~ Shanks. troit, 9. BY DENMAN ETROIT, Mich,, July 21.—To do as well as split even on their pres- ent road trip the Nationals will have to take two of the three games remaining to be played here, their 1-t0-2 defeat at the hands of the Tigers in ten inmings they have suffered since they invaded Boston on July 4, as against nine victories, five of which, by the way, triumphs in the west thus far being Cleveland and two in Chicago. McBride's band barely has b.:n able | to hold its own in extra-inning games. | Yesterday's affair was the eleventh | overtime battle they have participated in this season. Of this lot five have! been placed on the right s'de of the | ledger and an equal number recorded | as defeats, with the odd one a tie. | Jobnson Fisures in Four. Johnson did the hu-ling in the drawn battle. He hus a marathon de- cision to his credit, and yesterday's reverse was the second he has suf- fered in contests go.ns longer than the regulation period. Zachary was returned winner in two of the long- ' distance affairs, with Mogridge and | Schacht getting brackets in the other ' two, while Erickson has lost two iong- game verdicts and Mogridge one, in addition to the pair charged agains Walter. _ Johnson yesterday showed the fects of his two weeks of idlen: lack of control, and this, in the L analysis, was what beat him. On hits yielded alone he had the better /of his duel with Hub Leonard, being located for only a quartet of scat- tered singles in the regulation period, while Leonard allowed seven, three of which weie bunched in the second in- ning for Washington’s lone run. In the macter of steadiness Leonard ! had it all over the Kansan, however, uing only one base on balls, as against eight doled out by Waiter, Wwho forced over the first Tiser run by bunching three of his giits with a safety in_round five, while he paved the way for his downfall with a free transportation in ghe fatal tenth. Passes Rival Pltcher. It was his slab oppenent, who, in- cidentally, had gstten two of the four hits Walter had allowed up to that time, who was the beneficiary in the ultimate round. Leonard was forced when Johnson seized Blue's intended sacrifice and fired to Harris at sec- ond, Stan's pivot io Judge arriving only a_fraction too late for a doublé play. Bush whacked a single to righ. which sent Blue to third, and the lat- ter was killed off when Shunks made a fine stop of Shorten's rap and pegged to Picinich, who ran the Tiger back to third. where Howard nailed him. Then one Bobby Veach settled the debate by walloping a liner that was short but a few inches of carrying into the center-fleld bleachers for a home run. Two doubles and a single off Leon- ard, all slashing drives, netted the Nationals but a single marker in round two. A pair had been retired when O'Rourke lined a iwo-ply whack to deep left and scored sn Picinich’s sin- gle to right center. A duplication of the O'Rourkian swat by Johnson put Val on third. with Walter on second. Judge then was whiffed on three pitched balls. A pass issued to Blue in the initial session went for naught when the latter was flagged by Picinich trying to reach third on a pased ball. Veach got no farther than the gateway after starting the second with a safe- ty. Leonard was forced after hitting in the third, while a rapid-fire relay, Milan to Harris to Shanks, followed Heillmann's fly to double up Shorten, who walked in the fourth and swiped passage to the midway. » Tigers Tie Count. It was in the fifth the Tigers tied it up, due solely to Johnson's inabil- ity to get the ball over the plate. With one away Jones walked and was automatically Tetired when struck by Bassler's smash. Leonard sing?»d. and Bassler was forced in with [¢ tally when Johnson found the plite on swings with Blue and Bush !it bat. Walter then took Shorten's cf ack to end the frame. Following the third and thr{ igh the ninth only three Griffmen real ied the runways. Shanks opened the fourth with a double to left and rogsted on second while the next three Nitionals lofted. Picinich got as far as the midway in the seventh through his single and Johnson's death, “while Shanks was stranded at first when he singled with one down in the ninth, O'Rourke being called out on strikes and Picinich flying deep to Veach. Johnson was threatened only once following the fifth through the regu- lation period, and it was really not his fault then. but the manner in Which he was hauled out of the hole deserves more than passing mention. for it was due to a perfect peg by Rice, Which erased a Tiger at the plate. It happened in the eighth. Bush was credited with a single on a rap which O'Rourke heaved wildly past Judge, Donie making second. He reached third on Shorten's sacrifl I Game Passed Away II B. R, H.

AL ENGLISHMAN 1S THE FASTEST SHOT MAKER N THE GAME '— HE HARDLY LOOKS AT THE BALL BEFORE HE SWINGS . BY JOHN B. FOSTER. HE New York Yankees, who yesterday took the lead from the In- T dians, appear to be in a good position to hold it. The fine success of the Yankees against the western teams is the reason for oust- ing Cleveland. The latter has not been successful against the eastern teams. The great difference between the clubs was in the ability of the west to trismph over New York and of the east to win from Cleveland. The Yankees have overcome their weakness and the Clevelands have not. Boston is in a position to do a lot of damage to the Pirates, and Pittsburgh can do just as much harm Philadelphia and helped to win a pen- nant for the Phillies in 1915, and he came mighty near going to Brooklyn in 1916. That would have given him three championships in succet | As the champions have many more |twelve. |games to play against the east than they have to play against the west, | Where they have been uniformly strong. and.as Cleveland must make two trips to the east, it needs no expert to dem- onstrate that they are up against it good and hard.’ The Yanks have overcome their worst fault of years, a tendency to play poorly on ‘the road, and with the improved pitching which has come to them are more like a championship team than they ever have been. When it comes to predicting anything about the base ball championship for which their clubs are competing there are not two managers more conservative than Gibson of the Pirates and McGraw of the Giants. Rival Pflots Reticent. Gibson solaces himself with just one grain of joy. “We have made the sec- ond of our trips to the east and are.al- most through with it. While we have gained nothirg we -have not lost more than a reasonable amount of percentage. I figure with the trip most ended we are just that much ahead of the Giants. They will have to go away from home twice. Unless they prove to be a bet- | I we have that much advantage of them, which may amount to three or four mes." ‘.Bolh managers know they have a chance ané both are playing every angle to win. Both have been through the tribulations of too many cham- plonship races not to know that any accident between now and October is {likely to put one of them out of the race, because there is too little time left in which to recuperate. Boston is recognized as having a chance to win. Now that the Braves are considered to be contenders, there is just one little fact which must not be overlooked. Boston and Pittsburgh have played elght games. That gives them four- teen more to play. Boston and New York have ‘played Seventeen games and have five more left to play.
