Ruether flashed masterful eXhi-
bition of pill propelling to turn in vic
tory No. to offset the three defeats
charged against him since he was
waived out of the National League.
brooklyn. New York and Pittsburgh
papers please copy.) He yielded but a
fistful of bingles as compared with
the 12 amassed by him and his mates
against Rube WalberE, Arthur Stokes
and Fred Heimach. and with perfect
support would have recorded shut
out.
Over the stretch of the first seven
innings the Mackmen were able to get
but three scattered hits. Galloway was
forced by Walberg after obtaining a
safety in the third, and Perkins, bat
ting for Cochrane, drilled into dou-
BILE play following a walk to Welch in
the fifth, which nullitied Poole's single
and a pass to Galloway that followed,
while neither Lamar nor simmons
could assist Hale after he connected
for two bases in the sixth.
The AS succeeded in grouping a
pair Of pokes in the eighth when they
rung up their only marker, but would
have been blanked then but for
miscue by Bucky Harris.
Galloway, the only Macklet to get
more than one hit off Ruether. led
with crash past Bluege. and reached
second as Heimach got a life when his
roller was thrown wide by the boy
boss. Dykes skied to Goslin. and
Hale's hopper TO Judge resulted in
Heimach being forced at the middle
station Lamar's one-baser to right
sent Galloway home. and after Sim
mons drew free ticket to crowd the
corners they were left that way when
Ruether forced Welch TO whack
straight at Harris.
Griffs Early on the Job.
walbergs unsteadiness got him into
a lam at the outset and he had to do
some clever curving to escape with
but one run charged against him in
the opening round. He got but one
strike over for McNeeley and had to
groove the ball that Stan Harris lined
to center for a single, sending Earl to
third. Rice and Goslin, the big guns
of the champs, were compelled to pop
impotently, but Judge crashed
single past Dykes to right field that
cashed McNeely. Judge executed
workmanlike theft of second and when
Walberg was unable to get three balls
over for Bluege he purposely tossed
the fourth one wide, filing the bases.
With the stage all set for him Peck
raped down the third base line to
Hale who gathered it in and stepped
on the sack for a force-out.
McNeely's infield safety in the
second led to nothing. but the Griffs
fired sufficient ammunition in the fol-
lowing frame to boost their run total
by one. Bucky Harris opened with
a slashing safety to left and after
Rice's death galloped to third on Cos
Inns double to right center. Judge
twice bunted foul with the squeeze
sign displayed and then bounded to
Dykes to register Harris. Goslin was
left on third when Bluege rolled to
Galloway.
Three TalIies i'm Fourth.
Three big. juicy tallies rewarded the
offensive efforts of the Nationals in
round a. when d quartet of bingles
were punched with errors by both of
the alien hurlers in service. With
Pack disposed Of Ruel singled to left
and moved up on Ruether's looping
safety to the same sector. Walberg
hurled one strike to McNeely and
then fired wildly in an effort to nip
Ruel off the middle cushion, Muddy
and Ruether both advancing a notch.
Rube was lifted here, his place being
taken by Art Stokes, the Highlander
from Emmittsburg, Md. who was OBJ
tanned by the AS from Des Moines
pf the Western League. McNeely
greeted Stokes with a shot to left
that scored the Washington battery
men and took second on the throw

Harris death, on a liner to left by
Eice that just eluded Galloways
grasp. Sam pilfered second with
Stokes holding the ball and continued
to third on the pitchers poor throw to
Poole. only to be stranded when Cos
lin lofted.
Safeties by Judge and Ruel in the
fifth were wasted, Ruether taking d
third strike for the final out, but the
champs registered in the succeeding
session without benefit of bingles.
