Griffs First to Score.

Not a National got on first base in
the opening inning, and in the latter
part of the round a double play quickly
offset Haneys' single, but the home
plate was dented twice in the second
session by the champions. Goslin
started the frame with "a two-bagger
against the left-feld wall and counted
when Judge crashed a long single be-
tween Wingo and Fothergill. Bluege' 8
sacrifice and Scott's intield retirement
moved Joe to the far corner, from
where he scored when Ruel shot a
one-baser TO left.
Then scoring ceased until the
seventh, when Wingo, first at bat in
the Tigers part of the round, SOcked
the ball over the right-feld wall for
a round trip of the bases. Two other
Tigers were franked TO first by Zach
during the inning, but Bluege made a
good play on Woodall's grOunder to
e$a the run-making at that time.
Tiger hits. abetted by National
errors, took the game away from the
champions in the eighth. Fothergill
started the trouble with a single to
left-center and Heilmann sacrificed.
Blue Slashed a single to center, and
had McNeely fielded the ball cleanly
Fothergill probably would not have
been able to pass third base, for he is
no speed demon. But Earl let the ball
30 through. and before Goslin could
retrieve it Fothergill had scored with
the tying tally and Blue had reached
the far corner.

Everything Goes Blooey.

Then everything went blooey as far
as the Nationals were concerned.
Zachary purposely passed Hdgney, and
the Tigers elected TO try a squeeze
play with WoOdall bunting. Judge
fielded Larry's tap in a snappy man
ner and got the ball to Ruel in plenty
of time to kill off Blue, but Muddy let
the sphere slip from his grasp, so Blue
was safe and still two Tigers on the
runwayS.
Dauss kindly lifted to McNeely, but
deep enough TO allow Rigney to take
third base after the catch. Haney then
got his third hit of the afternoon,
single to center that chased Rigney
home and put Woodall at third. Har-
ris decided that Zach had had enough
and yanked him, sending Marberry to
the slab O'Rourke, first to face the
new pitcher, biffed the ball to center,
enabling Woodall and Haney to get
home. Blackie overran second base
when McNeely heaved the ball to Ruel
in a vain effort to flag Haney and
was era Sed by Muddy'S relay to Har-
ris. ending one of the many rotten
innings the Nationals have staged dur
ing this Western trip.
The champions, in a dying effort,
garnered a marker in the ninth. Cos
lin singled, and Judge walked. Then
the Goose got to third after Fothergill
caught Bluege's hoist. AS Scott forced
out Judge. Goslin counted. DausS then
hit Ruel in the ribs, but Ruether,
pinching for Marherry, concluded hos
tilities with a loft to Fothergill.

FRENCH FALL BACK
BEFORE R|FF|ANS TO
STRENGTHEN LINES
Retreat Across River to Es-
tabIish Continuous,
Shorter Front.
By the Associated Press.

FEZ. French Morocco, May 25.-
The French troops opposing Add ell
Krims invading Riffian tribesmen
have been withdrawn from their po-
sitions north of the Quergha River, es-
tablishing their lines behind the pro-
lection of that stream.
The plan of the French command
is to establish a continuous front,
without breaks in the line, thus guard
ing against infiltrations of enemy
tribesmen.
The French withdrawal to new con-
solidated positions includes the aban.
donment of the five advanced block
houses which were recently surround
ed by the enemy tribesmen. The
French military authorities said it was
apparent the Riffians could continue
to surround these posts almost at will
and therefore force the French to
make frequent relief eXpositions. 1t
was decided that the best strategy
would be to abandon them and leave
the entire French forces available for
general maneuyerS.
The new position shortens the length
of the front, affording the protection
of the river against raiding parties Of
Riffians. French artillery commands
all points where the river can be
crossed in force.
