/ his verbal tilt with Umpire Campbeu
was not to be known until some time
today. Campbell said after yesterdays
game he would Immediately wire to
american League headquarters here
report of the incident, but any Suspen-
sion, of course, would not occur until
President Barnard had revived the
matter.
Thus far this season not National
| has drawn a suspension for unbecoming
conduct on the ball field, although sew
eral at different times have been ban
ished for arguments with the game ON
| Gals. The league, 1t seems, Is not
dealing very harshly with insubordtnates
this year, but 1t is apt to bear down AT
any time, and Myer may be unfortunate
enough to feel its heavy hand.
After extending a winning streak to
| five games, their longest Of the season,
mainly at the expense of the Browns,
the Nationals yesterday had nothing to
show in a pitching way and took q Ia
| to-2 beating from Dan Howley's outfit.
! They already had copied the series
| though and left st. Louis last night
with three of the four Tits with the
Mound City club tucked away.
In the final with the Browns the Ma
Ogden freely, getting IL safeties, but
the Browns whacked the Nationals
hurlers more freely, collecting a score
of safeties off Irving Hadley, Lloyd
Brown and Don Savidge. The only
member of the st. Louis lineup who
| failed to sock a safety was the usually
hard-hitting Heinie Manush.
Griffs First to Score.
The Nationals staked themselves to
tally in the first inning with q triple
by Judge and single by Goslin, but
the Browns proceeded to salt the game
in the second inning when they amaSsed
five runs. Then Hadley, who had man
aged to get away with the first inning in
which he walked the first two batters
to face him, had nothing with which to
battle the foe.
A double, two singles, a walk and an
other single were yielded by him In the
order mentioned and when he turned
the game over. to Brown the home side
had three runs across, two runners on
and none out.
Brown did not seem to know what to
do after picking up a bunt from Nc
Gowan, the first batter who faced him,
SO the tap went for base filling single
A double play in which a runner was
nlpped at the plate followed, but a
single that ensued chased over two
more tallieS.
Brown pitched four more rounds and
in each the Browns scored. They
gathered eight runs In these frames
with IL hits and two passes. The.
walks were mixed with four hits In
the fifth frame and one Of them forced
over a marker.
Savidge got by the seventh inning
in good manner, but in the eighth he
was nicked for three hits, issued q pass
and made wild pitch. All this, how
ever, netted the Howleymen but one
run. After the first inning the Ma
tons saw the plate again only In the
Judge and Rice after two were gone
netted tally.
O'Rourke and Ogden liked the WASH
ington brand of pitching immensely.
Blackie went up five times for as many
hits, including double and q triple,
while Jack walked the first time up,
then socked a double and three singles |
for perfect day.
Judge tried hard to get q perfect bat |
ting record for the day. After getting |
a triple, single and double in order
with his first three batting efforts he
backed MCGOWAN against the right field
stand wall for catch Of hard drive !
in the sixth frame. Then Joe turned
the first-basing job over to Harley Boss.
Both Hayes, who was on first base.
and Altrock, coaching at that station.
forgot there was only one out In the
sixth when Judge hoisted to MCGOWAN,
so the Browns made double play east
ly. Hayes, of as Judge met the ball,
was well on the way to third base when
MCGOWAN made his catch, and Melilli's
relay to Blue of the right fielder's heave |
retired the side.
Myer was not the only one banished |
by Umpire Campbell during the action. |
In the fourth inning Jimmy Austin, |
coaching at drst base, used some harsh |
language when he protested against q |
decision that retired Heine Manush, |
and Campbell hurried the veteran |
coach from the field so fast Jimmy left |
his cap in the coacher's box.
