Part 4—4 Pages WASHINGTON, D. C, SUNDA Y MORNING, JULY 1 9, 1925, Goslin Fired as Griffs Swamp Tribe, 19-6 : Yankee Athletes Star in Englan—d— FANS HURL POP BOTTLES AT GOOSE IN CLEVELAND Police Escort Him from Field After He Spikes Cole. Gregg Subdues Indians as Champions Enjoy Their Biggest Batfest of the Season. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, July 18—Swinging their bats savagely, the Nationals Indians today in the opening game of the completely routed the series of three here, winiing, C in a game for the champions this season and in amassing 24 safeties they also set a club record for the campaign The venerable Vean Gregg checked the Indians with his southpaw slants, while he and the other Nationals clubbed three local moundsmen. Garland Buckeye, portly portsider, who once was a Griffman, was as i it long enough to be charged Then Bert Cole, southpaw, and Byron driven from the battle early, but w vith his first defeat of the year. * Speece, another one-time National much_punishment. Cole also absorbed punishment irom Goose Goslin, who believed the pitcher was endeavoring to “bean” slugger was put out of the game mn the The Goose ducked an inside pitch then rushed toward the slab in a bel- ligerent mood. Restrained by Umpire Tommy Connelly, Goslin resumed his batting position ‘and eventually sent a slow roller to First Baseman George Burns. Cole hustled to the sack to take Burna' throw for the out, and the Goose, rushing down the line, hurled himself at the pitcher, driving his knees into Cole's back and spiking him in the thigh As soon as he could straighten and turn, Cole grabbed at Goslin, but be- | fore any further warfare could occur | players of both teams and the um pires rushed to the scene of action. | Umpire Billy Evans immediately or- | ,dered Goslin out of the game, and as | the Goose strode to the Nationals’ | dugout he was greeted with hoots and a shower of pop bottles from the fans. He remained in the Nationals’ shelter until several policemen arrived to | escort him to the dressing room, for | & considerable number of irate Cleve- | land rooters quickly gathered to wreak vengeance upon the Washing ton piayer. | Gregg in Fine Form. | In today’s base ball engagement the | Nationals were the whole show after | the opening inning. Then each side started a pair of runs, but thereafter | Gregg, employing a fine curve and a | clever change of pace, had the In-| dians , practically helpless, holding them {o elght safeties after they had | gathered three in the opening round. | But Buckeye, Cole and Speece got | ,theirs in bunches. The big fellow was reached for six hits that totaled 13 bases before a National was retired in the third inning. Ten safetles in four Innings were gleaned off Cole, the lot netting 14 bases. Speece was found for a triple, a double and six | singles. The Cleveland trio fssued only three passes. They were rarely able to get the ball by the champs. Every man used by the Natlonals except Moon Harris and Hank Seve- reid hit safely, and all except Hank and Nemo Leibold, who went to left | field after Goslin was fired from the affair, crossed the plate. Sam Rice was the batting noise of the day with a triple, a double and two singles in seven trips to the plate. Before his ejection Goose socked a -homer and a two-bagger in four times at bat, his round-tripper being a hit over the right-field wall that accounted for the Champs’ run in the first frame. E Scoring Starts Early. as no delay in the making After McNeely whiffed of the contest Bucky Harris strolled to first and soon | swiped second. Rice's infield erasure moved the manager to the far corner, from where he romped home when Goslin lifted his homer over the right sleld barrier. The Indians promptly countered with a pair of runs. Jamieson nearly tore Judge's hands off with a single, and reached third 1 when Lee bumped a two-bagser to center. Bpeaker then rifled the ball down the right-field line for a_double to score his two teammates. From then on the Tribe was not so savage, but the Na- tionals ran wild, In the second ses- sion, after Bluege fanned, Scott dou bled to left and Ruel was nicked by a | pitched ball. Then Gr poled the . sphere to left field, and when it bound- ed over Jamieson's head both runners | got home and the venerable batter ptaggered as far as third base. Fol- | Jowing MeNeely's foul loft to Lee, | GRIFFS TO BE There of marker: at the outset | ger for Oswald. 19 to 6. It was the biggest run total and a right-hand flinger, absorbed him. * s a result, the National ixth inning. Gregg ambled to the plate when Buck- eve uncorked a wild pitch. Round three was the fattest of the lay for the Champs. Rice singled to right, and tallied when Goslin crossed | the Indian outfield by lifting a two- bagger to left, close to the foul line. Judge’s Hit Ends Buckeye. Judge's one-baser to right scored Goslin and sent-Buckeye out of the scene, Cole coming to the slab. Joe advanced a base as Bluege hit safely and Scott sacrifieed. Ruel's slash over second base registered Joe and Ossie at the plate, and Gregg's sacrifice put Muddy in a position to score when McNeely singled into Speaker's. ter- ritory. Rice opened the Nationals' fourth frame with a hit between Jamieson and Speaker that seemed only long enough for a_two-bagger, but fdashed enough speed to comvert it into a triple. Goslin popped to Fewster and Judge strolled, then Rice flashed | more speed-in tallying after Speaker bagged Bluege's hoist to short center, The Nationals got nothing out of the fifth inning, but the Tribe man- | aged to annex a couple of counters. | Cole walked and Jamieson singled. Lee fouled to Ruel and Rice took care of Speaker, but Joe Sewell hit safely to right_to drive Cole and Jamieson to the final station. Cole also checked the Champs in the sixth, but he was knocked galley west in the seventh. Cole Combed in Seventh. Judge began that round with ay double against the right-fleld wall. Judge delayed leaving second when it seemed Joe Sewell would snare Bluege's hopper and got only to third when the ball slipped past the Tribe shortstop to be accounted a two-bag- Scott’s single to left sent both runners in and Ruel's one- baser to center put the Deacon on third base. Out Cole went ar” brought to the mound. a jam with Spurgeon when Gregg pop-bunted, so the old-timer got a single that crowded the cushions. McNeely fouled out, but Boss Bucky lifted to Lee ‘deep enough to get Scott home artl put Ruel at third. Rlce then came through with a single, his third safety of the game. to chase Muddy to the counting block. Speece was nicked for another marker in the eighth. Judgessingled, | then gave away to Joe Harris on the runway. Bluege's third wallop of the afternoon, a single, advanced Moon a | notch and Scott's retirement moved both runners forward. Bluege was nared at the far corner when Severeid. | who had replaced Ruel in the line-| up, grounded to Joe Sewell, but Moon | tallied Speece was Byron got in Three More in Ninth. To make it a really big day the tionals garnered three more markers in the ninth. MeNeely and his m azer singled and hoth scored when | Rice doubled to right for his fourth | blow of the fray Leibold, nhsti- tuting for the belligerent in, tripled against the lefi-field stand and Rice romped to the plate. With Grezz working easily in the ninth, the Indians grabbed a pair of | runs to make their day’s total seem respectable. Jamieson drew a pass, and, after Lee skied to McNeely, went | to third unmolested. Speaker fanned, but Joe Sewell walked and ambled to second without interference. Burns' single to_left got Jamieson and Joe Sewell off the paths. Fewster then ended it with a Toft to McNeely.

