berry was not the only National to
get a humping yesterday. Irving
Hadley, young pitcher. was struck on
his right arm by a ball thrown by
Bob Reeves during fielding drill and
may have to idle a day or two.
Sam Rice is having trouble getting
rid sof his grippe cold. He had ex-
pected to play yesterday, but felt too
weak for the effort and may not be
in action today.
Al Simmons had all the luck in the
worId with him when he batted in
the third INNING with AS on second
and third bases and two out. First he
fouled toward the grandstand back of
first base and Judge. after getting
under the ball, tripped on a practice
pitching plate and muffed the catch.
That meant a second strike against
AL. Then Ruel barely missed holding
a tipped ball, Juggling it for couple
Of seconds before letting it fall to the
ground. After that Simmons hoisted
q foul between third base and home
and both Ruel and BTuege started for
it, Bluege calling for the catching
chance. Ruel. though, persisted in chas-
ing after the sphere and ran into
Ossie just as the latter was about to
grasp it. That meant a tumble and
the official scorer charged Bluege with
an error. Then Simmons singled TO

and spoiled his perfect day by ground
ing to Reeves at short. Incidently the
Rube's five trips to the plate were in
five successive innings.
Both Simmons and Hale got on
base twice during the Athletics big
fifth frame. Simmons walked the
first time up and singled the second
time. Hale walked on both occasions.

The AS began again in the sixth.
