Evening star., 1926-04-27

All three have shown flashes OF
fine form to date, but have lacked the
consistency Of Ruether, who now has
three straight victories to his credit,
with no marks on the debit side of the
ledger. The DutChma4 limited the
same Crimson Hose who totaled 20
bases on 10 blows the day before TO
eight fairly well scattered singles, and
issued but three free tickets, while
figuring on attack to the extent of Il
pair of wallops, one OF which went for
extra distance.
Ruethers task was lightened con
SiderabIy by the offensive support he
received. Is safeties. including Il triple
.t>d three doubles, being amassed off
the combined efforts of Ehmke ana
kiefer. The former started as if to
give his southpaw rival a real battle
ii it, but after the first three rounds
he got no better fast and when the
veteran ace OF the Boston staff finally
retired at the end of the sixth IL
hits and five runs were charged him.
Griffs Start i'm Fourth.
Goslin's single in the opener and
Bluege's double against the left field
barrier i'll the second were unSup-
ported. A two-bagger by Ruether to
as Rice popped in an attempt to bunt,
and Dutch was left with Stan Harris,
who walked, but the Griffmen manu-
factured a couple of runs at the eX-
penSe of Ehmke in the following
frame.
Judge had been disposed of when
Bluege received free transportation
on a fourth ball that plunked him in
the ribs and, following Myers death,
trundled to third on RuelS looping
single to short center. Ruether here
helped his own cause by lining a
safety to left that cashed Bluege and
put Ruel on third, from where he
tailed when Rice singled to right. a
halk called on Ehmke put the two
GriffS on third and second, but they
were left when Stan Harris flied deep
10 t'lagstead.
Ehmke was bumped for another
pair of markers in the fourth, al
though but one of them was earned.
Goslin started with a rap to right
and completed the circuit on Joe Har-
ris' triple to the same sector. The
latter then tailed when Castor let
one of Ehmke's shoots get through
him and had q passed ball charged
against his record. Following Judge S
death, Bluege doubled to left center
and moved up on Myers sacrifice, but
was stranded when Rosenthal inter
cepted Ruels liner.

rally was snuffed when Ehmke's best
proved to be II bounder to Myer that
resulted in a double play.
Rignev, with a solitary safety IN
Tho fourth, was the only Hoseman to
get on the runWays then until the
sixth when the Fohlmen crashed into
the run column. Haney drew Rue

by Todt scored Haney and put Roy
on third from where he counted while
I}osenthal was forcing Todt.
Another counter was recorded by
the champions in the sixth, which
marked the passing of Ehmke. With
Ruether gone, Rice lined a single to
center, stole second as Stan Harris
famed and tailed on Goslin'S hot shot
through Herrera.
Joe hleter, The Jersey City graduate,
who assumed mound duties in the
seventh after Ehml<e had let Bratche
