Nationals and Tygers in Desperate Struggle for Top Place in Second Division “HAMPS SLUG SAVAGELY TO HOLD FIFTH POSITION feat Today Wonld Leave Harrismen Barely Ahead of Cobbmen—Moon Harris, Despite Injured Leg, Big Factor in 13-t0-9 Win. BY JOHN B. KELLER. id as the spell of exceptional weather that has Washington UST as tor sweltering is this struggle for J tu the finish of the set. Victory in two of the three engagements has left the Nationals in the th notch, but they are clinging there by the skins of their teeth only. \i upset this afternoon would not v th but a point advantage over the With both clubs swatting savagely, almost anything may be expected this series. The Cobbmen, natura’ rounding the ball at a fine rate, while the Harrismen in the three games posed of got back into the heavy hitting stride that marked the early of their stand against the Western invaders. pecially prominent in this at- upon the Tyger pitchers has en Moon Harris. Although a ruised left leg has forced Moon » retire in the st two encoun- ers before either was completed, he rund time to get three very valu- hle hits that to- led seven bases. 1lis batting has csulted in the king of 11 uns, 5 of which » scored. It was Moon who played such big part in the nttack that ught the 13- o-9 vistory over the Tygers yes- mooN i (erday. When he 00" MARRIS came up in the fifth frame he found e bases populated with clubmates. \Il Moon did was low-bridge Ken lolloway with a liner that went on o center fleld for a two-base clout, chasing three men home. Moon soon scored with the run that made the Nationals’ total at that time as zreat as was the Tygers at the finish. The clash yesterday was almost a repetition of the second part of the double-header Wednesday. As they d done the day before, the Na- nals yesterday jumped healthy lead at the outset only to have the Tygers match it at the half-way point. But yesterday the ‘namps did not wait as long to step out again as they had done the day before. Instead they staged one of their run-making orgies in the fifth and clinched the contest. Every National in the line-up ex- cept Danny Taylor contributed to the hit-total made at the expense of George Dauss and Holloway. Five safeties and a pass were gleaned oft Dauss before the second out was made in the initial inning, That netted five runs. Holloway, who re- lieved, did well until the fifth when the Nationals mixed seven swats with three of the eight walks vielded by this hurler .for eight markers. They raised thein hit total for the game to 13 with aw.nther safety off Holloway in the s\venth.- George Smith pitched for the Tygers in the eighth. and gave up nathing. Ruether Goes Rowte. Dutch Ruether went the route for the Nationals, but staggered through the middle part of the game. From the fourth throagh the sixth inning the Tygers got half of the 14 hits they made during the afternoon and in the first two of these frames accumulated enough tallies to tie the Champs. Three more of the hits came in the ninth when the Cobbmen scored three times. This ninth-inning tallying by the visitors appeared to be due mainly to a general let-down by the locals and was not pafticularly pleasing to the fans. ; Dauss got a good drubbing without any delay. McNeely started the Na- tionals' first with a double down the leftfield line and Boss Bucky sacri- ficed. Earl scored when Rice beat out = bounder to deep short. Myer singled Sam to third and Moon Harris strolled to crowd the cushions. Judge’s single to right followed by Heilmann's wild peg to the plate tallied Rice and Myer, while Moon made third and Judge sec- ond. Bluege singled his two mates home and Dauss out of the game. In the fourth the Tygers got a run back. Heilmann singled and Gehr- inger walked. After Tavener sacri- ficed, Heilmann scored as Woodall was thrown out. Ruether’s wildness paved the way to the Tyger scoring in_the fifth that deadlocked the game. Blue and O'Rourke were passed and Man- ush’s single counted Blue, Fothergill singled O'Rourke to the plate and after Heilmann was thrown out Gehringer singled Manush and Foth- ergill home. Run Orgy in Fifth. Then the Nationals made it a field day for themselves in the last half of the fifth.” Stan Harris, first up, drew Rice’s scratch single and bunt filled the bases. Moon with a double, emptied them of all but himself. Judge fouled to Blue, but Bluege's stroll and Ruel’s infield single loaded the sacks once more. Ruether poled a single to center to tally Moon and Ossie and put Muddy at the middle bag. McNeely singled Ruel to the plate, then Boss Bucky got a bunt single that jammed the cushions for the third time in the round. Rice's walk forced Ruether across the plate and McNeely tallied with the eighth run of the inning after Fothergill caught Myer's loft. A sixth Tyger tally was hung up in the sixth when Hayworth singled, took third as Holloway doubled and got home as Myer grabbed Blue's grounder and threw to get Holloway trying to take third. Erratic fielding by the Nationals helped the Cobbmen to get their three markers in the ninth. ‘Manush doubled and took third ifnmo- lested. Fothergill fanned, but Ruel let the third strike go through and Manush counted while the Latter made sscond. Bucky Harris chucked past Judge after taking Heilmann's roller and Fothergill crossed while Harry reached the midway point. Gehring-, er's single scored Heilmann. Hay- worth singled after Tavener fouled out, but Wingo drilled into a double play to end the hectic round and game, . FRENCH NETMEN LAUDED BY AMERICAN PLAYERS By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 23.—Vincent Richards of New York and Howard Kinsey of California have returned from their European tennis tour with explanations for unexpected defeats as partly due to a harder and slower ball than is used in America. __Richards, who was beaten twice by senri Cochét of France, amon % rs, paid tribute to European play- wsw tor speeding up their game and asveioping use of the half-volley.

