HERE'S fight in the Na- tionals. Plenty of it. They proved it to the satisfaction » of some 20,000 in Griffith Stadium yesterday when they went into their final batting turn seemingly a beaten bunch only to rise in their might and give the haughty Yankees their first spanking of the season. The gallant rally against the Yanks, coming right on top of the brave and successful battle against odds in the last game of their series with the Athletics on Saturday, was more than enough to convince the base ball hosts that the Washington club doesn’t know the meaning of the word “quit.” Call it courage, gameness, fighting spirit, what vou will.

KEEFE, STAR PITCHER OF GIANTS IN ’85, DIES| Scored 19 Wins in Row for New them carry on to the finish of any argument, a quality that should stand them in gcod stead down the lcng ‘thampionship trail. Their confidence in themselves i creased by the well earned successive victories over the A's and the Yanks, the Nationals should be in splendid mood for the heavy campaigning mapped for them this week. They must drive through a trying schedule be- fore making their first thrust at the Western front next month, but they are well equipped for the drive. In fighting form as well as playing form, the Cronin crew should give a €ooc account of itself as it winds up the first round of its jousting with Eastern rivals. BETTER game to show that the Nationals may not be expected to admit defeat before the fighting is finished than yesterday's could not be played to order Twice beaten off and against a fresh and wily moundsman who had made them look foclish at bat for three innings, as they went into the ninth inning a run behind their prospect of Yictory was anything but bright. Many of the throng in the stands certainly felt that way. Hundreds had abandoned hope and departed before the home side went up for its final effcrt at bat. What a wind-up those hundreds missed. Early suppers served with 3.2 could have been no recompense. They missed seeing Cronin, the boy fleld boss, lash a single to center to give his club some hope of putting over one run at least to prolong the con- test. They missed seeing Manush, who had become all but a nervous wreck from watching his teammates’ futile efforts as he spent the afternoon on the bench nursing a sprained wrist, Btep out to take Harris’ place at bat. Manush, a clever bunter was picked to put down the sacrificial tap that Eilghz help greatly toward the tieing . Manush tried just that. Tried twice, but each time his bunt went foul. Two bad ones he let pass, then whipped at an inside pitch to send the ball scorch- ing down the first-base line. Gehrig, the Yankee initial sacker, made a half- hearted stab at the ball as it sped by to the right field corner to give Manush a triple that sent Cronin across with the deadlocking score. They missed seeing Cy Moore, the | old-timer, deliberately pass Kuhel and Bluege to fill the bases. Best to have a chance for a force play at the plate under the circumstances, the Yanks reasoned. And they missed seeing Sam Rice, the grand old man of base ball, sent up to bat for Sewell. A left-hand swinger was wanted to face the right-hand- pitching Moore, swing that way. The Yank infield closed in for the kill. Rice swiped at the first pitch to sail the ball over Moore’s head toward second. Lazzeri, Yank middle-sacker, . just managed to check its progress, so it was a hit for Sam and Manush was over with the big marker. ‘ The Yankees were beaten, 5 to 4. And after winning their first seven games of the season. ARL WHITEHILL did an excellent piece of work to score his second win of the season and go to the top of the Washington pitching staff. The southpaw yielded eight hits spread over seven innings, gave two walks, hit a batter and hurled seven strikeouts. He struck out Ruth twice, the second | time to end the fifth inning when the Yanks had runners on first and second’ bases. Earl struck out Gehrig once, but he also beaned this mighty batter once and the beaning led to a rally that put the Yanks in front for the second time the game . hThe {ict.‘ the little wildness Earl dis- played proved costly, for both the passed batters and the hit batter sccred. Ruth got a pass in the fourth frame and pulled up at third when Chapman | 12, singled. Then Lazzari banged a three- bsgggtr against the center field wall. In the sixth, after Gehrig was walked and both tallled when Dickey doubled. Off Vernon Gomez, tte Yanks' youth- ful southpaw star, the Naticnals col- Jected six of their nin2 safeties and one of their four passes. Gomez toiled but five frames. A blister inat developea on & finger of his pitching hand was an- nounced as the cause of his early retire- ment, but the four-hit rally that netted the Nationals three runs in the fifth probably had something to do with it Kuhel opened that round by beaung Hall out a bunt looped toward the second baseman. He moved up a notch as Bluege singled, but- Sewell's hoist was caught in short left and Whitehill took a third strike. Myer, though, tripled over the left fiielder’s head for two runs, and Schulte’s single put the Nationals shead for a time. Then the home side waited to beat Moore in the ninth. York Club—Coached Harvard, Princeton, Tufts. | By the Associated Press. AMBRIDGE, Mass, April 24— Those who followed big league base ball back in '85 were saddened | today by the death of an *“old timer"— | Timothy J. Keefe. | Keefe, who was star pitcher of the New York Glants in the days before many of today’s fans were born, died yesterday at his Cambridge home in his seventy-sixth year. He began hus base ball career in Cam- bridge, then played with teams at Lewiston, Clinton, New Berford, Utica, Albany and Troy. He and Mickey Welch were the mainstays of the Metropolitans of New York in 1884 when they won the American Associa- tion championship. In 1885 Keefe played with the Giants and shared with other twirlers a record | of 19 successive victories on the mound. Welch went to the Giants with his | teammate and the former now is be- Jieved the sole survivor of that famous | Giants team. Keefe and Welch played with Hank O'Day, Buck Ewing, Mike Slattery and Jim O'Rourke, base ball's great in the 80's. After his retirement from big league ball, Keefe coached base ball at Har- vard, Princeton and Tufts. LT A FORM ROOSEVELT LEAGUE.

