Mats Full of Fight.

"HEY surely revealed this yester-
day as they swept to 7-to-6
win over the Athletics in the
wind-up of a series. Most of the time
their pitching was spotty, but the
gang fought back after the AS had a
5-to-0 lead to get a tie, then came
through with fine ninth-inning fin
ish to beat out Jimmy Foxx and COM
pany.
1t took five Washington pitchers to
make the grade. Al Crowder, start
ing for the first time this season, got
only into the third inning. Then
Foxxs fourth home run of the cam
paign rocked AL from the peak. Along
came Bob Burke to fling four sterling
innings then give way to pinch
batter. Ray Prim followed to left
hand his way to seeming defeat in
the seventh, but before the inning
ended Jack Russell was on the hill.
Russell carried on through the
eighth then Al Thomas was rushed to
the slab for the ninth and as the
affair ended he had to make only five
pitches to get credit for the victory.
The AS had three on the slab. john
ny Marcum started, but he was blasted
out of the game in the third when the
Washington club did its first scoring.
Harry Matuzak got out in the sixth
when the Nationals batted their way
to a tie. Then Bill Dietrich was
rushed in to take the beating in the
ninth.

AS Get Swell Lead.

TIME Nationals outbatted the AS,
10 hits to 7. But Foxx's homer
driven high into the sun parlor
back of left field in the third looked
good enough for the ball game.
The AS had nicked Crowder for
run in the first, Finney getting pass,
then moving to third on Foxx's single
and counting in a dual theft with
Jimmy. Singles by Higgins and Nc
Nair, sacrifice by Hayes and Mar
Gums long fly had put another tally
over in the second. Finney singled
to begin the third, Coleman walked
and Foxx cracked his homer to give
the AS a sound lead and force Burke
to relieve CroWder.
Then the Nationals got going.
Burke started their third turn with a
one-baser. Kuhel walked and Myer
singled. The hit sent Burke home
and when Marcum missed the return
from the left fielder Kuhel made
third. Another single by Manush
brought over another run and
Matuzak to Marcum's relief.
1t was single by Kuhel, a pass to
Myer, a force play and Cronin's long

Nationals went trailing again
in the seventh when pass to Cole

double bouncing off Jimmy Foxx's
bat. It was here that Russell got into
the game.
Jack gave way to Pinch Batter Har-
ris in the eighth after an error by
johnson had put Berg on with two
out. Bluege went in to run for Berg,
but it did no good for Harris drilled
into a force play.

r Up IN the first division
where they really belong,
the Nationals today are
running into their most
trying series of this infant sea-
son. They are listed to tackle
the Yankees in three successive
engagements, but seemingly well
equipped for the test.
Having reeled off three sue
ceSSive victories, the champs
look on the up-and-up and they

the southpaw slabmen of the circuit,

the first encounter of the year with

art will get the call, according to
Manager Cronin.
Whitehill announces he is ready to
get back to the ball game. He de-
tlares he has had all the pains baked
out of his back and is prepared to
give a better account of himself than
De did week ago last Saturday, when
he took a beating in Philadelphia.
Stewart says he is in trim to do more
than he did in the rain delayed
opener here last Tuesday.
If these hurlers are right, the Ma
tionals are more than likely to give
the Yanks a stubborn battle. In their
last three home engagements, Clark
Grifith's hireling's have demonstrat-
ed in no uncertain manner they can
carry on to victory regardless of the
class of pitching they get.
