SPURTS. - Goslin’s Batting Slump Handicaps Griffs : Giants Having Trouble Getting Starte HITS FORBUT 22 THUS FAR N WEST Goose Had Driven in Only} Nine Runs in 19 Games Played to Date. BY JOHN B. KELLER. 8T. LOUIS, May 13—As Goose Gos- lin goes, so goes the Washington club. For several seasons ‘Goose has been the punch of the Nationals in attack and he still is the punch. He is the THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €., MONDAY, FAIR JEFFERSON JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES SCORE ON TRACK only real slugging type of batter the club possesses and when he falls into | 2 hitting slump the club’s offensive ! is greatly weakened. That the Na- tionals still are floundering about in 1 second division is in no small measure due to Goslin's sluggish bat- | ting start this Spring. This must not be construed as a| slam at the Gocse. No one is more | worried by his failure to swing into | a .vtron¥ hitting stride than he. He is | trying in every way he knows and is | told, to improve in his stick work. But | he has been unable to make the most | of the clubbing power that last year | won him the batting laurels of the | American League. i To date the Goose can show a hit- | ting average of but .325 for 19 games. | ‘That would be a fine average for many batters, but it is not for Goslin, and to make it worse he has slumped greatly | since the Nationals came into the West. | In the three serles his club has played | in this sector thus far the Goose batted | At only a .222 clip. That is no help | at_all to the Washington outfit. Indicative of how small a factor he been in the Nationals' offensive is the total of runs he has driven over the plate in the 19 games. His batting has been responsible for the scoring of only nine runs. That is a ridiculously smail total for a player who season after sea- son has been the leader of his club in this matter of driving runs across. All told in the 19 engagements the Goose has been at bat 77 times and made 25 hits for 42 bases. Three of the | blows were doubles, one was good for three bases and four were homers. He has made but one sacrifice hit. Goslin has walked to first base seven times and struck out four times. He has dented the counting block 13 times. No bril- liant record in this. Goslin’s slump in the West has hurt the club a great deal, for he has come up frequently with chances to advance runners or bring in mates from third base and failed repeatedly. In the nine tilts in this sector to date the Goose in 36 times at bat made only eight hits for 15 bases. He got a double and a homer in Cleveland, & homer in Detroit He made but three hits off the Tribes’ hurlers, but two off the Tiger pitchers and just three off of ihe White Sox slabmen. He has made one sacrifice, | driven in four runs, walked four times and struck out twice in this sector. And five of the eight one-run defeats the Nationals have suffered this season have come their way in the West. To date 662-3 per cent of Washington's losses have been by a single tally. Per- haps when Goslin finally swings into his true batting stride these one-run defeats will be few and far between. l TOO FEW HITS P Sedvaadoand Total CHICAGO. Postil, ef.

FREELAND TO REST UNTIL BELMONT STAKES BALTIMORE, May 13 (#).—Dr. Freeland, winner of the $50,000 Preakness, will not start in the Kentucky Derby. The winner of the Maryland clessic performed so ad- mirably in that event that his trainer, Thomas J. Healey, will give him a rest. Dr. Freeland will be held until the Belmont stakes, to be run at Belmont Park later this Spring. If the colt behaves well in that event, he will be shipped to Chicago to be entered in the $60,000 race, known as the classic. Among those 3-year-olds to be shipped to Louisville for the Blue Grass event will be Minotaur, which finished second in the Preakness; Essare, the Nut, Earle Sande’s Hermitage and Folking, all but Minotaur finishing out of the money in the Maryland classic.
