Mates Help sam Yesterday.

HeIp sam HeStef0oy.
The Bucks did not need any wallop-
ing by Rice yesterday to begin their
final road trip of the year with a
victory. There was enough punch in
the remainder of the crew to down
the Athletics. 8 to
The Harrismen garnered IA blows
off the combined efforts of Lefty
BaumGartner. Bill Burns and Bryan
Harris. more than enough to win
easily. with Walter Johnson hurling
for them in good form.
Johnson. in scoring his twentieth
win of the year. allowed the Macks
nine swats in five of the nine innings.
and two of them were ciIcuit drives,
but generally he was very careful in
his work. Had Earl McNeeley not
lost Jimmy Dykes iy in the sun and
let it drop for two-basger in the
second session the Macks would have
had a run and a hit less. but that
mishap meant little. for the Bucks
were well ahead at the time and
never in danger of not maintainii 3
the two game league lead over the
Yankees.
Harris and his outfit forged to the
front so quickly that the game was
a most desolate affair from the view
point of the spectators. 1t was dlfn-
cult for the MackS to sock Johnson
at opportune moments, and the Bucks
fielded so well that when any OF the
locals were on the paths they were
given little chance to advance. There
was a noticeable lack of class In the
philadelphia team. 1t played nothing
like the aggregation that gave the
Nationals such brisk brush in
Washington the afternoon of LABOR
day.
Macks May Come Back.
However it is apt to come back
brightly this afternoon and Manager
Rucky Harris is not permitting his
charges to consider the Macks In the
nature of a "set-up" He has been
preaching to his men against over
confidence the past week and eau
toned them against acquiring that
Kind of a spirit at an informal CLUB
meeting this morning. The Bucks
likely will meet with plenty of op-
position in their last 10 engage
ments and will need to fight earnest
ly. And if Harris has his way that
they will do.
A National tally was showed across
in the first inning yesterday. Nc
Neely, first batter up in the fray,
knocked a Texas leagcer over Hau-
ser's head and when the ball bound
ed past Miller. who was running in
fast, Earl raced all the way to third
base. Harris lofted to Simmons and
McNeeley scored after the catch The
fly was SO deep that Earl could
almost have walked home.
Three more tallies were hung up
in the second frame. Biuege started
the inning by walking and took sec
ond as Dykes threw out Peck. Shir-
ley then bounced a triple off the
- 4 l.. Voh on
bounced single over Hale's head
10 drive in the second run of the
inning and moved to second when
McNeely scratched a hit to Dykes.
Harris tailed Walter with a one
base knock to center.
The Macks offset Buck marker
in their batting part of the second
round. Simmons began the inning
with a single to right center. Dykes
then lofted to center field and Nc
Neely was almost under the ball for
a catch. when the sun blinded him
and he had to duck. The sphere rolled
far back and Simmons was home and
Dykes at second before Earl could
get the pellet to the infield.
Another trio of National runs came
in the fourth, Burns, who had re-
placed Baumgartner after the second
inning, being the chief victim Of the
four-hit attack. Galloway threw out
Shirley, but Johnson got his second
hit of the game, a single to right
center. McNeely's looping onebaser
to right put Walter at second base.
Manager Harris shot a single to left
that scored Johnson and when Burns
attempting to intercept Lamars
throw-in, detected the ball to the
Rrandstand wall, McNeely also count
ed and Harris got to third. Bryan
Harris then relieved Burns and Cos
Inns single off the third Mack pitcher
sent the Bucks manager to the
plate.
Each club scored in the fifth
Rueps dragging bunt that rolled by
Harriss for a single, Peck's sacrifice
and Shir1ey's drive to left accounted
for the Bucks tally. Galloway open
ed the Mack's half Of the session with
