N Nats Beat Browns, GRIFFS SET SEASON MARK' n WITH 12 RUNS IN EIGHTH Pound Four of Sisler’s Pitchers in Scoring 19-4/ Victory—Covey and Marberry Hold St. Louis. - Judge’s Kick Brings Banishment. > BY JOHN B. KELLER. I NDULGING in their wildest scoring orgy of the seasen, the Nationals crushed the Browns w'ith a 19-to-4 count yesterday in Clark Griffith 0 Stadium, pulling’ up to even terms with George Sisler’s‘crew for the year and squeezing into the first division of the Amerjcan League for the first time in some days. 4 ; The victory put the Nationals in fourth place, just a per centage point above the Indians, who were beaten in ovértime by the Yankees. In bagging the game, the Nationals started slowly and midway of the contest were overhauled Wy the Browns. But they splurged.in the fifth iuning to go to the front and concluded the sound drubbing of the visitors with an eighth<inning tallying spree that set a ‘major league record of the coanting block. Tovr of Sisler's pitchers felt the stiie of the ‘National bats. They Wwie raked fore and aft for a total ol 19 safeties, totaling 27 bases, and 7 beses on balls.

The remainder of the safeties were gleaned off Chester Falk, the only pitcher of southpaw ge‘:‘auuion trotted out by Manager er. for the Champs and went through five frames before giving way to a pinch batter, but he was in long enocugh to get credit for t All but one of the Browns' runs and |Ger all but 2 of their 10 hits were made off the spitballer. Fred Marberry finished in good style. There was no sensational flielding in the fray, but it was filled with enough hitting, double-play making, pilfering and personnel changing to keep the crowd: of 7,000 in the stands in an uproar all the way. And to add to the gayety of the occasion, Base Umpire Red Ormsby waved Joe - Judge, National first sacker, out of action when Joe, in the fourth Inning, protested a decision violently enough to _incur the arbiter's displeasure. Myer pried open the second inning ¥ with a single past Mellilo -to_ start the run making of the day. Buddy took third when -Goslin crashed the apple agai the -right-field fence.

Another marker was chalked up by the Nationals in the third, that Covey surprised every one present by start- ing with a sharp single to center, McNeely followed with a double down the left-field line that shoved Covey to the far corner and Gaston off the slab. . Bucky Harris, first to face ivis, grounded to McManus and vas thrown out, while the pair of run-ers clung to their bases.

After Sam swiped second, Myer wajked. ‘The pair advanced as Davis cut loose with a wild pitch in making his_ first delivery to Goslin.

Johnson's only triumph over the Browns was achieved on May 12. Immediately ‘after that win the big fellow proceeded to lose seven games in a row, the seventh successive defeat being sustained in a game against the Sislermen at St. Louis last month. But Walter seems to be in fine fettle right now and having rested since last Monday, except for a couple of innings pitched in the exhi- bition against the Giants in New York Wednesday, he ought to be quite ready for the big job this afternoon. Johngon's opponent likely will be Tom Zachary, for many years a club- mate of the speedball king.. It was thought that Sisler would use yesterday, but the southpaw wanted to wait.until he could oppose Walter, and the Browns' manager agreed. It was Zach who lost to 'Walter here in May.
