Detroit Held to Five Hits,
While Mats Get II for
-Four Big Frames.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

did much free and fancy
swinging yesterday at Griffith
Stadium to sweep the three-game
series with the Tigers. They hit
almost everything the l;tcher
lately transferred from the
Yankees to the Detroit club
chucked up to the plate, and won
by the handsome score of IL to 3.
The Nationals now have won
eight in a row for the second time
this season. With their latest
victory they kept pace with the
league-leading Athletics, just a
game ahead, but their advantage
over the third-pface Yankees was
reduced to a game as the New
Workers took a double-header.
The Nationals larruped Hoyt for II
safeties and clustered them in four
frames with telling effect. Of to
three-run lead, they picked up three
more runs in the third, one tally in the
fourth and wound up their walloping of
the big blonde with an eighth-inning
with seven successive Safeties. Hoyt is
sued four passes, and hit batter, which
had nothing to do with the scoring, but
wild pitch he made did.
Hadley Battles Tigers.
In sharp contrast to Hoyt's hurting
was that put forth by Irving Hadley
The Washington slabman was not so
steady in the first frame, being nicked
for single and giving up walk, and
he yielded another pass in the second
inning. After that he was invincible
until the sixth, when another walk and
the second hit of him netted the Tigers
their first run. Bump evidently de-
cided he could coast home by the time
the ninth was at hand so the Tigers
got three more hits to make their game
total five and two more markers. A
fine piece of pitching Bump did.
1t seems almost an impossibility to
keep the Nationals away from the
plate in the first inning these days.
This time they knocked over three
runs in the opening round. Myer be-
gan the offensive with single and
after West lofted out Buddy stole sec
ond Manush's retirement moved
Myer to third and when Cronin
whacked two-bagger against the open
stand back of left field the scoring
began.
Cronin's hit almost meant two runs,
for the ball barely missed going into
the stand for homer. Harris double
against the same stand followed to
put over the second marker, then Judge
started his own celebrating of Judge
day by slamming a triple that put
across the third marker.
Hoyt lost control in the second in
ming and with two out filled the bases
by issuing two passes. This netted the
Senators nothing, though, for Cronin,
after going to a hree-and-two count
with Waite, grounded to koenig: 1t
was different in the third. Then there
M hits
and three more runs resulted.
Harris Starts Rally.
Harris opened the attack with his
second two-bagger and pulled into
third when Judge got single with a
bunt toward McManus. Bluege wal
loped a double to send Harris over the
big base and Ruel crashed a triple to
deepest right-center to score Capt. Joe
and Ossie.
Another run for the Nationals in
the fourth. 1t was Manush who started
the making of this one. He smacked
the ball to right for what seemed
nothing more than a single, but 1t
bounded over Stones head and rolled
to the fence for three-baser. Along
came Cronin with a single to tally
Manush. Then Hoyt proceeded to do
something he had been unable to do

succession.
While the Nationals were doing so
much scoring the Tigers were walking
up to the plate and walking back to
the bench mostly. johnson opened
their first round with a single and got
as far as second before Alexander
walked with two out. Stones best,
however, was a bounder to the pitcher.
Desautels managed to draw pass after
to- 11n
Myer made a flashy stop and tagged
Hoyt. Then for three innings the Tigers
were set back in order by Hadley with
ease. He had them eating out of his
hand in the fourth, tanning Alexander
and throwing third strikes by Stone
and Koenig.
The Tigers crashed the run column
finally in the sixth and it was pass
to Gehringer, coming after one was
out, that paved the way to the marker.
McManus backed the walk with a
drive that landed but little below the
top of the wall of the open stand back
of center. The ball reboupded above
Vests head for double that counted
Gehringer. Hadley then braced and
while Cronin after a brilliant stop in
deep short heaved out Stone.
Deluge Of Hits.
Held at bay by Hoyt for time, the
Nationals made the eighth their biggest
scoring session. After Hadley rolled out
they nicked Hoyt for seven successive
hits. Myer launched the attack by
dragging bunt by the pitcher. West
singled and so did Manush, Cronin,
Harris and Judge. To vary this trifle,
Bluege hooked one of Hoyt's slow ones
to left for a double. All this Melted
five runs. Then Spencer and Hadley
were stopped.
with the game so well in hand, Had
ley took it easy in the ninth and the
Tigers kicked In with two more tallies.
McNanus doubled and so did Alexander.
After Stone fouled out Alexander
romped to third unbothered by the
Nationals. Then Koenig walked. Funk
singled Alexander home, but all was
over when Fothergill, who grabbed
Desautels' bat, drilled into a double
play.
Judge certainly did his part to make
his day big in every way. He made
three hits, one triple, drove two runs
across, scored one and flelded bril-
1iantly.
Above all things, Sam Rice had TO
miss Judge day, and Sam Joe's ''roomie"
on the road ever since the flrst base
man came up to the Nationals in 1915.
But q stomach attack laid Rice low
Friday night and he was ordered by
his physician to remain in bed yester-
day. Sam may return to the lineup
today.
Everybody on the Griff side excepting
Spencer and Hadley hit safely. Spencer
went into the game in the fifth inning
after a foul ball bruised one OF Muddy
Ruel's fingers and forced the little
catcher to retire.
