loss of another game to the Yanks
today by q score of IA to was
quite q blow to the ambitious Ma
tionals. but 1t wasn't their most
serious loss by far. AS result
of the one-sided contest Joe Judge.
star first baseman and leading
Washington batsman. is out of the
game for some days to come. His
leg was gashed to the bone midway
between the ankle and the knee by
the spikes of Babe Ruth.
The accident occurred when Judge
fielded q fast rap by the homerun
king behind first and attempted to
beat the runner to the sack. He
and Ruth slid at the same time.
Ruth's spikes bit deeply into Judges
leg. and It was necessary to bandage
1t before he could limp to the club
house.
The loss of their infield star will
be a hard blow to the Nationals,
and until he RECEIVERS sufficiently
Howard Shanks will hold down the
first station.
Yanks Pound Huriers.
Higgins men made it three wins
in a row by slugging both Erick-
son and Courtney hard, distributing
their eighteen hits equally between
them ''Erick" lasted for three
rounds and until two rounds had
been scored in the fourth with none
out, on Peckinpaugh's home run.
1t was the second circuit clout off
the big boy. Ping Bodie having
driven one into the stands in the
previous inning with two on. This
sounded his death knell, but Court
ney was not much of an improve
ment.
For fear that he would not earn
his salary If he only hit homers
and capered about the outfleld, Babe
Ruth decided to try out his pitch
ing arm today. He worked for four
innings and except in the first,
looked as if he had the same old
world series stuff. In the opener.
a walk, Peckinpaugh's error and
Harris double scored two runs off
Babe. In the fifth he began to tire,
a base on balls followed by Char
rity's long double convincing him
that it was time to go back to his
duties in right field. He left the
box voluntarily, being relieved by
Thormahlen..
Babe didn't get his usual homer
today, only a single and a double
marking his efforts.
Harris Gets Homer.
p Stanley Harris distinguished him
self by driving one into the stands
in the sixth, but there was no one
on ahead of him This circuit drive
was one of the three hits made by
the second-sacker, who shared the
batting honors for the Nationals
with Zeb Milan. Banking on the
, reliability of Erickson. the Nation
ais figured their two runs in the
; opening round a good lead. Judge
