S Goslin Deplores Tough INABILITY TO WITH HIS HITS IRKS GOOSE Failure of His Frequent Bingles to Prove More Productive Peeves Middle Gardener, Who Is Hoping for an Early BY JOHN B. KELLER. AND, August 9.—Goose Goslin this morning was hoping he would be able to win a game with his batting before the LEVE Nationals end their second s tomorrow. While the Goose has been belti present tour, he is not at all satisfied dealt with him_harshly since the N: <lugger of the Champs’ line-up figure: than castual mention in the public print. “Can you beat it 7 to 4, by the Indians to put his team in front in the latter one for four bases, the other club al a rally that makes my hit as useful The Goose was “burning up,” as the diamond athletes have it, when viayer, plqued because of his ineffec- tual efforts, is at the exploding point. “Here I am playing as hard as I can since T got back into the game fter my suspen- sion last month, doing a'l in my power t make everybody realize that 1 can play base ball and am something worth- while to the Washington club. And what hap- pens, T ask you? Why. nothing in my favor. “All T get out of it the Goose continued, “is a sMghtly fatter batting average. That's fine too, but I want my hits to mean more to the club than they have been meaning. I want to ‘bust’ that ball and have the people know that it was my hit that put the club_across. “And Tll do that yet, belleve me. The breaks can't be against me all of the time. Just because they have been, since the Nationals came West, doesn’t mean that I am out of luck forever. It hasn't got me down and it will not get me so. I'll keep on trying and some day I'll come through with a rush,” the Goose concluded philosophical Many of His Bingles Wasted. It does seem that much of what the Goose has done at bat during this trip has been wasted. He hit well in Chicago, yet every time he put the Nationals ahead with his efforts they were overhauled. Homers by the Goose brought no victorles in St. Louls, nor did his clouting in Detroit turn the tide in favor of his club. And yesterday all his four- base hit did was add a little zest to the game. Goslin has been slapping the ball at @ terrific rate on this western swing. In the 15 games so far played he has made 28 hits for an average of .459. Ten of the safeties have been for extra bases. Five have been good | for four bases each, three have been | triples, and two of them doubles. The Goose has scorsd 16 runs and driven 19 across the plate. His work afield has been so good asked the Go GOSLIN. yesterday, despite a terrific homer he had socked PORTS. | THE EV.

The Goose has done so remarkably well since his shift from the left to middle garden that many of these Western base ball ex- perts opine that in another season he will be a worthy rival of such stars as Johnny Mostil and Ira Flagstead, the latter of whom before his recent injury was rated as one of the great- est flyhawks roaming about the center pasture. The Goose may not reach such a dizzy height among the fielding gentry, but he has performed fn fine | enough style to assure himself of a | regular berth in center. He appears to better advantage in the position with every game, and he has a good record to show for this road trip, too. In the 15 games in the West to date, he has had 61 chances. All but one have been accepted for an average 4. He has made 55 putouts and REUTHER TO FACE INDIANS IN FINAL TILT TOMORROW 'ELAND, August 9.—Dutc Nationals tomorrow in the last game of the series with the Indians.

GOSLIN NOW AMONG HOME-RUN LEADERS CHICAGO, August 9 (#).—Three old guns barked with new strength last week in the home run siege in the major leagues. They were the fence-busting bats of Kenneth Williams of the Browns, Goose ‘Goslin of the Nationals and Gabby Hartnett of the Cubs. Williams hit four homers to land with 15 along with Simmons with the Athletes as runners up to Babe Ruth in_the American League. Ruth incidentally bagged two more to continue his record-breaking threat, now at the 35 mark. Goslin jumped amongst the leaders with three four baggers, which ran his total to 12, while Hartnett, trail blazer in the National League last year, suddenly hit two-homers for the lowly total of five. ‘The leaders: American League—Ruth, New York, 35; Willlams, St. Louis, 15; Simmons, Philadelphia, 16; Lazzeri, New York, 14; Goslin, Washington, 12.

LEVELAND, August 9—The Nationals were to strive to regain their .500 winning percentage for the trip llles afternoon by send- ing to the firing line Walter Johnson. Walter did not fare so well in his last appearance in this part ef the circuit, but he went through a brisk workout yesterday and in such impressive manner that Manager Harris decided to send him to the hill this afternoon instead of withholding him until the final of the series tomorrow as had been planned original! , = George Murr: tarted for the Nationals yesterday and George pitched much better ball than the score against himvmdlca\_cs, ..’\Ighcugl_x handi- capped by three boils nestling in the armpit of his flinging wing, this latest addition to thc Nationals' staff got along in good order until a poor break in fielding got him into considerable trouble in the sixth. Then with the score tied, two out and the bases filled, Murray gave way to Fred Marberry and the latfer was reached for a hit by Tris Speaker that put the game on ice for the Tribe. The Nationals were beaten for the first time this season by George Uhle, who seems to have takeh a new lease on life this year. Uhle was a victim of poor support and contributed to his own difficulties by a wild throw in the early part of the game, but afterward Gosiin’s homer was the only real dam- age he sustained. Judge pointed the way to the initlal National marker by starting the sec- ond inning with a double. After Bluege sacrificed, Tate lined to Spur geon. The second-sacker had no rea- | son to make a throw to Lutzke hoping | to double Judge off third, because the National had not left that sack a | vard behind. But throw Spurgeon did. and so strong was his effort that the ball went to the Washington dugout and Judge romped home. Goslin's Single Productive. One was down in the third when Bucky Harris drew a pass. Rice bunted and Uhle, who retrieved the sphere, hurled it over the head of Padgett, who was covering second, and let Boss Bucky reach the far corner. There Bucky remained after Myer lofted to Jamlieson, but he scampered to the -plate when Goslin singled to leff. The latter part of the third saw the Indians tle the score without | knocking_the ball past the National | infield. Myer threw out Lutzke, but | could not get in fast enough for Uhle's slow roller and it became single. Jamieson dragged a bunt past | Murray and the latter failed to get to first in time to take a_retiring throw from Judge. Bucky Harris grabbed Spurgeon's hopper, stabbed at Jamie- son on the line, but missed him, then threw out the batter. That failure to get a double-play proved costly. #peaker's pass loaded the sacks, and Burns scored Uhle with a slow bounder that Harris got back of second base just too late to i | make a play on Spoke, going into that station. Then Padgett scratched a single off Bluege's gloved paw and Jamie tallied. Summa left three mates stranded by popping to Myer. iriffs Garner Two More. Two more runs were garnered by the Champs in the sixth. Uhle picked up Myer's roller, but pegged past Burns and Buddy pulled up at second. Then Goslin smote the ball on a line to a point between Speaker and Jamie son and it rolled to the fence back of « BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS AMERICAN LEAGUE. YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.
