One of the hits gleaned off him was a smash that Bob Reeves at shoristop managed to knock down but could not handle in time to attempt a ret Pitted against Hadiey was Willis Hudlin, young right-hander who has been the sensation of the Indian mound corps this season. After Hudlin was well bump- bt 11 were clus- inst him in ad- | dition to a brace of passes, and at the conclusion of the sixth on he re- tired a soundly licked pitcher. George Grant, who toiled for the Tribe for two frames, vielded four hits and two passes. To make scoring easier for the Nationals, the Indians kicked in with four errors, two of them made by third baseman Rube Lutzke. Every member of the local line-up, except Benny yTate, who assumed Muddy Ruel's place at bat in the eighth inn- ing, chashed into the hit column. Sam 2ce, Joe Judge, Goose Goslin, Ruel, Ossie Bluege and Hadley each socked afetics, those by Rice and Judge x runs. As it turned out, tionals settled the issue early, bunching three safeties with a Tribe misplay for a trio of tallies in the third frame that raised their total to four. t the outset Rally Breaks Tie. This rally broke a deadlock that had Just been created when the Tribe, with a pass to Lutzke, Hudlin's sacri- fice, nieson’s infield erasure and Forseca's single in the third got a marker that matched one made by the Nationals in the second after two were_out, with Ruel's ch single and Lutzke's wild heave, followed by Bluege's line hit to left field. One was out in the Nationals' por- tion of the third round when McNeely beat out a slow roller to Fonseca. He swiped second, but was held to that bag when Lutzke's fumble gave Har- ris a life. Rice singled McNeely home, Harris to third, and took second on the throw. Harris counted as Judge was thrown out, and Rice romped to the plate when Goslin hit for a base. Two more National runs were regis- tered in the fifth. Then Harris sin- gled and with a burst of speed tallied when Rice doubled.- Sam reached the far corner as a futile throw to the plate was made, and scored when,Joe Sewell, after grabbing Judge's ground- er, hurled poorly to Myatt at home, Each side counted in the sixth, but the Indians got only one run to the Nationals’ three, With two gone, Burns, Joe Sewell and Myatt singled successively to get the Tribe's run.

N RICKEY TO CONTINUE 'BERTH WITH CARDS| By the Associated Press. LOUIS, * August 8.—Branch | Rickey will continue as vice president and business manager of the St. Louis Cardinals, world champions, under the terms of a five-year-contract, an- nounced here by President Sam Breadon. : Rickey's old contract expires with this seaso! 5 “Rickey is largely responsible for the great organization the Cardinals have built up,” Breadon said. “There is only one way to get ball players now and that is to develop them in minor league farms. “That was Rickey's idea and now all the major league clubs are follow- ing our example or preparing to take similar steps.” Rickey was fleld manager for the Cardinals until May, 1925, when he was replaced by Rogers Hornsby, now of the New York Giants. BLACK SOX WIN A PAIR. Chevy Chase Bearcats dropped both games yo! a double header to Black Sox yesterday. The scores were 7 to 2 and 8 to 3. Bobby Stevens crash- ed for the circuit in the second game with his brother Ray on base. Reeves Sets A. L. Fielding Mark; Johnson Named Loser to Tigers Young Robert Reeves, fielding bril- for the Nationals yesterday, American League record for ssists made by a shortstop in a championship game and missed by one only a tie with the major league mark when his day’s work included 13 assists and one putout. ) The jumior circuit mark eclipsed was that established by Kid Elber- feld, who made 12 assists while play- ing at short for the Tigers in the second game of a double-héader on September 2, 1901. Reeves’ fine per- formance thus shattered a record that had stood for nearly 26 years. The all-major mark he just missed tying was made by Thomas W. Cot- coran of the Cincinnati club on Au- gust 7, 1903. In the game that day the Red shortstop made 14 assists. The major league record for the most chances accepted in a game by a shortstop was set in the first game of a double-header played on June 20, 1892, at 19 by Daniel Richardson of the old Washington National League club. He made six putouts and 13 assists, Richardson also made an error. The American League mark for total chances accepted in a game by a