Nationals Stopped
By St. Louis Club
Grifmen's Winning Streak
to an End After Losing
Game, 4 to 3.
By JOHN A. DUGAN.

St. Louis, May 2o-Sammy Crane gum
med up the parade OF the Nationals here
today In the fourth inning and the
Brownies stopped the Grinmen's winning
streak by lsnding a loosely played con-
test. I to s.
1t was the FIRST victory the Jonesmen
have put over in seven games and since
Bob Groom, who at one time pastimed
on the hurting mound for the Nationals
turned the trick, this Mound City Is re-
joicing tonight.
Bert GalIia drew the assignment for
the Gri1men, and although touched up
for ten hits, he pitched better ball than
this indicates, and IL 1t hsd not been for
Cranes boot in the fourth session the
Nationals would have sure copped.
Baby DolI' Jacobson, who has been
attempting in every manner he knows to
halt the Nationals winning streak, put
over a great effort today when he robbed
Grifrs clan from a chance OF tieing the
count in the eighth inning when he raced
back to the right field stand and pulled
down Milan's line drive just as 1t was
about to clear the fence.
Milan was not only retired on the play
but Foster, who figured the ball out OF
Jacobson's reach, was turning second
and was easily doubled by Groom at the
frs. sack
Groom was st agy with the allotment
Of safe blows which he allowed on mis-
delivery, as six bingles was all the Ma
tlonals could gather. three Of these COM
ing on the bat of Foster.
Groom's wildness started the Nationals
on the run-getting road, as Henry was
passed to open the third when two runs
were tailed. Crane advanced him TO sec
ond by the sacrifice route and Gallia
doubled to left field, scoring Henry. Judge
popped out, but Foster hit to center neld
and GaIlia dented the pan.
Sisler started the Browns half with
a safe blow, and went to second when
GaIlia cut loose a wild heave. Jacob
son, who is q slow runner, then hit 10
Crane, and in attempting to cut down
sIsIer at third he hit the Brownie in the
back. Severoid followed with single
which scored sisler, and Cuba Marsans
worked the squeeze play which Tailed
Jacobson.
The Browns gathered their other coun-
ters OF the game IN the fifth, when Aus
tin hit safe and scored on Sisters triple
to the center field fence. Jacobson
grounded to Crane, who cut down Sisler
at the plate, but while Judge, Leonard,
Crane, and Henry were chasing Sisler
between third and home. Jacobso4 did
the route to the far corner. Severoid then
obtained his second safe blow and Jacob
son scored.
The Nationals added their final tally
In the sixth when Foster started with a
hit and moved to second on Rice's In
field tap. Elmer Smith then hit long
fly to Marsans. who made no attempt to
head on Foster going to third. "Fatima"
pulled a la Ty Cobb and kept digging
for the plate, and when the fieet-footed
Cuban recovered himself and decided to
throw, Foster vas across the pan.
Marsans' stab Of Smiths drive and ia
cObsOn's one-hand catch of Milan
bleecher clout were the fielding features
of the game and were also responsible for
putting the Nationals on the short end
OF the count. The score:

THE FOOLISH ROOKIE

Away down South" a rookie said,
TIL show 'em how to twirl,
TIL come back home a hero, and
TIL win some city girl"
So under balmy Georgia skies,
Where chillsome breezes blow
He buzzed the ball across the plate
And dreamed of big league dough.
But when the boys came rolling hom,
All ready for the gong
This verdant rockies dream had fled
For he was not along.
They left him in a small tank town
In Georgia State one day
where underneath the balmy skies
He tossed his arm away.
