GRIFFS’ HURLERS NEED LOTS OF RUNS TO WIN HILADELPHIA, May 3—When the Nationals have to contend with P teams presenting only fair or average pitching they can be counted on to deliver, for they pack punch enough to beat it, even though their own flingers produce only in the same measure. But when the article of box work offered by the opposition is of a high caliber they are doomed, for they boast of nothing in the way of hurlers to match it. This is what accounts for their loss of two straight games to the lowly Mackmen. g It was the answer Sunday when Bryan Harris had the Griffmen eat- ing out of his hand, with ,\h-;:uxlp totally outclassed, and it furnished the solution again yesterday. when old Scott Perry fairly stood them on their heads, while Erickson and Courtney strove in vain to stem the bludgeon wielders at the top of C.

To this end they have worked out a de- fensive scheme of play that proved effective yesterday.
