through a contest without banging
but at least one safe drive for the
hrst time since July II. Zack, until
stopped by the Cubs. had made one or
more safe wallops in twenty-six con.
4ecutive games.
Zack appeared at the plate four
'Simes during the game. The first three
fimes up he faced the 1eft-handed
shoots of Jim Vaughn. He was the
hrst man to come to the plate in the
second frame. and the fans. who have
been following his hitting streak with
great interest. sat back and waited for
him to make II twenty-seven straight.
But the best the slugger could do was
TO lift towering fly to right field.
which was easily captured by Max
Flack. The fans who q moment be-
fore had cheered Zack were disap-
pointed, but the game was early and
they had hopes that zack would hit
safely before 1t was over.
In the fourth inning. after one man
had been retired. Zack came to the
plate for the second time and again
the fans encouraged him. Jim
Vaughn temporarily lost control and
one OF his 1eft-handed shoets hit
Wheat on the arm and he ambled to
FIRST base. He faced Vaughn again In
the following round and raised foul
60 Fred Merkle. In the seventh
1nnins, when Wheat came to the plate
for the last time, Carter was on the
mound. and the chances OF keeping
the string intact seemed q trifle
brighter. But to The disappointment
of the followers Of the Robbins lack

10 Rollie Zeider. whc tossed him out.
Over the stretch OF twenty-six
sgames in which he connected safely
Eack made a total Of forty-seven hits,

RELIEF
FROM ICE SHORTAGE
Eight Hundred Tons Arrive in
Washington by Barges
and Train.
UNENc0URAGING OUTLOOK

The docking Of barsss with 600 tons
of ice here this morning and the
arrival by train during the night Of
| 200 tons saved washington from what
might have been q serious ics scarcity.
However, this relief is only tenn
porary.
The District food administrator Is
making every effort to keep up the
supply. with no promised relief from
hot weather and various ioemaking
plants turning out ice to their utmost
capacity the outlook for tomorrow
and the next day is considered none
too promising by those in charge Of
the situation.
No more ice will be received BY
though from 100 to 200 tons are ex.
pected daily by train from Maryland
and Pennsylvania points. This sup
ply added to what is in storage here
and the amount being manufactured
each day is by no means ample 20
meet daily demands.
Further Curtailmsnt.
Notwithstanding steps. have been
taken, at the direction Of the food
administration, to curtafl consump-
tion Of ice for less essential purposes,
daily consumption 10 gallopint ahead
Of supply.
Within the next twenty-four hours
| more stringent measures will be
adopted to bring about further cur
tailment in order to somewhat meet
the deficiency.
The local administrator is deter
mined that homes shall have ice In
| course hospitals and similar institu-
tions are in the preferred GLASS.
Many complaints and appeals are
recetved at headquarters Of the I'D.
ministration from housekeepers who
have been unable to get ice. Resi-
dents in Wardman Courts claim, they
have not been served ice for three
days, ana consequently hundreds Of
dollars worth Of foodstuffs have
spoiled. aside from the resulting per-
| sona1 inconvenience. and in many
cases real suffering.
Ice Cream May Disappear.
If conditions do not improve the
food administration will be forced to
call upon the ice cream manufacturers
used by them In the manufacture and
handling Of ice cream can be used for
home distribution. The various ice
| cream manufacturers use from soc
to 700 tons Of ice daily.
