BY JOHN B. KELLER. opened here this afternoo: N kees, the Nationals hope ::Pe zelf’rlng their brief stand against the West at home. In EW YORK, August 6.—On their 20-game jaunt, that was to be n with a double-header with the to be more successful than they the 13-game stand in Griffith Stadium that ended yesterday ‘Walter Johnson'’s charges won but five games. On their own lot their show- ing against the Western clubs was much poorer than their record for either of the iwo invasions of the West this season. T their three-games-to-one victory over the Browns last weel?gl:efgaticnals‘ record at home would have been especially weak. They took but the entire set of three games played with the White Sox, dropped g?ethree gamges to the Indians and bagged but one of three games in which the Tigers were encountered. Failure to support good pitching with scund hitting hurt the Na- tionals during the flrstApar& of their recent stand against the West: Then conditions were re- versed. In the Tigers' series thg pitchers failed in two games. B\‘h in their final effort the Nationals came back to flash strength on the hill and at the plate and put over their biggest scoring spiurge f the year. cTwenti-onc hits, totaling 29 Tbases, were gleaned off Uhle, Billings, Prud- homme and the left-handed Yde, who toiled in the order mentioned. The first three of these hurlers issued six ‘passes, one of the Tiger catchers let a pitch _get by at a crucial moment, and the Tiger supporting cast kicked in with five errors. This helped the Na- tionals to close their home stay with a blazing 21-to-5 triumph. Brown Holds Tigers. Lloyd Brown upened fire for the home side. and though the southpaw looked anything but steady at the outset, he managed to go the route and grew bet- ter as the game progressed. They got to Brownie for 10 hits and 5 passes. Geh- ringer made three of the hits, all triples, and Fothergill two, both doubles. But the hits were spread over six innings. Al and only when they clustered blows were the Tigers able to count, for the pitcher's support was flawless. The Nationals used X the fray, Harley Boss taking Joe Judge's place at first base in the seventh in- ning, and each player crashed both the hit and run columns of the official score. Buddy Myer, though, was the big noise of the attack. the plate six times for singles, a sacrifice and ke | a perfect day. The homer was a drive to deepest h sixth inning, when there were two mates on the runway. Buddy crossed the plate four times, and was credited with driving seven runs over—a real day’s work. The Nationals tucked away the game with an eight-run second inning, in which Uhle was driven to cover and his successor, . Billings, roughly = treated. Oddly, the Scoring in the first two in- nings’ was_so_distributed that each player in the line-up at the time had dented the counting block. A Game Starts Briskly. The game started briskly, each side putting a run across in the first in- ning. In the Tigers’ half two were out when Gehringer slammed a triple against the scorcboard back of right center. Fothergill followed with a two- bagger to the wall of the open stand bordering left field to shove the tally over. More work was done by the Nationals to register their run. Judge drew a pass as a starter and raced to third when Same Rice, with the hit-and-run play on, rifled a one-baser over Uhle's head. Goslin’s best was & pop to Schuble, but Myer lofted to Johnson in deep left, and Judge got to the count- ing block after the catch. In their second batting turn the Na- tionals romped around the bases mer- rily and chalked up eight runs. All crossed after the second out was made. During the scoring orgy Uhle was /| a homer, three chased from the slab, and his successor, | = Billings, well punished. Uhle was wild, granting three walks and as many hits, while Phillips was charged with a passed ball, and the Tiger supporting cast made two errors. Billings was found for two hits and a walk before he could get the side out. This Settled It. One was out when Cronin tripled. Then Uhle walked Hayes and Brown, filling the cushions. Cronin tallied and Hayes went to third after Fothergill bagged Judge's hoist. Phillips let a pitch get ,by. So Hayes counted and Brown moved to the middle base. A pass to Sam Rice and singles by Goslin and Myer accounted for two more markers and Uhle's departure. West greeted Billings with a two- bagger, whacked down the right-field line, and the fifth and sixth tallies of the frame were hung up. Tate, up for the second time in the round, scored West with a single and took second when Harry Rice booted. After Cronin walked, Phillips tried to pick him off first_base. The throw was good, but Alextinder let the ball go through. So ‘Tate counted and Cronin checked in at second. ‘That was all for the time be- ing, as Hayes lofted to Fothergill The Tigers got to Brown in the third for a triple and two singles that got them a run. Gehringer opened the in- ning with his second three-bagger of the pastiming and scored after Goslin bagged Fothergill's fly. Alexander and ‘McMarus followed with singles, but the next two batters became easy outs. More Grift Scoring. The third also was another scoring round for the Nationals, Brown began the frame with a triple and romped home after Fothergill grasped Judge's|® Joft. Came singles by Sam Rice, Goslin and Myer and another run. Myer’s hit gained him the distinction of having knocked two pitchers from the slab, for after it Prudhomme replaced Billings. There was plate-denting by both sides in the fifth, but the Na out- dented the Tigers three to one. Fother- gill's double and Alexander's’ one-baser accounted for the Tiger tally. Goslin’s single, Myer’s stroll and singles ‘West and Tate in succession netted stole, scored 3 More scoring in the sixth by both clubs.

