During the Saturday fitting here the
Goose again hurt the limb that was
Charleyhorsed in Washington some
time ago, although he did not regard
the injury serious until yesterday morn
ing, when he discovered he could not
walk without limp. He has pulled

COSLIN wasn't missed during the
" first part of the twin bill yester-
day that the Nationals won, IA to
I. Although his understudy, Dave
Harris, did no hitting, the other Ma
tionals in action did plenty. Had Cos
lin been in the second setto all the
way, however, his club, instead OF taking
a 3-to-2 beating. might well have lifted
itself to within a half game of the
league-leading Yankees.
Goslin has been in fine hitting
stride recently and there were several
times during the night-cap when a hit
would have overthrown the Browns. but
Harris toiling for the injured regular:
was even weaker at bat than he had
been in the initial encounter.
The Goose did hobble up to the plate
in the sixth inning to bat for the pitch
er. only to be called out on strikes. But,
in Justice to Goslin, it must be men
toned that the third strike called on
him was very questionable.
Harris not only had poor day Of
fensively, but was unfortunate enough
to let ground single bound by Tor an
error and thereby pave the way to the
Louis success.
Manager Cronin had picked the right
hand-swinging Harris over the left
1nand-swinging Sam Rice for service
against pair of right-hand hurlers the
Browns had on the hill because he
thought Dave, despite a noted weakness
in batting against pitchers OF orthodox
persuasion might get away with 1t In
the undersized st. Louis park. 1t turned
out to be poor guess by Cronin.
TN the initial tussle the Nationals
/ helped themselves to Is safeties. All
were made off George Blaeholder.
He was not withdrawn until after he
had been battered for nine runs in the
last two innings which let Dick Co1-
man, back in the game only day after
a suspension inflicted for breaking
training rules, pitch to the last batter
sent up by the Washington club.
The Nationals got IL hits in the sec
ond scrap. They also got four passes
off Bump Hadley. But Hadley hurled
nine strikeouts and always had one or
two tucked up his sleeve whenever the
Nationals threatened to make matters
hot for him.
Gen. Crowder went the route for the
Cronin crew in the opener to give up
six safeties. Al Thomas started the
second, and in five rounds was found
for six of the nine hits made by the
Browns. They got the others off Bill
McAfee. All the scoring was of
Thomas.
Five home runs colored the contests.
Myer and Bluege hit for the kcircuit
In the first affair, but in the second
TIE Browns got two homers to the Ma
tionals' one West hit the ball out Of
the park and after Myer got his second

hang up run the Nationals couldn't

"A 8 the first encounter turned out,
"A the Nationals got enough in the
opening inning for victory. After
Myer hit his homer Manush tripled
and crossed as the strolling Harris was
forced out. Blueges single, the first
of Sewells three doubles, and a one
baser by Manush were good for two
more markers in the second.
Both sides tailed in the sixth. Kuhel's
two-base blow and theft, and Sewells
long loft accounted for the Washington
score. Vests double and Burns single
between which there were two strike
outs saved the st. Louis outfit from a
shutout
In the last two rounds the Nationals
focked around the runway. In the
eighth Bluege'S home run followed
singles by Schultz and Kuhel Then
Sewell singled, Crowder sacrificed and
Myer hit for base TO send in fourth
run.
