Over St. Louis.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
@ANIpA, Fla March 30.--Seven in
row, and all over major league
clubs, too. That's the Nationals
i record in Florida after an 8-to-5

a row, and all over major league
clubs, too. That's the Nationals
i record in Florida after an S-to-5
licking handed the Cardinals
here this afternoon.
With this victory the Griffmen be-
came assured Of the edge over all
major foemen in this State and clinched
the championship of the so-called
grapefruit league. Against big time
opposition their record now is 10 VIC
tories and 2 defeats, while the Cardi-
they wind up tomorrow, now have q
Florida record of 10 triumphS and
reverses, with only one more setto on
their schedule for the Sunshine State
Walter Johnson's charges won rather
easily this time. Irving Hadley and
Bob Burke did some good flinging, while
the Southworth singers, Bill Hallahan
and Harold Elliott were not So hard
to hit. Furthermore, Hallahan was gen.
erouS enough to hand the Nationals
nine passes in the first four rounds.
Washington got dozen hits of the
two st. Louis moundsmen. treating each
alike. st. Louis got four hits and a
trio of runs off Hadley in five rounds,
and three hits and two runs off Burke
in the latter part Of the fray. Each of
the last two slams at Burke'S expense
meant runs. They came in the ninth
and were homers driven under the
+ fence by Clarence Jonnard and Taylor
Douthit.
Three Runs in the First.
Three pairs of Washington feet clat-
tered across the plate in the first in
ming when Hallahan went wild after
two were out. GoSlin and Barnes
strolled and advanced a base each as
the st. Louis finger made a hectic
heave. A pass to Cronin filled the
sacks. Judge went to a three-and-two
count. Then, with all runners under
way he cracked single to deep center.
That gave the Nationals a neat lead.
Singles by Ruel and Goslin accounted
for a marker in round two. Muddy
began the inning with his. Hadley
sacrificed and West walked, but Myer
popped to the second sacker. Goslin'S
long single, though, sent Ruel to the
counting block.
Another wild streak Hallahan suffered
in the third frame netted the Nationals
their fifth tally. Barnes and Cronin
singled. but Red was nipped at third
when Judge tried to sacrifice. A dual
theft preceded Hayes walk that crowded
the bases. Then pass to Ruel pushed
Cronin over the plate.
Hadley lost control for time in the
fourth and the Cardinals dented the
final base. After Haney watched third
strike go by, Frisch beat out a bune to
Myer. All corners were jammed when
Hadley hit Bottomley and walked Holm.
Roettger lofted to Barnes deep enough
to enable Frisch to tally after the catch.
Promptly Regains Tally.
The Nationals got this run back in
their half of the round. Myer walked
and so did Barnes after Goslin popped.
Cronin's two-bagger that dropped close
to the line in right tailed Myer. Judges
walk then filled the bases, but Hayes
drilled into double killing.
In the fifth the Cardinals punched
two triples off Hadley and got two runs
With one gone, Orsatt hit for Hallanan
and bounced three-bagger against the
centerfield fence. Douthit then tripled
to center and Haneys inf1eld retirement
let Douthit score.
Elliott, second st. Louis pitcher, was
effective until the eighth, when he was
nicked for four singles and two runs.
Tate hit safely and. after West went
out. Myer connected for a base. Rice
singled Tate home, but was forced out
by Barnes. A pass to Cronin crowded
the cushions and Myer Tailed as Judge
beat out a slow bounder to short.
The Cards kicked in with brace OF
runs In the ninth, Jonnard and Douthlt
combing Burke for homers. The string
bean had held the st. Louis batterS 10
one hit in the three previous innings.
