LOUIS ST, LOUIR, June 19.—Rain was threatening here this morning, but the local weather forecast called for a clear afternoon. 1If the Natlonals get through this serfes without a post- ponement it will he the first set played without interruption by the eleménts ®ince the club left home last month. McManus made the banner play of the geme vesterday when he took a sidewise dive to spear Goslin's liner in the third inning. Marty was prone when he got the ball, but managed to seramble to his feet in time to relay it to Melillo, doubling &am Rice off the middle snck.

The spithall veteran has done good work during the trip, his record for the fJaunt being two victories against one fefeat. Covey pitched the only game won in Detroit and the only one cap. ured in Cleveland. He hurled well in Chicago, too, although defeated. Covey's opponent was exp Flam Van Gilder. who has had indiffer- ent success In the hig show. At times this season the elongated moundaman has heen remarkahly effective. How pver, he never seemed particularly formidable when oppesing the Na tionals in past campaigns. Ruether Displays Form. Given hurling of the brand put forth yesterday hy Dutch Ruether, the Na tionale ought to get along well this afternoon. Dutch pitched a game worthy of the clever curve ball artist he is when in true mound form. He appeared to great advantage in his game against the White Sox in Chicago last Sunday, his first start since May 21, because of an operation on hia left elhow. He appeared to even greater advantage vesterday, even though he was taken from the fray atter the ninth inning. The Natlonals had jumped into the lead with a rally im the tenth, and the Southpaw swinging Dutch’ was withdrawn solely to give the right- hand hitting Joe Harria a_chance at the offerings of the portside pitching Frnie Wingard. Dutch apparently was strong enough to keep going on the hill. As it was, Fred Marberry toed the slab in the tenth and held the Browns at bay. Dutch Yields Seven Hits. Duteh wag nicked for seven safeties during his nine-inning term. In each of the three frames the Browns scored he was reached for a pair of hits. But the run the opposition got in the second session was unearned and the other markers were made after two were out in each instance. The tying tally was a home-run clout into the left-field stand by Oscar Melillo in the eighth. The Nationals took a crack at two pitchers, and Muddy Ruel put both of them ont of commission. Dixie Davis, who started for the Browns, became as wild as the proverbial hawk in the second seasion and walked the first three men up. Then Ruel singled two men home and Dixie to the showers.

N. versity of Washington's giant boat- men, victorious over Princeton by 8 lengthe in a race of 1% miles over Lake Carnegie vesterday, leave for Poughkeepsie tonight to have a week's training hefore entering the national championship on the Hudson. This victory places the huskies of Rusty Callow and the Naval Academy elght on ahout a_par &o far as fa- vorites go for ‘the Poughkeepsie ent. There are no direct figures for comparison, but Navy ran away from Pennsylvania, and Penn heat Princeton. Last year Washington finished sec- ond to Navy,on the Hudson, which is a 4-mile test. This time the Hus- kies probably will present eight of the biggest men ever to paddle to- gether, for they anverage far over 6 feet in height Although Callow evidently ordered his eight to take the Princeton race | “in stride,” and from all appearances | they did no more than that, there appeared to be great power. The varsity crew fs being trained for 4 miles rather than 1%, and perhaps that is why it failed to -attempt a spurt.
