As Macks, but Special Dispatch to The Star. HILADELPHJA, April 25—It's not how many hits you get that | tells in base ball. It's the length of the hits.and the time they are made. ‘This was demon- strated to the satisfaction of some 8,000 fans yesterday in Greater Shibe Park ! 9-to-4 licking by the Athletics. Johnson's charges got 11 hits, as did | the: Mackmen, but Washingten's safeties were good for 14 bases only, while the 1 the Athletics smote were good for 23 bases, A homer, 2 triples and 5 doubles rattled off the home club's bats. This slugging was done mainly while Fred Marberry and Lloyd Brown chucked ’em for the Nationals. Mar- berry looked a regular hurler the first three rounds, then went to pieces in the fourth, Brown came ob for twg innings and took a sound thumping, All the Philadelphia scoring was off this pair. Paul Hopkins yielded nothing more than one safety in the seventh and Bob Burke disposed of the Macks in_order in the eighth. The Nationals collected their safeties off George Earnshaw, who started poorly and was spotty through- out the fray. But once his club got ahead George always managed to show enough good stuff o keep the bad from hurting the Athletics’ cause. Despite his wildness, Earnshaw was not so easy for the Nationals at the gut- set of hostilities. They crowded the sacks before a man was retired in the initial ipning, but Myer was struck out by three pitches, Bluege hoisting a foul to Foxx and.Judge. forced out Goslin. Two good slams and a rather fuky hit, all made after two were out, meant two tallies off Earnshaw in the third, however, Goslin skidded the ball by Dykes and by cint of hard running | made the drive good for two bases. Myer smote & real two-bagger, sent the sphere against the stand back of left- center. Then Bluege pushed a lazy looper to left center, just too far out for Dykes and Bishop and too far in for s&..m. to reach. It was good for two bases apd tallied Myer with the second marker. . Marberry's lack of control and some solid Mack mauling put the home clud in front in the fourth frame. Fred walked Haas and Cochrane to begin the inning, then Simmons sogked a liner to ceriter. . Had he not misjudged the drive, West might have speared the ball, As it was, he came in and the sphere soared above him to the center field fence for a triple that enabled the Macks to deadlock the fray. 2 They lost little time in breaking the tie. A homer lifted into the uper left- fleld stand by Foxx did this trick. Brown, going to the slab for the Philadelphis bats right off the reel. After passing Bishop as a starter, the left-hander was reached for a double by Cochrane and a single by Simmons | and the Macks had two more markers. ‘The sixth was a “sandiot” inning’ for the - Nationals. Rice: overran an easy fly and barely escaped a beaning when the ball landed safely just back of him.

ANGIENT FEUD DUE FOR 1929 REVIVAL McGrawmen Now on Top in the National League, With Chicago Club Close Up. BY WILLIAM J. CHIPMAN, Associated Press Sports Writer, NOTHER duel between the Cubs and the Giants is in the mak- ing. Heroic shadows of the base ball past, like Chance and Matty, lines of 1920 on to combat like that which marked National Leag cham- plons from 1903 through 1913. That riod saw the rise and fall of the erless Leader, but the Little Napo- leon remained in the ht to witness the renewal of rivalry with Chicago. Snow-white John J, McGraw is st the top of the standing of the clubs, but the Brulns are not far behind and the champlon Cardinals threaten to make it a three-ring party. The Giants climbed to the toj cuting & smart about-face against the Phillies at the Polo Grounds yester- day as the Braves bogged down from their first week spurt and permitted the Robins to take a second decision in Flatbush by 5 to 3. The Cubs dnplog’nd along the Pittss burgh front. The powerful bat of Rogers Hornsby was spiked by- the spitter of Burleigh Grimes, and with- out its aid the Bruins lacked the power to win. The Pirates hammered Charley Root unfeelingly through the early rounds, and finally snatched the win. ning run from Berlyn Horne in the 13th to triumph by 5 to 4. Joseph V. MaCarthy led his team from under a four-run deficit in the third o even terms in the eighth, but | the march to vietory was just a stride too long. The defeat plunged the Cubs into a tie with the Cardinals for third place, but left both only half a game behind the Giants. Rain forced the Cards to postpone their home opening against the Cincinnati Reds yesterday. ‘The Yankees rocked the American League front with a blast which shat- tered Charlie Ruffing and the Red Sox by 9 to 8. 16 hits, of which Babe Ruth’s portion was just one single, and with such backing Walte Hoyt breezed to his sec- ond triumph. Although the Yankees did the heavier firing, the Athletics were just as effec- tive with their 11 shots at Fred Mar- berry and Liovd Brown, who succumbed with the Nationals at Shibe Park by 19 to 4 Actlvity In the Western half of the Barnard loop was confined to Detroit, where 30,000 fans at the home opening of the Tigers saw Harry Rice save the Bengals by a spectacular sliding catch in the ninth.
