\ home for their final extended
stay of the season. Following

of the circuit. Bucky Harris and Com
pany will have but one more engage
ment in Clark Griffith Stadium. that
with the Athletics on October 2 that
will conclude the 1927 campaign.
Tomorrow, when the Nationals will
open a series of five games within
four days with the White SoX, has
been designated as Shrine Day. No
bles of Almas Temple and other men,
: bers of the Masonic fraternity of the
: District have arranged the day as
testimonial to Clark Griffith. president
of the Nationals, as an appreciation of
the assistance he has given annually
to the staging of the Masonic and
Eastern Star Home benefit contest in
the American League plant. While
the game does not start until $3.50
O'Clock. the Shriners, who will have
their band and drum corps present,
have arranged a preliminary program,
due to get under way at 3.
Single games will be played tomor-
row and Friday with the White Sox.
A double header will follow Saturday
and lone game on Sunday with the
same club. The Tigers will come here
next Tuesday for a twin bill, then
follow with single engag ements on
each of the two following days. The
Indians in three games and the
Browns in four will follow the Tigers
in order.
Must Brace to Get Ahead.
The Nationals have little chance to
lift themselves more than a notch
above the fourth position they now
. hold in the American League race
and they'll have to brace considerably
to do that. Much better ball than
they played in the recent four-game
series with the Macks in Philadelphia
must be played here if the Nationals
are to forge ahead. They took only
one of the four games, scoring their
victory in the opener of the double
header yesterday.
That engagement that the Nationals
won, IA to 8, after a Suggest with
their foe. Sixteen hits, including
homers by Ossie Bluege and Goose
Goslin and three triples. were made
off the offerings of Rube Walberg,
Sam Gray. Jing Johnson and Ike Pow
ers. The AS collected Is off Fred Mar
- berry and Garland Braxton. Nine of
the clouts were at the expense of
Marberry in the first three and one
third innings. The game see-sawed un-
til the fifth frame, when the Nationals
went ahead to stay. So heated was
the early part of the fray that both
Catcher Muddy Ruel and Trainer
Mike Martin of the Nationals were
banished by Umpire Bill MCGOWAN.
But the Nationals lost all idea of
hitting power in the second fray. They
got but four hits off Ed Rommel,
while the AS reached Horace Lisen-
bee for 10 safeties and triumphed,
to 0. One Of the hits off Lisenbee
was a homer by Babydon Jacobson.

Second Game All Maclxs.
The second game scoring was

inning. Boley singled and swiped Sec

where he raced home after Goslin
backed to deep left-center for Hale's
drive.
A slam into the lower left field stand
by Jacobson accounted for the second
Mack marker that was chalked up in
the fifth frame.
1t was a poor chuck by Goslin that
let couple of Macks score in the sew
enth, but Lisenbee contributed to the
tallying by his wildness. Boley, who
had singled, was forced by Rommel for
the second out of the round, then Liz
lost all idea of the location of the
plate and walked Bishop. He hurled
three wide ones to Hale, too, then
had to groove the ball. Sam socked it
to left for a base, but the Goose's
heave to the plate bounded over
Tates dome. That let both Rommel
and Bishop dent the big block.

I tallies. Bishop began the attack
with a drive down the left field line
| that really should not have been
more than a double, but Goslin was
unable to check the ball quickly and
| Reeves could not hold the Goose's
return when he had a good chance
for a retiring relay to Bluege. So
Bishop was credited with a triple.
Max could not get away from third
base, however, when Hale singled.
Sammy's safety was slam that
Reeves partially blocked with his
gloved hand, then checked the for
ward progress of the ball with his
chin. Bob had no chance to throw
out Hale, and had Bishop not been
so timid about quitting the far corn
er, he could have counted. But when
French bounced the sphere over Mar
berry's head and it rolled between
Stewart and Reeves to center, Bishop
counted and Hale went up a base.
Cobb socked a real hit to right, but
was not credited with a hit in the
score. French fearing that McNeely
would catch the ball, lowered near
the initial sack. Earl did get the
sphere on the first bounce and
heaved to Reeves to force out Walter.
Hale, though, took third on the play
and registered at the counting block
when Cochrane scratched single
past Stewart.
Run number three was recorded
for the AS in the second session,
that also was opened with a triple.
The hitting was done by Boley, who
drove the ball to the right field end
of the scoreboard. Walberg sent
long fly to Speaker and Joe romped
to the plate after the catch.
Griffs Sock Ball.
The Nationals more than offset
this Mack lead in the third but the
home crowd came back in the latter
portion of the round to forge ahead
once more. All Of the Nationals
scoring was done after two were
out. Goslin. on first after forcing
out Speaker, went to third when
Judge singled. Ruel lifted triple
to the right field corner to put over
two runs, then Bluege socked the
ball against the upper left field stand
near the foul line for home run.
Cobb started the AS rally when he
drew a pass that brought about the
row between Umpire MCGOWAN and
Muddy Ruel, ended by Punishment of
the Washington catcher and Trainer
Martin. Cochrane singled Ty to third,
from where he counted after Goslin
bagged Dykes loft. Cochrane, who
also advanced after the catch,
crossed when Jacobson rif1ed
double down the left field line.
Singles by Stewart and Speaker,
Stuffy's sprint to third after Cobb got
| Goslin's hoist and one-baser by
Judge got a tie for the Nationals in
the fourth. but again the Macks rallied
in the latter part of the round to re-
gain the lead. Walberg walked and
pulled up at the far corner when
| Bishop doubled. The Rube got home
and Max made third after Speaker
| got in front of Hale's long liner. Then
Braxton relieved Marberry and the
4 Macks surrendered in order.
