er permitting they will be
out battling the Yankees again
tomorrow and Sunday afternoons.
The current series means much
to the Nationals, as it affords
them an opportunity to SO en-
trench themselves in second place
that the Yankees, who are to be
met again next week in four
games, could not wreSt 1t from
them before the last Western in
vasion of the season gets under
way.
For the second set-to Of the series
tomorrow Manager Walter johnson has
nominated as starting pitcher the
venerable Sam Jones. The somber
squire of Woodsfield has been pitching
brilliantly for some time and this season
he has been particularly effective
against the Yankees. He has licked
the New Workers three times In as many
starts
Manager Bob Shawkey Is expected to
send a southpaw against the Nationals
in the second engagement here. He
has ready both Herb Pennock and Ed
Wells. Quite likely Pennock will be
Shawkey's choice. Both pitchers were
licked the last time they hurled against

ERED MARBERRY, after being out Of
u action nearly four weeks waiting
for broken wrist to mend, prob
ably will return to the pitching hill
when the Nationals tackle the Yankees
In the important four-game series in
New York next week. For the first
time since the cast was removed from
the ailing wrist, Marberry yesterday
went through long workout and de-
clared he would be ready to do real
pitching in apather day or two. How
ever. Manager Johnson does not want
TO hurry the big fellow back to the box,
but said he intends to use him in New
York.
It was in q game in New York on
August that Marberry broke his wrist
when sliding into third base. He
pitched for two innings after sustaining
the injury, then gave way to relief
hurler, but the washington victory was
credited to Fred.
DEBATING the Yankees is something
ID Of q habit with the Nationals this
season. That 6-to-3 win in the
series opener yesterday was the thir-
teenth for the Washington club In 10
starts against the New Workers in the
campaign. The victory boosted the Ma
tionais' advantage over the third-place
New York outfit to four and ons-half
games and left them Just six and one
half games behind the league-leading
AS. who were trounced by the Red Sox.
For a few rounds yesterday the game
was a tight duel between Al CroWoer
and George Pipgras, but PipgraS blew
ia the sixth after getting himself in
trouble through some poor fielding, and
the Nationals stepped out to tuck away
the tilt.
zach side collected nine ssfeties, the
IL Nationals getting theirs OF two OF
the three hurlers sent into action
by Manager Shawkey. Pipgras yielded
eight hits and after Ken Holloway
checked the Washington rampage in the
sixth session Lou McEvoy pitched TWO
innings and gave up one hit. Crowder
issued three passes, one intentionally,
and struck out six. Pipgras passed two
and McEvoy one, and the former was
credited with two strikeouts. The two
Washington errors did not hurt Crow
der. but the New York cause was seri-
cusly damaged by Pipgras' brace OF mis-
plays.
Ossie Bluege with two doubles and
q single was the big punch OF the
home attack. Three OF the Yanks
got two hits each and Babe Ruth
was not among the three. The big
boy got but one safety, q single the
last time UP, but once he drew
pass. He also famed the first time
he stepped to the plate.
A WASHINGTON run went over in
IA the first inning and after two
were out too. Manush Whacked
O single to center and Cronin fol-
lowed with a high one that landed
between Ruth and Cooke in right CEN
ter for double to tally Heinie.
The Yanks evened the count in the
NTH, also putting their run over after
two were out. Pipgras forced out Chap
man, who had singled, for the second
retirement then was moved around
the bases by successive singles from
the bats of Harry Rice and Lyn Larry
with one out in the sixth, the Yanks
again threatened. Lazzeri got hit
with a topper In front Of the plate and
continued to second when Crowder
threw wildly past first base. But after
tanning Cooke the Washington mounds
man deliberately walked Dtckey TO
get at Chapman. And Chapman
tanned.
Then the Nationals bagged the fray.
Sam Rice opened the home sixth with
n single and Manush put down a
sacrificial bunt. Pipgras kicked the
ball about and Heinie got to first safely.
Cronin followed with nifty bunt down
the third base line good for single.
This time Pipgras managed to pick
up the ball, but he chucked past Gehrig.
letting Rice and Manush tally and
Cronirl reach third Judge walked and
moved to the far corner as Vests
single scored Cronin. Bluege's double
chased over two more markers and
Pipgras from the hill.
THAT was enough for the Nationals,
but the Yanks kicked In with two more
scores in the eighth Ruth walked and
pulIed up at third when Gehrig
doubled. Lazzeri's single scored both
runners and Tony made second az