Rice crossed when Myer singled and Buddy swiped second. Schuble peg- ged out West and Alexander tried witha return throw to get Myer going into the far corner. Dale’s heave was a weird one and Myer continued home. Only 20 of the Nationals’ 23 actives are starting this tour with the club. Jones and Liska, pitchers, were left in ‘Washington—Jones to nurse a sore arm and Liska to have his tonsils removed. Bluege, the .veteran inflelder, also re- mained at home, that his trick knee may get special care. Jones is expected to join the club after it goes West. Following today’s double-header here the Nationals will entrain for Boston, where games with the Red Sox are scheduled for tomorrow and Friday. THE BIG PARADE DETROIT. AB. R. H. O. A E.

EW YORK, August 6.—Detrcit and the Yankees haven't got the necessary punch. St. Louis is bossed too much from the central office to be successful, Cubs Have a Silent Fan _Who Attends All Games CHICAGO, August 6 (#).—Chi- cago's most faithful—and most si- lent—base ball fan has been found. He is Dr. L. R. Wilson who has been “rooting” for the Cubs for 53 years, starting when A. G. Spald- ing was a star and the Chicago National League Club played on the lake front in 1876. Dr. Wilson was discovered by Bob Lewis, Cub traveling secretary, while the club was on its last Eastern trip. Lewis noticed him in the stands near the Cub bench at Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Brooklyn, and finally introduced himself and asked Wilson if he always followed the club. ‘Wilson replied he had followed the Cubs on every trip: for the last five years and had not missed a game. ;l}e]nu:; tlhgu base ball t‘e‘e‘(fi who m{e in le] ia now are ing on clover tops and making honey. The Athietics| | Big League Leaders are thought to have the American League pennant pretty well nailed down. It is interesting to note what pitchers the Athletics have socked hardest to get where they are. If the same pitchers are no better in August and September than they have been in the season to date, the Athletics will win handily. Of the Boston pitchers, Ruffing and Russell each have lost four games to the Athletics and Gaston has lost three. Of course Ruffing's defeats are not so seriously considered because he has been spllling defeat recklessly here and there all season. Yanks Not So Easy. ‘When the page is turned to New York it will be found that no Yank pitcher has loit more than two games to the Athletics and only two have done that. They are Johnson and Pennock. But they are enough. Only two New Yqrk pitchers have won two games from the Mackmen. They are Pipgras and Hoyt and they are not enough. On the Washington team, Hadley has lost four to the Athletics and Braxton three. Marberry and Brown have lost two each. The Senators have been heavily flogged by the Athletics this year. Out in Cleveland, Miljus has lost three games to the leaders. Hudlin, Shaute and Zinn have lost two each. That doesn’t say much for the Cleve- land pitchers. However, young Ferrell, the Cleveland recruit, won three games from the Athletics. Excepting Red Faber of the White Sox, he is the only pitcher who has done that little Carroll of Detroit has lost four to Philadelphia. He is not meeting ex- pectations. He should have been one of the good pitchers of base ball by this time, if he has as much in him as he seemed to have when he pitched for Holy Cross, but he never has lived up to his college reputation. One of these days the big league will learn that a college reputation isn't worth the %ow- der to blow it up. To win in college is one thing, but to know how to play professional base ball is something else. Uhle Shy Endurance. Uhle and Sorrell of Detroit each have lost two in Philadelphia. Uhle hasn't been so good since the warm weather came on. ‘Too much bulk and too lit- tle_endurance. ‘Three pitchers of the Chicago club have lost two each to the Athletics. They are Lyons, Adkins and McKain. It's a shame about the Lyons boy. He should have been a pitcher for a cham- pionship team three years ago, but he seems to be one of those fated to throw away some of the best pitching in the United States on a team that tries, an nmme-. and hopes, but doesn't get any- where.

