30 SPORJLSE .rChastened Goslin’s Fielding SHINES AGAINST TYGERS "AFTER REBUKE BY HARRIS Griff Fielder, Punished for Faulty Play Sunday, Shares Spotlight With Pitcher Zachary in -t0-3 Viciory—Both Hit Home Runs.

Sunday there was nothing to criticize in Leon’s work at bat, but his fielding was atrocfous. Against the Tygers yesterday he got only ene hit, but it was a whale of a wallop that the scoreboard and registered in the cleared the right-field barrier near third inning what really was the de- cisive run of the fray, although the Nationals got another later for a 5-to-3 victory to maintain their eight- But in left field yesterday ti performer. several were of the difficult variety. game lead over the second-place A" e chastened Goslin was a scintillating He handled cleanly all seven chances that came his way and Particularly spectacular was his catch of Red Wingo's liner in the second inning, made when the bases were filled. It ended a Tyger rally that threaten tionals’ reach. ! Sharing the spotlight with Goslin, who really fielded as he is capable of | fielding, was Jezebel Tecumseh Zach- | ary, southpaw slabman, who has not | enjoved much success this season.| Zach startled himself as well as the small ot of fans in the stands by loop- ing the ball over the right-field wall in the second session for a round-tripper. It _crossed within a foot of the foul mark and its luster was dimmed a trifle by Goslin's prodigious smash that followed, but it counted just as much as that wallop by the Goose. Zach Checks Tygers. But Zach's greatest work was done | on the hill. Wild as the proverbial | March hare in the first frame, he was | saved from severe damage by a two- | ply killing after he had passed two batters. In thé second session, when he yielded four singles and a pass and had an error made behind him, it seemed his term of service would be | brief. ‘That Tyger flurry tied the score, but thereafter until the eighth inning only one Tyger saw first base. That was John Bassler, who strolled to that sack after one was out in the seventh. Bob Jones, sent in to run for the sluggish catcher, never left the base. Hits numbers five and six were regis- tered against Zach in the eighth for the visitors' third and last marker. Wingo's two-bagger came after a man had been retired. Zach threw out Bob Fothergill without letting Wingo leave the middle statfon, buc Harry Heil- mann singled to right and Red scored. Lu Blue popped to Roger Peckinpaugh to end the eighth, and in the ninth Pinch Batters Ty Cobb and Johnny Neun, as well as Larry Woodall, were baffled by the red-thatched North Caro- infan. The Nationals did not get any star- tling amount of hits off the two Tyger hurlers emploved, but they made all except one of their seven bingles count. George Dauss, curving right- hander, started on the mound by Cobb, was found for three successive singles in the tworun second inning and a brace of homers in the third. Zach's single off Dauss in the fifth was wasted. Doyle Found for Run. Dauss gave way-to a pinch batter in the seventh sessfon and Jesse Doyle finished the pitchmng for the Cobbmen After Sam Rice firagged a single pasc Doyle in the eighth the hurler devel- oped a streak §f wildness and prac- tically handed thie Natlonals thelr final tally Doyle we» Tortunate in not having more than one run made against him. The Champs had the bases filled, with two out, in the elghth, when Ossie Bluege sent a terrific drive to right field. Heilmann, playing toward center for the right-hand hitter, raced across to his regular territory and made a brilliant one-hand catch of the liner that seemed on its way to a two-bagger at least. The Tygers were patient in the first inning, and waited for Zach to show his goods. Fred Haney, first up, was successful in drawing a pass, and B advanced a notch by Blackie ourke's sacrifice. Wingo also watched Zach fling the sphere and walked to first. When Fothergill rifled n liner toward left, both runners dashed from their sacks, but Peck speared the drive and tossed to Bucky Harris to double Haney off second. Tn the second round, however, the Tygers slammed their way to a pair of tallies. Hellmann opened the at- tack by bounding a single past Joe Judge. Blue hit to center and Hell- mann_stopped at second, but when Rice foozled the roller, Harry broke for third base. The outflelder made a poor throw to Bluege that let Hell- mann reach the far corner safely and Blue make second. Bucky Harris knocked down Jack Tavener's sizzler, but it was good for a single that tal- lied Hellmann and put Blue at third. Tygers Start Well. These hits left Zach wobbly and he passed Bassler to fill the sacks. Dauss took a healthy swing for a third strike, but Haney singled over Judge's head, scoring Blue. Only a quick return of the ball from right field by Moon Harris prevented Tavener fram fol- lowing Blue to the plate. G .. loft to Rice was so short that Tave- ner did not dare to break for home after the catch. Then Goslin made his flashy catch of Wingo's twisting lner. Tn their portion of the round, the Nationals knotted the score pronto. Judge singled to center and pulled up at second base when Moon Harris lined a onebaser over Tavener. Bluege shot a single past Haney to count Judge and put Moon at third. Peck's sadrificic] tap scored Moon Harris and moved Bluege to the mid- dle station. In a hitandrun play, Ruel lined to Wingo and the latter’s throw to Tavener easily doubled Os- sie off second base. Zach opened the third with his homer and Goslin got his four-baser after Rice and Bucky Harris had been retired. Thereafter all was quiet un- til the eighth inning, when Wingo doubled and scored as Heilmann singled. Last Tally “Cheap.” That marker was offset by the Nationals in their last turn at bat. With Zach out of the way, Rice bunted past Doyle for a single. Doyle hit Bucky Harris on the elbow and when the pitcher tried to trap the pilot off first, Blue muffed the throw. That let Rice take third base and Bucky return to first safely. Goslin fanned, but Judge's stroll crammed the cushions, and when Doyle plugged Moon Harris in the shoulder the Champs got a cheap run. Heil- mann stopped the scoring for the day with his great catch of Bluege's drive. DURHAM AGAIN WINS. WINSTON-SALEM, N. C..