shortstop is 17 and was made by Bobby Wallace of the Browns on June 10, 1902. Wallace made six put- outs, 11 assists and two errors. In making his American League rec- ord, Reeves had chances in all innings except the second. He threw out Fonseca in the first round, Jamieson in the third, Joe Sewell and Myatt in the fourth, Hudlin and Jamieson in the fifth, Summa in the sixth, Lutzke and Cullop in the seventh, Fonseca and Myatt in the eighth and Eichrodt and Burnett in the ninth. He got Myatt in the fourth inning by taking Eichrodt's grounder and tossing to Harris for a force play. His assist in disposing of Cullop in the seventh came after he bagged mieson's pop for his only putout Bob threw to Judge to double Cullop off first- base. Reeves' finest play of the game oc- curred in the third frame, when he d gecond bese for a flashy stop 's hot grounder and with- ecovering his balance heaved to to flag the Indian. The throw low, but Judge made a smart up. The only time Reeves got his hands on the sphere without making a re- tirement was in the sixth inning when he knocked down Mpyatt's terrific smash and held it to a single. American League headquarters in that Walter John- 1nd Braxton will be game between Nationals and that the charge of the e played with the at Philadelphia on April 29 has been transferred from Fred Mar- berry to Hollis Thurston. A ruling by ‘headquarters also takes from Bucky Harris credit for a stolen base given him in the score of gers in 1 + game between Nationals and Indians played in Cleveland on July 11. In the headquarters ruling on the Johnson day game here, the official scorer is held to be in error in cha Braxton with the responsibility { for putting McManus, who scored the run in the ninth inning that put the Tigers ahead, on base, The official statistician of the American League holds that “the rule is that the re- lieving pitcher cannot be charged with the first batsman he faces T e if such batsman has ing >f the boxman relieved.” In the ninth inning of the Johnson a Tiger on sec- ond base and one out when Johnson was removed, after pitching two to Wingo. McManus relleved Wing bat as Braxton took Johnson's ce on the s ass to the ympleted. Then d drove in two runs that put the Tigers ahead. So the official statistician of the Ameri- can League rules: “Johnson gave McManus (Wingo) the advantage of two balls before Braxton relieved Johnson. Because of this handicap on the relieying pitcher he is not to be charged with, the batter getting on_base, but Johnson is to be so charged. Presuming Jobn- son had two strikes on McManus and then Braxton let him walk or hit, it might be allowable to charge Braxton with the responsibility for the batter etting on. BC.Under the rule as interpreted the loss of the game will be charged to Johnson, who is held responsible for putting on two men who later scored the tying and winning runs. Tn the Thurston-Marberry case, Thurston put on tying and winning runs before giving way to Marberry. The first batter to face Marberry got on by forcing out one of the men Thurston had left. The loss should be charged to Thurston, it has been ruled, as the “fact that Collins got to first off Marberry by forcing out Cochrane does not alter the situation, for had no runner been left on by Thurston for play to be made on as a fielder's choice Collins would have been retired at first base.” In the Harris case, the National manager was credited with stealing home when he crossed the plate while Speaker was being run down for the third out in_an attempted double theft. The official statisticlan states that “the rule (rule 85, section 9, para- graph 2) is plain that in an attempted double steal no steal shall be credited the man who makes a base while the other party to the attempted double steal is being put out.” Clayton Van Alstyne, pitcher re- called by the Nationals from Birming- ham and supposed to be motoring to the Capital from the Alabama metropolis, still was unaccounted for this morning. Having heard that he was not to be employed for some time the hurler evidently is in no hurry to get here. Tris Speaker hurt his left wrist again during practice yesterday and very likely will not return to the Na- tional linc-up until the series with the Yankees starts Wednesday. The club quite likely will have need of its hit- ting star then. ALEXANDRIA TEAMS IN BENEFIT CONTEST ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 8.
