SPORTS. MUFF CHANCE TO CLIMB IN RACE, WHEN SOX WIN Mogridge Has No Luck in Contest With Faber. Eddie Mulligan’s Bat Factor in 8-3 Victory Ovr Griffmen, BY DENMAN THOMPSON. HE Nationals can't stand prosperity. After winning four straight games and having only to carry on to advance a notch in the stand- ing of the teams, they fizzled against the White Sox yesterday and dropped the second tilt of the set, 8 to 3. With the Gleasonites remaining for three additional contests, Washington's chances for attaining third lace depend largely upon the pitching prowess exhibited by Zachary, f.ylmmn and Courtney. who probably will start in that order, provided, of course, the Mackmen are able to repeat the dose administered to the gers vesterday, when they, along with all the other second division ftfits, gained at the expense of the four leading teams. With Faber iminated from further consideration during the present series, the Gritimen's prospects for climbing are brightened, although, like Courtney, Kerr may be sent back in the final battle Monday.

Against Mogridge the Sox started in Just the opposite manner, although Johnson did scratch a safety through the box at the outset. yet one blow netted them two runs in the third. With one out, Yaryan walked and was forced by Johnson. Mulligan then stung a safety down the left ficld which caromed off the concrete railing of the pavilion past Miller, allowing Mulligan to complete the circuit behind Johnson. Collins fol- lowed with a one-base knock, but .H'xnopur whiffed on three pitched alls. Faber apparently had settled into his customary machinelike gait when With two out in the third Rice waiked and stole. Then Urban was spanked right heartily, four successive safeties netting the Griffmen a one-run lead. Brower's smack to right center scored Rice. Miller got a life on his swing- ing bunt. Brower romped in on Shanks' double to left and Miller counted when Gharrity crashed a hot bae through Mulligan. Mogridge Slips a Cog. After holding the Sox at arm’s- length for a couple of rounds Mog- rigge slipped a cog in the sixth, when the Hose again jumped into the van. ‘Two gone, Falk shot a single to cen- ter, Mostil doubled over the far cor- ner and the pair of them tallied on Sheely's little looper just over O Rourke’s head. Following the third, Faber, although somewhat unsteady. permitted no more liberti vith his stuff until the eighth. Then Gharrity led off with a single to center, moved up a notich on U'Rourke’s sacrifice and took third as Milan, batting for Mogridge, nar- rowly failed in his effort to beat out a bunt. He was left when Judge rolied to Sheely. _Harris, Rice and Brower were re- tired in order in the final, when the visitors picked up four wholly un- mecessary counters off Erickson. ©Olaf walked Pinch Hitter Strunk. fanned Sheely and winged Yaryan Then. after Faber popped to O'Rourk Johnson singled and scored on Mul- ligan's triple, the latter also counting when Harris fumbled Brower's peg. Collins got a safety and Hooper walk- ed before Falk fanned to end it. —_——————aa——— CAUGHT ON THE FLY | An unusual feature of the pastime yesterday was the fact that the scor- ing of runs in all four instances was accomplished after two-thirds of the side had been retired. It was two out or no count. iEddie Mulligan, almost unaided, did enough damage with his bat to ruin L the Griffmen. In addition to person- ally escorting a pair of runs to the .plite he drove in five with a homer and triple. Shanks made a fine stab of Mulli- gan's hot smash in the fifth to force Faber at the midway. A ,leaping lurch by Judge deprived Hupper of a bingle in the sixth. The Lall, hit with the speed of a bullet, stuck in Joe's extended glove. Johnson had a tough time gauging Rice's Texas leaguer in the fourth. but managed to snare it by emulating a coptortionist. Mogridge stole a base after draw- fug a walk in the fourth. Yaryan's bum chuck permitted him to reach third. and Judge also walked, but, aft- er, Harris popped. Johnson' cleverly handled Rice's short fly to left and Faber tossed out Brower after knock- ing down his liner. _Although Everett Yaryan is a prom- ising backstop, the former Western League slugger falls far short of the caliber of Ray Schalk.

Red Sox, Athletics and Browns earned brackets yosterday in the American League championship race. The first named club nosed out the league-leading Indians, while the Macks slaughtered the Tigers and the Fohl clan finished ahead of the Yankees. . The Red Sox won, 7 to 6. in the ninth | inning. One was out and the bases filled when Vick, hitting for Pennock. singled and drove in the decisive counter. The Indians batted heavily and twice tied the score during the contest. . Leonard was a mark for the Athletics in the first inning, when they scored four runs. and Holling and Cole were unable to check the Mackian brigade. The Tigers finally took the short end of a 15-t0-9 count. Naylor and Harris hurled for the winners. Seven runs in the fourth inning, three the result of Wetzel's homer, gave the Browns a great lead, and they went on to beat the Yankees, 9 to 8. Both clubs walloped the ball. The Yanks used four huriers and the Browns two. Perry Loses Game.