Goslin got to the clubroom as quickly as he could with } | tection, dressed immediately and left for the Nationals' hotel. It was well that he did, for mob of several hun: dred, all in an mood, gathered about the exit the clubhouse after the game and velled for the Goose to emerge.

While not absolving Cole from all blame in the affair, Manager Harris is not inclined to believe that Goslin's means of attempting to settle the mat- ter was best. Harris Fears Weakened Team. “No good comes of quarreling on the field or any place where the um: pires have jurisdiction,” declared the | Natlonals’ boss. “While the injured phrty may feel justified in taking such Bction as Goslin did today, he should consider his team before himself.

Vean got a single in the seventh when neither Speece nor Snurgeon could field his bunt, giving uim a batting rating of .667 for the game. 2 Bucky Harris drew a fine hand from the crowd for his leaping catch of Luke Sewell's liner in the fourth. Buck tossed to Scott to double Burns off second base, and had a triple play been necessary to retire the side it would have been accomplished, for Judge got the sphere from the Deacon who had left first, could possibly have returned to-that Hits were so numerous in the last three innings of the game that the | Indians seemed dazéd.

SLUMP ONLY TEMPORARY, LEVELAND, July 18—Although his team has been knocked out of BOSS HARRIS TELLS FANS [/ the Nationals is confident that coveted position soon will be re- gained and that Washington’s representative in the American League will run along to its second successive championship. _ s ; While the slump his club has experienced since hitting the Western trail may have unsettled some of the players who are not so cocksure about sitting in when the world series melon is divided, it seems to have added to the fighting spirit of their boss. Despite troubles the Nationals | have, encountered in this territory, Harris predicts a quick return to | early scason form for his team. “Calamity howlers to the contrary, we are not ‘through’,” he declared to- day. “We are strong enough to be at the top and we will be there at the finish. Once we pull out of this slump—and we will soon—watch our smoke. The Athletics are good, but I believe we are better,” he added, “and the fans, too, will be believing that before long.” Harris attributes to the absence of Walter Johnson from the pitching staff the failure of the Nationals to make any favorable progress through the West. “Had that tonsilitis at tack not kept Walter out of action,” he insists, “we would have been. far better off during this trip.
