M Strong support developed
/ Y today for William L.
Weeks proposal that base
ball interest be revived through a
series of interleague games in
midseason and assured the scheme
of thorough discussion before the
1884 season begins. There seemed
to be at least an outside chance
it would be tried next year.
Unqualified Endorsement Of the Chi
cago Cubs presidents plan was voiced
by Alva Bradley and Stephen W. Nc
Keever, presidents, respectively, of the
Cleveland Indians and Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. Other club owners almost unan-
imously agreed that some such radical
departure from the regular order OF
things was needed if base ball was to
climb out of the red"
I'VE need some such stimulant anc
I am in favor of it," McKeever said
while Bradley pointned out he actually
had advocated a definite plan fOl
interleague games.
-Four such games in a season fol
each team" he said, would give the
fans good idea Of comparative skill.

Cronin Burning Up Over Worst
Batting Slump of Season, but
Heinie Runs String to 29 Tits

BY a STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
~ ETROIT, August 23-Joe Cro-
min, in his worst batting
J slump of the year, is burning
up. The Washington manager
is swinging at everything chucked at
him these days and with vigor, too, but
nothing goes right for him.
Since the Nationals came West he
has made four hits And he has been
at bat 33 times in the eight games. The
only National other than the pitchers
and pinch -batters to go hitless yester-
day as batting averages were tattened
at the expense of Tiger hurting, Cronin
has not driven the ball to safety in his
last Is turns.
Heinie Manush keeps going,
though. The big Dutchman now
has batted safely in 29 consecu-
tive games. He helped himself
to a double and two singles yes

got a double, two singles and two walks.
One of the walks was intentional. Sor-
rell passing Kuhel to get at Bluege
after two were out in the sixth. Nut
Correll lost control to such an extent
he also passed Ossie, then Sewel sins
gled over a run.
Myer and Schultz enjoyed
themselves at bat, the former
smacking three doubles and the
latter t,Uo. Schultz seems to be
coming out of his batting slump

Ed Donovan. an aide to Postmaster
General Jim Farley, narrowly escaped
serious injury when Goslin, as he lined
out in the third inning, let go his bat.

When a fledgling with the Giants back
in those bounteous days of 1924, be-
fore the Eagle shrieked, and the de-
preston was something only discussed
by the members of the HObOeS' Union,
Terry paid us visit.
At that time Bill was breaking in
as a regular for the McGraw clan. II
was winging its way to its fourth con-
secutive National League championship
and young Mr.. Terry was cavorting
about first base much in the same fash

the New Yorks clinch its fourth N. L.
bunting and, as reward was Jammed

While the Nationals took four OF the
seven games played from the New York
club. It was no fault of young Bill
Terry's. The kid first sacker came to
bat in five games. He belted out six
hits, scored three runs and one OF his
smacks was homer.
Afeld Bill totaled 1000, while
his opponent, Joe Judge, then the
peerless initial sack man OF the
circuit, ,D1s hanging up fielding

That was Bills first and last world
series. But he will come here, if the
Giants and Senators win, to engage in
another. and will have the honor OF
being the only active Giant survivor
of that hectic series in which WASH
ington won its first flag.
Freddy LiEdstrom, now with the
Bucs; Travis jackson, nursing knee
injury: Hack Wilson of the Dodgers
and Frankie Frisch Of the Cards are
the only other old Giants around the
league who were in on the "a series.
Time and toll have conquered the re-

Both have spiced their teams with

ais are not in the least upset.
They feel they can take beating

Seven and a half up and only
38 games to play, they should

severely. With both the Tigers and
the Indians, who are to be played next,
fighting desperately for first-division
finish, the Cronin crew will run into
the best these outfits can put forth.
Yet the Nationals have plenty of conf

here today, the Washington club has
nine games to go to wind up this last
Western invasion of the season Bag

Tigers Toughest Foes,

measure of the Nationals in the
10-to-8 ball game here yester-
day has been the toughest proposition
the league leaders have had to deal
with this year. Detroit Is the only club
that has held Washington to an even
break thus far. That win in the series
opener was the seventh for the Tigers
over the Nationals. and the Cronin
crew has defeated the Harris horde no
more than that.
The game was an old-fashioned slug
fest, with the Nationals twice forging
ahead only to be overhauled at the
last moment. After their ninth bat
ting turn, when for the second time
they had clustered blows for three
runs, the Capital clubmen loomed al
most certain victors. But they could
not hold off a determined lot of
Tigers, particularly big Hank Green
berg who came up after two were out
in the last home turn to drag the tus-
sic out of the fire.
With two home runs, single and
q walk to his credit in four official
times at bat, Hank was directly re-
sponsible for eight of the Tigers runs:
He scored four of the tallies himself
and drove in four others.
Hank Strong at Finish.
LTHOUCH he batted at a terrific
n clip all through the game, Hank
- saved his most dramatic shot
until the ninth, when he broke up the
uartv in true dramatic fashion.
When the ninth began, the Tigers
were leading to 5, but in the Wash
ington half Victor Sorrell, the Tigers
starting hurler. faltered. Doubles by
Schultz and Kuhel got run. Then,
after two were out Harris. batting Tor
Russell, walked Here Carl F1scher,
former Nation4, relieved sorrell.
With the left-hand swinging Myer
coming up, Manager Harris wanted
southpaw on the slab. But Myer crossed
the Tiger pilot by getting to Fischer 1or
a double that was good for two more
Washington markers.
Endeavoring to protect the lead, Man
ager Cronin picked AL Crowder, then
the leagues leading pitcher, to hurl
the ninth. The general easily disposed
of Rogell, first up, but Fox and Ger
ringer followed with two-baggers and
the score was tied Cronin then yanked
Crowder and sent Al Thomas to the
hill. Walker, first to face Tommy,
struck out This brought up Greenberg.
Griff Hits Are Wasted.
I'm the sixth Greenberg had reached
Monte Weaver, Washington starter,
- for a homer with one aboard to
break a 2-to-2 deadlock. This time
Hank slammed one over the scoreboard
back of left-center and the game was
gone.
Of Sorrell and Fischer the Nationals
collected enough hits to have won two
ball games. ordinarily. They got l5
safeties totaling % bases. They also
got six passes. Seven of the blows were
two-baggers The Tigers got IA hits.
Seven were made in their last two
rounds. Weaver yielded seven in the
first six innings. Russell was pounded
for four when the Tigers put over three
scores in the eighth inning.
The Tigers, though, hit when hits
told. The Nationals did not have that
knack They left 13 runners stranded
on the paths.
