BY JOIN B. KELLER. HEN the Nationals came up from the South in April 'twas said he was through as a regular. He was too far along in years to have much base ball left in him, his under- .pinning was about gone, and the club had a youngster who looked pretty good for his job, anyway. Yet he's had a regular berth with the Nationals since the first week of the season, is going strong on his props, and he's banging the ball at a .365 clip, by far the best batting being done by any of Manager Walter Johnson's charges. Who may this be? Why, Sam Rice, the old warhorse of the ‘Washington club, a player longer in its service than any other now on its active list. For an athlete in his thirty-eighth year—Sam was 37 years old last February 20—he's playing a great game, defensively and offensively—a much better game than many a ball player his junior by more than a few years is able to play. And, what's more, Rice shows no sign of being ready to get out of the pastiming in the near future. Same is the Tennyson brook of the present-day crop of outfielders.

He has had 156 legal times at bat for 57 hits, more than any other National has made. That means an average of .365. Great hitting in any league! Sam hasn’'t been making long hits—his rec- ord to date shows but six doubles and | three triples—but he's been stinging | the ball often enough. During the season Rice has waited upon the pitchers of the opposition for an even dozen bases on balls, made four sacrifices, swiped two bases and | been pinked once by a pitched ball.

Playing here on May 26, Rice was stopped cold by Quinn, the only pitcher who has struck him out this year, and Ed Rommel. But he started another steak the next day, and it was run to eight games yester- day, when he got three safeties off Rip Collins and Jack Ogden of the Browns.

Thereafter, though, the local product got away with his game nicely until the ninth, when the Browns nicked him for a pass and two safeties that meant two tallies.

HE long, long trail ended for the Athletics and the Giants yesterday when the Tigers and the Cubs spent their respective afterncons in getting a bit of revenge for recent indignities, but no great cheer was heard to go up from the camps of the Browns and the Yankees at the general state of affairs in the American League. The New York entry gained one full game on the fying Mackmen as a re- Browns held their ground, but neither recelved any guarantee that Prof. Connie Mack would not go forward again at an early date. The Athletics were due to lose a game sometime, and it had to be the Veteran John Picus Quinn who succumbed to Detroit bats. After the dean of all the pitchers retired from the field of action, Mr. Mack tried the daring experiment of ‘exposing Oswald Orwoll to enemy fire, with the result that the Tigers accompaniment of home runs by Heil- mann and Shea and fine pitching by Victor Sorrell, The Detroiter never- theless failed to last out the game, and Stoner finished. With Bambino Ruth still on the shelf, the Yankees were not so ferocious on the offensive as they have been known to be, but they had enough to squeeze out the decision over Red Faber and the White Sox by 4 to 2. Red falled to reach the heights he sometimes achieves against the Hugmen, and Henry Johnson was some better than he has been on certain occasions this year. The Yankees now have seen four successive starting pitchers finish their games. Some more work of this order would be more welcome to Huggins than another batting splurge—which is cer- tain to develop sooner or later, anyhow, after the Yanks make restitution to the law of averages for the gait they main- tained for two solid years without a slump.

The Giants retained the fourth rung of the ladder as the Pirates again got even with the Phillies, this time by 9 to 5. The Cub home runs were delivered as follows: Wilson, 2; Grim, Grace, Hornsby, 1 apiece. Rousch and Terry hit for the circuit for New York. Art Nehf started, but had to have the help of Charlie Root at the end. Freddie Fitzsimmons was pounded from the box by the Bruins. The Cardinals got only an even break against the Robins, winning the first game by 3 to 1 and permitting Brooklyn to take the second by 11 to 8. The Cards remained comfortably in first place, but both the Pivates and the Cubs gained a bit. St. Louis won the first game in the seventh when Jim Bottomley’s homer with Douthit on base sent Watson Clark to defeat and credited a victory to Jess Haines.
