No one was on base when he socked the ball into the lower left fleld stand for his first round-tripper, but when he got his second with a drive into the upper left fleld stand Goose Goslin and Ossie Bluege were perched on the third and first sacks, respectively. | All told, Peck drove in six of the seven runs his club made, for in the sixth inning he hit a long fly to Sim- mons to get Hank Severeid home from the third cushion, and in the seventh, | while he was being thrown out after grounding to Sammy Hal Goslin | raced from third to the plate. But Jez Zachary, who had been un- steady since he ascended the mound to start the flinging for the Nationals, was reached for markers in the fourth | and fifth frames, and, after two runs had crossed in the sixth, retired, leav ing the bases filled, with two A out. Allen Russell was hurried to the | slab, and Simmons, first to face the lief hurler, settled thie issue by slam- ming a three-bagger to right field. Walberg Fails to Last. Walberg was unable to finish what he started for the Athletics. The Na- | tionals ot to him for five safeties in ‘he sixth and with two tallies in, two out and three on bases, he departed from the scene. In came Stanwood Baumgartner and all Sam Rice could do was ground to Red Holt to retire | the side. Russell was nicked for another | Mack marker in the seventh, his own | wild throw contributing to its mak- | ing. Lefty Groves, who started hurl- ing for the A's in the seventh, also was reached for a run and he got out of the game after putting the first two Nationals on base in the eighth. Ed Rommel stopped the Champs | from then on. Win Ballou was the | third National pitcher to break into | the line-up. He hurled a scoreless eighth inning. After Peck’s two four-base clouts had accounted for four runs, the A's bunched three hits for two scores in the fourth. Bing Miller beat out 2 slow roller to Peck and went to | third when Simmons singled smartly to center. Hale sent a high bounder | *0 Joe Judge, who heaved to the plate 10 head off Miller, but the ball got to | Hank Severeid too late. Cy Perkins' | one-baser to right filled the sacks | and Simmons counted when Frank | Welch. batting for Chick Galloway, | grounded to Judge As Get Another in Fifth. | Holt popped to Peck and Walberg | fanned to stop scoring them, but in| the next frame a pass to Bill Lamar | was converted into a run, when Miller | singled his teammate to third base, from where he crossed as Ossie Bluege | tossed out Simmons. In the sixth, the Nationals advanced | their lead to three runs with a flock of hits that ought to have produced | more than the pair of markers regis- | tered. Severeid started the round with | a single to center and went to the far corner when Bluege rammed a_one- | baser over Red Smith’s head. Hank ran home after @uimons caught Peck's hoist and Jmdge watched a third strike whizz past. Zach, however, s tched a single by Walberg and Earl McNeely rifled a long hit to center. Earl's blow scored Bluege, but Zach stopped at mecond base, forcing the hitter, who | had goneé yards past first, to return | 1o that sack. Bucky Harris followed with & single to deep left, but it only filled the bases. Baumgartner then relieved Walberg . and easily took care of Rice. Sew Up Game in Round 6. In their half of the sixth, how ever, the Macks sewed up the game for themselves. Perkins opened with a single to left center and AMickey Cochrane was sent in to run for Cy Smith fanned, but Jimmy Foxx, bat. ting for Holt, beat out a slow roller | to Bluege. Bill Keesey, a newcomer to the Macks, batted for Baumgart- ner and singled to right. Rice’s throw home had Cochrane beaten, but Severeid stepped in front of the counting block to take the ball and Mickey slid in safely behind the catcher. Jimmy Dykes singled Foxx home | and Keesey to third base and, after | Lamar fouled to Severeid, Miller's! atroll filled the stations and put Zach | aut of action. What Simmons did to Relief Pitcher Russell was plenty Tach side got a needless tally in the seventh. A pass, a single and an infleld retirement accounted for the Nationals’, while Cochrane’s two-bag- ger and a_wild heave past Judge by Russell, who had flelded Smith's bunt- e dsingle, handed the A’s theirs.

NEW YORK, September 10.—Two successive victories over Washington have rekindled pennant hopes in the Philadelphia American League camp. The hopes are based on slight mathe- matical chances, however. The Yankees bowed before the Red Sox, 5 to 4. Flagstead's double with two' out in the ninth scored Rosen- thal with the winning run. Babe Ruth hung up a pair of doubles and times at bat and drove in three of the New York runs. Maurk Koenig, recruit from the St Paul club of the American Associa- tion, has established himself at short with the Yankees, replacing Pee Wee ‘Wanninger. | Pittsburgh dropped the final game | of a series to. the Cubs, 9 to 7. after an 1l-inning fray. Bunched hits and misplays allowed Chicago to regis- ter three tullies in the final inning. Kaufmann went the distance in the box for the winners, while the Pirates used Adams, Kremer and Morrison. The setback reduced the lead of the Pirates over the Giants o T3 gam Other clubs in the National League were not scheduled.

However, when Manager Harris asked Ossie if ‘he could perform in the last of the Mack series, the third- sacker = declared himself willing. | Trainer Martin put such a huge dress-| !ing on the injured member that Ossie had to borrow a base ball shoe from | Goose Goslin, who has an oversize foot, before swinging into action. The sore toe did not interfere with Bluege's hitting, for he got three sin- gles in four legal times at bat. the fray slipper on his right foot, but perhaps | today’s rest may relieve the soreness in the toe. Bucky Harris had not planned to use Judge in yesterday's fray, so Joe went to Shibe Park early and indulged in a two-hour strenuous workout. But just before game' time Moon Harris developed an indisposition that in- capacitated him for duty, so_the tired Judge had to be employed. He was a weary athlete after the pastiming. Severeid and Perkins made sensa- tional catches of foul fljes. In the first inning Hank rushed toward the grandstand _for Simmons® loft, but slipped and fell to his knees. He skidded along the ground for three or four yards, and speared the ball. In the third Inning Zach, trying to sac- rifice, popped toward first base. Per- king' spikes caught as he ran for a catch and he toppled prone, but reached out for the sphere.. Tex Jeanes, recruit from Birming- ham, did well as a pinch batter for the Nationals in Philly. 1In three times at bat in two games he doubled, singled and fouled out.
