his wrist in pain, but after prelim-

in his right wrist to be fractured.
Bill Werber seems to look better

former local scholastic star made an
error that was turned into a run
in the first game, but stole the show
in spite of it. He hit a homer in

sparkling catches Of foul flies in the
seventh and eighth innings. Appar-

~ N THE WAY TO ST. LOUIS,
September 4.-Jack Russell,
Y reformed relief hurler, who
seems to have blossomed out
as the Nationals right-hand mound
ace, will be first to face the Browns
in the four-game series opening In
the Mound City tomorrow.
Jack has won two Of his last three
starts and, had his mates done any
hitting at all, might well have won
the other-a tilt dropped to the
Yankees last week in Gotham. He
gave 'em just six hits.
That collision yesterday which cost
the Nationals the shortstopping serv-
ices of Manager Joe Cronin for the
remainder of the season was in no
way the fault of Joe. Had Yves Fer
rell been more alert in covering first
base the accident might have been
averted.
Cronin topped slow roller in the
eighth frame of the opener to Ed
Morgan at first base, who took the
ball far to his right. Ferren seemed
more intent on watching Morgan
than running over to first base and,
when he finally did, he planted him
self squarely on the base.

day drew from 20 to 40 per-
formers. George p. Green
halgh, the Cleveland owner, whose
stalwarts have been widely successful
this season, won the ladies' hunter
class with Brown Brufn.
Perhaps the most bitterly fought
trial OF the day was the last, In which
Ray Shoemaker's Ganadora and the
Mosby's Rose Gold covered no less
than 40 jumps without breaking their
tie. The issue finally was settled by q
tossed coin and Rose Gold won.
The best early showing of the Diff

owner rode faultlessly In the first
round and guided to a second perfect
score up to the point where the mare
refused the triple bar and tossed him
to the ground. His entry was placed

Miss Patterson's Duhaller Lass
