Griffmen Beat West, 4939, Over Year : Bucs “Sitting Preity” After Dual Win GEORGETOWN A. C. TEAM TAKE SET FROM BROWNS - WITH SHUTOUT TRIUMPH Tigers Only Westerners to Hold Nalionals to Even| Terms This Season—Harrismen Have Won Four Annual Series and Can Tie Another. RY JOHN B. KELLER. LTHOUGH the Nationals still are engaged in a battle for nothing more than third place in the American League race, their record for the season by series is pretty good. By sweeping the set with the Browns in the 10-t00 vic- tory scored vesterday in Clark Griffith Stadlum, Bucky Harris’ bunch in- creased to four the total of annual series to its credit, while thus far only one series has been lost. The win over the Browns left the set standing 12 games to 10 in favor nf the Nationals. Clark Griffith’s hire- lings also have beaten off the Red Sox, White Sox and Indians. They played to a 50—50 standing with the Tigers and by sweeping the three games to be played with the Yankees in New York the latter part of the week would finish on even terms with the league cham- pions in the vearly setto. Only the Athietics have licked the Nationals in this campaign The Harrisled aggregation is through with the Western crowd after handing it a sound trouncing this year. In §1 engagements with West- ern outfits, the Nationals won 49 times, Jost 39 t and tied 3 times, But this good record came mainly the fine stand the Nationals against the Westerners here. They won 31 of 46 games contested in Clark Griffith Stadium, but triumphed only 18 times in the West, where they plaved the three tie games and took 4 beatings. In their first invasion of the West vear, the Nationals won 4 games, 6 and tied in 1. They did very well, however, the second time they went West, taking 13 games, losing € and tyving in 1. The third trip was disastrous, though. Th won 1 game. the first of the trip, then vro- ceeded to lose 12 and tie in 1. When the Western clubs first came here the Nationals won 9 games and lost €. The next visit of the West meant 11 victories and 4 defeats for the Harrismen, and the third visit re. sulted in 11 wins ang 5 losses for the locals. All of the Western clubs were hand- ed about the same rough treatment here during the season. The Tigers and the White SoX each played 12 games in Clark Grifith stadium and each lost 8 times. The Browns were trounced in 8 of 11 games and the Indians in 7 of 11 games. How dif- ferent in the West, where the Na- tionals were successful only on Dunn Field. There they beat the Indians in 7 of 11 engagements. At Detroit they won 3 and tied in 2 of 12 games, at St. Louis they were licked 7 times and tied in 1 of 12 tilts and at Chicago they won but 4 of 10 games. Despite their lack of success in the West, however, the Nationals did not lose an annual series to a club of that sector and have a fine chance to beat out for third position the club that held them to a tie over the year, the Tigers. Double-headers to be played with the Red Sox today and tomorrow at Boston ought to af- ford the Harris horde a great op- portunity to entrench itselt strongly in the show position. Zach” in Fine Form. With the left-handed Tom Zachary holding the Browns to seven hits. three of them not made until the ninth inning, while he and his team- mates hammered the offerings of a trio of visiting hurlers for 14 safeties, the Nationals had no trouble winning vesterday's game. Ernie Wingard, southpaw who started for the Browns, lasted only four innings, during which time the home crowd piled up a healthy lead that it increased at the expense of Elam Vangilder, who fol- lowed Wingard for two and two-thirds Innings, and Al Crowder, who toiled for an inning and a third. All of the Nationals except Mtddy Ruel participated in the attack upon the trio of visiting hurlers. Joe Judge was the spearhead of the offensive with three safeties, while Sgm Rice, Goose Goslin, Grant Gillis and Zach each collected two. The Nationals showed plenty of speed on the run- way and two of them swiped sacks successfully. Bucky Harris made two steals, once getting home when nego- tiating a dual theft with Goslin, The Nationals started scoring in the third round, in which singles by Rice, Zach Is in Form ST. LOUIS.

CHICAGO, September 26, — The cheery flap of an American Associa- tion pennant at last will be heard over | the Toledo ball park. Breaking through & crust of asso- clation tradition and misfortune which have passed the circuit championship to every club in the league except Toledo since 1900, the Mud Hens emerged victorious in one of the warmest races in years vesterday. Because of ijts championship the Hens will represent the association in the “little world series” with Buffalo, the Internationai League champions, in a nine-game series starting at Toledo next Wednesday. It took the last day of the American Association to decide the race. With a full game advantage over its two rivale, Toledo came through with a doubie victory over Indlanapolis yes. terday, 5 to 2 and 2 to 0. Kansas Cit: tied Milwaukee for second place b winning a twin bill from Minneapolis 3 to 2 and 6 to while the Brewers divided a double-header with the trou- blesome Saints, winning the first, 9 to 8, and losing the nightcap, 15 to 6. The Mud Hens were on top of the heap by a margin of two full games at the close. The Toledo championship was hailed by Thomas Hickey, president and one of the founders of the American Asso- ciation, as one of the greatest things that could happen for the league. “It is a fine reward for the loyal Toledo fans who have supported their | team through all kinds of base ball adversity,” he maid. . President Hickey sald he was pleased with the passing season in every way, and he predicted a better year for 1928, Oddly enough, the Louisville Col- onels, champions, barely escaped the cellar this season. The Colonels dropped the Columbus Senators, final cellar occupants, twice yesterday, 6 to 5andb to 3. ST.

Oakmont, where the recent national open was played, came in for its share of panning from the unsuccessful, as do all tough golf layouts when a championship is on. But that which caused most criticism were the furrs in the sand traps.

He was about 170 yards from the green. To one's amazement he l1id his second on the green from the trap. That was marvelous shot. 1 axked him af terward what trick he had used to v it. He chuckled, “My lie was a furrow but that furrow hap- pened to be pointi the flag.

Held was NOT GOOD PUTTERS, By the Astociated Press NEW YORK, September 26.—The hand that rocks the cradle cannot baby a chip shot. Impressed by the long driving of competitors for the women’s national golf tournament at Cherry Valley last week, George Tre- vor in today’'s Sun gives his opinion of the inferiority of women at the short game, in which one might think they would excel e writes; “Your correspondent takes his hat | off to the gorgeous long range sho's of the average top notch woman golf- er. We never cease to marvel at the length they attain r, hrassie, spoon and iron. With these devastating weapons the girls put to shame the average masculine invitation tournament golfer. “Why, oh, why, do these accom- plished women golfers fall down so abjectly around the greens? They are pitifully inadequate on delicate, subtla little strokes that don’t require brute force. They shine at those backbreak- ing, lusty shots that call for sheer strength. “It is sport's amazing paradox, this failure of the feminine sex at that gentle, dainty phase of golf which, one might suppose, should be adapted to comparatively frail women. | The hand that rocks the cradle cannot baby a tiny chip shot up to the lip of the cup. Daintiness and delicacy are not feminine prerogatives when it comes to executing approach shots. ' The title was won by Mrs. Miriam | who in | Burns Horn of Kansas City, the final round defeated Miss Maureen Orcutt of Englewood, N.
