The homecoming of the Griffs was
awaited with keen interest by tn"
fans and they crowded into the park
at an early hour to watch the teams
at practice. especially Wild Matthews
who was appearing here for the first
time in a Washington uniform. The
little fellow demonstrated his nervous
energy by mixing with both teams
and running all over the field to
make fancy catches, all the time with
a glad smile on his face. which prob
ably reflected his satisfaction at be-
ing back in the big show.
When the game once got under

from start to finish, watching every
play with an eagle eye. and the two

in his usual artistic style, starting
one dual killing with Peck that re-
scmbled old times.
ogden started the game for the
Griffs, but this time ne failed TO fool
into the fray in the fourth inning.
One run was garnered of Martina in
the fourth. but for the next five
stanzas he had the Mackmen break
ing their backs trying to locate the
slow. straight ones, mixed with sharp
curves.
The Mackmen got away to a good
start. making two runs in the first
round. the result OF walk to Bishop,
a single by Miller, an out and two
sacrifice flies. In the third they
picked up one on Bishops triple and
Millers long fly to Matthews and in
the fourth asded another run to their
score, making it TO / in their favor
Then they were through for the day.
That initial run for the Griffs devel-

safety to right and completed the
circuit on a triple BY Matthews to
right center The trapping OF Matty

prevented another tally here.
The came the productive fourth
frame. in which the Griffs chased a
quartet of tallies over the pan to
put the battle on ice. Ruel provided
the entering wedge by unleaShing
tvo-bagger. He advanced a notch
on Peck's Texas Lacquer, and the cor
ners were crowded when Bluege
drew a free ticket. Bruggy grabbed
Martina's tap in front of the plate
and tagged Ruel. but Rice proceeded
to empty the fully peopled set of
hassocks with triple over the head
of Simmons. and continued on to the
counting block himself when Gallo
way made poor relay.

Playing manager, Washin&ton Sena-
tors. Known for his keen knowledge

y
l advise every beginner to use
his natural batting position even
though it may have weakness. In
time opposing pitchers will usually
pitch to this supposed weakness so
much that the batter will get a

was formerly impossible for him to

CAUGHT ON THE FLY

1t is possible for the Nationals to
advance to within l percentage point
of first place today. A double defeat
Of New York and losses by Boston
and Detroit would bring this about.
However, the Griffs will be doing
well to merely split even in the four
games with the world champions in
Gotham.
Roger PeckinpnuEh has put up
many brilliant games and yesterday
he added another to his best" col
lection. His back-handed stops were
remarkable and his throws to first,
from bad positions, were just as good
as the stops.
The crowd was talking of nothing
but Matthews after the game. and,
strange to say, his restlessness was
more discussed than his plays. When
a ball is hit in the air he is off. When
Bishop drove his triple to right, Mat
tie was close to Rice when the ball
bounded off the fence, and when Cos
lin captured a foul fly near the
grandstand he wasn't twenty feet
away. watching for something to turn
up. He apparently wants to get into
every play.
The home crowd will be handed the
first double-header of the season next
IhurSOay, Wnen tne AtnletlCS come
here for a four-game series. The
first game will start at 1880 instead
of the old time, 2 o'clock.
The addition of Matthews to the
Griff's lineup has doubtless con-
tributed a great deal to their winning
streak, but the return of Peck to the
steady battling line also has been
a big factor. Roger now is hitting
over the coveted 800 mark.
Martina made nm impressive start
against the Mackmen i'll the fourth
inning. He famed the hard-hitting
Simmons on three pitched balls and
then got two strikes on Riconda on
the next pair of pitches. five strikes
in a row. After that Joe shifted to
a slow teaser that kept the AS pop
ping in the air.
Last year and the season before the
Athletics appeared to have something
on the Griffmen. and fans refused
to turn out for their games. but this
year II is another story. Their new
confidence was reflected in the way
they went after Rommel Sunday. Ed
die used to have them whipped as
soon as he appeared on the mound.
Wick AItrock and Al Schacht got
tremendous applause for their skits
before the game. They put on the
slow movies, the fishing stunt and
prize fight, which was new to a great
