Thrills in Late Innings. The ninth and tenth the big spots of the game. The Na. tionals apparently had the contest well in hand when Johnson was com- pelled to leave the slab. They had bumped the left-handed Jim Joe Ed- wards from the box in two innings and in the next five rounds had slam- med George Connally, orthodox flinger, for a good lead. But Fred Marberry, whose flinging | arm still seems to be bothered by the | nerve strain he suffered in Chicago last month, was treated so roughly in the elghth that before their batting turn ended the White Sox had dead- locked the game. The Champs could get little off Ted Blankenship, third White Sox hurler, in thelr part of the elghth, so Zach was rushed into the breach at the start of the ninth to battle with the star right-hander of the visitors. ke Davis, first to face Jezebel, al- most knocked the pitcher's hand off with a terrific low drive.

Goose Goslin made a_spectacular catch of Earl Sheely’s liner to end the Chisox ninth, but after Blanken- ship had handily disposed of the Champs in order in their turn, Bib Falk opened the visitors’ tenth with a sizzling grounder toward left cen- ter. Again Adams executed a great play, dashing toward second base for 2 remarkable stop and following with an equally remarkable throw for a retirement. After Johnny Mostll skied to Gos. lin, Willle Kamm drew a pass and R k singled to right Harris then grabbed a lot of g cleanly fielding the hit and lining the | ball to Bluege to nip the ambitious Kamm, who tried to make the far cor- ner on the safety.

Jeanson started as though he were in for a rough day. ‘With Harry Tooper out of the way in the first inning, he walked Davis, who took second on a passed ball and tallled when Barrett tripled to left. After Bluege threw out Sheely, Falk singled Barrett home. The big fellow had the White Sox at his mercy thereafter until the seventh, when they had men on second and third bases with, only | one out, but Judge took Bfrett’s| roller and initiated a double-pl Champs Get Two in Second. The Nationals offset the early Chisox runs with a rally in the second round Bluege rolled out, but Peck and Ruel strolled. Johnson singled Peck home and Ruel to second.

Johnson walked at the beginning of the seventh and was doubled to third by Rice. Bucky Harris lofted to Falk and Johnson tallled after the catch, while Rice reached third on the throw to the plate. Goslin's single counted Sam. In the eighth the Sox got to Mar- berry for 3 runs to tle the score. Sheely walked and Falk singled to center.

NEW YORK, September 21.—Set- tlement of the major league pennant races this week is probable. The Pi- rates need only four victories out of their remaining 10 games to capture the flag and the Washington five of their 12 contests. Irish Meusel had a big day in help- ing the Glants top the Cubs, 6 to 2 vesterday. He banged four safeties, a homer, two singles and a double, scoring twice himself and driving in two other tallies. As Pittsburgh not scheduled, its lead was cut seven and one-half games. Brooklyn’s losing streak stretched to seven straight, the Cardinals tak- ing the final of a serles, 8 to 4.

Harris showed plenty of confidence in Zachary and Adams yesterday. The former made a sorry showing against the White Sox Saturday, but came back smartly to uphold his manager’s faith in him. There were several long ball hitters available when Judge was perched on third base with the potential winning tally in the tenth, but the pllot let Adams know he believed him able to get that run across by sending the substitute in for his turn at bat. From the second through the sixth inning, Walter Johnson did not have to work very hard. In the fifth frame, he made but four pitches to retire Davis, Barrett and Sheely. That double play that nipped the White Sox rally in the seventh was a scintillating affair. Judge made a corking good stop of Barrett's hot grounder and a fine throw to Ruel to kill off Connally driving into the plate. The catcher was up in time to see Barrett breaking for second and whipped the ball to Peck for the out that retired the side. Mostil, with splendid catches, pre- vented Rice and Bucky Harris from getting more safeties than they did. His grab of the pilot's loft after a long run to right-center in the ninth was particularly brilliant. Among the guests of the Nationals at the Sunday fray were President Barnard of the Cleveland club and a number of the Indians. Their game scheduled with the Red Sox for today was played as part of Saturday’s dou- ble-header and they came down from Boston Sunday morning.

Although the Nationals used nine portside batters during the four games with the White Sox, the opposing rightfielders had but six chances dur- ing the series, and two of those were returns of safetles to snare runners attempting to get extra bases. HOME-RUN HITTERS HAVING TOUGH TIME By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 21.—Activity among the home-run hitters was con. siderably slowed up during the last week. Only 26 home runs were registered during the week, the American League having 14 and the National, 12.