All's well with the banquet that will be tendered the Nationals by Fred Buckholz at the Occidental the night of September 28. President Griffith of the Champions said early vesterday that his club would have to leave for Hartford, Conn., on that day at about the same time the affair was schedul- ed, and it seemed there would be no banquet. Later Griffith learned that the players could be sent to New York on a midnight train and continue to Hartford the next morning for their exhibition engagement on September 29. So the banquet will be held as originally planned. Arrangements for it are about com- pleted. Roe Fulkerson, Robert N. Young and Harry Allmond comprise the committee that is assisting the host in perfecting detalls. Roland Robbins will have charge of the enter- tainment program. TWO MORE JOIN GRIFFS’ GROWING ROOKIE CLASS Two more recruits worked out with the Nationals yesterday for the first time. Stuffly Stewart, stocky second-sacker, bought from Birmingham, got into practice at his special station, while Jim Lyle, a lanky right-hand pitcher pur- chased from Augusta of the Sally League, indulged in a brief workout. Stewart appeared to be at home at second base. Lyle had little opportunity to “strut his stuf” yesterday, but he will be looked over carefully during the remain- der of the season.

Walter Johnson and Stanley Coveles- kie are due to take the mound for the| Nationals tomorrow, with the former likely to work in the first game. Ty Cobb had Kenneth Holloway ready to start for the Tygers today, so the young right-hander probably will be employed in the double-header. Earl Whitehill, left-hander, also may be used. Ty Cobb's choice for mound duty was likely to be Kenneth Holloway, young right-hander, who has been par- tlcularly effective against the Na- tionals this season. Hal Smith, young right-hand hurler signed by the Nationals last month, but who has been undergoing hospital treatment for ear trouble the past 10| days, was to rejoin the squad this| afternoon. Goslin’s homer in the third inning yesterday was the fifteenth of the sea- son for him. Zachary’s homer in the same session was the first of the year for the pitcher.

Joe was “set” to fleld the ball, but it took a wicked hop and almost scraped his whiskers as it bounded to right field. Little effort in attack was wasted by the Nationals.

FOURNIER By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, September 16.—If Jacques Fournier, Brooklyn first base- man, intends to sever his connections with the club after this season, as has been reported, Wilbert Robinson, presi- dent of the ciub, does not know of it. “Fournier hasn't said a word to me about quitting,” Robinson declared. “I saw id the papers he intended to quit Brooklyn because the fans there were razzing him. That's all I know about it. Fournier is under a contract that has another year to run, but if he quits I guess I can't do anything about it. Doak did the same thing last year. There is no use worrying about the darned thing. I'm going to do a lot of fishing in the off-months, and you can’t expect me to land a nice one and worry about Fournier at the same time."” * Fournier said he had nothing to add to a statement published in New York concerning his determination not to play with Brooklyn next year. He said the statement was correct and that he would not be with the Dodgers in 1926. He declared he would not stand for the ‘“razzing” of Brooklyn tans. —_—_— INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE.
