He just could not check any club. But yesterday Horace was himself again. ~ He not only went through nine innings of toil, but went through them in workmanlike manner. All he allowed the Tigers were five safeties and two free tickets to first base, and outside of the fifth inning, when the visitors did their scoring, hé never was in any real difficulty. While the Tigers were being held at bay by Horace, the Nationals pro- ceeded to wallop a_trio of Detroit pitchers. Kenneth Holloway started in the box for the visitors, but he was stormed from the game in the fourth inning. The Nationals had reached him for eight hits and they nicked Sam Gibson and Owen Carroll, who followed Holloway. for one each to swell their total for the game to 10. The Nationals jumped into a lead early, scoring twice in_ the second inning. Then singles by Goose Goslin. Ossie Bluege and Bob Reeves brought one run and a squeeze play with Lisenbee doing the bunting brought Bob Fothergill singled and, after Red Wingo_hoisted to McNeely, another hit rattled off Johnny Neun's bat. Bernard_ DeViveiros sacrificed. then Larry Woodall shot a double by Mc- Neely to get two teammates across the plate. After that, Charley Gehringer’s sin- gle, with one gone in the sixth, and Warner's one-baser with one out in the eighth were all the hits gleaned off Lisenbee, but the Nationals kicked in with another marker in the sev- enth. Goslin singled and moved up a base when Gehringer foozled Ruel's rap. Bluege sacrificed, then the Goose counted as Bob Reeves was thrown out. GEHRIG SETTINGT’;CE IN “BIG EIGHT” RANKS NEW YORK.

Y., August 1 (#).— Sylvester Johnson, right hand pitcher of the Syracuse club of the Interna- tional League, vesterday entered the hall of base ball fame when he held Buffalo' hitless and runless. Syracuse won, 2 to 0. Of the 29 men who faced Johnson, only two reached first base.

CHICAGO, August 1.—Tex Rickard is sure of wide ticket distribution for his impending world’s heavyweight out 10, bout between Gene Tunney, the champion, and Jack Dempsey, even it he isn’t quite sure of a place to hold the fight. ‘While delaying announcement of final details, such as selection of the place and the definite date, Tex has been offered the co-operation of the railroads which enter Chicago in a plan to distribute the tickets The promoter announced that the railroads have proferred the use of their ticket offices as agenci for fight tickets, giving out-of-town cus- tomers an opportunity to arrange for their seats before beginning their journey to the current fight capital. The idea, he said, was given him by the railroads themselves, but has not been definitely worked out. It is planned to have the customers de- posit their cash with their local ra road ticket agents, who will then wire the Chicago offices of the road where the crders will be filled. Only tickets priced under $20, and exclusive of the $3 unreserved seats, will be included in the plan. The higher priced ringside seats are to be withheld until a short time prior to the fight in order to prevent counter- feiting, Tex said. Meanwhile, Tex was awaiting the outcome of conferences today with broad intimations in the air that by nightfall he may be able to announce definitely that the fight will be held at Soldier Field, Chicago, with Sep- tember 15 as the date. CROME NINE IS WINNER. Both Mount Rainier and Croome, Md., nines staged a strong finish i their game yesterday on the form diamond, but the itors flashed just a bit more punch and won, 10 to 8. Croome shoved across six runs in the final inning, while the home club scored four. It was a nip and tuck battle all the way. ~A. Duval, for Croome, with three hits, was the lead- ing batter.
