! SPORTS. TNationals F. acing Fourth Place Rivals : Mackmen Again Slip LTS VT G - AYSETTLERGHT 'Dual Win Yesterday Asstures Griffs Even Split Wit Incians on Season. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, September A contest today, weather permit- ationals will be ugh with _the Indians for r. Tomorrow Bucky Harris and his band are to engage the White Sox in Chicago in the first g | of & serics of three that probably will determine_which of the two clubs in the set will finish fourth in this year's | American League race. A fourth-place finish wouldn" much to the followers of the N of course, but it would to the members of the club. The position means a cut of the world series melon, and the boys figure it would be large enough to buy the Winter's coal. By licking the Indians in the doubl header here yesterday each game end- ing with the cou cured themselves of an h the tribe for the se ed to 11 the number of ictori by them in 21 brushes with club led by Roger Peckin- paugh during this campai As the scores indicate, though, the clashes were not bagged easily yesterday. and get- ting the game needed to end the nual series their way may be quit task for the Nationals In the double header the Washington club showed Garland Bra and Sam Jones, but the Tribe also showed some high-class slabbing by Verne Underhill and Jim Moore, rookies. In each game the Tribe ont and fought off Wash- gallantly. Not until two were out in the ninth did the Nationals put over their winning counter in the initial engagement, and there were two out 1 the eighth inning of the second part of the bill before they broke a deadlock that had existed since filth frame. Pass Provides Margin. Braxton yielded the tribe nine hits i and two passes and hit a batter in the first fray. Underhill gave up one less hit, but he walked five batters and uncorked a wild pitch. It was his last pass that paved the way to the decisive tally that was driven over by Goose Goslin’s surprising bunt. The Nationals outhit the Tribe, five gafeties to four, in the second sctto. Jones gave five passes and so did Moore end walks blazed the way to all the scoring. It was a single from the bat of Joe Judge in the eighth that shoved across the Nationals’ most important marker. ‘Three singles were clustered in the sec- ond session of the first encounter as the Tribe put over its run. Harvel began the inning with a hit even break as the n- a . the < and pulled up at the middle station as | g Montague singled after Van Camp fouled out. Underhill got a hit with a drive over second base, but it only filled the sacks as Harris by a great effort knocked down the ball. Then Gerken Tolled to Cronin and forced out Under- hill, but managed to reach first just ahead of Harris’ relay intended to complete a double play, so Harvel's crossing counted. Not until two were out in the fifth did the Nationals make their tying tally. Then Goslin got a single with a grounder near second base that was too hot for Lind to stop cleanly, swiped the middle sack and raced to the plate | as Judge rifled a one-baser to right. { The Indians threatened trouble in this frame, filling the bases with two hits and a walk, but two were out and the danger passed when Autry whiffed. Two were gone in_the ninth when the Nationals won. West strolled and took third as Rice hit for a base. With the Tribe infield playing well back, Goslin_pushed a bunt along the third ; base line for a hit that scored West i easily. Ll Bluege's Error Costly. Bluege's failure to hold a foul fly from Myatt's bat figured in the mak- ing of the tribe run in_the second & inning of the nightcap. Following the error, Myatt singled and sent to third base ‘Tucker, who had walked at the . outset of the round. Harvel's stroll filled the sacks, but Bolton fouled to Judge. Montague, however, sent a long i fly to right center that was dragged down by West only after a hard run, and Tucker reached home. { _ This run was matched by the Na- tionals in the fifth. Harris walked with one out, and promptly swiped second base. Cronin slashed a single to left, ! and, the score was tied. !~ The making of the decisive counter began with West's pass. Rice's infield | erasure advanced Samuel a notch, and ! he took third as Goslin grounded to Bolton. . Then Judge lined a single to center, and the run that registered the Nationals' second victory of the day was in. Cleveland’s rookies deserve much eredit™for their pitching yesterday. They both looked the goods. = Underhill has been with the club some time, but for Moore, recently bought from Little « Rock, it was the first appearance in the | big show. Two recruit first-sackers were em- « ployed by the Tribe. Van Camp ap- peared to advantage around the initial station in the first game. Bolton, who played at the first post in the nightcap, moves around like a second edition ull George Burns. | Judge had a fine day at bat, getting three blows in the first game and two in the second. He fielded well, too, once getting his man with a throw to Jones after stopping a hot bounder with his adam’s apple. < There was flashy work on the bases by the Nationals, five sacks being pil- fered in the two games. In each game 'a stear nelped toward the first run. Ruel swiped two sacks in the initiai | encounter. He's becoming a cagey | baserunner. RECORDS OF GRIFFMEN . SB. RBI. 9 160 . Pet. 1,510 CHING.

[EXPRESS NINE WINS TITLE IN 9TH INNING A 3-run rally in the ninth inning gave American Railway Express a 5-to-2 v tory over Government Printing Office nine yesterday in the final contest of the veek-day league championship series.

NEW YORK, September 22.—The St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants meet in mortal National League combat again today, but there will be no anti- climax like Thursday's double-header, which turned into something of a dud when cach team won one game, leaving them precisely where they were before they started. Only a single game is on the cards to- day and so the test will be decisive. Bill McKechnie is ready to shoot Clarence Mitchell, only southpaw spit- baller ir: the big leagues, at the Giants and that is not good news for John McGraw. Mitchell has faced the Giants four times since he caught on with the Cardinals and has beaten them thrice. Against cagy Clarence will be pitted Freddy Fitzsimmons, who, with Larry Benton, has carried most of McGraw's pitching responsibilities this season. The two clubs enter this crucial clash with the Cardinals holding a two- game lcad. A defeat for the Giants would just about remove them from the running, for the rest of the Cardinal scheduic calls for seven games against Brooklyn and Boston and one, on’Sep- tember 30, with the Giants. While the Cardinals are meeting second division teams, the Giants are called upon to face {he Chicago Cubs and the Cin- cinnati Reds. § On the other hand, a victory for the Giants would put them within a_game of the top and might well hold off final decision as to the 1928 champions until the final game of the season on Sep- tembes 30.

Upper Marlboro High won the series last season, but Hyatts- ville is determined to make a real bid | T for the title in the coming ser ‘Though Hyattsville kept the ball in Catons- ville's territory most of the time yester- day, it was not until the last moments of the game that the locals were able to make their last goal and tie the scorc. Robinson, right halfback. and Moulden, left halfback, starred for Hy- attsville, whose goals re scored by Ginge!l, inside left fullback, and Bartoo, inside right fullback.

Next Friday the Hyattsville boys and girls will go to Catonsville to meet the Caton: le soccer and field ball teams in return engagements. JOHN EVERS, JR., ENTERS GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY John J.
