But now they can get nothing more

of the set and on the larger field at
Washington. where the last three
games of the series are to be con-

Goose Spoils Day for Fans.
But the big homer of the day was
made by Goose Goslin in the seventh
when Nationals adorned the first and
second sacks. The Salem Slugger
lined the sphere over the right-feld
wall and spoiled the afternoon for
some 10000 Philadelphians. The blow
proved to be sufficient to make the
Nationals record for engagements
with the Macks this season read:
Won 6, lost 4.
Walter Johnson and Robert Groves
were the opposing slabmen. and the
old master just managed to shade the
youthful southpaw. Walter gave up
eight hits and walked four batters,
while Groves was reached for ten
safetieS and allowed five men to stroll
TO first base. Each slabman pinked a
batter.
Groves got by his first inning well
enough, although two Nationals got on
the runway, but after getting two
Macks out Johnson was roughly
treated in his opening session. Lamar
singled to right and Simmons slammed
TO left, putting Lamar at third. Welch
singled Lamar home and Simmons to
the far corner. Then the Athletic
runners essayed a dual theft. Ruel

a throw to that sack, then wheeled
