Gritfs Beat AS In Final.
A winning streak of a couple of
games. almost as remarkable for the
Washington ball club as two straight
defeats for the Mackmen, was estab-
lished yesterday. when the Nationals
took the final of set with the Ath-
letics. 6 to 2. This gave the AS three
victories in the series of five games
and they hit the trail for home, where
the Browns are scheduled to open the
invasion of western clubs tomorrow
with a flnger-nail hold on second
place. due to the fact that the Indians
obligingly dropped a Slugging bee at
Detroit.
The punching proclivities of the
Ma ackmen, who s rule this spring
have made up with distance any
blows, were conspicuous by their alb
sence in the Sabbath battle, due to
the sterling brand of singing flashed
by Jonkheer Baskerville Hollings-
worth, who surprised himself. his
manager, his teammates and siz-
able throng by travelling the route
against the mauling Mackmen, yield
ing but five bingles and only one
count it, one-base on balls. Jonk-
heer's customary quota OF passes
ranges from five to nine in about two.
thirds of the distance he negotiated
yesterday.
uoll1,'S mound ,papeuvers were in
direct contrast TO those of r. Kellar
Hasty The gangling Georgian frank
ed but two of the home talent, It's
true. but he overlooked the trifing
matter of preventing base blows from
being achieved in conjunction with
them and when he later became dis
astrously generous In the business or
yielding grouped bingles his term Of
toll was curtailed Curley Ogden got
his job and made an impressive debut
in the seventh, but the Swarthmore
graduate was not permitted to escape
unscathed by the bristling Bushmen,
who were hustling hard to make up
some of the ground lost earlier in the
campaign.
Holly Makes Poor start.
The outlook for Hollingsworth was
none too rosy at the outset, when
Matthews safety over second. Ri
conda's sacrifice, Perkins death and
a safety to center by Hauser put the
Mackmen in the van. and the many
supporters of the AS on hand were
given further encouragement in the
following frame when Galloway's
double and successive sacrifices by
welch and Scheer. the latter's a long
fly to Goslin, netted them another
counter.
This was the extent of the damage
accomplished by the White Elephants,
however, as only four other visitors
reached the runway. Miller was the
beneficiary of Holly's only free ticket
in the fourth and he was killed off
with Galloway in a double play. Ri
ting a double with two down in the
sixth. Welch got a life to no pur-
pose when Bluege erred in the sew
enth and Miller's single in the ninth
was unsupported.
Doubles by Rice and Leibold in the
first and second innings. respectively,
proved fruitless. but the Bushmen
tied it up in the third. Hollingsworth
strolled for a starter Rice and Peck
both lofted. but Goslin's bounder over
gave Bluege the setting of a full
house and the youngster delivered
with a line single to center that
cashed a pair of his playmates.
A Gift From Galloway.
The tally attained by Rice in the
fifth practically was gift from
Galloway, for his wild heave put
Sammy on second and he negotiated
the remainder of the distance on
Peck's sacrifice and Goslin's infield
demise.
Bluege's bat again was in evidence
in round s. which marked the end of
Hastys regime. The youthful third
baseman whacked a safety to center
to inaugurate the inning, moved up
on Leibolds sacrifice and Tailed on
a hearty double to right center by
Harris. The latter. in turn. scored
on a single to the same sector by
Ruel.
Ogden's pass to Harris and one-base
blows by Ruel and Rice accounted for
the final tally in round 8.
