If after all the AS we're going TO

The AS, the Hard Rocks from

month of August will tell the story.
II the Athletics can whittle down
that once mighty insurmountable

a first-hand opportunity TO wipe it
out altogether in September. for the
two clubs have four-game series

Showing amazing comeback pow

from the Yankees, the AS have
played good ball throughout the sea-

In batting and are third i'm fielding.
The playing Of Philadelphia in the
American League in several ways
parallels that of St. Louis In the
National. For one thing, two OF the
oldest active pitchers in major
league base ball have contributed TO
the success of both clubs.

Carroll faltered In came Elan. The
three Nationals to face him In the
twelfth went out pronto.
Hadley and Carroll staged fine bat
tie I'm the first nine innings. The Tigers
got nine hits of Hadley. and punched
four of them In the fourth for three
runs to take a lead. The Nationals got
six hits off Carroll in the first nine in
nings. Doubles by Barnes and Sam
Rice we're good for a marker in round
one. Two of the three bases on balls
issued by Carroll in the fourth, mixed
with two pitches that got by Red Har-
grave, produced another run for the Ma

and scored ahead of Barnes when the
latter drove homer into the right field

Nationals got but one hit and two

Nationals will be a thing of

today'S engagement with the Tigers
the Washington club will head for
Cleveland. where tomorrow it is to open
a set of four games with the Indians,
TO be played in as many days.
Thus far this season the Tribe has
thr edge over the Harris-led aggrega-
ton. The clubs have met IL times and
the Indians have triumphed six times.
With the Nationals moving along as

During the ninth inning here
Yesterday when the first two
Tigers at bat hit the ball hard and
we're retired only by exceptionally good
catches made by Red Barnes, Fred
Marberry. who had been ordered to the
bullpen to prepare himself for an
emergency--as the Nationals had only
a one-fuh lead when the frame start
ed--viewed the proceedings on the field
instead of loosening his arm. AS re-
suit, the steadily weakening Irving
Hadley had to stick to the slab until
the Tigers had knotted the count at
4-all before Marberry had warmed up
sufficiently to be called into the game.
That proved fatal. for In the twelfth
session the Tigers got to Fred for a
three dagger and sacrifice after one
was out and carried away a 5-to-4 VIC
tory.
1t was Marty McManus, versatile
member of the Tigers who upset the
Nationals. Marty came up in the
ninth when Owen Carroll and Marvyn
Shea were on second and first bases,
respectively. Carroll had singled and
Shea. batting for Jack Warner, had
walked after two were out. All Marty
did was sock a double to right center
and score Carroll wifi a tying tally
that let Hadley out In came Mar
berry to retire Charley Gehringer, but
Marberry got his in the twelfth.
Then after throwing a third strike
past Bob Fothergill Fred was banged
for triple by McManuS. The next bat
ter, Gehringer, sent a long fly TO
Barnes and the game was over, for 1t
was an easy matter for McManus to
score after the catch
How different 1t might have been
had Marberry been ready to relieve
Hadley when the latter first showed
signs of weariness in the ninth inning.
But Fred wasn't. He wanted to see the

After the fire was conquered and
the embers died down it was found