DAYTON, Ohio, July 23.—Eight North American trapshooting cham- plonships will be decided at the twenty-seventh Grand American Championship and Handicap Tourna- ment at the Amateur Trapshooting Assoclation of America headquarters at Vandalia near here August 23 to 28. Six hundred competitors are ex- pected inasmuch as increased inter- est in trapshooting is declared to have been evinced since last year when 528 individuals participated. Besides scores of trophies and medals to be awarded winners and placers in the various events, $1,000 is guar- anteed the winner of the handicap event. The feature evenis of the meet will be contests for: The clay target championship of North America; the women's championship the junior championship; the class champion. | ship; the double target championship; | the women’s double target champion ship; the zone five-man team cham- plonship; the grand American handi- cap. There will ‘be several prelim- inary events. The Grand. American Handicap was won last year by E. C. Stauer, Ithaca, N. Y., with a score of 98 out of 100 targets at 17 yards. Claude Olney, West Allis, Wis., won the double target title in 1925, with a score of 191 out of 200. The clay target championship was captured by S. Crothers, Philadelphia, Pa., with a perfect score of 200. HE IS IN GOOD TRIM By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 23.—Babe Ruth's feat in catching a base ball thrown from an 'airplane 200 feet in the air and traveling 100 rrles an hour has proved one thing—he has kept faith this season in regard to physical con- dition. His exhibition at Mitchell Field yes- terday, when he captured the seventh ball thrown from a speeding plane, was followed by a remarkable per- formance at the Yankee Stadium. He hit a single and a triple and stole home during the contest. Throughout the game he aimed his blows at the bleachers in left field, for there sat some 300 of his little friends, all orphans. His triple almost reached them, and later in the game he shot out a long fly, which Bib Falk caught right under their noses. BAGGENBAGGAGE OUT OF RACE FOR $25,000 By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, July 23.—A field of six starters in the Coney Island Derby, $25,000 added, to be run to- morfow at the Coneylsland track, seems assured, although Baggenbag- gage, winner of the aLtonla Derby, has been scratched because of an injury. After a final workout at Home- ‘wood track near Chicago, just before Baggenbagzage was to be shipped here, Trainer Willlam Hurley noticed that the colt had gone lame. An examination revealed part of a bolt wedged in the frog of the colt’s hoof. In order that the Bradley stable might be represented in the derby, Hurley shipped Boot to Boot. This colt arrived yesterday. The other five probable starters are: Crusader, Display, Carlaris, Rhinock and Malcolm B, jr.

The Western Conference colleges have adopted a rule that the stu- dents may make only one trip mext season to a game away from home. This ruling was dlctated as a raeans of reducing the bibulous disturbances and gambling which have been char- acterizing railroad journeys in recent s hoped that the lesson will ccepted and that the one jour- which is permitted will be so decorous as to justify the authorities in not wiping out this single excep- tion to the rule. It will be dis- tinctly up to the students whether or not this happens. As to the alumni, nothing, of course, can be done—except to have the team play nowhere but at home. This. might happen if disorder con- tinues despite the measures that have already been taken to pre- vent it, Alumni can cause a lot of trouble through over weening enthugiasm. There seems to be no doubt that grads and barber shop fans did as much as any group of students— more, probably—to break relations in foot ball between Notre Dame and Nebraska. Recently the trustees of Princeton University made representations . to the graduate council requesting that gruduates returning to their alma mater at commencement modify some of their ideas concerning the scope of humor. More than one observer of great college events, in sooth, would prob- ably be willing to testify that if the alumni could be kept in hand there would be littla to worry about on the score of the students, who are merely following the example set by their elders. . After all, the main thing is the playing of the game. . There neve:r was any intention that what has always been the main feature should come to he merely a rather thrilling incident of an afternoon in a carni- val of license that extends over two or more days.

