BY MANUSH DECIDE

in League-Hits in 22d
Consecutive Game.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

II i w do Ndlluoll Aoy oo 0AA
Stadium yesterday, an i'm
promptu affair with the cele-
brating done by none other
than Heinie himself.
Extending to % the string OF
games in which he has hit safely,
the big boy crashed two triples
and as many doubles and was
personally mixed up in the scoring
of five of the runs made by the
Nationals as they nosed out the
Athletics, to 5.
Manush had nothing to do with the
first washington run registered, but he
did plenty thereafter and was a most
important factor in the rouslng rally IN
the ninth inning that got his clLo an
even break with the AS in the two
game series.
1t was in this round that Heinie wal
loped his second three-bagger of the
frav to drive over the tying tally and
p,lt himself in a most advantageous po-
sition to tote home the big score of the
battle.
Becomes Second in A. l..
Three of the Nationals runs were
personally conducted to the counting
block and two rode home on slams oy
Heinie as he collected his four hits In
five times at bat to become second
among the hitters OF the American
League.
In that nifty ninth, the Nationals
walked as well as hit their way to
victory Unable to SOCK George Earn
shaw safely for four innings after the
fourth Johnson's charges entered their
last batting turn run to the bad and
with few of the faithful in the stands
expecting victory for the home side.
A pass to Sam Rice at the outset OF
the inning. though, aroused hope.
Buddy Myer sacrificed, and up came
Manush Earnshaw had stopped Heinie
in his previous batting turn, and after
the big fellow had swung for trio OF
extra a-base blows too. But this time
Manush again was ready. He slashed
a hit to the right-field corner, scoring
Rice and got to third just ahead OF a
throw Bishop had relayed from Haas,
who had had much trouble retrieving
the sphere caromlng off the grandstand
and right-ield walls.
Comics Strategy Fails.
Here the willy Connie Mack, hoping
against hope to keep the AS in the
game, flashed from the bench orders
to pass Joe Cronin and ice Kuhel to
fill the bases and thereby afford fine
opportunity for a side-retiring double
play. On to the runway ambled the
pair of Joes
But Macks strategy was all wasted.
Sammy West swung at the first pltcl-
sent him by Earnshaw, lofted a dinkJ
handle hit to short center, and the ball
game was over. Manush had made the
plate before an opposing player reached
the ball.
Earnshaw did all the hurting for the
AS, and after rocky start was good
until the ninth The Nationals got to
him for a three-run lead right off the
reel when they clustered five of the
IL hits cleaned off the dig right handler.
However, Dick Coffman, trying 10 ring
up a win after ab5orb bing five defeats in
a row since becoming member OF the
johnson band. couldn't stand prosper
lily and before the sixth inning ended
seemingly was on the way to another
licking
Brown Hurts Thumb.
Only six hits were made off Coffman,
but he was generous with passes and
two of the five passes he issued were
turned into runs. Dick let the AS tie
in the fourth and after his side had
regained the lead he permitted the in
vaders go ahead in the sixth. That
caused Lloyd Brown to be rushed to
the hill. The left-hander was nicked
for two hits, the last made by Dykes
in the eighth while on its way to CEN
ter. nipplng Lioyds thumb. The in
Jury SO numbed the digit that Brown
could not control the ball, SO he imme
diatelf gave way to Fred Marberry.
Fred was reached for a single right
away, Earnshaw rapping it to send
Dykes to third but f1ashy double play
got Fred out of difficulty. Bishop lofted
one of those teasers to short center
that loked good for a hit when it left
the bat. But West came in with
rush for a spectacular catch and heaved
for the plate. The throw was short
and Berg had to go two or three yards
in front of the home base to get the
ball. However, the catcher managed to
fling himself backward for a whisker

Weaver Gets Credit.
With Marberry eliminated by a
pinch batter in the eighth, Monte
Weaver came on to set down the AS
