their, first run. With the exception of
the third and seventh, only three bat
ters faced Smith in each inning and
not one of those who got on reached
first base. The young pitcher tight
ened up after he had been jolted for
the two homers, but the damage had
already been done.
Big jeff ffefrer, who was in the box
for the Dodgers, was hit freely. but
after being found for six safeties in
the first four innings, he became more
allowed only three more hits for the
remainder of the afternoon.
The Phillies bumped Pfeffer for two
hits in the first inning and these, COM
bined with an infeld out, gave them a
one-run lead. GREASY" Neale, the
first batter up, shot single past
Myers and took second on Rawlings
grounder to Johnston. Williams poked
a single to right, scoring Neale, but
the lanky Cy was cut down at second
by Griffith's fine peg. Meusel lifted
fly to Wheat for the third out.
After going along at great rate
for two innings, Smith wavered in the
third and the home players tied the
score. Bernie Neis led off with a sin
gle to center and Miller spilled one in
front of the plate in attempting to
sacrifice. Both runners were safe
when Bruggy made wild heave to sec
ond base in an attempt to head off
Neis. Pfeffer popped to Rawlings and
Olson forced Miller at second on
grounder to Ralph Miller. but Johnston
followed with single to deep short,
sending Neis across. Johnston was
nailed stealing.
The Phillies came right hack in the
fourth and again went into the lead by
scoring a run on two singles and
sacrifice. Wrightstone opened with a
single to left and reached second on
Mil1er's bunt to Johnston. Lee came
through with another single to center,
sending Wrightstone home, but the
rally came to an abrupt end at this
point as the next two batters went out
in order.
Neither team had much e. an oppor-
tunity to score again until the seventh,
when Griffith and Wheat broke up the
game as related above.

Losing Streak
For McCraw
Polo Grounds Team Tri-
umphs, 9 to 4, After Six
Defeats lin Succession
By Charles A. Taylor

A home run with the bases full is the
aim Of every ball player. 1t happened
Yesterday at the Polo Grounds in the
game won by the Giants by a score of
to from George Washington Grants
aspiring Braves. Needless to say, i'll
was Long George Kelly who made the
long hit.
This circuit smash by Kelly came in
the seventh inning, and put into the
shade the home run toll already coll
lected by the famed Babe Ruth. The
home run score now stands six to five
in favor of Long George.
There was never q worse day for
baseball. The clouds were more than
ominous, and despite the daylight saw
ing law old Nimbus and Twilight kept
lowering over Coogan's Bluff from the
time Umpire Hart called "Play baln"
until the final out was made In the
drizzly haze. which even took all the
enthusiasm out of Harry Stevens's pea
nut venders, the ball game was played.
It must be called la ball game. 1t was
so scheduled and 10000 fans "drizzled"
through the proceedings for seven in
nings. Some 1000 impatient followers
of the game, discomfort with the show
offered and anxious to meet home and
family by supper time. quit as early
as the seventh inning. They took their
usual stretch, and then Long George
Kelly's wonderful clout kept them on
their feet long enough to pass out
with heads up.
Braves OF in Front
The Braves started out most proudly
Powell succumbed to the southpaw'
shoots of Arthur Neff, but Christen-
bury banged the ball safely to center
and shot to third as Southworth
bounced hit off the glove of Neff.
The hard-hitting Nicholson smashed to
right for one base. and Christenbury
crossed the plate.
The Giants tied up the struggle under
the low-,ying clouds in the second
stanza. Ross Young. who had finally
succeeded in drawing the last bit of
water off his right knee, made his debut
with double to left. He passed ahead
4 peg on Kelly's dribbler to the infield
and scored when Walker drove the ball
to Christenbury for double play.
In the fourth the Giants got real
busy. and when the census of the inning
was taken it was found that three runs
Rad been duly regi tered in the ledger
of the official scorekeeper.
Fordham Frisch led off with single
20 center. only to be forced by Young.
Long George Kelly walked and Young
scored when Oeschger made a wild
pitch. Honey" Walker singled to left
and Kelly strolled to second. Goldie
Papp walked and then Smith came
through with a single to right field
tfat tailed both Kelly and Walker.
Settle Argument in Seventh
In the seventh, with the rain getting
n,o,e and more persistent, the Giants
settled all argument. Burns flied out
to center Bancroft walked and ad-.
vanced to second on Frisch's single.
lcunc drew pass and the bases were
full when Long George Kelly pounced
upon Fiilinghim, who had supplanted
Oeschger. and crashed the ball into the
upper right field stand for home run:
This blow settled everything and
after losing streak Of six games the
Giants have come back into the win
ming path.

