w YHAT hitter! He's a pretty
a fair swinger who can in
NV crease his batting average
81 points in one game.
That's what Fred Marberry
did yesterday. He ran his swatting rat
ing from PA to .278 by walloplng
George Smith for a triple and combing
Emil Yde for single. And, to make
It a fine day all around, Fred pitched
the Nationals to an 5-to-2 victory over
the Tigers, showing here for the first
time under the guidance of Bucky Har-
ris. erstwhile pilot of the Washington
ball club.
Fred's hurting was just as clean-cut as
his hitting He allowed the generally
battering BengalS but five SafetieS, two
of which were not made until the ninth
third round when the visitors did their
counting, Fred was remarkably effec-
tive with men on the runway.
The Tigers got on the paths in all
innings but the fourth and sixth. Only
twice, though. did they have as many
as two on at one time. In the eighth
Marberry. after the first batter was re-
tired. walked Charley Gehringer and
Harry Heilmann in succession. Fred
then frightened to whiff the ponderous
Dale Alexander. while Marty McManus
skjed TO Sam Rice. In the ninth. after
Mervyn Shea singled. Bob Fothergill
picked up Frank Sigafoos' bat and
doubled. But Shea could not leave
third base. as Ed Phillips and Roy john
son lofted 10 the outfield, and Harry
Rice ended the pastiming by hosting to
Sam West
The Nationals collected 10 hits and
passes off three Tiger hurlers. Owen
Carroll opened fire against them, but
was driven from the fray in the fourth
when bombarded for two tallies that
raised the home clubs total TO six.
Then Smith pitched to the end of the
sixth round and took more punishment.
The left-handed Yde yielded nothing
more than two safeties and a pass in
his two innings of toll.
Myers single poor chuck by Carroll
after picking up Sam Rice's sacrificial
bunt and passes to Cronin and Judge
forced over the first National run in
round one. Hayes socked a single that
sent over two more markers. Cronin s
tumble Of a grounder Carroll tapped,
Johnsons three-bagger and Harry

Marberry Boosts Slam Mark
And Also HurIs 8-2 Victory

Rice's infield retirement gave the Tigers
two tallies in the third and made the
game close But the Nationals came
right back to get fourth marker in
their third batting turn, and steadily
forged ahead thereafter.
Three singles off Carroll and a Sacri-
flee off Smith accounted for two runs
in the fourth frame. A pass to Ruel,
Marberry's screaming triple, driven to
the left field corner, after the big
pitcher twice had tried to sacrifice,
and Myers hoist to Johnson Melted a
brace of scores in the sixth.
1t was big time for Marberry and his
teammates.
Sammy West was kept busy in center
field by the Tiger sluggers. He had to
run far back for several long drives in
making six putouts. Sammy had to
center to get a drive from the bat of
Red Hargrave, who dubbed for Smith
in the seventh inning.
Alexander. who has been one of the
leagues sensaI ional hitters this year,
did not fancy Marberrys pitching. The
big Tiger went hitleSS in four times at
bat twice waving for a third strike
Before West famed for the second
out in round one Myer and Sam Rice
pulled a nifty double theft, Buddy slid
ing into third we'll ahead of Shea s
throw. This must have Disconnected
Carroll considerably for after dispos-
ing Of West he passed Cronin and
Judge in succession.
A changed Tiger infield went into
action here. Heinie Soluble had been
so erratic in his play at short that he
was benched. Marty McManus shifted
from third base to the short field, and
Francis SigafooS, a draftee from Port
land of the Pacific Coast League, was
sent to the far corner. Bucky Harris
may be seen at third before the Tigers
leave Griffith Stadium
In the seventh inning George Nc
Bride, Tiger coach, had uIn-in with
Umpire Bill MCGOWAN. who was work
ing at third base and was chased to
the clubhouse. Manager Harris took
up the argument, and he, too, was sent
from the field
Manager johnson now has Hadley
BraXton and Liska in line for the re-
mairder Of the Tiger series Pilot Har-
/ riS has Whitehill. Uhle and Sorrell
Washington fans ought to see much
good hurting while the Tigers are here.

