses to Leibo! and Matthews were followed by Rice's and Goslin’s sacrifices and Judge's one-base blow. The game was salted away in the next frame.

Adamson prevented Leibold from driving in a run, but got into trouble immediately after Nemo finished his turn at bat, for McNaily doubled McNeely, coaching at first base, called for a throw after the Colum- bus third sacker caught Adams' pop Ay in the ninth. The fielder heaved the ball to the unguarded sack, so Judge, who had walked, scampered to second. Matthews replaced Rice in right field in the ninth, but Sam, appar- ently anxious to remain in the game, tried to take Goslin's job in left. He did step in front of Goose and catch a fly from Blessing’s bat, but Umpire Rowland promptly ruled the play out ter a hit.

O'Connell appeared at the field and asked permission to don a uniform, but Secretary Alfred Putnam told him he did not think “it would look right for him to do so."
