So th will have time to reflect upon the evi 1 a base ball way or suffer punishment.

Goslin may not be the only one to suffer such a blow. It Is no secret that several other players have in curred the pilot’s displeasure by their somewhat dispirited _performances. This stepping onto the fleld and merely going through the motions of playing will not be tolerated by Bucky. He 1s insistent that none of his charges be considered such stars that they will be exempt from regulations affecting the average players. Each man must give his best at all times and with spirit, too, or suffer the consequence: .~Goslin, according to the managy s not regard his business seriou: énough. .The Goose likes base bull, of course, but Harris fears the yoi ng fellow has come to consider himfelf so necessary to the club that what- ever he does on the fleld will be ac- “eptable to every one concerned. And ‘Harris does mot care for this atti- Jude toward the gume that he says &Foslin shows. Until Goslin sees the light, the Nationals will get along fwithout him and he will get along without pay. H is not the first time the Goose into difficulty with the powers that be on account of his secemingly indifferent attitude toward he game. The outfielder drew a sus Jension during the 1924 training sea- Son at Tampa and late last season the Jio0se again was suspended for lack “of spirit. On both occasions, Goslin, jfter promising to be a _good boy, was rought back to the fold. Apparently, hese lessons had little effect. | i Despite the strain they underwent | in the double-header played with the | Tvgers yesterday, the hottest day here | 3n vears, all of the Nationals were in %00d form to resume hostilities this | afternoon. But they were lopking for | o battle such as marked each part of | the double bill. | ¢ Griffs Use But Two Slabmen. | Having uch a slender pitching Natlonals . were fortunate | y two of their hurlers were | feeded for work yesterday. In the rst game Curly Ogden, probably pitching for the last time as a Na- igional this year, after a poor getaway, rformed remarkably well, only to nosed out by a 7 to 6 score 1 % In the second tilt the Nationals gave | Walter Johnson a fine start and after E\» Cobbmen had matched their big ad came back to win handily, 10 t Z Cobb used a flock ¢ach engagement. FBd Wells, followay, Wilbur Cooper and Lil Btoner were employed in order in the | first, with the last-mentioned getting eredit for the victory. Art Johns, Btoner, Cooper and George Smith took fling at the final and Smith was the | ser. | ; It was a furious bombardment that | gained such a commanding lead for | fhe Tygers in the opening encounter | of the day. Lu Blue started the on- laught by socking Ogden’s first F:c.h to left for a single. Then the of pi troit artillery opened fire in ear- est. Heinie Manush rifled a single to | ght, sending Blue to third, and Bob othergill crashed a double to right, tallying Blue. ¢ Harry Heilmann's Bounded over Goose and was good for two ba register- ing Manush and Fothergill at the plate.

Blackie O'Rourke | gucrificed and Jack Tavener's infleld rasure sent Gehringer to third, from where he scored when Larry Woodall gashed a one-baser to.right. .Ed Wells, ninth man up, ended the round With a roller to Ogden.

Manush walked and raced to the plate when Fother #ill hit to right for u pair of sacks Then the Nationals proceeded to chtch up with the opposition. i Benny Ta agger, Ogden's single and long fly to Manush accounted for a tally in the fifth, and in the sixth they forced olloway to come to Wells' relief.

The Tygers stepped out in the ninth to win. Fothergill bekan the sesslon with a triple to left, crossed after Taylor caught Heil- mann’s loft. It was the Nationals who started with a bang in the second tilt. They hung up four runs in the first in- ning after their lead-off batter was retired. Stuffy Stewart walked and Rice grounded out, but passes to Myer und Taylor filled the sacks. Moon Marris also walked and Stew- art was home. Bluege's single and Fothergill's boot of the hit sent in three runs and left Ossle at second. That brought Stoner to the hill, and the rampaging Nationals were check- ed_for a time. But they reached Lil for markers in the second. McNeely was hit by a pitched ball and bunted sin- gle Stewart and Rice loaded the stations s Myer forced out Rice, | McNeely counted.

In the third and fourth frames the Tygers were active enough to match this National total. Johnny Neun, batting for Stoner, singled with one gone in the third. He was doubled to third by Blue and tallied as Stewart threw out Manush. Big Round for Tygers. One was out in the fourth when Gehringer singled to center and con- tinued to second when Rice let the ball get by. Buck Burke’s single put Gehringer at third and Jack Warner’s | walk peopled the cushions. Cobb took Ray Hayworth's place at bat and drew a pass, forcing Gehringer over the plate.

Blue grounded out, but Ruel singied Moon home. ure by the Champs in the eighth. Mc. Neely doubled and Stewart sacrificed. Earl crossed when Rice tripled and Myer's two-bagger sent in the last run of the long afternoon. 0GDEN’S FINE SPIRIT PUTS FIGHT IN GAME Some of the Nationals who appar- ently have not been working to the utmost in games recently might well | look to the performance of Curly Ogden yesterday as an example of fine spirit in a base ball player. This voung fellow, knowing that he was in a manmer a club cast-off and that he probabl. tching his last game as a National, never- theless struggled against great odds and all but scored a_notable victory over the Tygers. Undaunted by a first inning that saw the opposition pound him to all corners of the lot and gain a commanding lead, Ogden stuck to his guns gamely and very ittle did the Cobbmen glean off him n the next eight rounds. His efforts was a flne example of faithfulness to duty and might well be considered seriously by some others of the club. Heat took a fearful toll in pound age from the National pitchers yes- ay. Ogden when he finished “the game was 10 pounds shy of his starting weight total, while Walter Johnson in the second game =uffered a nine-pound loss. | Weight reduction today, if any,| | was to be suffered by Dutch Ruether. Tomorrow, Stan Coveleskie is slated to take a turn agalnst the Tygers, | | while the Nationals’ newest pitcher, Alvin Crowder, may make his debut here Saturday. — | Both games yesterday were filled with brilliant flelding, with players of both clubs performing remarkably | well. In the first game, Fothergill, | Tyger left-fielder, made a spectacular nning onehand catch of Myer's liner in the fourth inning, while Blue at first did a great plece of work in the seventh when he knocked dowmn Bucky Harris’ hot liner and beat the batter to the bag. Bluege turned in a good catch in the third round of the first game, jumping to his left for a one-hand stab of O'Rourke’s scorching liner. Stewart and Taylor scintilated was retired on a sensational play by ue. Cooper relieved Holloway, and =field for the Nationals in the second tilt.