ne, zoo, passes over the great divide.
An extemporaneCus fun-maker is.
Nick. He seizes every chance to turn
his antics into laugh producers. and
always with an eye to the game itself
Some maintain, and perhaps with rea-
son, that the wonderful start made by
George McBride's men this year is not
little due to the playful, but at the
same time enheartening, spirit shown
by Nick, both on the fell and in those
drearisome jaunts about the circuit.
But it is on the playing field that
Nick is most playful, and long before
game time, wherever the Washington
team is billed, host of fans is waiting
for the lovabie clown.
Nick displays the major part of his
fun wares during the practice sessions.
At one moment he will appear as first
baseman and will gather in throws
from his infielders from every angle,
and always with one hand. He scorns
to belittle himself by using both
hands; and he makes a speciality of
taking a savage toss from deep short
while seated on the initial bag.
Leaving first base, Nick next appears
as chaser of high inheld flies. And
here, too, he misses few, but many is
the laugh at the novel way in which he
makes his catches.
Perhaps one of the most popular
stunts of Nick is his imitation of the
various postures assumed by the UNI
pires. Connolly is the one umpire who
fits in best with Nick's "Nickromasms. i"
Every move of Connolly behind the
plate or at first base or back of pitch
err is duplicated perfectly by Nick,
amid the merriment of the stands.
NO one can describe the doings of
Nick on the ball field. 1t is necessary
to watch him, for. as ninted before,
the program of each day varies ac-
ordlrg to the opportunities afforded.
But Nick was not always the clown.
lie was a member of that famous hit
less White Sox team which captured a
rennant and WAS the real hero of the
world series that resulted in the over
throw of the rival Cubs from the same
Chicago town.
Charles Comiskey said he would
never part with Nick in that long ago,

Victory for Uncle Robbie
BY r. ]. Kelly

Fresh from their four consecutive
trlumphs over the Giants. the Dodgers
registered their ninth successive vic
tory by defeating the Phillies in the
first game of the ssrics at Ebbets Field
Yesterday afternoon. The score was
to Z. The National League cham
pions were trailing when they came to
bat in the seventh, but home runs by
Tommy Griffith and zack Wheat gave
them the deciding tallies.
George Smith, who was the pitching
star of the Columbia University team
several years ago, was the victim of
the two circuit wallops. After Lee.
the Phillies' first baseman, had muffed
foul fly by Griffith in the seventh,
Tommy lifted one over the right field
wall. On the next pitched ball Wheat
pulled the same stunt.
Smith had previously given fine
exhibition, limiting the Brooklyns to
two hits in the first six innings. Both
came in the third inning and these,
combined with an error by Bruggy the
Phillies' catcher, gave the home boys

Lands Permits
Roush to Play
For Cincinnati
Red Outfielder Had Been
a Holdout Beyond Time
Limit Set by Commissioner

CHICAGO, April 3o.-Ed. Roush,
Cincinnati outfielder, to-day was re-
instated by Judge Lands, baseball
commissioner, and is eligible to play at
once.
Roush had been holdout and after
signing his contract had to be rein
stated by Judge Lands before he
could take part in any games.
Roush was the batting champion OF
the National League last year, and his
return to the lineup will go long way
in making the Cincinnati team con-
tender for first division honors in the
circuit this season. The return of
Roush leaves Heinie Groh, the crack
infielder, as the only hoid-out on Man
ager Moran's roster, which was shot to
pieces until the curtain was about to
rise on the 1921 race.
Roush demanded $4,000 for three
years from President Garry Hermann
Of the Cincinnati club, but he signed
one-year agreement last week, and
the stipend is said to be $4,000. The
exact terms, however, were not made
public.
Roush recently joined the team in
St. Lonis, and is reported ready to step
at once into his old berth. Under the
ruling of Judge Lands he NAV enter the
game in full standing at once.
