lose the services of Shortstop Wallie
Gerber in the Cleveland series the lat

bone in his right foot while sliding
into a base. Indications are that Ger

the former Griffman, who has been
proving an able substitute, his hitting
having been particularly good.
An encouraging thing for the Browns
has been the work of Harry Rice, who
has been installed as the regular right
fielder in place of Bennett, Evans and
Tobin, who had been splitting up the
work in that sector. Rice is the
youngster who originally tried for the
third base job a couple of years ago,
only to be beaten out by Gene Robert
son. Although a left-handed hitter
Rice has been betting all kinds of
fingers for a figure far above the 300
mark and has been using his fine
throwing arm to great advantage.
Ruether on Slab Today.
The Nationals hoped to square ac-
counts with the Tigers, who lead
them on the year to date, four games
to three, by taking the final of the
set here this afternoon, Dutch Rue

Collins or Edwin Wells, the latter a
southpaw.
Washington's victory over George
Dauss of Detroit, yesterday, was in
the nature of a personal triumph for
Jay Tee Zachary, whose mysterious
inability to win consistently this sea-
son has been causing the club manage
ment much concern.
Jezebel yesterday, hurled in strong
vile deSnite ha Of
t Raymond Cobb to get Zach's goat
by verbal attacks which included the
charge that the Tarheel was using an
illegal stance on the rubber. For seven
frames Zach held the Bengals at bay,
cleverly curving himself out of three
or four bad holes and was scored on
only in the eighth, when ORourke,
Cobb and Heilmann punched bingles
with an error by McNally.
Although he collected another trio
of SafetieS. the Georgia Peach did not
have a generally good day of it, for
he was guilty of couple of miscues
that aided the champions.
Cobb was directly responsible for
the Washington tally that initiated
scoring for the afternoon. Goslin'S
bingle in the second was fruitleSS, a
he was forced by Judge and Bluege
hit into a double play, but with two
gone in the third Zachary sliced a
safety to left and when Cobb let Nc
Neely'S bingle to center bound through
his legs JeZebel scored all the way
from first, while Earl reached third,
where Harris left him.
WoOdalI's Error Also HeIped
A wild heave by Woodall helped in
the registration of Washington's sec
ond run in round 5. Peck opened the
frame with single to left and after
Ruel was called out on strikes Roger
set sail for the midway and continued
TO third when Woodall's throw car
ried to the garden. Zachary was I'M
able to help his mate, but McNeely
slashed safety through Rigney that
CaShed Peck.
Cobb again figured in a reprehen-
Sible way in a Griffithian rally that
netted two runs in the sixth. Rice had
been disposed of when Goslin singled
10 center and took an extra base as
Ty fumbled the ball. Judge drew
Tree ticket. Bluege singled to left
scoring the Goose, and continued to
second, while Judge was being effaced
at third on Fothergill's throw to Rig
ney. Peck then whaled far over the
leftfielder's head for two bases, send
ing Oss to the counting block. Rog
was left when Ruel popped.
The champions made merry in the
seventh, scoring three runs at the
expense of Jess Doyle, who went to
the box after Dauss had given way to
a pinch hitter. A pass to Zach and
bunts by McNeely and Harris filled
the bases. Rice forced Zach at the
pan, but Goslin ripped a double down
the left field line that cashed all three
