SUNDAY LOSS BUT FOURTH IN 13 EXTRA-INNING TILTS Griffs Have Won Eight and Tied in One of Clashes Ranging From 10 to 1 5 Rounds This Season. Burns’ Double Wins for Indians. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ESPITE the 6-to-4 trouncing they took vesterday in the 10- | inning clash with the Indians, the Nationals have done quite well in overtime contests this season. Thirteen times the Harris horde has gone beyond the regulation nine innings in games during the cam- Paign, and eight times it has copped, while once it held its foe to a t Nine of the extra gnve been staged won six. The lone loss in the four staged on foreign fields was suffered in Sportsman’s Park at St. Lou tie was plaved on Navin Detroit when the jonals formed there. The overtime from 10 inn ngs length. The ve been three games of 10 innin, four of 11 rounds, three ©of a dozen sessions, two ended in the thirteenth inning and clash m which the Nationals finished on even terms with the Tigers. The Indians have carried the Na- tionals into overtime more often than 2ay other club. Four times has the | Tribe gone beyond the ninth round | When playing the Harrismen, 2 - terday was the first time Jack McCal- lister’s band was able to cop in an extended game. The White Sox have engaged in three extra-inning games With the Nationals to take two lickings. The Tigers in two overtime affairs were trounced once and tied once, While the Nationals broke even with the Red Sox in their pair of extra- inning scraps. The Yankees were overcome the only time they took the local crew beyond the ninth, while the Browns triumphed in their lone extra-round match with Clark Grif- fith’s hirelings, One More Game With Tribe. With their third-place margin over the Tigers reduced to half a game, | the Nationals were scheduled to tackle the Indians this afternoon for the last time this season. Should rain prevent play, however, the con- test will be staged tomorrow—that is listed as an off-day for both aggrega- tions. Wednesday afternoon the Na- tionals will open a four-game series with the Browns. Against the Indians yesterday the Nationals came out of the eighth inning apparently with the game in | hand, for they were on the good end of a 4-to-2 count. But the Tribe fell upon Tom Zachary's left-handed offer- ings in the ninth so effectively that before Fred Marberry, who was rushed to Zach's relief, could check the onslaught the game was dead. locked. Then Garland Braxton came on for the tenth inning and took the licking. The Nationals were outhit by the Tribe, 13 safeties to 12. Zach went through a stormy first inning in which he was nicked for three hits and a brace of tallies, then spread five swats over the next seven rounds. But he yielded three of the four safeties made by the Indians in the ninth, while Braxton was reached for a damaging double in the tenth. Joe Shaute, southpaw, started on the hill for the Indlans and his“pitch- ing was somewhat spotty during the seven innings he toiled.

Three triples |and two doubles were among the clouts at Shaute’s expense. During the last three frames, George Smith, righthander, faced the Natlonals and 1l they gleaned off him was two singles. Two were out hefore the Indians did their scoring in the first inning. Summa, on first base after forcing Fonseca, who had singled. for the second retirement, tallied when Burns whipped a two-bagger to left field, although faster handling of the sphere by Goslin might have checked the runner at third base. Then Joe Sewell doubled Burns across. Luke Sewell walked, but McNeely made a good catch of Langford’s loft to end the rally From then untll the ninth, the Nationals did all the plate denting. The Harris horde deadlocked the game in the second inning. With Judge out of the way. Ruel got a single with a | bunt to Hodapp and continued to sec- ond when the third-sacker made a chuck past the initial sack. Bluege's double scored Muddy and after Reeves was erased, a single hy Zachary sent Ossle across with the ne tally. With two gone in the third inning, the Nationals forged ahead. Succes: sive triples by Goslin and Judge ac- counted for a marker. A scoring chance was passed up in the fifth that tce beean with a double. Harris ficed neatly, but Rice was snared when he attemnted to get home as McNeely tapped to the Tribe short- fielder. * Another run was added to the Nationals' total in the seventh, though. after two retirements when Rice tripled and Harris singled. Indians Upset Griffs. Eichrodt opened the Indians'. tying rally in the ninth with a double and pulled up at the far corner as Fon- seca singled. Summa's single sent Eichrodt home, Fonseca to second and Zachary to the clubhouse. Burns, first to face Marberry, bunted a sin- gle that filled the bases. As Judge erased Joe Sewell the tying run was hoofed across by Fonseca. After Luke Sewell fouled out a pass to Langford again crowded the cush- fons, but Hodapp popped to Harris. Bluege's single at the outset of the Nationals’ ninth was wasted, for Ossie was forced out when Reeves endeavored to sacrifice, and Speaker, batting for Marberry, succeeded only in retiring Reeves at second. Stew- art ran for Spoke and stole his way to the middle station, but Rice lofted to_Eickrodt in left. Then the Indians proceeded to grab the game. One was out in the tenth when Braxton passed Eich- rodt. Fonseca popped to Harris, but Summa was hit by a pitched ball Then Burns looped the sphere to short center and McNeely, after starting in a trifle late, barely missed making a shoetop catch. The loft went for a doube that sent two runs across. Harris began the Nationals’ tenth with a single, but the only help he got was a boost to second by Pinch- batter Tate's infield retirement.

