Largely because of an injured hand, Cuyler slumped badly at the start of the season, his batting average falling as low as .129.

GAME today and the Nationals will be through with base ball in so far as Washington is con- cerned this year. This. after- noon's clash will end the most A | dismal season the club has had at home | in years, so it seems fitting that the opposition should be provided by the American League, the Red Sox. At that, these Red Sox aren't so weak when it comes to tackling the Nation- als. They held the Harris horde to an even break at Griffith Stadium yester- day, the home side registering a 5-t victory only after taking a 3-to-2 lick- ing. By winning the first game, the Red Sox clinched their annual series with the Nationals. Of 21 games b tween the clubs, the Hubmen have won 12. After today's engagement, the Nation- als will do a bit loafing, not being | scheduled to enter another league game | - until Saturday when they will face the | Tigers at Detroit in the starting tilt of the final swing around the West this year. However, the club will get out of | Washington _Thursday evening, for on the way to Detroit it will stop over at Massillon, Ohlo, for an exhibition game on Friday. Drop to Fifth Place. Getting nothing more than an even break with the Red Sox in the Sunday double bill, the Washington crew fell | back to fifth place in the league stand- | ing. The White Sox took the measure of the Indians and crawled by the Na- tionals to get the last berth in the first division. However, Lena Blackburne's club this morning held but a half-game advantage over Stanley Harris’ battlers. The Nationals got good pitching in both engagements yesterday, although they had to send three hurlers to the hill to score a win in the second. Sam Jones went the route in the first tilt, and allowed the Red Sox seven safeties and four passes. However, there was little punch in the Nationals’ bats. They were held to eight safeties by Slim Harriss, and the Hub pitcher was bet- ter supported than the local slabman. An error by Bob Reeves in the eighth inning and his fielding sluggishness iater in the frame, when he muffed a double-play chance and thereby helped the Red Sox to a run, hurt the home cause considerably. But four hits were made by the Red Sox in the second encounter, three of them and all the Boston scoring being at the expense of Bob Burke in the first five frames. Then Jim Weaver hurled a hitless inning, and Lloyd Brown went to the hill for three rounds in which he yielded a solitary single. While their pitchers held the Red Sox at bay the Nationals got to Danny MacFayden for nine hits and four runs in six sessions, and found Pat Simmons for two hits and a tally in the last two innings. Nationals Start Scoring. ‘The Nationals were the first and last to count in the initial clash. Judge's double and a brace of sacrifices ac- counted for a Washington run in the second inning. In the ninth Bluege forced oui Judge, who had singled, made second as Regan pegged wildly, took third unmolested and scored after | Flagstead got Ruel’s hoist. | The Red Sox, though, did better be- tween these ~home-scoring frames. Three singles netted them a run in the fourth inning. Two passes, a theft and a hit meant another alien run in the seventh. In the eighth, Reeves muffed Todt’s high fly, Myer beat out a bunt, then came an infleld out and in inten- tional pass filling the sacks. A double | play chance followed, but Reeves after taking the ball from Cronin relayed it to first base too late to do any good. That sluggishness permitted the run | that beat the Nationals to cross. Some sound socking of the ball and an excusable error by Bluege helped the Red Sox to three runs in the first four frames of the second game. Bluege's misplay was a wild chuck that followed a stop of a grounder with his eye. The blow forced Ossie to retire and he was struck so solidly that he will sport a shiner for some days. After the Red Sox were through, the Nationals started and never stopped until the game was tucked away. . Myer Hit on Head. A pair of singles figured in the mak- ing of a run in the fourth, while in the fifth successives hits by West, Rice and Goslin _were good for another home tally. The sixth saw the Natlonals go ahead. Rothrock's two-base error after picking up Harris’ drive, a pair of sacri- fices, two passes and a two-bagger by ff (West went toward the making of two runs. Two singles and an infield erasure accounted for the score made off Simmons in the seventh. Injuries forced both teams to change line-up during the afternoon. Bluege, of course, left the yard to nurse his black eye, so Reeves shifted to third base and Manager Harris returned to action for the first time in several days. ‘The first thing Weaver did in his one inning of pitching in the second tilt was-heave the ball against Myer's head and the Red Sox third sacker, knocked cold by the blow, had to be carried from the fleld. Buddy soon recovered con- sciousness and this morning was suffer- ing nothing more than headache as a !result of the accident. CAPITAL GIRLS SCORE IN RICHMOND BOWLING!

By the Assoclated Press DENVER, September 10.—Pneumonia in the high altitudes. nemesis of many another health seeker, has taken Urban J. Shocker, 38, former pitching ace for the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns. He died here yesterday followe ing a month's illness. The major league veteran was suffers ing from heart discase when he came here in July after his unconditional re= lease from the Yankees, where he failed to hit his stride this year because of failing health. Shocker's major league career began and ended with the New York Ameri« cans, though he spent his seven best f years with the Browns from 1912 to 1924. He broke into semi-pro base ball as a catcher, and desired to catch when | he first played professionally. Coming into organized base ball with ‘Windsor in the Border League in 1913, Shocker reaciied the majors three years later when he was boughnt by tha Yankees for $750 from Ottawa in the Canadian League. He won five games and lost two for New York in 1916, went to Toronta the next year for seasoning, and themy returned to the Yankees for a year. He was traded to the Browns early in 1918, and hit his pitching stride the follow< ing_season. His best pitching average in the majors came in his last full season, in 1927, when he wont 18 games and lost 6. His average never fell below .500. ' His old strike-out wizardry, which was shown best in 1922 when he whiffed 149 batsmen in 48 games, began a steady’ decline the following season, and he gof ohly 35 strike-outs last vear. St. Louis traded the pitcher back to New York late in 1924. Shocker’s major league totals up ta 1928 reveals he pitched 2,672 innings iy 410 games, of which he won 189, los§ 115. During that time he struck ou# | 979 batters, walked 654 and allowed 12,698 hits. He played in the 1926 world series, working seven and two-thirds inning# {in two games, and was charged with | losing one game. | | | | 'BOWLING MEETINGS - LISTED THIS WEEK | Tonight—Athletic Club, Conventioni Hall. 8 p.m. Washinglon Ladies, 606 Harvar§ | street, 8 p.m. Tuesday—Business Men's, Recreationy 8 pm.
