Our pitchers, although we have only a few of them right now, are getting along better. This warm weather ought work wonders with Stan Coveleskie and Dutch Ruether.

Griff's contention that an able new member spurs the club veterans to greater endeavor seems to have been horne out vesterday. After the Yankees had staked themselvem to a | 3run lead at Dutch Ruether's ex- | pense in the first slx innings, it was | Danny Taylor, who joined the club only last Wedneaday, that inaugu- rated a rally in the saventh to drag the game out of the fire.

That was made in the second inning with a pass, a wild pitch and & couple of sacrifices. But with one gone in the seventh Taylor rattled a triple off the right-field barrier and a deluge of hits followed, to net the Nationals five tallies. Ross Bucky aingled Tavlor home, Rice hit a one-baser and Goslin's single to center scored Harris and put Rice at third. Judge's triple to left oanter was gond for twe more mark- ers and put Thomas out of action. Bob Shawkey, who finished the frame, disposed of Bluege, but Myer rified a doubls to left and the Nationals were two runs to the geod. After one was out in the ninth the Yanks got back one of ths runs when Gehrig propelled the bail into the sun parlor back of left center. That let Ruethere out and brought Fred Marberry to the hill. Babe Ruth batted for Paschal, but the Bam- bino's best was a high fiy to Goslin, and Myer's nifty stop of Carlyle's drive, followed by Judge's equally nifty pick-up of Buddy's hectic heave, ended hostilities, CRESCENTS SEEKING GAME FOR MONDAY I"op Dulin’s Crescent base ball nine, plaving today at Kort Myer and heduled to see action tomorrow at 2 o'clock on the Walter Reed diamond, 13 without a game for Monday.

Inside Golf By Chester Horton In starting the back swing with any of the clubs, it is # common practice to lead the clubhead away from the ball with the hands. or wrists. Gnod golf can he playod this way, but a better method is to move the club- head away from tha ball with the left arm and at the same time let the clubhead drug slightly behind the wrists. That is, as the hands move away the clubhead follows Jjust slightly be hind them. This is the drag-back principle. This puts whip and springiness into the club and pro- | motes the best poasible rhythm, be- | cause this manner of starting the | club is rhythmic in itself. Observe ! how you would throw a stone: Fivst, the hand dips forward und drags after the arm.
