For the last game of the block with

yet to beat or be beaten by the Fohl-

ager Fohl will oppose Zachary with
Howard Ehmke, generally considered
the best bet of the Red So on the
slab.
About the oldest double play made
by the Nationals this season was ac-
complished in the fourth inning OF
yesterdays game. The Red Sox had
the bases filled with one out when
Flagstead rified a = liner toward
Ruether. Dutch raised his gloved
hand and the ball caromed off II to
Bucky Harris. The manager made
a shoetop catch and stepped on sec
ond base before Wingfield could
scramble back to that sack.
Todt's triple of Ruether in the first
inning was healthy slam to deep
centerfield, but he was fortunate to
get three bases on his hit off Ballou
in the seventh. 1t was low liner to
center that McNeely came in to take
on the first bound. A freak hop, how
ever, sent the ball over Earl's head
and before he could return 1t to the
infield Todt was sliding into third
base.
Wingfield's homer in the second in
ming was one of the few ever made
within the confines of Clark Griffith
Stadium. It was a terrific siam that
skidded past McNeely and rolled to the
extreme corner of the park.
Bucky Harris was in a savage hit
ting mood. getting three clouts in four
times at bat. He doubled to the
bloody angle in right in the first in
ming, singled over first base in the
third inning and rolled a one-baser to
center in the fifth. Williams muff Of
fly ball put Bucky on base in the
sixth.
Sam Rice never, reached first base in
his four times at bat. but he drove in
two runs. His grounder to Prothro
enabled McNeely to score in the first
inning, and a similar rap by Rice to
Rogell put Earl across the plate in the
third.
Joe Judge broke into the National
lineup for the first time since he was
hit in the head by one of Earl White
hills pitches, more than two weeks
ago. He ran for SEVERED after the
latter tripled In the eighth. Joe soon
will be ready to resume his regular
Job at first base.

I confess l don't know what the
one. But have talked with returned
anglers and have read accounts
written by others and am convinced
that not only are there red trout in
plenty in this country. but that the
red trout must be a wonderful fish.
According to some anglers, the
Canadian red trout outfights the sal
mon or any other kind of trout
known. John B. DeMille in Forest
and Stream tells of having found
the water literally alive with trout"
in some of the inland lakes in the
Gaspe country. The red trout are
described as large trout. beautifully
colored and demon fighters.
The aquatic propensities of moose,
II find. are not So we'll known as
they should be. The fact that such
a monster animal is so at home in
the water Is almost incomprehensi-
bic. But the moose will sink into
mud deep enough to hopelessiy mire
COW or horse and will walk out
easily. This is because his hind legs
are -Almost double -jointed, and he can
lift his hoofs as high as his back
and can almost scratch his ears with
them.
Here's what Henry Braithwaite
says about him:
THE late DIR. Wheeler, who hunted
many years with me, and syho was
killed in France during the World
War, in one of his articles referring
to moose called them swamp hogs.
think that this is g. very appropriate
name, as they spend most. of their
time in Summer in swamps, lakes
and dead waters, feeding on pond
lilies and aquatic plants. They win
go down to the bottom of the lakes
and feed on the vegetation that grows
there and wilhstay under water long
enough to drown two or three men,5
one after another. They nearly de-
stroyed many of the best fishing
lakes by feeding on the bottoms and
making the water so muddy the fish
couldn't live in them.
L remember once padding along
dead water when something rose be-
hind me which took such a start out
of me that I nearly upset the canoe,
thinking 1t was some sea monster
that had come up the river and got
ten into the lake, but it was only

Gum, however, is not alone In
bringing the new era to the champion
ship. Where Evans. Ouimet, Mars
ton. Gardner and Heron, all ex-chan1-
pions, failed to qualify, there were
Upson, Mackie, Dick Jones, Gum and
Vincent Bradford, all in the match

five do not total 100. The eldest of
the group is Dick Jones, the lad who

uct, is not so good as the other four,
but still was good enough to qualify
where the champions failed.
Oakmont has brought two irrefut-
able facts-the first that the cham
pionship doubtless will never again
be played as it was played here this
week; the other, that a new era has
risen in the amateur game and that a
new champion is in process Of devei
opment, either from Washington or
from Atlanta For Roland MacKen-
zie, even though he was nosed out
by Dick Jones, is a championship
possibility and is bound to win soon