NEIL, Associated Press Sports Writer. F the Philadelphia Athletics don't crack pretty soon or the Chicago Cubs quit winning all those ball games, they'll be able to stage the world series late this month and finish out the league schedule whenever they get around to it. American League fans are getting used to seeing one club pounce on thc pennant late in August and leave thc rest of the circuit struggling along in a second division, anywhere from a dozen to 20 games behind. The Yan- kees made a practice of it for a couple of seasons, and now the Athletics have their rivals rubber-legged from trying o catch up. Cubs Rush Ahead. It has remained for the Cubs, now- ever, to turn the customary knock- down, drag-out struggle for the Na- tional League flag into a meek proccs- sion that consists of one leader and seven tailenders. ‘The Cardinals, Giants and the Pirates, always there or | thereabouts for the past few years, | ° look just like the rest of the clubs this | season. ‘Today the Cubs have a margin of 712 games over the second-place Pirates, and if any further proof of champion- ship class was needed, the Cubs stormed up from behind yesterday to taks a Cardinals Lopes| FOXX LOSES 9 POINTS; TO MINORS ON OPTIONS lerdsy under the Jimmy Foxx e clubs. Blankenship, " récently ding-dong_decision from the stubborn Brooklyn Dodgers, 9 to 8, in 16 innings. The victory was the twentieth for the Cubs in their last 22 games. ‘The youthful Mel Ott blasted Pitts- burgh's hopes of winning from the Giants through a spectacular rally in the ninth inning. Six runs behind, the Pirates clubbed in five, drove Carl Mays from the mound, and seemingly were on the high to victory when Ott road A picked up Bartell's fifth hit and threw out Clarke at the plate for the final out. O'Farrell and Terry hit homers. A’s Hold Their Own. ‘The Athletics failed to add to their 1115 game lead over the Yankees in the American League, but they lost no ground either in splitting two games with the St. Louis Browns while New York was idle. The Browns treated Rube Walberg roughly in the first ses- sion, winning 6 to 4. ~Kress helped the St. Louis cause with a homer with one on. ‘The second game went 12 innings, and Lefty Grove and George Earnshaw, an impo: ped tie the score in the ni . Al Simmons hit his twenty- fourth of the season in the first. Boley scored the winning run in the twelftn on_Bishop’s single. ‘The Washington Senators staged some sort of a celebration in the only other game in the American League, over- whelming Detroit, 21 to 5. Four Tiger pitchers allowed 21 hits. Percy Jones, wealthiest hurler in the majors, tossed his first game in a month for the Boston Braves and shut out St. Louis, 5 to 0, with three scattered hits. The Cincinnati Reds dropped the last game of the series to Philadelphia, 7 to 6, when a four-run rally fell one marker h of tying the score in the ninth.

The score 46 to 27 against him when Henry' got himself organized. Then he pitched horseshoes in the most approved man- ner and won, 50 to 48. The match was started on Saturday and halted when rain fell, with Brandon many points be- hind. It was resumed at 7 o'clock Mon- day morning. The battle started the day for Bran- don and ended onc for Henry, who is a night toller. A double ringer in the last inning clinched the victory. “Henry will be heard from later on in this tournament,” writes Chairman Brandon, “if he doesn’t run into bad form and lose out in the Falls Church preliminary. He can really pitch horse- shoes and he's breaking out with com- petitive spirit.” Falls Church has been severely bitten | by the horseshoe-flinging bug.
