these DAYS only in the tact
that thew cannot be tumbled
,rfo the second division OF the Amer
loan League race during this western
tour. ,
Through with the Indians today
and glad of il. too. The hapless harrls'
men will next encounter the W nI'e
Sox in Chicago in a ee-game series
So far hack of the Nationals are the
fifth place Schalkmen that the former
though they should drop all three
games of the set beginning tomorrow
could not fall below the fourth posi-
ton. to which they have descended
from second in the standing or the
clubs since leaving Washington early
last week.
In slough of despond as they
are and with cataracts over their bat
ting eyes. the Nationals have only
faint hope of lettering their standing
before returning home next Tuesday.
When their pitchers pitch the Ma
tionals do not hit. nor do they hit
when their pitchers do not pitch. To
make matters worse. they falter afield
at critical moments. The club has
left undone nothing that could be
done TO make the swing through the
West virtually a total loss. And at
present there's no relief in sight.
Reeves Back on job.
Wearing from shutting his pack of
players without drawing winning COM
binations, Manager Harris yesterday
decided to return to his original line
I'D as far as the physical fitness of his
charges would permit. He restored
Young Robert Reeves to shortstop. but
deemed il hest to leave Joe Judge.
regular first sacker. on the bench
that his injured leg might get more
rest. so the recently acquired Eddie
OnsIow again was sent to the initial
sack.
He aligned his forces as he was
accustomed TO do before the Nationals
fell into their sorrowful slump. then
led them onto Dunn Field only to
have them defeated for the ninth
successive time The Nationals put
IN a good battle against the Indians
for a while. but the early advantage
thew gained when the youthful Willis
Hudlin was hurting for the home club |
failed to kelp them one whit when |
their own hurer. Tom Zachary. fell |
q victim to the war clubs of the |
Tribe.
Then the massive Garland Buckeye |
came to Hudlin's relief and south |
paved the Nationals into submission,
while Fred Marberry. who succeeded |
Zachary. had runs charged against |
him when his outfield supper. went |
to pieces Bob Burke finally went |
TO the box for the Nationals. but by |
the time he appeared on tee scene 1t
seemed the Indians were content with |
their spoils.
Indians Obtain II Hits.
Eleven hits were made by the In
dams off the trio of National hlirlers.
Zachary. after holding the Tribe at
bay for two rounds. gave up seven
OF the safeties in the next three
innings. Marberry allowed three
blows in his two sessions on the hill,
but would have Jared better had Goose
Gosiin and Iris Speaker been more
alert in the outer defense.
Ten hits ratified off National bats,
which is as good as the club has done
In any game excepting the two extra
inning battles, since coming West. |
Four of these were punched against |
Hudiin in the third round. when three
runs were rung up. After that they
faced Buckeyes pitching and in but |
two of the remaining six innings were
they able to cluster as many as two
bingles.
The Nationals scoring splurge was
opened by Bluege's walk. Reeves sac
rificed, then Zachary singled Bluege
home. Rice's single moved Zach to
third. from where he crossed when
Harris smote a one-baser. his first |
safety since August 10. Bucky was
charged with 33 times at bat between
his hit of August 13 and that of yes
terday. Rice reached the far corner

Hudlin's place and disposed of Onslow.

a pass to Joe Sewell crowded the cush-
ions. Luke Sewell's Texas Lacquer to
left registered Fonseca and Burns.
Griffmen Forge Ahead.
The Nationals forged ahead again
In the fifth, that Rice began with a
single. Harris retirement advanced |

Issued Intentionally following a strike
pitched by Buckeye. Onslow then got |
his first hit as a National. a single
arched over the short field, to score
Rice.
But the Tribe again bumped Zach
for two runs in this inning. Lutzke