FOSTER the series with Philadelphia, and eating into the series with Pitts- B EGINNING with its last series against Boston, continuing through burgh, the Giants have cut down the difference between them and the top of the league until western supremacy hangs on a thread. Abil- ity to win double-headers helped the Giants until they arrived at Pitts- burgh. and there it was the superiority of their pitchers that told. There's a study in the sgrategy af the rival New York and Pitlsburgh” man- agers. McGraw sailed in against his strongest rival with his two best “win- ners, Nehf and Toney. Gibson's two best winners had been used up before the ar- rival of New York to play the Pirates, and he had to try second-string men. * He has his two best winners left for the latter half of the series, but the Giants, by drawing evert on the four games with two victories, have far the better of the situation. Now, if the two best winners of Pjtts- burgh are defeated the moral effect of the situation will send the Giants scoot- | ing triumphantly through the west, while the Pittsburghs will be forced to an up- hill battle. A great fight is promised between these clubs for the next two weeks, and it is not improbable that on the outcome of that fight will hinge the eventual win- ning of the National League champion- ship, Aiter leaving Pittsburgh the Giants will face the other western teams, and, ifter New York, the Pirates must play the other eastern teams, Each of them has been strong against east and. west almost in like ratio, and the slightest vielding by either will mean danger. SATTING MARKS UPSET | Is Ahead of 1920 Ruth’'s home-run clout against the Browns yesterday put him one ahead of last season’s rec- ord at the same time of the year. On June 3, 1920, Ruth had hit fifteen. During April, 1920, Ruth made no homers. During May, 1920, he hit twelve circuit clouts. On June 2, 1920, the Yankee clouter made three four-base wallops. During April this year Ruth hit five homers. In May his rec- ord was ten. He had hit none this month until yesterday. Ruth’'s rivals. George Kelly of the Giants and Emil Meusel of the Phils, each has nine homers to his credit this season. Athletics’ Seven Homers in Game Hecht and Steward’s Each Has Won With Tigers Responsible for Two Major Records. Two American League batting rec- ords were created and two major marks equaled in a slugging match between the Athletics and Tigers at Philadelphia yesterday. The Athletics pounded out seven home runs, surpassing the mark of five set by the New York team two years ago. Incidentally the Athletics equaled the major league mark of seven set by Detroit when it was a National League team in 1886. ‘The grand total of eight home runs for the game, reached when Blue of the Tigers added another in the final inning, bettered the previous mark of five homers for two teams in a contest, made on several occasions. Three of the Athletics’ homg runs came in the first inning, equaling a record performed by eight clubs. ——— WESTOVERS LIST GAMES Play Engineers Tomorrow and Will Wl Ect Wintes, Meet Other Speedy Nines in Sunday Engagements.

By the Associated Press. S T. CLOUD, June 4—William T, Tilden of Philadelphia, world grass court tennis champion, won the world hard court singles championship here today, defeating Washer of Belgium in the final, 6—3, 63, 6—3. Tilden, although he appeared fatigued, outclassed Washer In the first set. The champion had difficulty with his service, which was once broken through, and in two other games his play was below his usual standard. He showed improvement, the elghth from Washer on the Bel- glan’s service, and then winning on his own service with the loss of only one point. In the second set Tilden rallied after outplayed Washer, who was beginning ifine playing. The champion's chop stroke, which had been offset to some extent by the Belglan's speed, became more effective, and Tilden used it con- stantly. ] . Tilden had things all his own way In the third set, getting a lead of three games. Washer is a left-handed player, and Tilden remarked that he always dis- liked to play against a left-hander, as he has to revise his whole game, pre- ferring to play the best among the right-handers rather than even a mod- erately good southpaw.

It may seem strange to outsiders that | ordered this four-day complete rest for Dempsey, especially as it had been stated on occasions that the champion’s daily workouts were merely muscle-loosening pro- cesses and nothing more. But Dempsey, always remember, was in fairly good shape to start his training, and was rounding into better shape day by day, until it became extremely difficult to keep him from cutting loose and tearing things apart at his camp. He knew himself that it would not do for him to be drawn too fine so early in his training, and for that reason agrecd with little argument to the four days of inactivity.
