When Buddy yelped after being called out in the fifth inning of the final fray with the Browns the um})s promptly banished the protesting player, and it is thought the c suspension. sacker will draw a three-day ub’s regular second- If Myer is held out, Charley Gooch will be assigned to the third- base post, with Jack Hayes, lately regular guardian of the far corner, being shifted to his old position at the keystone sack. This might weaken the Washington though a fair infielder, However, Manager Walter John- #son had contemplated withdraw- ing Hayes in the event the Na- tionals fell into another losing streak and trying Gooch at third base, so it may be that a suspen- sion for Myer would only hasten the fulfillment of a plan already formulated. Johnson had not planned to with- draw Hayes because of any weakness yevealed by the player. Rather, Walter is eager to_discover the capabilities of Gooch at third base. Charley has not had much opportunity to display what worth he may possess this season while Johnson fully realizes just how valuable @ player to the club is Hayes. Should Gooch be assigried to the third station he probably would stick there for two weeks or more, even though Myer might be back at his job at second base. Johnson intends to give Charley a thorough trial under fire, for the young draftee, heretofore held little more than likely trading material, may possibly be worth holding for a autility role next year.

Campbell said after yesterday’s game he would immediately wire to American League headquarters here a report of the incident, but any suspen- slon, of course, would not occur until President Barnard had revived the matter. Thus far this season not a National has drawn a suspension for unbeco conduct on the ball fleld, although sev- eral at different times have been ban- ished for arguments with the game offi- clals. The league, it seems, is mot dealing very harshly with insubordi* . this year, but it is apt to bear dow. ai any time, and Myer may be unfo; te enough to feel its heavy hand. After extending a winning streak to five games, their longest of the season, mainly at the expense of the Browns, the Nationals yesterday had nothing to show in a pitching way and took a 14- to-2 beating from Dan Howley’s outfit. They already had copped the series though and left St. Louis last night with three of the four tilts with the Mound City club tucked away. In the final with the Browns the Na- tions whacked the venerable Jack Ogden freely, getting 11 safeties, but the Browns whacked the Nationals® hurlers more freely, collecting a score of safeties off Irving Hadley, Lloyd Brown and Don Savidge. The only member of the St. Louis line-up who failed to sock a safety was the usually hard-hitting Heinie Manush. Griffs First to Score. ‘The Nationals staked themselves to a taily in the first inning with a triple by Judge and a single by Goslin, but the Browns proceeded to salt the game in the second inning when they amassed five runs. Then Hadley, who had man- aged to get away with the first inning in which he walked the first two batters to face him, had nothing with which to baffle the foe. A double, two singles, a walk and an- other single were yielded by him in the order mentioned and when he turned the game over. to Brown the home side had three runs across, two runners on and none out. Brown did not seem to know what to do after picking up a bunt from Mec- Gowan, the first batter who faced him, 5o the tap went for a base-filling single. A double play in which a runner was nipped at the plate fcllowed, but a gng that ensued chased over two ore . Brown pitched four more rounds and in each the Browns scored. They gathered eight runs in these frames with 11 hits and two passes.

All this, how- ever, netted the Howleymen but one run. After the first inning the Na- tions saw the plate again only in the fourth. Then successive two-baggers by Judge and Rice after two were gone netted a tally. O'Rourke and Ogden liked the Wash- ington brand of pitching immensely. Blackie went up five times for as many hits, including a double and a triple, 73 | while Jack walked the first time up, then socked a double and three singles for a perfect d: Judge tried hard to get a perfect bat- ting record for the day. After getting a triple, single and double in order % with his first three batting efforts he backed McGowan against the right fleld stand wall for a catch of a hard drive in the sixth frame. Then Joe turned the first-basing job over to Harley Boss. Both Hayes, who was on first base, and Altrock, coaching at that station, forgot there was only one out in the sixth when Judge hoisted to McGowan, s0 the Browns made a double play easi- ly. Hayes, off as Judge met the , was-well on the way to third base when McGowan made his catch, and Melilli's relay to Blue of the right fielder's heave retired the side. ' Myer was not the only one banished by Umpire Campbell during the action. In the fourth inning Jimmy Austin, coaching at first base, used some harsh language when he protested against a decision that retired Heine Manush, and Campbell hurried the veteran coach from the fleld so fast Jimmy left his cap in the coacher’s box.

