The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1924-09-18

In the third inning Jameson
singled to left, Summa beat out a
hunt to Bluege and McUulty
scratched a single. When Johnson
picked up his bunt with his bare
hand and found third base uncovered
the sacks were jammed with nobody
out. Then Joe Sewell, vicious
hitter, came up.
Sewell tore off q hard grounder
to Peck's right. The Washington
star was playing in close for .
May at the plate. He leAped over
for that drive, just succeeding In
knocking IL down. Jameson dug
for the plate and scored easily.
Never quitting for an instant.
Peck raced after that dancing ball.
Summa was running like a deer for
third base and had passed Peck
when the latter reached the ball.
Knowing he might cut off Summa
by a superhuman effort, Peck did
just that little thing, picking up the
ball and half turning Tipping 1t to
the waiting Bluege at third. Billy
Evans. umpiring at third, waved
Sumna out and the great play was
finished.
AL Walters led off for the Indians
in the ninth. He is a light hitter,
but Speaker lacked any other catch
er and so was unable to send. in a
pinch hitter. Johnson was thunder!
ing along then like a huge mountain
locomotive going down grade and
Walters was fortunate to get hold Of
N Qf al
Out went a short ny TO left
field. GOalin, who was playing
fairly well over toward center,
started IlOtfOOt for that bali, which
was dropping fast. The Washing.
ton gardener must have covered
fully thirty yards when he,reached
the foul. line and he could see the
BAN falling \ II front q him,
a With q last wild effort Goslin
tore over that line toward the
Washington dugout, and just as the
ball was about to land safely on the
grass he reached out his g1oved
hand and caught It. He had to con.
tinue running well nigh to the dug
out to keep from falling on his face,
so far had he been stretching when
he made the cacth.
With johnson apparently certain
OF his victory, that catch of Csoslin' q
brought the sympathetic fans to
their feet and he was cheered wildly
as he trotted back to his position.
Luke Sewell, the clever young
backstop OF the Indians, is out OF
the game for a few days with a
split hand. He received It in the
second inning just before Judge hit
safely to center. Smith served up
q wide curve and Luke went after
u with his bare hand. Seeing the
blood trickling from his catchor's
hand, Speaker Immediately ordered
him to the. clubhouse and sent in
Al Walters.
Luke SeweIPs injury Is serious

first frame with a sharp single tc
left field. This is the leagues best
record for the season, George Burns
having stopped at nineteen and
Wally Pipp, at twenty-one.
Pat McNuIty stole bingIe from
Goose Goslin in the fourth inning.
He went over to the wall in%rieiit
center and just as GOslin,s liner
was about to pass over his head
and hit the fence, he leaped high
into the cir and came down with
the ball.
Frank Ellerbe has sturdy pair
OF legs. It is well nigh impossible
to knock him down with a drive,
and he proved It in the seventh
when, with Ruel on third, Johnson
hammered vicious groundsr down
to, him. ElIerbe jumped, gralJDed
the ball with both hands, bluffed
Ruel to stay on third and then
tossed out johnson with a perfect
peg to Burns.
