Part 4—4 Pages Tygers Halt Griffs’ Winning Streak : George Vo RALLY IN NINTH INNING GIVES BENGALS: 6-5 WIN Neun, Cobb and Heilmann Détiver as Pinch Hitters| in Final Frame for Winning Markers After ats Survive Murray’s Collapse. BY JOHN ROIT. Scptember 18.—A B. KELLER. ninth inning rally by the Tygers to- dav ended the Nationals' four-game winning streak. With Johony Neun, Ty Cobb and Harry Hei'mann performing nobly m the roles of pinch-hitters, the Bengal bunch got two runs after only onc man had hecn retircd in their final turn at bat and beat Rucky Harris & Co.. 6 to 3. Neun headed the late attack agzainst Fred Marberry... He batted for Jack Warner and opened the inning with a single to leit. It was looper that Earl McNeely just failed to catch. After Jaak Taveyer ~acrificed. Cobb took Clyde Mar place at the plate and cracked a triple to the right- ficld corner. sending Neun in with the tving marker. | Al Crowder relieved Marberry at this point. Then the bulky Heilmann staliced to the batter’s box to swing for Pitcher Samuel Cicero Gibson. Harry whacked Crowder’s first pitch to him, scooting the ball past Bucky Harris for the hit that let Cobb romp to the copnting block with the big tally of the day. \ The defeat left the Nationa's with only a chance to tie the Tygers in their anntal series. ment, the last of the vear between these clubs. 1t was a heartbreaking game for the hold-over champions to lose. They humped Gibson hard all the way, col lecting 14 hits. They clouted safel: in all but the eighth inning. Gibs al=o hit a baiter and walked two. But the four-run lead the Nationals worked so hard to get off Gibson in <ix innings was matched by the Tiger in one, the «ixth. Then Georze Mu vay. who had ailowed but one hit and three passes up to t time, went to pieces. Before he gave way to Mar herry he was reached for two more sufeties and as many passes and when he left the slab the Tygers had a run in and the bases filled with but one ont. Before Marberry could settle to | his task the teams were on even terms. | when Boss Bucky poled,a one-baser {to left.

Both advanced safely the manager sliding home neatly under Manion. g The Tygers took the count in order the same thing in the eighth. In thi taiter inning. a National reached third base with two out. Marberry got a when with two_strikes against him his bat was touched by Manion's gloved hand. The infield retirements McNeely and Rice put Fred at the corner, but Goslin whiffed.

Tn the Nationals' fourth there was one out when Manager Harris singled. He was caught trying to steal. Bluege and Ruel then drew passes, but Mur ray whiffed vigorously. The Tyger: got their first hit off Murray and a pass, too, but a two-ply killing and a futile attempt at a base theft kept them scoreless. The fifth was a two-run round for the Nationals, the scoring being done aftét the first two men up were re- tred. Goslin singled to right eenter and pulled up at second when Myer looped’ a one-baser over Warne head. Moon Harria’ long single to center sent the Goose home and Rud dy to the far cormer. Stan Harris then also singled, tallving Myer. Not a Tyger got on In the fifth, but hoth sides did some counting in ithe sixth. Ruel opened the Nationals' ! half by scratching a single off Gibson's gloved hand. Murray sacrificed. Me- Neelv fanned. but Rice rapped single to left that put Muddy over the final base. The Tygers were much more active in their half, forcing Marberry to re- lieve Murray and putting over runs enough to deadlock the game. Rice got Murray into trouble at the ontset by letting Gibson’s single go by. That put the Tyger hurler on third Bine walked and Gibson scored as Manush forced out Lu. After Fothergill singled Hetnie 10 the middle station, Wingo's pass crowded the sacks. Murray's control went blooey then and he hurled three wide ones to Gehringer. That brought Marberry on the scene. Fred completed the pass with his first pitch, forcing Manush over the counting block. Kice ook Warner's fly so near the Infield hat Fothergill had no chance to tally after the eatch. But Tavener reached Marberry for single to center that registered Bob and Wingo at the big base.

According to the W ington official. who is accompanying the club on its trip, the fair fans of the National Capital will be guests of the club as usual on Fridays next vear. Other clubs may allow their athletes to engage in professional foot ball and baskel ball between the diamond sea sons, but not so with the Washington organization. George Murray, who was quite a fullback during his four vears at North Carolina State College. will not be permitted to accept a most substantial offer of gridiron emplov- ment. such as Garland Buckeve of the Indians has accepted. Nor will Buddy Myer. who was a basket hall siar at Mississippi A. and M., set a shot at the pro court game in the Winter. When the Nationzls move to St. Louis for their four games with the Browns Joe Judge very likely will be sent back to first base.

Von ¥lIm was erfspei with his irons dénes madr two intal mistakes throush the fairway. They cost him the championship this afternoon They came at the tenth and thir teenth, two mistakes Fob Jones hasn't made in two-score holes of champion- ship play. The one at the tenth found Jones hooking u long iron shot - into the trap at the green edge, and that at the thirteenth left his ball lying in mud and water in a ditch he had pre- viously had no trouble carrying. The morning round literally left nothing to choose between the final- ists. They were both around in matchins ‘each other, sha for shot, in a round that again found the cham- pion struggling to hold his game. Not in vears of this competition has Jones played so poorly and done so well as he did today. for instead of going to |lunch 1 down, he might well have turned 4 down, so lacking in im- pressiveness was his game. Bob Squares the Match. | Bob squared the match at the first hole in the afternoon, slipping a chip | shot from a bunker dead to the pin. while Von Elm's wide brassie shot found another trap and he couldn't get close on his recovery. They halved the second hole in par 4s, a perform- ance they duplicated at the third. And both. tries for 2s brushed by the cup at the short fourth, another half re- sulting, to leave them still all square Jones' .lack of crispness with his spade mashie should have put his ball in a bunker, but it held on the slip- pery surface of the hog-backed fifth green. It didn’t do him any good, how- ever, for Von Elm sank a 15-footer for a birdie 3 to go into the lead he never gave up. The tiger had gotten his grip, and nothing could shake him loose, Bob again pushed his iron second at the sixth and was lucky again not to be trapped. for his shot was far off the line, and a putt ran up dead. The long seventh found Von Elm |trapped at the left and Jones failing o | get home with his iron second from the riugh. They halved in 5z and #plit_the eighth in par 4s.
