(., SUNDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29 20, * VEHIT SHUTOUT HURLED BY HADLEY Nationals Ham Pair of| Rookie Indian Boxmen and Win by 6 to 0. BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, September 22.—More rookie pitchers were used by the Indians today. and the Na- tionals took the final gamc of the year with Roger Peckin- | paugh’s band. 6 to 0 | They laced the offerings of Wesley | Ferrell, a righthander fresh from Terre Haute of the Three-1 League, for 10| hits and four runs in the first seven | fnnings. Cleveland errors h-lped the Nationals to some extent, but they | really clinched the game with a five-hit attack in the sixth session. Then Leslie Barnhart, a product of the Nebraska State League, pitched two innings. In the ninth he yielded two hits, then walked three batters to force two runs across. Bump Hadley toiled on the hill for the Nationals and after a wild start had the game well in hand. He al- lowed the Tribe but five hits and after the fourth inning never was in serious trouble. The victory gave the Nationals a sweep of the three-game set with the Tribe and the annual series with the club, 12 games to 10. Many Runners Left On. | Runners of beth sides dotted the base paths frequently before there was any scoring. Judge walked and Ruel singled in the Nationals' second, and they ne- gotiated a dual theft as Harris became the second out when he let a third strike go by. Cronin, though, hoisted to Dorman. Dorman'’s single and passes to Bolton and Goldman crowded the sacks with Indians in the latter part of the frame with but one out. Ferrell and Gerken | lofted out, however. | The Nationals loaded the cushions in the third with two walks and a hit, but there were two oui. and Bluege ended the round by forcing out Judge. Muyatt opened the Tribe's fourth with a two-bagger. After Goslin made a spectacular catch of Dorman'’s liner, a | passed ball put Myatt at third, and Bol- ton walked Judge then took Goldman’s grounder and nailed Myatt at the plate, while Goslin went far back for Ferrell's fly. In the fifth the Nationals broke the fce. The way to a run was blazed by Goldman's_error. The shortstop gave Hadiey a life by heaving high to first after picking up a slow grounder. West singled Bump to second: then both run- ners held their bases while Rice and Goslin hoisted to the outfield. Judge, though, drove a single through the box to conter, and Hadley counted, while West went to third. Judge pilfered sec- ond before Bluege walked, but the three Nationals weree stranded when Gerken got Ruel's hoist. Three More in Sixth.

Two National runs crossed in the ninth when Barnhart, the Indians’ sec- ond pitcher of the day, went wild and walked Cronin, Hadley and West in suc- cession after two were out. Judge and Bluege had started the round with: sin- gles and made a double steal, so the passes to Hadley and West forced over Tunners. NOTED OF THE NATIONALS CLEVELAND, September 22.—Judge made a fancy catch to keep a hit from TTucker 1n the third inning. Joe leaped | high and speared a liner with his gloved hand. Goslin's grab of Dorman’s liner in the fourth was a nifty bit of work. The Goose had to run far back to get the wind-twisted drive.

DAVIS-ELKINS WINS MORGANTOWN, W. Va. September 22.—Davis-Elkins College flashed a starting aerial attack and a quartet of hard-working backs here today, and defeated West Virginia University's 1928 grid machine, 7 to 0, in the opening same of the schedule. The Scarlet Hurricane scored its touchdown near the close of the first quarter, the direct result of a 35-yard pass from Rengle to McKinney. Four attacks upon the Mountaineer line gained the necessary 7-yards and a touchdown. Smi*h's place-kick was good for the extra point. Through the first half the Mountain- eers were forced to play defensive ball in their own territory. The Mountamneers resorted to an aerial game when they found it impos- sible to solve the D. and E. defense, but ere able to make only three first downs during the contest. all of which were recistered by the air route. The Scarlet Hurricane accounted for eight first downs by means of a varied and well executed attack. More than 8,000 saw the game. Line-Up and Summary. W. Va. (0). Positions.