ROOKLYN, N. Y, April 24 —After gaining & 7-to-0 lead in the first inning, Georgetown University's of- fense was checked by Clarence Dixon, St. John's ace pitcher, and his team went on to peck away at the Hoyas’ ad- | vantage and finally triumph, 8 to 7. It was the third and last game of a trip marking the opening of the Hoyas' base ball season and their third defeat. Ggorgetown blasted Bill Didie from the mound in the opening inning before an out was made. Rapp, Costello and Savarini walked, and O'Rourke cleaned the bases with & rousing triple. Visko- vitch then singled O'Rourke home. Carolan also singled, Carpenter walked and Hutchinson flied, Viskovitch scor- ing after the catch. Here Dixon went to to the job Hartagen came through with a one-{mse blow that cashed Carolan. Carpentef counted on a flelder’s choice, but Costello grounded out to retire the side. Thereafter Dixon allowed the Hoyas just three scattered hits and no runs. Bill Carpenter pitched fine ball for Georgetown until the closing mnin%a.

BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR., Assoclated Press Sports Writer. OMM " BRIDGES, slim right- hander of the Detroit Tigers, still is looking for his per- fect ball game. Last August, against Washing- ton, Tommy turned in the season’s greatest pitching feat, but failed by a hair to record a no-hit game. With two out in the ninth, Dave Harris, a pinch batsman, smacked a clean single. Yesterday Bridges came almost as close. For seven innings he retired the St. Lotis Browns without a blow, then Sam West found him for a single in the eighth, the only hit he gave. The feat was good enough for the Tigers to _win, 2 to 0, despite flashy pitching by George Blaeholder and Bump Hadley, who gave only three hits and no walks. With two out in the seventh, an error, Charley Gehringer's single and Gerald Walker's single brought in the only runs. Ted Lyons, Chicago White Sox vet- eran, did some snappy pitching in beat- ing Cleveland’s Indians, 4 to 1. Lvons allowed only two singles, crashed s home run with one aboard his first time up and added two more hits for a perfect day at bat. In contrast, the Boston Red Sox and Philadelphia Athletics pasted each other for a total of 23 blows as Boston came from behind to win, 7 to 5. Washington ended the New York Yankees' seven-game winning streak by slamming over two runs against Wilcy Moore in the ninth, largely through the pinch hitting feats of Heinie Manush and Sam Rice, and won, 5 to 4. ITTSBURGH'S bold Buccaneers dominated the National League scene by taking a double-header from the St. Louis Cardinals to tighten their hold on first place. Heinie Meine blanked the Cards with three hits in the opener while the Pirates drove Dazzy Vance to cover in one inning and won, 4 to 0. Five St. Louis errors and some steady hurling by Waite Hoyt | for Pittsburgh gave the Bucs a 6-to-2 | @ecision in the second clash. Another sparkling bit of flinging shoved Brookiyn out of second place as | Ed Brandt of Boston turned the tables | on Walter Beck in their second duel of | the week, winning 2 to 1. Brandt gave only three blows. The New York Giants passed their rivals from across the river by turning back the Phillies. 3 to 1, as Fred Fitzsimmons clouted a homer to clinch his own game in the eighth. The Cincinnati Reds came to life and upset Chicago’s Cubs and Lon Warneke. 4 to 3, in the fourth National League game, scoring two runs in the ninth when Harry Rice clouted a triple with two on base.
