it is severely handicapped in r.
another effort to procure the All
being made. The Nationals need ;
Word from Spiller as to the
possibility Of getting the Southern
Associations consent to the trans
fer of the Atlanta franchise to
the Washington club was expect
ed by President Griffith some
time today.
John Martin, Southern Association
executive, said Thursday, more than q
week after the deal was supposedly
completed, except for the formal trans
fer Of title, that was to have occurred
Yesterday at Atlanta, that his league
had o rule forbidding the sale OF a
member franchise to any other club in
organized base ball unless the sale Is
sanctioned by q three-fourths vote OF
the league directorate. And Martin
added he did not believe the directorate
would sanction the transfer of the At
lanta franchise to the washington club.
Information Came Late.
This information was drawn from
Martin by Ed Eynon, Washington club
secretary, who was in Atlanta to clear
ND the details of the deal. 1t was this
information that ended negotiations at
the time. Now, according to Grihath,
1t is up to Spiller to clear the way to
the transfer by getting the Southern
Associations consent to the deal.
This may mean the start OF legal
battle between Spiller and the Wash
ington ball club, for Spiller has said he
considers the deal consummated. But
there's no battling to be done by the
can League, at least not during the re-
mainder Of the series with the White
Sox. Walter Johnson's charges assured
themselves Of this berth for two more
days, anyway. by scoring over Lena
Blackburne's Chicago crew In yester-
days contest In Grifnth Stadium.
Irving Hadley Is like the little girl
that had 4 little curl. When he's good
he's very, very good; but when he's
bad he's no pitcher at all. It so hap
pened that yesterday was one Of Had
ley's good days, and the Nationals licked
the White Sox, to /, for an even break
in the series to date.
The chunky Lynn chucker had every
thing needed to subdue the Blackburne
Just breeze for him. The heat began
to tell on him after that, however, and
he dragged . tribe in the eighth. But
he recovered sufficiently to get out OF
difficulty after putting two visitors on
the runway and was himself again In
the firlal frame.
Six widely scattered hits and four
passes were all the Chisox Cleaned on
HadIey. Two Of the passes and one OF
the hits were clustered after two were
out IN the third round, but this did the
aliens no good. They turned q pass
into a run in the fourth, though; for
watwood, who walked at the outset Of
the round, took third as Cissen singled
and scampered home as Kerr's grounder
brought about Cissells eraSure. The
White Scx had no good scoring chance
thereafter.
This run on Hadley did not bother
the Nationals, for they had combed
Grady Adkins for q brace of tallies In
round two, when they punched q triple
double, pass and two sacrifices; ana
they got to him again for two runs in
round five. Then, with two gone, singles
by Hadley and Myer and Kerr's tumble
West singled two across with q drive to
right.
McKain Stops Scoring.
After six innings Of toll Adkins gave
way to . pinch batter, and two hits
that raised their game total to seven
safeties, were all the Nationals could
get on Harold McKain In their last
two batting turns.
Rice played through the game with
q left leg very sore as q result Of an
injury suffered during batting practice
While Brown was swinging he let 60
Of his bat and It sailed across the turf
TO land against Rice's prop on the out
side just below the knee. Rice went
down and had to be assisted to the
clubhouse, but Trainer Martins treat
ment put the player in trim to enter
the contest.
GoSlin declares his right hip Sorer
than ever since running out his pinch
double that drove over the tying tally
In Thursdays game. He may be out
OF action several more days.
Hadley was as good at bat as on the
hill. He got two singles in three trials
at the plate, and they were solid socks,
too.
Hayes made o nashy stop of Pinch
Batter Taitt'S hot grounder in the ninth
and got his man. Jack had to run far
to his left to get Doug's skidder with
one hand.
Kerr made the only error Of the game
when, with q side-retiring force play in
sight in the fifth, he fumbled Rice s
grounder. This paved the way to two
runs before the inning ended.
