Four times the Browns began an inning with a hit. but none of those hitters passed first base. Only two Browns skipped by that station. In the fifth frame. Bluege made a wild chuck after fielding Bill Jacobson's single, enabling Jake to rumble to third base and in the ninth with two out, George Sisler slammed a double and was left at the middle station.

Not that the Nationals’ manager does not believe in the sacrifice. but he be- | lieves more in employing the full *orve | of his batting order. “The sacrifice is a good play when | properly used,” Bucky remarked yes: terday, ‘but I think it can be used too often in close games. Under most circumstances, 1 am of the opinion | that the Washington Club can get more from & hit-and-run attack than it can from the sacrifice.” And that’s probably why in several recent games Bucky elected to try for runs by the macing method rather than take a chance with a style of {play considered by many base ball pilots more orthodox and safer. The most recent example of avoid- |ance of the sacrificial game are to be found in the contests lost to the Tygers and the Browns, in both of | which_ Stanley Covel, started on | |ghe, siab for the Champs. Twice in the game with the Tgers the Nationals found themselves just a | run ‘shy of a tie, yet neither time was |a sacrifice attempted after a batter | opened an inning with a_safety. | "In the game with the Browns, the Champs were a run back when their | first man up in the third inning got {to first base, but the hit-and-run and {not the sacrifice was tried with no | beneficial result. | The Nationals have used the sacri- fice at times this season and used it effectively. They are apt to use it again, too, at any time according to Sucky, but he has his own ideas as Ito when it should be employed and do not agree with the ideas of many other club pilots. Well, that's for Bucky to think about. He's guiding the club and so far there's no one canysay he has not made a good job of it. While the pitching corps of the Champions has not functioned well | at times during the past few weeks, | the failure of men who could reason ably be expected to swat with vigor to do so has checked the onward rush of the club more than anything else. | Although Goslin has been banging the ball at a rate that many players would like to be able to follow, he has not been hitting at a pace expected to a batter 4n the clean-up position. Since July 5, the Goose has walloped below 300 and his slump has noticeably af- ected the club's progress. Judge, also, has had several spells { of low visibility at bat and they have | made a marked difference in the at-| tack of a team that early in the sea- i sop gained much with its sharp offen- sive. ) The batting order has been decided- | Iv unbalanced for practically a month | with Bucky Harris and Sam Rice | hitting frequently only to have no one to get them around, and Ossie| Bluege pounding the ball savagely with none on the paths to profit by his hammering.
