What a record Rice has thus far
this season, his fourteenth with
the Washington club, the only
one he has served in the major
show Sam did not have a regu-
lar job during the first four games
of the campaigning, although he
managed to crash into two OF
them as a pinch batter. On April
%, when the Nationals helped the
Athletics to open the season in
Philadelphia, however, Rice was
installed as a regular in right
field, and he has not missed a
game since.
Only once as a regular has he failed
to play through a full engagement.
That was in Cleveland on May 6. Then,
after the Nationals had slowed away
the game by scoring 10 times in the
fifth inning. Rice gave way to a sub
stitute for the remainder of the day.
Big Factor in Attack.
Rice has been a thorn in the sides of
opposing hurlers since regaining his
regular berth. He has batted against
all styles of pitching. and his left-hand
swing has been equally effective against
southpaws and orthodox pitchers. He
has had 1856 legal times at bat for 81
hits more than any other National has
made. That means an average of 1865.
Great hitting in any league! Sam
ord to date shows but six doubles and
three triples-but he's been singing
the ball often enough.
During the season Rice has waited
upon the pitchers of the opposition for
an even dozen bases on balls, made
four sacrifices, swiped two bases and
been pinked once by a pitched ball
And but one Strikeout is charged against
him. That happened in the fifth in
ming Of the second game of a double
header lin Philadelphia on May ID.
Then Sam let third strike, hurled by
the venerable Jack Quinn. 20 by.
Rice has contributed generously to
the Nationals run total in the cam
paign. He has crossed the plate oftener
than any other of his club, having 80
guns to his credit. And his hitting has
been responsible for the scoring of 10
other runs, which puts him close to
the top In this respect. Quite a power
in attack is this Rice person this
season.
Few HitIess Games.
Rice failed to shine as pinch batter
DOfMe he became a regular this year.
Tie first time he tried it he lofted to
the outfield. The next time he was
somewhat better, drawing pass. But
as regular he began hitting in his
first engagement, and he has missed his
hit in only of 36 games. Nine times
he has made as many as three hits in
a contest, and 10 times he has made as
many as two hits. Twice in double
headers he has had five-hit days.

BY WILLIAM J. CHAPMAN,

TIME long, long trail ended
for the Athletics and the
Giants yesterday when the
l. Tigers and the Cubs spent
their respective afternoons in
getting a bit of revenge for recent
indignities, but no great cheer
was heard to go up from the
camps of the Browns and the
Yankees at the general state of
affairs in the American League.
The New York entry gained one full
game on the flying Mackmen as a re-
suit of the days proceedings and the
Browns held their ground, but neither
received any guarantee that Prof.
Connie Mack would not go forward
again at an early date.
The Athletics were due to lose a game
sometime, and it had to be the Veteran
John PicuS Quinn who Succumbed to
Detroit bats. After the dean of all the
pitchers retired from the field of action,
Mr.. Mack tried the daring experiment
of exposing Oswald Orwell to enemy
fire, with the result that the Tigers
sealed their victory by to 4 to the
accompaniment of home runs by He'll
mann and Shea and fine pitching by
Victor Sorrell. The Detroiter never

With Bambino Ruth still on the
shelf. the Yankees were not so ferocious
on the offensive as they have been
known to be, but they had enough to
squeeze out the decision over Red Faber
and the White Sox by 4 to 2. Red failed
to reach the heights he sometimes
achieves against the Hugmen, and Henry
Johnson was some better than he has
been on certain occasions this year.
The Yankees now have seen four
successive starting pitchers finish their
games. Some more work of this order
would be more welcome to Higgins than
another batting spiurge-Which is GER
tain to develop sooner or later anyhow,
after the Yanks make restitution to the
law of averages for the gait they main

Bluege's Theft for Sixth Run
In Ninth Upsets Browns, 81

runs and seven Of their 10 hits were
stuff he had when Collins bounced a
single of his right shin in the fourth.
Beall was wild, and walked the first
man facing him in the fourth frame
to force over run. Thereafter,
though, the local product got away
with his game nicely until the ninth,
when the Browns nicked him for a
pass and two safetieS that meant two
tallieS. 1t was Walters first appearance
as a National.
Collins allowed the Nationals but
three hits in the first five innings. They
got as many more in the sixth for their
first tally. In the eighth Rip lost his
cunning, and a double by Myer and
passes TO Rice and GoSlin caused his
exit. Cronin reached Ogden for a
sacrifice fly to put over another Wash
ington marker.
Manager Johnson sent II Nationals
into the fray. Walter never gives up
hope. He went to the first base coach
er's box for the first time since rejoin-
ing the club after his illness, and talked
himself hoarSe, but was we'll repaid for
his efforts.
Rip Collins proved a good hitting
pitcher. He got three blows in four
trials, seeking two singles and double
after taking a third strike the first
time he batted.
For the first time in years the Ma
tionals can show as good as an even
, break with the Browns, with the first
two series of season gone. The win
yesterday was the third in six starts
against Howley's club in the present
campaign. and gave the home side a
$3.50 split in the four-game set it
ended.

4 BALL game was played in the
~ last half Of the ninth inning by
~ the Nationals yesterday in
4 \ Griffith Stadium, and they
won, 8 to Z. They entered their
last batting turn five runs behind the
Browns, and many things happened.
We present the story of the big parade.
Jack Ogden, right-hand ST. Louis
hurler, who had relieved Hip Collins in
the eighth, was nicked for single at
the start of the ninth by Benny Tate,
pinch batting for Muddy Ruel. Then
Ira Flagstead batted for Walter Beall
and did nothing more than hoist to
Fred Schultz in center. When Buddy
Myer got to a three-and-two count
Manager Walter johnson hustled the
f1eet-footed Stuffy Stewart into the
game to run for Tate, and there was
plenty of action from then on.
Ogden completed the pass, and Sam
Rice smote a a&3ele that scored Stewart.
Still four ruEs to go for a tie. Ogden
couldn't find the plate again, walking
Goose Goslin and Sammy West in sue
ceSsion. Vests walk forced Myer over
the counting block and Ogden to the
shower. To the slab went Ed Strelecki,
with the Nationals still three runs shy
of a tie.
Joe Cronin, first to face the new
pitcher, grounded to Red KreSs, and
West was forced at second base for the
second out. But Rice Scampered home
during the play, and the Nationals were
just two runs behind. Roy Spencer
went in to run for Cronin, while Ossie

for a week nursing his trick knee.
stepped up to bat for Charley Gooch.
1t was Streleckis turn to go wild, and
he walked Bluege, filling the bases for
the third time in the inning.
Then Jack Hayes, who had gone hit
Tess in three batting trials, strobe to the
plate. Jack picked a good one and
picked it. The ball travelled to center
field for a single, Goslin and Spencer
tailed and BhIege reached third base.
The game was aeadlocked.
Out came Strelecki and in went the
youthful Chad Kimsey to pitch for the
Browns. Stewart, now batter instead
of q pinch runner, because the entire
Washington side had stepped to the
plate in the inning, tried to sock the
sphere, but only succeeded in fouling
it. Hayes skipped to second base un-

26, Rice was stopped cold by Quinn, the
only pitcher who has struck him out

In this second streak Rice has been at
