The second game had its homer
too. Joe Judge in the third inning
SlaShed one to almost the same
place Myer had made his drive
This matched the run the YankS
had put across shortly before and
thereafter the Nationals steadily
forged ahead.
Sam Jones and Fred Marberry die
the flinging for the home side and die
1t well, too. Jones was nicked for 1C
safeties in the initial fray, but outside
of the third and fourth frames, when
the YankS clustered six of their hits
he was quite effective. Marberry, ir
registering his eighteenth victory of the
year, allowed only seven hits spread
over four innings.
Beat Sherid and Rhodes.
The Nationals bumped Roy Sherid
and Dusty Rhodes, right-handers both
for the wins; They slammed Sherid
for only five hits in the first tilt, but
they got them all in the fifth frame
when they forced him to give way to
the left-handed Fred Heimach. The
southpaw yielded three safeties. Rhodes
pitched the first seven rounds of the
second scrap and gave up 10 hits. Bots
Nekola, left-hander, was nicked for a
lone safety in the eighth.
Myer headed the Washington at
tack, accounting for three runs with his
homer in the first fray and driving over
two more markers in addition to Scor-
ing one with his two singles and a
double in the second. Babe Ruth and
Lou Gehrig were the big noises of the
Yankee offensive. Ruth got three hits
in the opening battle and drove over
half his clubs runs. With his lone hit
in the second set-to, Gehrig sent two
mates to the plate.
There was much fashy fielding by
both sides. Myer and Cronin of the
home side, though, were the defensive
stars. In the first game, Cronin had
slipped. He made nine assists and
four put-outs In the opening round
of the second game, Myer made the
f1ashiest play of the bill when he ran
far into center field for an over-shoulder
catch with one hand of Gehrig's
topper.

In the first encounter the Yanks vast

right-field line. Ruth singled Combs
home, but Larry, who tried to follow
Earl across the plate, was tagged. Gehrig

The Nationals matched this run in

Durocher grabbed Judges bounder and

ment in the fourth frame, and with
Durocher's single and a pass to Sherid
the visitors crowded the sacks. Combs
then whacked a one-baser that sent
Dickey and Durocher over the final

This New York advantage was swept

hits and as many runs and drove him
from the slab. Cronin opened the in
