double-header in Clark Griffith
Stadium Thursday. starting at 1880
O'Clock. half an hour earlier than
| usual in the case of twin bills here
The Macks also will be guests in
Washington for single games Friday

President Clark Grimth and Vice
President Billy Richardson have
gotten lot Of kick out of this series
heSe. Being officers of league-lead-
lns cluo led them to stage a special
dinner party last night.
After Goslfn made the circus catch
that ended the game yesterday, he
was playfully roughed by Matthews
and Rice before he could leave the
field. The Nationals have all the en-
thusiasm one would expect to find
in some big college athletic team
but not in standard professional
ranks.
Now that Meusel's suspension has
been lifted, he is playing center field

Johnson was used at second yester-
day as the Nationals were employing
orthodox hurlers.
fourth inning when he failed to catch
Peck'S foul fly after colliding with
Schang, who was set for the ball. 1t
was a costly play, for on the next
pitch Peck slammed. for a homer.
Peck made a pair of spectacular
plays in the shortfield. One came in
the fifth frame when Scott drove
through Bluege only to have Roger
retrieve the ball and throw for an
ball high off Russelrs glove. but
Peck jumped for a one-handed catch
and tossed out the Yank.
Ruth had 4 tough time at bat, even
he hit 500 for the day. His lone
first inning. Zahniser walked him in
the fourth, and Russell in the sixth
and eighth frames, but in the tenth
when one of the Bambino's famous
swats would have meant a Yankee
victory. for Emil johnson was an
first, Russell famed him. Ruth
waved for all three strikes, too.
Rice took quite a chance when he
dashed from third after Meusel
caught Harris fly in the tirst inning.
The Yank had captured the ball just
short distance behind second base,
but Sam beat the throw.
Judge was the victim Of a great
catch by Ruth in the ninth. The Babe
went to the rightfield bleachers
screen to rob Joe of at least a triple
Matthews did some heady baserun-
ming to convert his dragging bunt
into a two-bagger in the first inning,
when he saw Johnson starting for
first, Wild turned the initial bag at
full speed and was at second well
ahead of tha thrOw of the Yankee
second sacker, who had to rush out
to short right field to get the sphere.
Walter johnson left the Nationals
yesterday for Washington immedi-
ately after receiving word his wife
had been stricken with appendicitis.
According to later advices received
here. Mrs. Johnson's case is not SO
serious as first supected and the
pitcher may soon rejoin the club.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Tunney to
beat Spalla. but not to knock him

Greb to beat Moore. but not to
knock him out
StriblinG to beat whoever faces
him, but no Knockout.
ANY one who wants to bet against
this dope card does not have to look
far to get down his money in New
York. The fights are part Of the
Milk Fund show, which will be held
in the Yankee Stadium on Thursday
night. The advance sale of tickets
gives the project a fine. healthy look.
The crowd, in fact, is sure to be big.
If Tunney gets by Spalla. as he is
pal in at least two more good sum-
mer bouts. One will be against Car
pentier. perhaps, and another-per-
haps-will find him facing Tommy
Gibbons.
Now that Dave Shade and Leo
Flynn have adjusted their differences
with the New York athletic commits
sion, there is every reason to expect
that the Californian will face the
winner of the Leonard-Walker battle
Those on the inside are the more
confident of this because of the quiet
manner in which Flynn is accepting
the drawing together of Leonard and
Walker.
1t is foregone that the lightweight
champion and welter king will
mingle in New York this summer, for

The Indians are not finished yet If

er, had his right hand so badly
mangled that it was necessary to am
putate it at the wrist.
Mr.. Martin was employed shred
