BY JOHN B. KELLER. “ HESE Indians now the guests of the Nationals are famed for their prowess at bat, but the Nationals themselves have not been at all backward re- cently in slapping the base ball. For a club that in pre-season cal- culations was figured weak at hit- ting, the Washington club has done right well offensively. Dur- ing the past four days, while en- gaging the White Sox, the Nation- | als were especially powerful in at- tack and only poor fielding in one of the quartet of games kept them from a sweep of the series. All they did against Chicago pitching was hit for a cool .350. That’s great batting in big time. | In all, 17 members of the Washington | club participated i the White Sox series | and 11 drove the ball to safety. Of the | half dozen who failed to hit, four are pitchers, one a catcher and one an out- | flelder who took part in only one of the | games, and in it stepped to the plate but | twice. | Sam Rice, carrying on his successive- | game hitting streak, did remarkable bat- | ting in the four-game set. He collected | nine hits of assorted dimensions for an | average of .563. Goose Goslin, who had | been in a slump before the Bush band arrived in Washington, ran second to| Rice in number of hits and average. The Goose slammed eight safeties for a | Tating of .533. Muddy Ruel finished third with an average of .500, but Muddy was in only | one game, so Ossie Bluege, Joe Cronin | and Sam’ West really should be con- | sidered above him. Each was in every me of the series. Bluege got seven hits | for 467, Cronin six for 400 and West | six for .353. These batters actually batted. A pitcher and a catcher broke into the first 10 of those socking in the series. Lloyd Brown got a hit in the game he pitched to get an average of .333, and in his two games Roy Spencer made two hits for an average of .286. Joe Judge batted between Brown and Spencer with five safeties for .294, and Buddy Myer, in three games, only batted at 250 with three hits before an illness that had developed before the series started forced him from action. Eleventh in the list of hitters is Jack Hayes. He took Myer's place at second | yesterday and smote one safety for a mark of In the series the Nationals in 143 times at bat made 50 hits for "3 bases. A fine record for a club not ra*~1 power- | ful offensively, OTH Myer and who were | missing from “‘Washington bench yesterday, were expected to be in uniform again this afternoon as the leflel with the Indians started. Myer, who been suffering with a severe cold for a week, on Sunday com- plained of eye trouble, which later was attributed to a sinus affection resulting from the cold. Buddy was given im- mediate treatment by a physician, though, and this morning was feeling much better. Spencer, badly bruised when Reynolds slid info the plate and | knoc ed him down in the game Sunday, | not so seriously hurt as at first mmht So far as Roy is concerned the bruise is painful enough, but he is of the !.y?e who will not be kept out of the | game long if he has a chance to crash the line-up. OE ENGEL, who scouts for the Na- tionals when he is not presidenting for the Lookouts, has been looking over material for the Johnson band the past few days and is to come to Wash- ington the latter part of the week to Teport any progress made in the hunt for new players. No hint has come from the president-scout as to what he may have picked up. ‘While waiting for Engel to make his report, President Clark Griffith has been scanning the box scores of the minor clubs with which he has farmed somec of his hopefuls. Particularly pleasing to Qriffith are the performances of ‘Gordon Phelps, bouncing Bowie boy op- tioned to the Hagerstown club of the Blue Ridge League. In three games Phelps went to bat 14 times and socked nine safeties, several home runs. Phelps is hitting so well the Hagerstown man- agement is using him as an outfielder instead of putting him behind the bat, his usual place. OB BURKE “up and did things” yesterday, so the Nationals still are but half a game behind the league- leading woild champion Athletics. After a floppy first inning, in which the White Sox with a fluky single and an equally fluky double, a wild pitch and a lurid heave by Cronin got two runs, the young left-hander, starting | a game for the second time this sea.| son, settled. All the White Sox gol thereafter consisted of two doubles and | a single spread over the three innings following the first and two passes, one in the fifth inning and one in the ninth. After that floppy first round Burke was & chunk of ice on the pitching hill, Having spctted the Chisox a brace of tallies, the Nationals went on to win by the comfortable score of 13 to 2. Three pitchers were punished by the home side, in all 15 hits being gathered. Al ‘Thomas started for the White Sox, but he had a kink in his pitching arm and after yielding a hit and a pass, with a two-strikes-and-one-ball count against Judge, gave way to the left-handed Bob Weiland. Bcb checked the Nationals the remainder of the first inning, but was nicked for a single in the second after he had issued two passes and his teammates had kicked in with two errors. Three runs resulted and before ‘Ted Blankenship could quell the Na- tionals a double by Cronin and a kick of the hit by Moore in left netted two more markers, With four hits and a pass the Na- tionals got four runs off Blankenship in the fifth. Doubles by Goslin and Bluege were good for a score in the sixth, and in the seventh three singles and a double, all hit after two were out, meant, three tallies. Just one of those games. ICE waited until his last batting turn to get a hit and extend his string of successive games with safeties to 23. He rifled the ball past Cissell to right field for a long single.