POTOMAC BOAT CLUB FOUR. Left to right, they are: A. A. Bog! WINNERS OF ONE OF FEATURES OF INTERCLUB REGATTA B. Smith, {Has Seen Service in Seven Minor Leagues—We: LEVELAND, September 22— Just a season wind-up tour for the Nationals, this swing through the West, but not a dull one by any means. The club is playing “heads up” base ball and that's enough to brighten any trip. The Nationals started poorly, but they are touching off all the fireworks they have to make a blazing finish. Much of interest has happened thus far in the Nationals' tourney through the West. Sam West has made himself a regu- lar outfielder for the remainder of the season and promises to be the leading candidate for the center garden berth when the club ass>mbles for training at Tampa next Spring. p Goose Goslin's consecutive-game hit- ting streak ended at 25 games when he failed to drive the ball to safety in the second part of the double-header with the Indians on Friday. The Goose, though, has been throwing well enough lately to indicate that the right arm so useless to the club through most of this season should be O.K. at the outset of the n>xt campaign. Al Bool, big catcher ‘bought from Nashville, who reported to the Na- tionals at Detroit, has done a deal of traveling in base ball and is no young- ster. play at third basz and good work at bat that is making this his greatest year in the big show. Bucky Harris’ return to second base instead of keeping Bob Reeves at that station probably means that Bob has about been counted out as a big league infielder. Joe Judge grows younger daily and his_performanc: around the first base and at bat in addition to the genersl pepper he displays stamp him as the man most valuable to his club this year. There are hints that a number of the players on the Nationals' now swollen Teserve list are ‘“cover-up” men and that many who do not pass from the club in Winter deals will get per- functory trials only -at Tampa next Spring. Last, but not least, the rumor that Harris will manage the Detroit Club next year persists out this way, al- though nothing can be learned from an authoritative source, Nor are any de- nials coming from authoritative'scurces. 1t appears that when Red Barnes hurt his leg during the first game of the double bill the Nationals played with the Indians in Washington on August 25 and had to turn his job over to West at the beginning of the sec- ond game, he just about lost his place in center field, for West has been romping to glory in the pasture and at bat since he crashed into the line-up that day. In fact, Sammy right now must be reckoned among the best yuun{; out- fielders in the league, if not hailed as the best. Not only is he the same re- markable fly hawk he showed himself to be in the scattered chances he had to strut his stuff, but he is virtuglly a finished outfielder now, for he has been in steady action long enough to learn position play. He knows the habits of batters of rival clubs and generally is able to so place himself afield that he may make catches easily. Above all, though. is his great im- provement at bat. For months it was feared West never would overcome his shyness at the plate that resulted from the serious beaning he suffered shortly before coming to the Nationals from Birmingham. Sammy simply could not stand bravely at bat. But that shyness has.gone. He stands up there with the best of them now, and his recent hit- ting has been one of the sensations of the league. He has socked the ball unmercifully in the West. From a standing well down In t. 200 class, West has in the past montn lifted himself above the ’300 mark, and promises to go higher. And that’s some lift for a chap Who only last year batted no better than .239. In Washington, on August 21, Goslin in four trips to the plate failed to get a hit off Grady Adkins of the White Sox. The next day, though, he got two hits In four trials against young Ed Walsh of the Chicago outfit, and con- tinued to get one or more hits per game through the first part-of the double- In the 25 consecutive engagements the Goose drove out 36 safeties. Then the recruit Jim Moore stopped him in the second game Friday. But the Goose isn't annoyed. He figures he still can carry on to the Al Bool, Washington Rooli{e Catcher, Is a Base Ball Rover Bluege and Judge Starring—Goslin’s Arm Seems 0. K.—Low-Down on Harris Due Soon. Ossie Bluege has -conti.ued his fine | header played in Cleveland on Friday. | | American League batting championship. And, what's more, he believes he'll bring to the Washington club next year a throwing arm as strong as ever. Every once in a while now Goslin cuts loose a throw as good as any he ever let g0 in past seasons. And up to this year he had as strong a throwing arm as any in the big show. A steady rest during the Winter and the wing should be in fine fettle for the 1929 campaign. Bool is a_base ball rover. The big chap recently procured from Nashville has caught—and has done some out- fielding, too—in seven minor leagues and had a_couple of trials with the Cardinals. He started in 1922 with the Nebraska State League club of his home town, Lincoln, and was at the Cards’ camp in 1923. The St. Louis club ship- ped him to Syracuse of the Interna- tional League, and he finished the sea- son with Montreal of the same circuit. In 1924 he was with Sioux City, Iowa, of the Tri-State League and Fort Smith, Ark., of the Western Association. He had another shot at the Cards in their 1925 camp and was sent to Quincy, IIL, of the Three-I League. In 1926-27 he played with Oakland of the Pacific Coast League, and left that club in June this year to go to Nashville of the Southern Association. He i5 a husky fellow, standing 5 feet 11 inches and weighing 185 pounds. Bool is 26 years old. What a third sacker the Washington club has in this Bluege! He can dig 'em up, pull 'em down and throw ‘“strikes” to first base, and, more, he has devel- oped into a strong hitter and a clever base runner. He is the finest third sacker to be found in the American League today. There has been talk of trading Bluege for some younger player. Foolish talk, that's all! The Washing- ton ownership would make itself the laughing stock of base ball with such a trade unless it happened to get one of the superstars of the game for Ossie. And as far as is known, there are no superstars on the market right now. Reeves may figure in a trade during the Winter. The former Georgia Tech boy has had a thorough trial in the Washington infield from second base to third base and has not measured up to major league requirements in any of the positions. He may come through as a big league infielder in another season or two, but officials of the Nationals rather doubt this. Too bad, because Bob is an earnest player, a hustler and a regular boy, too! But there's no senti- ment in base ball. All's not good that glitters. Some of the 38 players now on the Nationals’ reserve list evidently are slated for transfer to other clubs before the 1929 training season starts. Enough is known of the capabilitles of some of them to leave no doubt as to their un- fitness for major league consideration. But more of this later. There ought to be something definite emerging from the Harris transfer rumor mill soon. Too much talk out this way to make the matter wholly idle gossip. The last week of the sea- son may reveal the story. INDIANAPOLIS ALMOST CERTAIN OF A. A.

