other run and behind, 2-1, the Nation
ais tried to fetch Ernie Koch, who was
wild, but three double plays pulled
him out Of the short rallies. 1t was
because Koob scattered the five hits
never two to an inning-that the Ma
donals gained eleven base runners
and only one run.
The base runners were produced

GRIFFMEN GIVEN
SLIGHT SETBACK
INDIVSION DASH

ST. LOUIS, No, Aug. 21-The Ma
donals converted eleven of their
thirty-fve batters into base runners
at first base, while the Browns sent
ten Of their thirty-three to first to try
to complete the circuit Still the box
score showed a difference Of to in
the run column, with the Griftmen on
the short end.
This was the story in the first game
Of the series yesterday sad one,
indeed, for Griffith, who has his eyes
set on a first division finish for 1917.
II Griffith can crawl into the big
four, it will be almost as big q
triumph as the pennant for the Red
Sox or White Sox, because a month
ago today, in st. Louis, the Ma
tonals, beaten by Dave Daven-
port, to 2, slipped down into the
cellar.
Then-with defeat, no one saw a
ray OF light for Griffith and his Ma
tionals, but following that game on
July 20, they turned around and put
together the record Of twenty vic
tories In twenty-seven starts, with
slight surprise in Detroit Sunday
and again here yesterday

Win with One Run.

Up to the 2-1 score against the
Tigers and the Al tally here, the Ma
tionals had scored one run in only
two Of their twenty-seven games.
These came on August and Au-
gust Il and that single marker netted
Victories-against the Browns and
Yankees.
But In these two games the pitchers
failed to put over the shut-out margin,
Jim Shaw, probably would have
oreezed along with a string of ciphers
for Fielder Jones had he received
good support from Eddie Ainsmith,
but the big catcher, who has been
working like a trojan and catching
brilliant ball, slipped on two shots to-
day and they spoiled the start of the
hiRht-handar

But the Nationals couldn't bunch
their stuff. They did once, and it
netted a run This was in the second
when Foster opened with his pass.

out Morgan, to third when Lavan
missed q throw from Koob and across
the plate on Ainsmith's single.
Following Horace Milan's single
IN the third, Shsnks flied to Jacob
son, and Horace was caught off first
In the sixth, Clyde Milan put Shanks
on second with a sacrifice, and Rice
tapped to Koob. A throw to Magee
caught Shanks in q run-up, and La
van, getting the putout, tossed to
Sisler, who tagged Rice turning first.
In the eighth, Walt Johnson was
bumped on the left knee, and Memo
sky was substituted as the base run
ner. Horace Milan shot down to La
van, and q double play was put on.
ShanlCs came next with a triple, but
It was wasted as Pratt caught CLYDE
Ailan's pop fly.

waited Too Long.

In the ninth the Nationals waited
too long. Rice grounded to Pratt and
Lavan tossed out Foster. Morgan
drew q pass and Charity singled to
left. Ainsmith bounded to Magee,
who stepped on third, closing the
match
Ainsmith's wild heaves started
early. Nagee singled in the first,
stole and Ainsmith's wild pass sent
Lee to third. Sisler singled to right,
scoring Magee. In the second Smith
singled and SEVERED repeated to right
,Ainsmith tried for Smith at second,
tossed wide OF the mark and the run
ners moved up q base. jacobson sent
Horace Milan to the fence for a put
out and Smith crossed the plate.
With Gallia on the hill in the
eighth, the Browns punched hits for
two runs. Magee singled and went
20 third on Sisters single to center.
Pratt singled to center, scoring Ma
gee and put Sisler on third. Smith
lifted a sacrifice fly to Rice, Sisler
scoring.

PromIses Action.

Out OF the total Of eight third
round matches. the one between R L.
Murray and W. T. TIlden. jr, of
Philadelphia, stood out as the most
promising for action. Both players
are wizards in serving up the ball,
and both are smashing all-over-the-
court players when at their best
Another match which promised to
be hotly contested was that between
John R. Strachan, of California, and
A. w. MACPHERSON, the Russian cham
pion- MACPHERSON is the only remain
ing player who, IL he wins, could
carry his honors out OF this country,
as Count Otto Salm and Keiichiro
Kashio, German and Japanese players,
were eliminated yesterday.
Western players are again showing
their class at the West Side Club.
Chuck Garland's playing was espe-
cially brilliant against Karl H. Behr,
and the youthful Pittsburgher is
scheduled to give a good account of
himself today when he meets Douglas
Waters, Of New Orleans.
John Strachan and Clarence ]. Grit
fin have upheld the honor of the Pa
cific coast to date, and both are con-
coded a good chance to enter the
fourth round.

Illuminated by star shells, and imme-
diately afterwards shells began to eX-
plode a short distance inland. The
family in which the casualties occur
red consisted of nine children and the
parents, and vivid story of their
experiences was told at the inquest
on Mrs. Daisy Agnes Morgan and her
baby daughter, Phyllis Frances, who
were killed. The husband and father,
Frederick Horace Morgan, a general
laborcr, whose daughter Doris 8, died
in hospital, said: "At about 11:15
p. M. | was downstairs when l heard
the commencement of the lombard

top of the stairs l found my wife
dead. 1 raised her up and found
she had the baby in her arms. The
baby groaned little, and I took her
up the street and handed her to the
postmaster, who took charge of her.
Then I went back to my wife again.
A young man came to help me and
the police arrived" Morgan added
that the firing seemed to come from
all around. Several splinters of she'll
were handed to the coroner. Contin-
uing, witness said the shell knocked
4 hole in the wall about four feet in
diameter, and blew down a partition
inside the house. He found the fuse
ii the room where his wife met the
full force of the shell. She was about
three feet away from where the shell
came through the wall. She had gone
to fetch the baby. The coroner ex-
pressed his sympathy with witness,
who said that his eldest son was at
the front. The jury returned ver-
dict of "Death from shell wounds"

dict, and he thought a verdict of
