In #ix of the nine innings the Sislerites | were set down in order and but for the fact that two of their bingles were grouped with the only pass Joe issued @ shut-out would have been recorded. As it was the Nats kept pace with the Yanks and by winning today can take first place if the Hugmen Falk Wild and Weak. Chester Falk proved both wild and jneffective at the outset. He failed to last out the first inning and had to retirs with two runs charged against him and the bases loaded with one out, but Davis promptly hated the cham- pions in impressive fashion. Mc- Neely singled to center for a starter, Harrls walked, and the corners were crowded when Rice beat out a slow roller to McManus, who hesitated just Jong enough between trying for a force-qut and pegging the ball to give Sam a life. Goslin poped softly, but Judge's single off Falk's glove cashed McNeely, and Harris was forced over with a tally when Bluege walked, a circumstance that actuated Manager Sisler to beckon for Davis. Dixle applied the brakes in most approved style by fanning Peck and limiting Ruel to an infield tap. Some snappy brunonian pegging limited the Griffmen to a lone tally in the fourth. McManus' wild throw gave Ruel a life with one gone and when Bush singled to right Ruel was flagged at third on Durst’s fine throw 10 McManus. McoNeely then tripled to right center and was killed attempt. ing to stretch it into a heme rym, via the Durst-Lamotte, Davis-Schang route, The first 13 Browns to face Bush were set down In order, but Bush's leg work on the runways the inning previous took its toll of Joe, who was | reached for a pair of markers in the | fifth. McManus was franked, Jacob- | son singled to left and foliowing; Schang'’s bounder to the box Lamotte looped a safety to right that counted both his mates.

RUTHISNOTAMONG HEAVY BAT SWINGERS | | By the Associated Press Four players share the distinction of swinging the heaviest bats in the major leagues. Babe Ruth, king of sluggers, is not one of them—as a matter of fact, his biudgeon is 4 ounces lighter than the 46-ounce clubs wielded by Eddie Roush of the Cincin- nati Reds, Ken Willlams of the St.| Louais Browns, Hank Severeid of the | Washington Nationa ank" | Snyder of the New Yor This quartet has succeeded to the | place once occupied who had the reputation of being the strongest man in base ball while a| member of the Chicago Cubs. Miller toted a wagon tongue weighing 50 ounces. Jacques Fournier and George Kelly, | ¥ first basemen of the Dodgers and Giants, swing 40-ounce sticks, but the bat of Rogers Hornsby, champion hit ter of the Nationa! League and suc- cessor to Ruth last year as home run king, weighs only 36 ounces. INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE. 1 Murquis and Eyon:-Barnes. Miller. Frank- | touse 4nd Miller ! New Rochester R : Brads.

Peck then also walked and in an at- tempted double steal Bluege was called out at the plate on a close play when Harry Rice recurned Schang'’s peg. A brace of St. Louis miscues figured in the final marker achieved by the Nationals in the sixth session. Ruel led with a double over the far corner and promptly rushed to that station when Schang heaved wildly in at- tempting to pick him off second. Bush failed to help and McNeely died steal- ing after drawing a pass, but the run registered when McManus fumbled Harris’ bounder. Unsupported singles by McManus and Durst were all the Browns could achieve against Bush in the last four frames, and the Griffs, although load- ing the bases in their final sesslon, with Wingard on the rubber, due to Bush's pass, McNeely’s safety and the pitcher’s wild toss of Harris’ bunt, were unable to count as Sam Rice hit into a force play and Goslin provided an infleld death. BASE BALL SECRETS By Sol Metzger. To Talie Wide Throws to Base. NOT THIS B tndgn— Frequently, a big leaguer will hook the base with his rear foot when reaching out to take a wide throw when a catch means a put- out. He does this to prevent be- ing drawn away from the base as he reaches for the ball. That is what the player on the left in the illustration is doing., The player on the right has reached for such throw, and because he didn’t hool Norfolk, 0. Ri 6. PIEDMONT LEAGUE.