The | White Sox could do nothing with the | southpaw slants of Heimach, but quick- Iy pounced upon Myles Thomas after the St Paul southpaw had given way to a pinch batsman in the eighth. | Pipgras limited the damage to one run The Sox gave Johnson warning of what was to happen by belting him | solidly in the second and the third in- | nings, though not hard enough to af- fect the run column. Al Thomas never was in any real danger after he obtained a four-run lead, although a pass and two hits gave the Yankees two runs in | the sixth. | The Yankee cripples, Ruth and Laz- zeri, were in action once more, and | both remained in the game until the | end.

ETROIT, September 22.—The pennant road became even more difficult for the tiring forces of Cornelius McGilli- cuddy here today when the Tigers shaded the old man’s Athletics by 5 to 4 in the final game betwec the two teams this_season. The vic- tory not only gave Detroft two out of three from the contenders, but pre- vented the Macks from gaining on the Yankees, who held their lead of two games, even though defeated by ihe White Sox in Chicago, 5 to 2. The Tigers routed Rube Walberg 1 the very first inning. with a four-ru sault, and although they were able do little against George Earnshaw through the Test of the game, the Ath- letics never managed to catch up. Detroit scored one run off Earnshaw as a result of Cochrane's error in the sixth, and this proved to be the ulti mate margin by which the game wa: decided. Victor Sorrell held the Macks hitless until the fifth, when they began nib- bling at him one run at a time. The the bases were filled with only one out on passes to Cochran and Miller and a single by Foxx. Owen Carroll then was called to the box and he limited the Athletic profit from this promising situation to one run, scored on Hauser's sacrifice fly to Rice. In the course of the game Connie lifted Hale, returned Foxx to third ks and sent Hauser in at first. Hale's fielding had been indifferent. Before the game Ty Cobb drew the applause of the multitude by practicing in right field. The 10,000 home fans gave the retiring warrior an ovation as he made his last appearance in uni- form in the city which claimed 22 of the 24 seasons of his base ball career. Ty ended up by not entering the game, although there were spots, it seemed, where he was the logical pinch bais- man. He failed to take part in any of The crowd was about equally divided the Yankee defeat uproariously. WASTE CHANCE crisis was reached in the eighth when | in its allegiance and greeted news of | ST LOUIS IS HALTED BY YOUNG HUBBELL Welsh and Reese Batting Stars in Crucial Tilt Witnessed by 40,000. By th Associated Press OLO GROUNDS, NEW YORK, September -For_the second time in three days. Young Loch- invar, in_the pitching person of gangling Karl Hubbell, stepped in |to save fhe pennant chances of the New York Giants today and make the National League pennant race tighter than the proverbial bass drum. While 40,000 fans roared their ac- claim, Hubbell, lean Oklahoma youth, who came to the Giants only a few weeks ago from the Texas League, | throttled the league-leading St. Louis | Cardinals in the midst of a fiercely | fough battle this afternoon and beat 'them for the sccond straight time to the tune of 8 to 5. It was the third game of this spec- tacular series, the second straight vic- tory for Hubbell and the Giants and reduced the lead of the Cardinals w0 a single game. Triumph today for St. Louis would | have extended 'its margin to three games and just about have settled the pennant race. As it stands tonight, however, each club having eight games to play, it is a wide-open battle, the outcome of which may not be decided until the Cardinals and Ciants meet again in the final game oi season here a week from tomorroww. Taylor Douthit the Goat. If Hubbell was the hero of this hectic fray the goat was Taylor Douthit, speedy outfielder of the Cardinals, who let in the winning run in the seventh inning when he allowed Freddy Lind- strom’s single to escape him in center. Douthit, coming in too fast, m | ball, not only permitt who had singled, to from fisst with the winning tally, but also let- ting Lindstrom scamper across the | piate.