Crowds flocked to the Colosseum to watch him exhibit his skill and strength, for his long- distance hitting records included knocking a ball across the Rhine, and, 'tis said, he would have slammed one into the very mouth of Mount Vesuvius if the volcano itself had not int-erupted.

INTENTIONTO BUNT= WALK IN TWO oR THREE STEPS AND BE IN ol /r«, e Like the first baseman, he should be a good judge of high, twisting fly balls. He should be able to go back into the field behind him for many high, fair and four fly balls. There are many which are not with- in the reach of the left fielder and whicn 1t is out of the question for the snortstop to get. There should be a close under- standing between the catcher and third baseman, as there are many plays in which both are involved. Always be in position to receive a snap throw from the catcher to catch a baserunner napping. In throwing to first or second | base, never lob the ball, but put | something “on” your throw. Most bad throws are caused by “holding | back” with the ball. | (Bave this Big League Base Ball | Series.

In a big series, held during the Ides of March between Caesar’s team and the Senators, Cleopatra, the star twirler, who had been ob- tained in a big deal with the Egypt- ian League, was mowing the Caesar- ians down with monotonous regular- ity. Cleo had more speed than con- trol, to be sure, but_ sometimes it seemed that all she had to do to strike out an opponent was to bat her eyes at him and he would drop his bat and go reeling back to the dugout. After his third strikeout, Julius Caesar Ruth was roundly razzed by Cleopatra, at which the fans started yelling, “Sieze her! Seize her!” Thinking they were cheering for him, the Home Run Emperor took heart, and the mnext time up at bat resolved to make good. “I'll knock the next one for a row of catacombs, or die,” he con- fided in Brutus, who was to follow him at bat. “Then die!” shouted Brutus, who really wanted the Sen- ators to win, and picked up his bat, saying, “Beware the Ides of March!” “But this isn't March, you sap!” yelled Caesar. “I just changed the calendar this morning. It's Hallow- een!” At which he proceeded to establish the custom of soaking the old apple and broke up the ball game. AB. R. H.PO. A.

Chief Foes TAKE 6 OF 8 FROM * PIRATES AND CUBS McGrawmen Now Have a Firm Grip on Lead—Pipgras Hurls 3-Hit Game. BY HERDERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. THE New York Giants have tangled must go to John McGraw's fence-bust- ers, beyond dispute. On the crest of a terrific hitting streak, the Giants rode roughshod over both the Pirates and the Cubs, taking three games out of four from each of the two formidable Western clu». The net result was to give the Gianis a firm grasp on the league leadership. During their last eight games with the Pirates and Cubs as opponents Mc~ Graw's sluggers have pounded out 131 hits, including an even dozen home runs, and scored 78 runs. ‘The average per game was 925 runs and 1514 hits, It rémained for the final game of the series with the Cubs to provide most of the fireworks. The Giants won, 14 to 12, Nine home runs were hit, three by the Giants and six by the Cubs. | This came within one of the record for two teams, set by the Cardinals and Phillies in 1923, and the Cubs’ total also lacked but one of the best major league marks for one team. The Cubs equaled the record made by Pittsburgh in 1894, when they pounded out four homers in the seventh inning. Beating Brcoklyn, 6 to 2, Pittsburgh not only broke a four-game losing streak but created a triple tie for third place with the Robins and_Cineinnati Reds as their companions. Ervin Brame gave up only six hits, while the Pirates col- lected 11 off Dudley and Morrison. The Reds nosed out Philadelphia, 7 to 6, for their ninth victory in their last 12 games. The Phils tied the score in the eighth on Klein’s double and Whitney’s single, but the Reds came back in their half of the same frame to score the winning run on Sukeforth's triple and Allen’s sacrifice fly. George Pipgras turned in the best pitching performance in the American League, when he allowed the Tigers only three hits and hurled the Yankees to a 7-0 win. Lou Gehrig hit his sixth homer of the year in the sixth. The \'icwry boosted the Yanks into fourth place. The Boston Red Sox’s five-game win- nin streak was halted by St. Louis, 3 to Lisbenbee gave the Browns only four hits in the first nine {innings, but was reached for a single, dnums and a sacrifice fly in the tenth. ‘The Athletics maintained a half-game lead over Washington for flrst place by | trouncing Cleveland, 13 to 7. e Mack- | men knocked Clint Brown out of the box in the second inning with a five-run attack, and kept up the charge against three other Indian pitchers.
