The 12-to- the season series icking they took yesterday in the game that concluded hetween the two clubs did not leave the Yanks with any pretentious records of their 1926 clashes with the erstwhile champions. Iy 23 engagements with the Harrismen this year. the Hugmen triumphed T times and were tied once. he Yar now have a season winning per- centage of .622, but they played only .545 base ball against Washihgton. Only three clubs have a chance to make a better showing inst the Yankees for the season than did the Nationals. The Athleties already fave trimmed the Hugmen 10 times and have 7 more games with them. ‘The Indians, with 6 more games to play with the Yanks, have beaten them | 7 times. The Tygers have won 8 ga n 3 more games. The Nationals did practically all their winning in the last half of their edule wtih the first 11 games played with 1nd company, but three were R. M. A.

'REDS GAIN SOMI:Z GROUND |GRIFF SILENT ON DEAL; DENIES BREAKING RULE President Clark Griffith of the Washington club today declined to elther affirm or deny the raport from New York that the Nationals are to get, in part payment for Dutch Ruether, Southpaw Garland Braxton, now chief relief pitcher of the Hugmen, and Outflelder Henry Cullop, Atlanta produ now working as a farmhand with St. Paul of the American Associa- t ion. Griff did take occasion, however, to correct the impression that play- ers can be transferred from one club to another after June 15 only by the walver route. It is permis- sible under the rules for a club to make any kind of a deal it sees fit if the players involved have been waived on by the other clubs. “No rule has been broken in the Ruether transfer,” declared Griff. “That’s all I have to say.” D.

Yanks Stage Two-Run Attack. Two were out when the Yankees put over a two-run attack in the last part of the inning. Harris and Goslin hoth tried to get to Meusel’s high one to short center, but it ifell between them for a single. Bob was permit- ted to stroll to second when the Na- tionals thought Lazzerl had been passed. Umpire Moriarty, however, yuled the fourth pitch a strike and recalled Tony, so Meusel was credited in Washington, despite reports to the contrary published in this and other papers vesterday. The official scorer j and other observers th the press box mistook Boss Bucky, standing in the short-field position at the time, for Myer, and gave Buddy instead of the manager the assist. There must have been many among the fans who made the same mistake, judging by the telegrams received here by Man- ager Harris. Numerous wagers con- cerning the identity of the relay thrower were made, hence this item.
