Snyder And Zachary Proue
Easy For World Champions
By GEORGE L. MoRELAND.

Circinnosi, Ohio, April TO-
In the blast of 1Ossd that cut
eleos through, in the light of q
Z sxs gone groy, the fans of the
ns;ghty Redyille stood and Laughed
at the Grifmen pay. For some
S body boys, and the sad old song
.ros yestsrday pinned on the
/. Grifs,-tAe Ciney bunch gaze the
; Nationals one, and grobbed off
> nine zcith their bifs.
Matching up their nine hits with
nine runs, the Reds scored a repeat
on the Nationals here today. and
vised but one lone passport to
washington. This makes the series
read to date seven to five, the edge
still being in the Washington camp.
Even II Cincinnati scores another
win tomorrow, with Walter Johnson
1p, the series will still be the tro-
ply of the champions guests.
Both teams were encouraged by
the prospects of meeting for once
on a regular diamond, after their
transforming trip through the
tanks, but the cold wave that had
struck the city during the past few
days continued, and II was not ffrst-
class grade A brand OF ball that
was served to the fans. only l'ooo
spectators came to shiver In the
stiff April breeze.
Nick Altrock Day.
The day was celebrated as NICK
Altrock Day, for to Nick. the clever
Comedian with the Washington out
fit. Redyille and hum" town are
the same thing. Nick had MS aseo
r,other out to see him help defeat
the champs, but twas a bad day
the champs weren't with him.
Dutch Reuther, who is being
nrimed to open against Chicago
next wednesday when the Reds
omen the season here, was matched
AGAINST Snyder. who throuShout
the series has shown a few Things
Cincinnati couldn't understand.
Alas, Snyder read like q primer TO-
day and they went after him, early
hard. frequently and continuously.
Reuther's CIout Timely.
No damage was done until the
third, although Duncan got the
range and registered a single In
the second. Twas the third when
the Reds started off with a pair.
Reliable Jimmie O'Neill fumbled an
easy one from Meyers stick, and
Bill Rariden followed with a hit,
lust in Playground but outside OF
Roth's glove. Reuther brought 'em
both In on a clean lift to right
In the fourth the Nationals tipped
over the white paint and picked on
their lone run. After Judge had
placed a safe rap in left and Milan
hit a loft that Neale collected, Rice
forced Joe at second. Roth took a
stoe-hold and nailed one OF Reuthers
fast ones, hitting far over Roush's
head for three ways, and bringing
home the single alibi.
Snyder is Pounded.
. This nipped the Joy of the Reds
and they hammered everything
Snyder offered. when the latter
didn't grant passes. Four more
was the terrible massacre.
Eddie Rouch hit a fast one far
over Rice's head, and before Sam
delivered the ball over the long dis
tance, Eddie had completed the circle
for the only home run Of the aft
ernoon.
This upset Snyder for he pro-
ceeded to pass two in succession.
Both Duncan and Neale walked.
Myer, who is subbing for Daubert
until his broken bone mends, smash
ed a long triple to deep left. and
the two trackwalkers checked in
with Charity.
Zachary Hammered.
The Akron giant then settled down
for a moment and threw out Rariden
and famed Reuther for the second
out. But Roth brought in Meyer
by sending one into right that
neither Rice nor Roth could corner.
Griff then sent in Zachary who
stilled the waters for a couple of
innings, doing the entire fielding in
the sixth. In the seventh the Reds
revolted once more, Roth starting
off with a double. He took third
when Harris tossed out Kopf. Groh
forced him at the plate when Heinie
stole second. Zach issued his )nly
walk when he sent Rouch to first
Both scored when Duncan sent a
long double to deep left. and the
latter crossed the wire when Neale
singled to right.
