and gave way to the left-handed Wells.
who once wore washington uniform.
Wells took sound humping, but was
kept in action through the eighth in
ming. Then Rhodes pitched round.
Four Washington runs were register
ed in the second session, three OF four
hits and two passes then cleaned fgur-
ing in the tally-making. Tate's two
Dagger paved the way to the FIRST
marker and later Goose Goslin stepped
to the plate when there were two mates
ON the runway. He parked the ball
high in the right field bleachers for
his sixth homer of the season.
Another Four-Run Attack.
There was another four-run block in
the sixth, four hits doing the work be-
fore a batter was retired. This time
Goslin drove one of the tallies over
with double and Joe Judge accounted
for the three others by driving honle
run into the right-fleld stand. Three
hits netted two runs in the ninth, Fred
Marberry driving over the scores with
a double bounced of the left-fleld
stand wall.
Jones and Marberry shared the
Washington pitching burden. The Yank5
got to Sam for a run in the second
round and reached him for two hits
after one was out before a muscle
wrench forced his retirement.
OF Marberry the Yanks got three
hits to raise their total for the game
to 10. Two punched in the seventh &C
counted for the second and last run.
The second game was mound scrap
between Braxton and Waite Hoyt, with
the latter escaping worse licking only
through spectacular support. The Ma
tionals hit him much harder than their
IL hits might seem to indicate: the
Yanks were held to seven safeties BY
Braxton.
one hit only was needed to give the
Yarlks a lead at the outset. Comb

field retirements of Koenig and Ruth
Then Braxton checked the Yankees in
fine style, while the Nationals kept
plugging away at Hoyt. Finally in the
sixth they crashed into the r1ln column.
Goslin's single, Judges sacrifice fly.
Vests double and Blueges single netted
two markers.
This advantage was erased by Tho
Yanks in the eighth, but only because
Cronin booted a grounder after two
were out. Ruth opened this frame Tor
the home club by bounding triple of

drive that on the rebound sped like

grab the sphere, and continued to keep

Gehrig only fouled to Myer, while
Meusel lifted to Rice in such short right
that Ruth had no chance to try for
home after the catch. Then Lager

Cronin Makes Amends.
Cronin made amends for his n1ispla;

How serious is Jones' injury will no
be known until a thorough examination
of it Is made by a surgeon here today.
Jones hurt himself when he made his
second pitch to Koenig in the fifth in
ming of the first game yesterday. He
then complained of twinge in his left
side, but tried to continue pitching
After Koenig singled Jones was re-
placed by Marberry. Trainer Martin
strapped Jones left side below the ribs
but the pitcher complained
of feeling much pain this morning and
was scarcely able to raise either arm.
Sammy West had a great time in CEN
ter field in the double-header. He
ranged all over the pasture, making
seven putouts in the first game ana
four In the second. In the nightcap
he made a whale of a catch to retire
Combs in the fifth inning, going behind
Rice for a shoe-top grab of the drive
that came to him between the right
fielders props.
Neither Ruth nor Gehrig waxed fat
It the expense of the Washington pitch
ing. The Babe had eight times at bat
in the two games and got nothing more
than his triple in his final effort in the
nightcap. Gehrig singled the first time
he batted in the opening encounter,
then in seven more trips to the plate
during the afternoon got nothing more
than three walks.
