CHAMPS ACCEPT BID

Special Dispatch to The Star.

DETROIT, August 21.-"All the Ma

holtz at banquet after the season II

said Manager Harris today when in

continued. While such an affair as

would be considered as in honor of a
winning club, we, II we win the flag

consider ourselves in attending a pay

Nationals began, but they needed 4
wild throw by Hodapp, recruit third
sacker, to help out. That came at
the outset of the frame, when the new
man fielded Marberry's roller and with
a soft out in sight tossed the ball far
enough past Burns to let the batter
reach second base. Rice's single to
right sent Fritz to third. but when
Bucky Harris drilled to Hodapp and
Marberry was run down before Rice
could pass second base. it seemed that
Miller was to escape trouble once
more. Joe Harris made 1t seem more
certain when he fouled to Burns, but
Goslin came to the rescue of his mates
on the paths with a slash to left that
put Rice over the final block.
The Indians used Uhle as a pinch
batter after Burns fouled to Judge in
the latter part OF the 18th, but he
rolled to Peck, and the best Hodapp
could CLEAN off Marberry was a
bounder to Bucky Harris.

able to take three in row from the

Nationals, Bucky Harris and company
already are thinking quite a bit of
their invasion of the Mound CITY due,
next week. They recall with sor-
row the terrible time theAexperienced
there last month, and have an idea
that the team that knocked the AS

when he drove in the decisive tally in

Gus slamming. Rajah got four bingles

and caused Peck to be trapped in the
ninth, he was replaced on the run

the pitcher to start the third out.
There was not sensational field
ing play throughout the game. The
pitchers were working SO well that
wallops that did not fall safe were
fairly easy for the f1elders to handle.
Not until they were dining after
their victory did the Nationals learn

appears to have upset those who
are ordinarily sane in base ball
seems to be at the bottom of these
unfounded charges. If there is any
difference In the ball with which the
game is played today, it is due to
the length of time the ball has been
played with. In the old days only a
few balls were used in a game and
as the cover became soiled and
slightly roughed the pitcher gained
slight advantage. Under the pres
ent rules the pitcher is using a spot
less slick ball all the time and that
may have something to do with the
improvement in batting"
President Johnson is equally ex-
plicit in asserting that nothing ails
the present big league base ball and
that the constant criticism of it
comes principally from managers
seeking alibis for the poor showing
of their teams, or players seeking
alibis for their own inferior work.
Babe Ruth comes out fiat and SAYS
If the ball has been altered he can
not see the difference. He didn't say
much about the pitchers, but perhaps
he could.
