GR|FFS WIDE awake
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, September "a
There was not a break in the Athletics
defense yesterday which tho Grinmen
did not take advantage of. It was only
by being wide awake that they were
able to score their two runs on Jack
Nabors, which compelled Mack to
yank Jack in the eighth to let man
hit for him, and which brought into
action Rube Bressler. who could not
stand the patient waiting the Griffmen
did in the ninth. Griff cautioned every
batter who went up to the plate to
face Bressler to play out the string. and
as they all obeyed instructions to the
letter, Rube, who has only Joined the
Mackmen after summer in the East
ern League, passed along four men
the Nationals theIr- two superhuous
runs.
The Griffmen undoubtedly would have
had hard time beating Nabors had
they not been on their toes. Tho first
tally came over in the sixth with two
roller with Leonard on first. Only fast
running by the former Cleveland boy
prevented him from being caught at
second even after Grover foozled the

recovered quickly. but was a second
behind Leonard, who got to the half
way cushion in the nick Of time. He
came home when Smith singled to left.
In the very next inning Shanks
just long enough to let shanks outrun
the toss to first. This set the stage
for the second run, for Morgan's sin
gle through Healey and sacrifices by
Henry and Gallia brought over
Howard.
Had it not been for these two field
ing bulls and the Nationals wide-awake
base running Nabors probably would
have beaten Gallia, despite the 1atters
excellent pitching. He allowed tho
Athletics only five hits. but marred hts
work by wild-pitching in Healey with
the tailenders' only tally of tho game
in the third. The score:

Special Dispateh to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, September 2s.-
Sam Rice showed yesterday why Grif-
fith has good reason to believe the
converted pitcher will earn a perma-
nent place in the outf1eld next year.
He singled of Nabors tho first two
times up. the first hit to right, in tho
second inning. and his second sailing
out past Witt in the fourth. He was
called out on strikes in the sixth. but
started the waiting system on Bressler
in the ninth by walking on four
straight balls. He used good judg-
ment every time UP. despite striking
out, and will be a hard man to keep on
the bench next year.
Ray Morgan does not play a half
bad first base. He took some nasty
tosses at first base with tho ease of a
Hal Chase and kept his foot to the bag
on every throw. His only error was a
at second when McElwee laid down a
sacrifice bunt toward first in tho
eighth.
The Grirmen were deeply interested
in the result in Brooklyn. They had
the score flashed down to them from
the press box before 1t was posted on
the scoreboard. Most Of the Griffmen
seem to be pulling for the Phils to win
the National rag. but predict q Red
Sox triumph again when the big fall
classic Is held.
Tho clubs will go into the double
bill tomorrow. Mack decided to take a
chance on the weather Of postponing
one of these other games in order to
get in the bargain bill for the halt
holiday. They need the money at
Shibe Park, for today a scant 800 f1it-
tered through the turnstiles. and they
were not all live ones at that.
Wally Schang caught his first game
since early in the spring. Mack tried
to make the erratfc star an outfielder,
but has now given up the task as a
bad job. and from now on Wally will
do receiving for his. With strunk.
Ping Bodie and Thrasher in the outer
works, Wal1y has no chance to horn in
as a regular for next year, so Mack
intends to keep him behind tho rubber.
Joe Bush is hobbnng around with a

yesterday, tho nrst eight innings were
played in ono hour and twenty min
utes; but whom Bressler went IN for
the ninth he actually wasted twenty
four minutes before the third National
was retired It then required only GAL
liza four minutes to set down tho Macks
for tho end Of the game.

University OF Pittsburgh. He Ia 9
greatly improved player, and succeeded
in getting two Of the dve hits OF
Ga1lla. He almost lost q leg in the
seventh inning when Ray Morgan
crossed him. With Shanks on first and
no one out, Healey figured Morgan
would lay down a sacrifice. and on tho
first pitch to Ray he dashed in for the
expected bunt. Morgan, however, took
a healthy lunge at the ball and shot It
through Healey's legs with the speed

Thomas Duo to Twill Third Game
Against Mackmen-Braves Fail
to End Giants Streak.
BY J. ED GRIILo.

There was nothing impressive about
the victory tho Phillies scored over tho
Robins yesterday. Both teams display
cd nsTvousness IN their fielding, and tho
very fAot that Alexander was hit for
not n his bsst.
Had the Brooklyn team had any kind
Of efreotive pitching It probably would
have beaten Alexander.
II - understood that Pat Moran wfu
send Nppa Rfxey to tho mound against
the Dodgers today. and that Pfeffer,
one Of tho best right-handers In tho
league, will be pitted against him
Rixey has not shown Is good form OF
late as he did earlier IN the season. and
Pfeffer, too. lost fve or six straight
games before he won ono recently.

sion such great surprise It the Giants
were to make a clean sweep of the
series, and then finish the season by
taking all four games from Brooklyn
and putting the present leaders out Of
the running.
There is not another instance on roc
ord when a team has won SO many
straight games and the chances are
that the McGraw aggregation will
hang up q mark which never will be
equaled in the annals Of base ball. Had
McGraw gotten his present team to-
gether about two weeks earlier he
would have won the National League
pennant in q common canter.
Claude Thomas Is to pitch the third
game of the series against the Mack
men today, and If the youngster is in
form he is very likely to score another
victory. Marvin Goodwin and Doc
Ayers are slated to work in the double
header tomorrow.
Tho defeat of the Red Sox at the
hands of New York yesterday was not
q serious setback for the Carrigan team
for the chances are the Yankees will
not be able to win either Of the two
remaining games.

CRAMP SHIPBUILDING co.
TO ENLARGE ITS PLANT.
Purchases Forty Five Acres Of Ground
On Pettys Island in Delaware
River.

The purchase of forty-ilye acres of
Pettys Island, in the Delaware river
by the Cramp Shipbuilding Company
for an enlargement of its present
plant and the construction of large
oil refinery bv the Crew-Levick Com
pany was confirmed yesterday.
The Pennsylvania railroad is also
planning to build span between the
island and the New Jersey side of the
Dlaware river to facilitate the trans
portation Of shipbuilding supplies and
exI ort of oil. Discussion of this pro-
Get has air ably been taken up with
government officials at Washington.
The bridge will connect with the
Amboy division of the Pennsylvania
railroad. affording a direct outlet at
New York and New Jersey. Pettys
Island is situated directly opposite the
Cramp shipyard at Philadelphia. 1t
was once the residence of colonial
governors and the transfer point of
slave runners, but for many years has
been nothing more than a neglected
strip of land.
The Cramp Company will build a
dry dock on the island. where vessels
will be taken after launching. The
present plant will be devoted exclus-
lively to hull and repair work.