Grant Gillis, Foster Ganzel and Emil Barnes arrived this morning from Birming- ham where they concluded their sea- son with the Barons on Saturday, |’ while pitcher Joe Carroll blew in from the Johnstown club of the Middle At- lantic League shortly before yester- day’s clash with the Indians. All re- ported in good condition. Gillis, shortstop, who was given a trial at the Tampa camp of the Na- tionals last Spring before being farm- ed to Birmingham, and Barnes and Ganzel, outflelders purchased from the Barons, are expected to break into the last game with the Tribe. Gillis’ start in the shortfleld against the Indians is practically a certainty. As base ball law does not permit a major league club to have more than 40 players in reserve after October 31, President Clark Griffith and Manager Stanley Harris soon will begin prun- ing the present squad. The Nationals nggv claim 41 players, so at least one must go, There will nt out, too, for the club for several other athletes and hopes to get a couple out of the draft next month, Tris Speaker did not start in yester- day's engagement, remaining on the bench to nurse a $ore foot while Earl McNeely cavorted about the middle field. Spoke finally broke into the con- test as a pinch batter in the ninth. He may get more time to care for the foot ,now that the rookie outfielders from Birmingham are here. Bucky Harris and his Nationals are to be luncheon guests of the Cosmo- politan Club on Thursday. PACIFIC COAST LEAGUE. Los Angeles, 6. 1.

PENNANT RACE IS RED-HOT AFFAIR CHICAGO, September 19 (#).—A red-hot pennant fight is moving to a close in the American Association, with Kansas City and Milwaukee tied for the leadership and the end of the season only a week away. Each team has 93 victories and 65 defeats, count- ing games of Sunday. Both the Blues and the Brewers will meet the same teams, Minneapolis and St. Paul, in their two remaining series, and both will play these final two series at home, indicating one of the closet flag races in the associa- tion's' history. Kansas City jumped into the first- place deadlock yesterday by taking the fourth straight game from the Brew- ers at Kansas City, 4 to 1. THREE CAPITAL LOOP TITLES ARE DECIDED Two class champlonships and one section title were decided, and a game that will go far toward deter- mining honors in another class was played yesterday in the Capital City League. A fine battle in which Hartfords vanquished Northeast Motors, 2 to 1, to gain east section honors in the unlimited class was the high spot of the day's card. The winners will meet St. Joseuh's west section vic- tors, Sunday in the first game of the play-off series for the class title. Van Landingham of Hartfords and Roche staged a great hurling duel. Each gave up hut four hits. Hart- ford's pitcher, however ,fanned 15, against 5 for his rival. There was no scoring after the third inning. Both Hartford's runs were registered by Buscher, who each time scored on hits by Colliere. Tots Long’s homer accounted for Motors' tally. Long also got two more hits. Taking both ends of a double- header from Moose, Auth Senlors kept their class champlonship. The scores were 11 to 4 and 7 to 1. The winners’ all-around play was of high order. A robust late rally fell a run short as Moose Juniors dropped an 8-7 de- cision to Corinthians in the first game of the junior class play-off. The winners did all their scoring in the first three innings, getting started with a rush in the first when Beamer socked for the circuit with two on the runways. Corinthians will face Auths for the class championship Sunday. Scoring two wins over Aces, 10 to 4 and 10 to 9, Sam Rices yesterday won the midget class title. Rices had things easy in the first game, but bagged the second only after a great uphill battle. i, CROOM NINE IN FRONT. Croom nosed out Bladensburg, 9 to 8, yesterday on the latter's fleld in a Prince Georges County champion- ship game. Will Garner and Ben Du- vall pitched for the winners with Will Duley catching. Croom will meet Maryland A. C. at Croom next Sunday in another series tilt. WINS BASE BALL TITLE.

'SPORTS. rk NEED PAIR OF VICTORIES FOR NEW SEASON FIGURE Dual Triumph Over White Only Game Shy of 104 Sox Leaves Pennant Club Record Set by Red Sox in 1912—No Gain Made by Giants. By the Associated Press. EORGE HERMAN RUTH and | the New York Yankees were | a litle nearer to more base ball records today. Ruth y terday clouted hi fi fourth home run of the season, while the Yanks came within two games of a new American League record by taking both ends of a double-header from the Chicago White Sox, 2 un-lil 5-1. Miller Huggins’ clouting circus now | has won 104 games and needs two| more victories to surpass the record for a season, set by the Boston Red Sox in 1912, when they gained 105. ‘With only eight games left on the Yankee schedule the team does not | have a chance to batter down the major league record for victori 116 | —set in 1906 by the Chicago Cubs. | Ruth's chances of equaling or beat- | ing his record of 59 homers are none too good, but he believes he will achieve his goal if pitchers will only pitch to him in the remaining eight games. Gehrig’s triple and Lazzeri's sacri- fice fly provided the winning margin for the Hugmen in yesterday's first game, which was a hurling duel be-| tween Thomas and Pipgras. The| Yanks hit Ted Lyons hard in the| second contest and Ruth banged his homer off the Sox ace in the fifth inning with one runner on base. Giants Fail to Gain. ‘While the Pittsburgh Pirates were idle the Giants failed to gain ground in their fading bid in the National League race. Cincinnati's Reds ob- tained an even break against the New Yorkers in a double-header. Red Lu- cas shut out the McGraw minions in the opener, while his teammates got to Cantwell, Johnson and Walker, all recruits, for seven runs and 11 hits. The Giants took the second encounter, 4-2, by touching Jakie May for an early lead. Virgil Barnes was effective in the pinches. The Giants were out- hit, 10 to 7. The St. Louis Cardinals pulled up to within a half game of the Giants, who occupy second place, by trimming Phil- adelphia in a double-header, 7-3 and 8-3. Grover Alexander turned in his twentieth victory in the opener and Littlejohn pitched the world cham- pions through in the wind-up. Boston's Braves finally ended their losing streak after 15 straight beat- ings. They overcame the Chicago Sherift Blake was touched for 11 hits and re- tired in the eighth. Other teams were not scheduled. Sunday Scores. A summary of yesterday's games: AMERICAN LEAGUE. R.
