Myer finished the round by jumping
high to haul down with his gloved hand

There was double kick for the crowd

Schultz cracked his double to send Cro-

Kuhel's Play Spectacular.

VYIHILE an error was charged
w against the Nationals in each
of the games-Ossie Bluege at
third base made one in the first and
Cronin at short was guilty of one in
the second-the misplays were of no
great help to the Indians.
Generally, the Washington fielding
was Of high order and in the latter
half of the twin bill it often was moth
ing short of sensational. Outstanding
of the home side fielders was Joe Kuhel
at first base. His catches Of high and
wide throws were frequently spectacular
and several times they prevented the
recording of misplays against the
throwers.
In the opening encounter of the bar
gain bill the first hit of Ferrel meant
q score for the Nationals. It was
triple rammed down the left field line
by Schultz after one was out in the
second inning, and Fred coasted home
as the Tribe hurler uncorked a wild
pitch.
The fifth frame saw the home side
dent the counting block twice. Four
successive hits turned the trick. After
Kuhel was retired, Bluege singled and
50 did Sewell A one-baser by Crow
der sent Ossie over the plate and
double by Myer chased home Luke.
Indians Tighten Game.
MYTH two out of the way in the
/" sixth session, the Indians got
around the runway on triple
bF Kamm and Hale's line single. Then
the visitors got an unearned run in the
seventh to make the game tight. Cis-
Sci doubled and there were two on
when Bluege messed up Ferrells
bounder Cissell had to stick at second
base while the error was being made, SO
Galatzer sacrificed. Porter swiped
fy to Manush and the run crossed.
This made the score too close for
their comfort, so the Nationals stepped
out in their seventh batting turn to
settle the affair by crossing three times.
Myer made second when his pop to
short right was muffed by Hale, and
moved up as Manush rolled out. Cos
lin singled Buddy over, and Cronin's
single and Schulte's three-bagger got
the Goose home with the final run OF
the fray.
Hildebrand took his punishment early
In the second setto, the Cronin crew
chalking up four markers in the third
inning Myer beat out a slow one to
the second baseman and checked IN
at third when Manush hit for base.
Galatzer fumbled the single to let
Heinie reach second. Goslin's deep fly
to the right fielder enabled Myer to
score and Manush to get to third base;
then Cronin singled in run.
Here Hildy chucked wild one and
Pytlak had so much difficulty locating
the ball that Cronin was able to race
to third, from where he romped home
as Schultz doubled.

lVl a thrilling sprint climax to

Yale, Washington's long-sweeping
oarsmen won the national inter-
collegiate rowing championship
before $4,000 persons here to0ay
over this Olympic dedicated 1000

The finish brought the crowd to

Huskies, pulling smoothly at a
SO beat, slowly put distance be-
tween themselves and the valiant
sons of Eli. They crossed the line
6 feet in front.
Yale, already moving along at top

place, length and a half behind Yale.
with Harvard last, two lengths in the
wake Of the inspired Ithacans.
Washington's time of minutes 3845
seconds was 1925 seconds short Of
Italy's course record, due largely to
the sharp wind which whipped the
usually placid lagoon from the south
west, diagonally across the homebound
shells.
