Slugger was put out OF the game in
The Goose ducked an inside pitch
then rushed toward the slab in bel
Hgerent mood. Restrained by Umpire
Tommy Connolly, Goslin resumed his
batting position and eventually sent
a slow roller to First Baseman George
Burns. Cole hustled to the sack to
take Burns throw for the out, and
the Goose, rushing down the line,
hurled himself at the pitcher, driving
his knees into Coles back and spiking
him in the thigh.
AS soon as he could straighten and
turn, Cole grabbed at Goslin, but be-
fore any further warfare could occur
players of both teams and the UNI
pires rushed to the scene of action.
Umpire Billy Evans Immediately or
dered Goslin out of the game. and as
: the Goose strode to the Nationals
dugout he was greeted with boots and
a shower of pop bottles from the fans.
He remained in the Nationals shelter
until several policemen arrived to
escort him to the dressing room. for
a considerable number of irate Cleve
land rooters quickly gathered to
wreak vengeance upon the Washing
ton player.
Gregg i'm Fine Form.
In today's base ball engagement the
Nationals were the whole show after
the opening inning. Then each side
started a pair of runs. but thereafter
Gregg, employing fine curve and
clever change of pace. had the In
dians practically helpless, holding
them to eight safeties after they had
gathered three in the opening round.
But Buckeye, Cole and Specie got
theirs in punches. The big fellow
was reached for six hits that totaled
1S bases before National was retired
in the third inning. Ten safeties in
four innings were CLEANED off Cole,
the lot netting IA bases. Specie was
found for triple. double and six
singles. The Cleveland trio issued
only three passes. They were rarely
able to get the ball by the champs.
Every man used by the Nationals
except Moon Harris and Hank Seve-
reid hit safely. and all except Hank
and Memo Leibold, who went to left
field after Goslin was fired from the
affair, crossed the plate. Sam Rice
was the batting noise of the day with
a triple, a double and two singles in
seven trips to the plate. Before his
election Goose socked a homer and
a two-bagger in four times at bat, his
round-tripper being a hit over the
right-field wall that accounted for the

There was no delay in the making
of markers. After McNeely whitfield
at the outset of the contest Bucky
Harris strolled to first and soon
swiped second. Rice's infield erasure
moved the manager to the far corner
from where he romped home when
Goslin lifted his homer over the right
field barrier.
The Indians promptly countered
with a pair of runs. Jameson nearly
tore Judges hands off with single
and reached third base when Lee
bumped a wo-bagger to center.
Speaker then rifled the ball down the
right-field line for a double to score
his two teammates. From then on the
Tribe was not so savage, but the Ma
tionals ran wild. In the second ses-
sion, after Bluege famed, Scott dou-
bled to left and Ruel was nicked by
pitched ball. Then Gregg poled the
sphere to left field, and when it bound