ready has been named as temporary
president of the Crackers, and it is
reasonable to assume that the Wash
ineton club is not paying Spiller $3.50
000-said to be the purchase price-for
something that will not be used to help
the Nationals as we'll as give entertain
ment to Atlanta fans.
In taking over the Atlanta club the
Washington club went the whole way.
The deal includes the ball grounds. all
concessions. the adjoining swimming
pool and all players contracts. The
ground is a valuable real estate hold
ing, aside from being fine ball field.
The Atlanta stands are of steel and
concrete and very we'll built. The con-
cessions and swimming pool have been
paying propositions. In all, 1t appears
the Washington club has made good
buy.
The acquisition of the Atlanta club
may mean that some players now wear
ing Cracker uniforms will be seen in
Washington garb before long, while a
few of those at present sporting the
spangles of the Nationals will be showing
their wares in the Dixie circuit. There
now are under Manager Johnson's guild
ance some vino plainly are not ready for
service in the big show, but who ought
to do we'll in the Southern Association.
And there may be some in Cracker
ranks capable of helping the Nationals.
Some shifts are likely soon.
Possession of the Atlanta grounds is
expected to solve the 1880 training camp
problem for the Nationals. Conditions
in Tampa are such that it has been
virtually certain for some time that
President Griffith will not send his club
to the Florida city again next year.
Atlanta looks the spot for the Nationals
camp. It is much better equipped than
any other in the South that could be
selected. Years ago the Nationals
trained in the Georgia capital and found
1t satisfactory, They're likely to land
there again.

For years the Nationals owner
ship dealt almost exclusively with
the Minneapolis club of the
American Association. But this
failed to prove a good arrange
ment. Then the Memphis club Of
the Southern Association was
tried. It. too. failed to be salts
factory During the past four
years the Nationals have strung
along with the Birmingham club
of the Dixie loop, and done right
well. Five players now on the
Washington roster were procured
from the Barons or SChooled with
them.
In the future though. it is virtually
certain many of Washington's players
will get their final grooming for toll
with the Nationals while wearing At
lanta uniforms. Like the Cardinals
who draw most of their men from the
more than half a dozen clubs owned
by the company that Sam Breadon
heads; the Yankees, who control the
st. Paul club and several smaller minor
aggregations; the Cubs who have in
terestS in the International and Pacific
Coast Leagues. and the Pirates, who
the Nationals owners will have their
own holding to turn to when their big
league fences need mending.
Reports from Atlanta have President
Clark Griffith of the Nationals stating
that the Crackers will be operated as an
Atlanta institution. and not as merely
an adjunct to the Washington club
It probably will be operated as an At
lsnta institution. It should be. for the
club has been one of the best paying in
the Southern Association. Even when
not going so we'll in the Dixie race the
Crackers get the crowds at home. But
Washington interests will not be over
looked Atlanta reports further say
that Engel, the Washington scout. al

A FTER compiling a losing
~ streak of one consecutive
~ game, the Athletics re-
4 a turned to the winning
column yesterday as their fellow
PennSylvanianS, the P ir t e S,
climbed into the National League
lead without lifting a bat. The
Buccaneers idled while it rained
and the Giants thumped the
Cardinals by 6 to at st. Louis.
The Athletics defeated the Browns by
5 to 2, and, of course, gained a full
game over the st. Louis contenders, who
fell into third place. The Yankees
worked arduously for IL innings to de-
feat Cleveland by s to at the Rupert
Stadium. Both the Yankees and the
Browns now are six and one-half games
behind the Athletics, but the cham
pions have an edge over ST. Louis in
percentage because Dan Howley's men
have played more games and lost more.
WaIberg Is Master.
The Mackian victory gave RUDE Wal
berg another opportunity to display his
mastery over the St. Louisians, who
collected only four hits off his delivery.
Coffman and Crowder were subjected to
an ll-hit barrage, which included home
runs by Cochrane and Bing Miller. Two
of the four St. Louis blows were con-
secutive homers in the seventh by Mel
lilo and Kress.
The pitching perfection which has
marked recent games at the Yankee
Stadium was missing yesterday when
Waite Hoyt had to have the help of
Fred Heimach to pull the Hugmen
through successfully. John Milius saved
Joe Shaute from bad situation in the
seventh, but himself succumbed in the
twelfth when two scratch singles, pass

Has Had Its Ups and Downs.
Atlanta has had its share of defeats
and its share Of successes. In all, it has
won six pennants. the first in 1907 and
the last in 1925.
One of its greatest periods of pros
perity came under the leadership of
Billy Smith, who had been a big sue
cess in Macon. winning two pennants
there and then coming to Atlanta.
where he won two more pennants, in
Guiding the first in 1907.
In the last seven or eight years At
lanta has been somewhat IN the dol
drums, so far as playing is concerned.
and last year finished in, the second
divis&n.
In attendance. Atlanta usually has
led the league on the opening day and
ranks with the best-paying team in the
league. All that has been needed is
decent standing in the list of games
won.
This year Atlanta has gotten away to
a tough break again. Many of her best
players have failed to deliver and nu-
nerous changes in the lineup have
been neceSsitated. Today Atlanta is In
seventh place, approximately 200 points
behind the leader. Birmingham.