New will participate. Headed by the sallor musicians, the Postmaster General and Clark Griffith, president of the Nationals, with the clubs due to battle later, will march to the flag- staff in the far reaches of center field and stand around while the champion- ship emblem is holsted. Then they will march back to the shadow of the stands, with the mu- sicians doing most of the marching, and the real business of the day will get under way. There are but 21 players on the Na- tionals’ roster, the club being reduced to that number with the departure yesterday of Hank Severeid, Curly Ogden and Red McBride. Severeid, veteran catcher, who was procured from the Browns about midway of last season, when the Nationnls were in the thick of the fight for thelr sec- ond pennant, has gone to the Yankees via the waiver route. Needless to say, Hank was quite pleased by the prospect of getting more world series money. Ogden was not so well pleased in being sent to the Barons of the Southern Association, while the trans- fer to Parksley of the Eastern Shore League probably did not worry Me- PBride. He is just a youngster and far from being ready for the big show. ‘Both Ogden and McBridge wont un- der optlon and may be seen in Na- tional uniforms again. Stan Coveleskie, spitballer, was to do the hurling for the Nationals this afternoon. Cobb was llkely to send Earl Whitehlil, a southpaw, to the mound. Tomorrow Alvin ;Crowder, new National, may strut his stuff for the first time as a big leaguer. A fair fan writes in that she has has been annoyed at games here by men who are somewhat careless in the handling of their smokes. She complains that twice she has had dresses considerably damaged by sparks flicked from cigars or cigarettes by men seated nearby. The fair fan admits that some tense mo- ment in a game may cause a man to forget such an insignificant thing as # smoke or how dangerous is the lighted end of the cigar or cigarette, but she trusts the male element of the ball , park attendance may be more careful in the future. She has had two dresses ruined so far this season by burns, and these distressing occur- rences are apt to reduce somewhat her interest in the game, she declares. Goose Goslin, under suspension without pay for indifferent play, was at the ball park yesterday, but did not avail himself of the privilege of participating in_the Nationals' prac- tice. Manager Harris intimated that the Goose may be out of action for séveral more days.

All favorites advanced in their initial encounters. Leona McMurray and Gertrude Small will complete the one postponed set-to tomorrow. Mary Dininger, Elizabeth McDowell, Catherine Bentley, Virginia Moore and Ima Sfegrist came through their ini- tlal matches without conceding a game to their respective opponents. Miss Dininger scored in 12 straight over Mamie Ross; Miss McDowell took the measure of Almira Sheppard; Miss Bently eliminated Frances Mar- shall; Miss Moore blanked Thelma Hicks and Ima Siegrist bested Verdie Hyman in consecutive games. Fannie Dancy had a live struggle with Minnis Travis in the feature match of the opening group. Miss Travis won the first set at §—6, but, apparently fatigued after the long bat- tle, proved easy for Miss Dancy in the second, which the latter took at 6—2. The third was closely contested, but Miss Dancy proved the steadier, win- ning at 6—3. All second-round matches must be completed by next Monday night, ac- cording to Miss Travis, chairman. Results should be reported to her at the conclusion of each encounter.

Play in the municipal playground ten. nis tournaments has been slowed up somewhat during the past two days by the excessive heat, but a few matches have been reported and the directors on many of the grounds ex- pect to complete all preliminary en- counters before next Monday, accord- ing to Maude Parker, drector of girls’ activities. Two matches were reported from Twin Oaks yesterday. Antoinette Edwards defeated Lena Osano, 6—4, 8—6, in a hard-fought battle. Cather- ine Black was carried to three sets in her encounter with Catherine Gar- ner, but eventually won out at 6—3, 1—6, 6—2. The girls were evenly matched and play was close through- out, points beng hotly contested even in the second set, when Miss Garner took six of the seven games played. First round matches in the Virginia avenue event still remain to be played, but will be completed this week if the schedule is carried out as arranged by the director. Helen Altman is slated to meet Gertrude Richards in one of the first- round encounters. Louise Morgan and Betty Land will clash in the second and Eleanor Higgs is carded to cross rackets with Catherie Harwell in the third meeting.

Inside base ball is a walting gamee, and when a team is behind and has an opportunity to score heavily, the batters should take their time and wait out the pitcher. Pitchers have a tendency to go wild with runners on bases and a rood batter up. See if you can’t always work them for a base Is. Don't take a crack at the first one, because you are likely to kill a rally by hitting into a double. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE.
