OF the 10 Nationals who broke into
the engagement, Mike McNaly, Ben
ME Tate, Marberry and Mogridge
were the only ones to go hitless. The
heiding was not SO good. Three err
fors were charged to the world cham
plons, Bluege, Peck and Hargrave be-
ing the offenders. Bluege's miscue
paved the way to the lone run count
ed on Mogridge. and Pecks also con-
tributed to the making of that tally.
Inc men did not put as much effort
into their fielding, apparently, as they
had In other games. But they have
been so proficient in handling the
ball that the performance yesterday
must be considered exceptional.
Grfns First to Score.
The Nationals scored first, getting
TO 'FRONT.' for three runs in the open
IN inning. Harris pass, followed by
singles by Rice, Goslin and Blueee
did the work. The Bisons knotted the
count in the fourth, when they got 10
Ruether for three doubles and a one
base blow. The Nationals went to
the front again in the last half of the
fourth when Ruel, who had walked
was singled to third by Ruether and
squeezed home by McNeely
But the Bisons got busy again in
the fifth and tied the score once more.
Doubles by Miller and Kelly produced
the tally. The International Leaguers
went ahead in the seventh, when
BlueSe's tumble put Kelly on first
base and Pecks error moved the
Bison to second. After Mogridge is
sued q pass that filled the bases.
Kelley scored as McAboy was retired.
The Nationals did the game-tying
stunt In the eighth. Hargrave's s
double and Harris single putting a
run over.
Spencer Adams ended hostilities in
the eleventh with a single to center.

pilfered second base, after two were

The latter is playing first base better
than he ever played it in Spring prac-
tice. Indications are that a splendid
year is in store for him. Scott is
covering ground as well as he ever
did. He is in tiptop condition. Du-
gan and Ward are admirable fielders.
All in all the Yanks will be one Of tho
] best fielding clubs in the league.
But-the punch hasn't shown yet.
The batters can't seem to get their
bats tuned up, even when they fac
minor league pitching. They must
get them tuned up when the league
race begins. or else face a series Of
lickings. for there are three clubs in
the Western half Of their circuit and
two in the East which will pound the
ball until it's hide cracks.
Ruth Tardy With Homers.
Babe Ruth and his home runs have
been a vexing problem to the fans Of
ST. Petersburg and to the visitors
within it's gates. When the Yanks
| first arrived and began to play exhi-
bition games on the water front par}
the fans gIowed with anticipatioTp Of
seeing Ruth sock one mile ever
time he came TO bat. But it didut
happen. His homerun eye had abau-

what the Yankees seem to lack
most Is that good old quality known
as the punch" 1t is true that much
OF their recent work has been done
with young pitchers who are getting
their initiation into the gentle art
of wilmington being licked. But it
also is true that when these youngs-
ters are in the box the older Yanks
do a good deal Of standing around
and watching alphabetically to see
what is going to happen to said
youngsters
1t was said Of the St Louis Browns
when they came within one game of
a pennant and then failed to win il
that they had shot their bolt and
never would do anything again until
they had been thoroughly reconstruct
ed. 1t may be that the same fate Is
in store for the Yanks-that they.
too, must experiment. and change, and
switch, and perhaps buy new players
here and there to help them back
to winning combination like that
which won three successive cham
pionships.
Club Is Weak on Attack.
The attack is the clubs weak point
1t makes runs, but not enough OF
them. 1t is fighting constantly for a
single run, when il is a team of COM
paratively good batters. who should
be able to gather them in lunches
There have been some games played
on the sand diamond which the Yanks
are using in st. Petersburg in which
the ball has taken some very bad hops
for the New York felders. The specta-
tors here have accepted failure to
gather. many of these hits as lack OF
good fielding. But the fans have been
too severe. The Yanks have had
many bad breaks.
There appears to be no letup in the
speed of Dugan, Scott, Ward and Pipp.
