- There are rumors here

claim to be IN the know say this
is indicated by the lack of hop
In hits these days.
II so, the Nationals do not ap-
pear TO be using the newly dead
ened ball. But their opponents
must have something of the kind.
There has been little served by
WashinRton's pitchers since they
came back from the West that wasn't
knocked high and handsome. Yet
there has been little heat to the
Nationals hitting In the last four
trays.
II the nagnates finally decided they
had overplayed the Land Of the swat

slow down the base balls a trifie.
nothing had been heard of it by the
purchasing agent Of the Washington

IA S THEY opened three-game Sc
IN ries with the Athletics here. the
Nationals must have been
chucking the jack-rabbit sphere they
had used before. Ten hits ratified
of the Athletics bats. Seventeen
bases were made from the hits. And
the holdoyer champions took an s-to-
2 beating.
But the Nationals found the pei
lets pitched their way by the AS por-
poise-like.' Six safeties spread over
five sessions we're all they could mus
ter.
It was Alec McCon who started on
the hill for the Nationals and took
the beating A lot Of fiashy fielding
kept McCon out of trouble up to
the sixth inning. Then he taltered
and finally q home run driven over
the right-field wall by Ed Coleman
with two board put the Nationals out
out of the ball game.
AL Crowder finished for the ground
down champs and was a scoring
pitcher for the AS in each of his two
rounds. In the seventh the Gen.
yielded two singles and pass to fill
the bases with one out Looked as
though he might get away with it
when he threw third strike by the
mighty James Double x Fox. but
Pinky Higgins upset all calculations.
Cronin Takes Count.
"%HIS lad swings wicked right.
Il and his smash to the short
field bounced squarely against
Joe Cronin's button. Joe reeled and
sank, the ball went to left for a
double and two runs crossed. This
so unpoised the Gen. he wildpitched
another over.
After short count Cronin stag
gered to his feet, turned over the
shortStopping task to Ossie Bluege
and hied TO the clubhouse for repairs.
The Gen. continued to stagger on
the field and with two hits the AS
cot another run In the eighth.
The Nationals opened against John
Marcum as though they would quickly
brush aside this right handler. Fred
Schulte's double and Red Kress'
single got them run in the second.
Buddy Myers walk and Cronin's two
bagger added another in the third.
Only three more hits after that,
however, one in each of the last three
innings. Nothing jack rabbitty about
