That satisfied Harris that Ruether
was not right for the day, so Russell
was waved to the hill. Allan got out
Of the difficulty well, for Davis popped
to Scott and Robertson forced out
Rego with a hopper to Harris. Rus
sell, though, was wobbly from the
start of his trick on the slab. Nc
Manus combed him for a triple with
two gone in the fourth frame. and
after walking the first pair to face
him in the fifth, a snappy double
play was needed to relieve the situa-
ton.
The sixth session was the last for
Allen. He franked Robertson and
Harry Rice to the initial sack, then
pitched a wide one to Sisler. Out
went Russell and in came Marberry.
Fritz famed Sisler and RuePs throw
to Bluege shared Robertson, who.
with Harry Rice, had tried to steal
as their manager whitfield. There fol-
lowed Scott's foozle that upset things
considerably.
Error Means Five Runs.
Everett let McManus' grounder
trickle through and Harry Rice tai
lied from second base on the play that
should have resulted in a third out.
Marberry hit Williams and jammed
the hassocks by passing Jacobson.
La Motto then hit over McNeely's s
head, and when the ball bounded into
the end Of the open concrete stands
everybody got home.
Not another Brown got on base
after that, but the Nationals were
able to reduce the visitors lead. With
one gone in the sixth session, Harris
tripled, and after Rice's loft to La
Motto, Goslin walked. Judge then
doubled against the right-field fence,
tallying his two eliminates.
Ruel's single in the seventh went
into the discard, but In the eighth
two more National markers were re-
corded. Adams, sent into the game
late to relieve Harris, who had been
spike wounded, opened the round with
a double to right-center. He took
third as Davis tossed out Sam Rice
and scored when Goslin's looper to
short left fell for a two-baser. Judges
retirement moved the Goose forward a
notch and he cashed at the plate as
Bluege singled. That was the last
run OF the day.

Chickens come home to roost. Bob
La Motto, who was shifted from the
Griffs to the minors in 1928, made the
champs hustle to bag the first three
games from the Browns and prevented
them from getting the last. He field
ed sensationally at shortstop In the
four contests, batted at a 500 clip,
scored three times and drove in nine
runs. To cap the climax, his homer
yesterday cleared filled bases and
salted the game for his team.
In retiring Robertson in the second
inning Manager Harris was spiked
and had to withdraw from the game
later. The wound so lamed Bucky
that in the sixth he got but three
bases on a hit that ordinarily would
have been a homer for him. Adams
was sent to second base for the
champs in the seventh and did well.
Bluege's homer was a solid sock
that went high into the open concrete
stand. 1t probably would have been
a homo run in any of the parks of
the circuit.

the club seems to have made an excel
lent trade.
Noted as Hard Hitter.
SEVERED, who was "a years old June
! last, joined the Browns in 1914 and
had been their first-string catcher
since 1915. He is ranked as one of tire
best receivers that ever stepped into
the big league and as one of the best
batting backstops in the game. He
has a lifetime batting average of .2S6
and this year has been banging the
ball at a great rate as regular and
pinch-hitter, the latest statistics CIV
ing his 1925 rating at $50.
The Nationals were sorely in need
of catcher to give Muddy Ruel some
relief. They had Benny Tate and Har
grave last year, but neither was pol
ished enough to step into Muddy
shoes, and the club was fortunate that
Ruel was able to go through such a

after one was out in the third inning,
were too big-hearted TO be helpful to

pasSeS-one of them intentional-and
kept himself in hot water all the time.
Russell gave up one hit and four
passes before leaving the scene in the
sixth, after heaving a wide one to
George Sisler with two on and none
out.
The generosity Of Ruether staked
the Browns to a healthy lead, and
Russelrs wildness helped make the

the bases with a hit batter and a
pass. Bob La Motto, who had been
troublesome all through the series,
cleared the sacks with a homer that
put the Browns on easy street.
In the meantime Dixie Davis, who
came back after being manhandled by
the Nationals Sunday. went along
we'll with the exception of the sec
ond inning, when a homer into the
open concrete stand by Ossie Bluege
scored a fellow clubman ahead. From
the sixth session on the champs peck
ed at Davis offerings with some sue
cess, but their ten hits and two walks
netted nothing as good as did the ten
walks and seven hits the Browns got.
Three passes and as many safeties
were highly profitable to the Browns
in the first inning of the engagement.
Ruether franked Robertson, lead-off
batter. and Harry Rice sacrificed. Sis
Ter singled to left and Robertson en-
deavored to tally, but was cut down
by Goslin's fine heave to Ruel. The
Browns boss took second on the
homeward toss. McManus strolled and
took third, while Sisler scored when
Williams shot two-bagger to
center. Jacobson then drew a pass
and counted with Williams when La
Motto singled to right.
Bluege Gets Home Run.
The Nationals wasted a hit in the
first frame and so did the Browns in
the second, but the champs did some
worthwhile clouting in their portion of
the latter round. With Goslin out of
luc way, uuSe sent d uIlNe lO"dIu