Mr. Joseph Wheeler Sewell, who is a bit of a fiyer, to be sure, a base ball way, but who never has to be refueled during a game, has set an endurance record for base ball players which is second only to that of Everett Scott. Sewell in over 1000 consecutive has a good chance of going on for a couple more- seasons to break Scotty’s famous record of 1807. ‘When Everett passed the thousand- game mark he was given a gold medal by Secretary of the Navy Denby. that. Joey has played more consecu- tive games with one club than any other player, however, as all of his long service has been with Cleve- land, while Scotty divided his un- interrupted streak between Boston and New York: 832 with the Red Sox and 475 with the Yankees, The soft-spoken Alabama boy, who got his first chance with the Indians when Ray Chapman was killed by one of Carl May's underhand shoots in 1920, hasn't missed a game since near the end of 1922. It's too bad Mr. Sewell missed out on HOLDS THE MAJOR LEAGUE he passed up that one, too, for he played 154 games in 1921, While Joey hasn't been as effect- ive at the plate this year as usual (his nine-year average with Cleve- land is .323), he is still one of the most valuable members of the In- dian team, even though he is now playing at third after many years of service at shortstop.

HICAGO, August 14.—Fighting the most valiant battle of his fighting life, Charles A. Comis- key, the Old Roman of base ball, reaches his seventieth birthday tomorrow. Since almost the start of the base ball season the owner of the straggling ‘White Sox has been fighting an iliness which might have been fatal to any one without Comiskey’s stubbornness to live.

HE Athletics are skipping mer- rily along again as Kastern American League clubs prepare for the second series of their final Western invasion. Follow- ing Rube Walberg's brilliantly pitched effort against the Tigers on Monday, old John Picus Quinn turned in a neat game yesterday to shade Victor Sorrell by 4 to the Mackmen’s last ap- pearance of the season in Detroit. It now remains only for Mose Grove to turn in a good game, and he probably will get his chance at Cleveland today. Grove's next effort will mark his fifth attempt to wrest his eighteenth victory of the season from Old Man Percentage. He last won on July 25. The victory of the Athletics gave them 3 out of 4 in Detroit and en- abled them to stretch their lead to 1212 games, their greatest margin of the season. The Yankees were nosed out in Cleveland by 3 to 2. A’s Are Outbatted. Quinn gave the Tigers eight hits, two more than the Macks exacted from Sorrell, but the game was not nearly 80 close as the score sounded. Cronin’s fumble gave the home team & Tun in the first, and Marty McManus hit over the fence for one more in the ninth after the day had been lost.

Wilcy Moore than rushed to the res- cue, not of the Yankees, but of the Indians. Hodapp greeted him with a triple, which drove in the two runs need to win. ‘Wes Ferrell pitched his usual strong game against the Yankees. He was in trouble only in the third, when the Hugmen rapped him for their two runs. The defeat marked the third reverse for the champions in four games at Cleveland and ran the Indians’ string over the Hugmen for the season to 12 out of 17. The Red Sox escaped from Chicago in the getaway game at St. Cubs Defeat Braves. With half of the National League clubs idle because of the advancement of games in the schedule at Brooklyn and Philadelphia, the Bruins nosed out of the series at Boston and increased the Chicago lead to 82 games.

Kelly, had reached the final. ‘The tournament was plenty hot when it narrowed down to Frank J. Kelly vs. M. G. Major and Francis Kelly vs. C. P. Warner in the semi-finals.
