chance to lose. Arch has not been
fortunate enough to pick up win in
the relief role.
Irving Hadley's feeble finging more
than anything else has blasted the hope
for success the Nationals based on the
fine showing made by the hurlers in
the South. The chunky Lynn chucker,
who has yet to register a win, took his
seventh licking OF the season yesterday
when the Yankees grabbed the opener
of four-game series, II to 7. All the
scoring was not at Hadley's expense.
Paul Hopkins and Brown were pun
ished by the New Workers before Burke
pitched a hitless and scoreless ninth
inning. But it was Hadley who per-
mitted the YapkS to start on their
winning way,
1t was typical Hadley performance.
After pitching in flashy style for four
innings the Lynn boy collapsed in the
fifth and before Hopkins, who was
rushed to Bumps relief, could get the
side out the Yanks had swept aside the
three-run lead the Nationals had
cleaned off the left-handed Ed Wells
and gone ahead to stay.
Two singles were all the Yanks got
off HadleY in the first four rounds, but
they more than made up for the early
lack of hitting in the fifth. Then the
first two batterS singled and a misplay
by Joe Cronin filled the sacks. Bump
went blooie. Wells singled run over
and Koenig's one-baser accounted for
two more tallies that deadlocked the
game. Then Hadley walked Combs to
fill the bases once more and turned the
pitching job over to Hopkins.
Just Yankee Parade.
The new hurler passed Gehrig, fore
ing over the plate one of the runners
Hadley had left on, and a single by
Ruth followed, to drive home the two
others. Gehrig was nipped at the
counting block when Gooch checked
Lazzeri's grounder and heaved to Ruel,
while MeuSel up for the second time
in the round, lofted to West But Dickey
got his second single Of the inning to
score Ruth with seventh New York
run.
The Nationals, who had picked up
tally in the first session with brace of
infield hits and an error by the Yankee
catcher, then added two in the fourth
inning with a pair of passes. double
by Bluege and some smart base run
ming, came back in the latter part of
the fifth for fourth marker. A pass
to Stewart Myers single and Rice's
sacrifice fly turned the trick. After
that the Nationals stood by while the
Yankees sewed up the game.
A single. triple, double and single
with only one out occurring during the
barrage accounted for three runs off
Brown in the sixth round. In the
seventh pass, a triple and single of
the same pitcher Noted the Yankees
two more tallies, their last block of
scores in the fray.

In the fourth inning, the Nationals
got run in an odd way. With Bluege
on third and Ruel on first a double
theft was attempted. Wells stepped
from the slab and threw to get Muddy,
but the side-retiring out was not made
before OsSie crossed the plate.
Manager johnson used 16 players in
an effort to stop the Yankees. An extra
second baseman. extra catcher, three
extra pitchers and two pinch-batters
were employed.
In the sixth inning, Bluege slipped
as he ran back on the grass to take a
throw from West and again hurt the
left knee that was injured severely
enough to put him out of action not
long ago. He had to turn his Job over
