Game today-Takoma VS.. Silver Spring.
Brightwood yesterday was one of the
most sensational contests held on the Su-
burban League grounds this season Tne
game Of itself was a hair raiser, but the
frantic roofing Of both teams followers

Brightwood was the first to score. push

the third strike on Bergman. and In an
endeavor to catch the fleet Brightwooder
at first, hit him in the back with the ball.
Plunkett reached first on an error by
Baggette. his first of the season. and
Robinson singled, scoring Bergman.
WOODBURY. went scoreless until the sew
enth. Baggette started the lucky inning
with Texas Lacquer to left just out of
Howell's reach. He was forced out at
second on Mckenny's grounder to Muir
ply. Hiser was walked and Bergman
dropped Shaefer's fly. after running in
front of Fentress who was set for the
catch. Ray drove out a sacrifice fly to
left, scoring McKenny. Hiser and
Shaefer were then caught of the bases.
and in an effort to catch Hiser at the
plate Murphy hit him In the back with
the ball, and Hiser and Shaefer scored.
A play came up in the seventh inning
that caused quite a controversy for
awhile. McKenny, Hiser and Shaefer,
three WOODBURY. players, were on the
bases. when Ray drove a long, high liner
to left. Plunkett made a good running
catch. and McKenny. who was on third,
scored, Hiser going to third. Shaefer
did not make an effort to leave first

who remained on first. 1t took quite
awhile to convince him that his hit had
been caught, and even then the two
teams jawed about it for about FIVE
minutes.
Fergy Fague. the Brightwood third
baseman, pulled off two startling stops
of grounders down his way and made
perfect throws to first, getting his man
each. time. Plunkett, in left. furnished
the only other fielding thrill when he
pulled down Rays long swat.
Brightwood threatened in the ninth.
when. with one out Cleveland walked
and Bergman singled. They pulled off
a double steal. and things looked ex-
tremely shaky. but Barton settled down
and struck out the next two men to face
him.
The game was played in quick time,
and had it not been for several contro-
versies that arose and that ate up time
in being Strengthened out the two teams
would have made a time record for the
season in the Suburban circuit.

Of eight seems to be conclusive evidence
that Jennings team is playing far below
its standard.
Ever since the Nationals returned from
their first western trip they played
against the three contenders for the flag.
until ST. Louis struck here. They lost
majority of games to these teams, but
always by a small margin. showing that
much additional strength was not needed
to turn the tide the other way. 1t is the
second division teams that the Nationals
appear to be on an equal footing with
and after Cleveland and Chicago have
York they Will not be many points ahead
of the locals.
Doc Gessler's three-bagger, which clear
ed the bases in the first inning. was I'M
doubtedly the hardest hit ball of the sea-
son on the local grounds. 1t was a low
line drive. which went right over second
base. Hoffman was playing about ten
or fifteen feet toward left center for
Gessler. yet the ball travelled at such
terrific speed that Hoffman could not
intercept the ball, and it went to the
fence. Gessler is beginning to hit as he
should. In the past few games he has
shown the form which made him such a
dangerous batsman while he was with
Boston.
Bob Spade. who did not last one in
ming yesterday. scored a shutout over
the Nationals in st. Louis a few weeks
ago, and 1t was then predicted in these
columns that he would find it difficult
matter to ever win another game in the
American League Spade was lucky to
get away that day In St. Louis He did
not have near as much stuff as he dis
played yesterday, yet was not hit hard
at any time. Yesterday he looked as if
he had something, but was numerically
pounded. though the first two hits by
Milan and Lelivelt were of the scratchy
variety.
Though Bob Groom allowed the Browns
but three hits, and these were widely
scattered. no one felt confident, even with
the good lead the Nationals secured in the
first inning. Bob had one bad inning the
sixth. when he grew wild simply because
he insisted on paying more attention to
base runners who would not have tried
to steal than he did the batsmen. This
is Groom's greatest fault and he will
never be great pitcher until he breaks
himself OF this habit. 1t matters not
what the conditions of the game NAV he
or how slow the base runner, just as soon
as there is a man on the bases Groom me-
chemically gives him all his attention and
consequently gets himself in a hole on

On the running turf when they find a

blinkers on him. Why not try them on

Buscher played a clever game at second
