BY JOHN B. KELLER. OOD pitching has done much to put the Wash- ington ball club at the top of the American League, but a great factor in its splendid progress thus far is Roy Spencer, its No. 1 receiver. This catcher, who sold himself to the Nationals just before the start of the 1829 campaign for $15,000, for two seasons was noth- ing more than a catcher, although a high-class one at that. Now he bobs up as a big cog in the offensive machine to do more than any other National in the business of producing runs. In the five games to date Spencer has been tne greatest help in attack in addition to performing brilliantly on the recelving end of the battery. The Na. tionals have tallled 25 times, and Spen- cer has driven across 8 runs besides scoring 5 himse. When a player fig- ures in the making of 13 of 25 runs, he's a remarkable part of his club’s offensive. Last season Spencer hit for an aver- age of only .255. To date in the current campaign he has hit for 444. In 18 times at bat he has clouted safely 8 times. One of his hits was a double and another a triple. He has missed hit- ting in only one game, but most of the other batters failed to solve Lefty Grove that day. He drove home three runs in the second game of the series with the Ath- letics and one in the game. In the opener of the series with the Red Sox yesterday, while the Nationals were winning, 8 to 0, Spencer drove home four runs. He tripled to send two over Done Up Brown BOSTON.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. F major league pitchers ean continue their performances of the season’s first few games, some of the strike-out rec- ords may be in serious danger. Whether it is the changed ball or a mere epidemic of poor batting eyes, fanning this year seems to occur more often than in previous seasons, when slugging was the rage. Seven hurlers in the two major leagues struck out five or more rivals in yesterday’s eight games and in many cases that was not enough to win or even keep the pitcher on the mound for nine innings. Big Fred Fitzsimmons of the New York Giants led the way, fanning seven of the Boston Braves as his team won 9 to 2. Fitz limited the Braves to six hits in giving them their first defeat of the season while the Giants got 14 blows to go into a three- way tie for the league lead. In a long, drawn out game which saw the Chicago White Sox whip the St. Louis Browns 12 to 6, 14 men struck out. Sam Gray, one of four St. Louis pitchers, and charged with the loss, and Garland Braxton of Chicago, each whiffed five. With a near record crowd of 80,000 looking on Rube Walberg of Philadelphia bested Charley Ruffing of the New York Yankees, 3 to 2, in ¢ pitching and fanning duel. Walbe! struck out six and allowed the san: number of hits. Ruffing fanned fix while giving seven hits, First Defeat for Cards.

The best balts for these fish are bloodworms, cut spot, shrimp, peeler and soft crabs. FTER a careful investigation cover- ing years, to select the most suitable location for the establishment of the proposed blological laboratory for the study and investigation of marine prod- ucts of Chesapeake Bay, the Conserva- tion Commissioner of Maryland has re- ported to Gov. Ritchie that Solomons Island offered the best site, and the Governor has approved his selection. State Senator Joseph C.

All kinds of fish have been. taken from the bay, and now comes the re- port that since January 1 numbers of | cod have been caught as far north as York River. This is not the first time these fish have been taken from the bay, but it is very unusual to find them in such large numbers, and particu- larly as far up as the York River. The cod is a native of New England waters and is chiefly found along the coast, where it 1s a most important fishery.
