"wildfire" Frank Schultz punched
through timely wallop that gave the
locals their two tallies in the third
frame, while Clyde Milan contributed
some brilliant fielding that offset a
perfectly good rally started by the
Burkemen in the final frame. Up
uutil the ninth inning, when the
Brownies threatened to grab the
game out of the fire. Shaw had only
allowed two hits. and only three balls
had gone to the Nationals outer
works.
It looked bad for the big Stogie'
in this ninth frame, when Fritzy
Maisel opened the way with a hit to
right field. George Sisler followed
with a blow to center. but Maisel was
cut down at third in attempting to
move along when Milan made a great
peg to Foster. Demmitt sent the
Tennessee Flyer" on a long journey
to pull down his offering, which APP
peared liable for extra sacks. but
Clyde camped under 1t and held Sis
Ter from advancing. George stole
second when Lavan dropped Aim
smiths peg. and Hendryx drew a
pass. but Gedeon ended the battle
by flying to Shotton.
Milan blew a chance to get the Ma
tionals started In the run column
When he whitfield at a trio OF Lefty
Leifield's southpaw slants in the first
chapter. After Shotton grounded out,
Foster singled to left and moved
along when Leifield hit Judge in the
ribs
Maisel got life in the Brownies
opening frame by the free transpor-
tation route, but Sisters effort was a
foul fly to Ainsmith. Demmitt follow
ing by tanning at three. 1t was one,
two, three for the Brownies In the
next two frames, Gedeon and Leifield
whiting at Shaw's smoke.
Wildfire Schultz placed a timely
single to center field in the Griffmen's
third that tailed the locals fund two
runs. After Shaw grassed out Shot
ten drew a pass and went to third
when Foster bingled to center field.
Judge filled the sacks by looking over
four wide ones. but Milan forced
Shotten at the plate on a grounder to
Sisler. Schultz then put the Ma
tionals out in front with his hit to
center.
The Brown-legs got one run back in
his second walk and tallfed when
George Sisler obtained the first hit
of Shaw's slants. which was a double
against the gate of the garden wall
in right field. After Demmitt and
Hendry flew out Sister attempted to
score from second on Gedeon's In
field hit to Lavan. but Johnny cut
him down on a good relay to Ain
smith.
The Nationals threatened to score
in the fourth when Lavan opened the
way with a blow to center, but Ain
smith forced Lieut.. Johnny at Aus
tins station on an attempt sacrifice.
Eddie stole second, but was cut down
at the plate In trying to score on
Shotten's tap to Austin.
Again in the fifth the Griffmen
threatened. Foster beating out a
grounder to Gedeon that counted
for his third hit. Judge forced

"Fatama" at second but Milan got
life when Leifield hit him with a
pitched ball Schultz forced Milan
at the midway cushion and Shanks
ended the rally by hoisting to Aus
tin.
Tobin was passed with no one
down in the Browns sixth but Shaw
made Maisel, Sisler and Demmit
hoist to the inner works. Ainsmith
hit with one down in the sixth and
again stole second base but Shaw
struck out and Arr was retired in
trying to pull the delayed steal
when Shotton was passed.
The Nationals again wasted q
chance to score in the lucky frame
when Foster got life on his fourth
hit. Judge followed with an infield
whack to Maisel. Milan grassed to
Gedeon, who held Foster at third
while both Schultz and Shanks lifted
short hys to Hendryx.
Jimmy Shaw crashed out a double
to left center with two men down
in the Nationals eighth and Bert
Shotton drew a free issue but Fos-
ter's effort was only a long fly to
Demmit.

MILWAUKEE, AFTER

THIRD MAJOR
SERVICELEAGUE
May Have Albany AL
Navy Circuit When Stars
Return After Big War.

Some one has suggested that after
the war Is over we viii have an ALL
military league-one made UP OF play
ers who have done their bit for Uncle
Sam and come back to tell the part
they played in history. All things
are possible. so we will suppose that
some John McGraw. Charley weegh-
man or Harry Frazee will be az the
dock when the returning transports
land To grab off the homecoming
heroes for the military league.
And IL one Of them is lucky. and
granting that all the diamond sth-
etes return safe and sound. how would
this look for a team TO win the cham
pionship In the new third major:
Pitchers-Alexander, Pfeffer, Fahe-.
Sherrod Smith. Shore. Csdore, Rixey.
Catchers-Gowdy and Snyder.
First base-Hoblitzel or Pipp.
Second base-Barry or wambs-
ganns.
Shortstop-Maranvill
Third base-Leonard or McNally.
Right Field-Lewis.
Center Field-Rice or KaufS.
Left Field-Earl Smith or Jack
Smith.
OF course. as players from day 70
day are called TO service, more stars
get in Uncle Sans uniform and
doubtless that team could be i'm
proved on: but all the players men~
toned already are near-vetersns in
the service and a few of them az
least have been under fire.
Or perhaps we may have an sli-
Army and all-Navy League as rivals
for the favor Of the fans, replacing
the present American and National
Leagues. in which case we would ex-
pect a worlds series with the packies
contesting for the honors against the
doughboys.
Then we might see these teams
staging an October classic:
ARMY.
Observation-Disclosures, Carlson. Rlxey,
Smith and Cadore.
Catcher-Gowdy.
First Base-Hohlitzei
Second Bsse-Schmandt
Shortstop-Rath.
Third Base-Ward

Two new names have slipped into
the leading batters of the two
leagues this season, George Burns
in second place in the American and
Heine Groh in the runner-up posi-
ton in the National.
Groh's name has often been in
the 800 lists. but this is the first
time the diminutive one has risen
so high in the ranks. Burns case
is even more peculiar as he was
traded by Hughie Jennings Jast year
because he was unable to hit

BURNS AND GROH SURPRISE

As one OF the leading batters.
Groh occupies a unique position. He
is the only man in either league
who deviates from the usual style
OF not standing with his body par
allel with the plate. Groh stands
at the plate with his body toward
the pitcher. Other batters face the
pitchers by turning their heads al
most at right angles to their bod
les.
If Groh should happen to beat out
Wheat for the National league lead
ership it will be the third time in as
many years that Cincinnati has fur
nished the league leader. Chase in
