ITTSBURGH, July 25.—Confronted with the necessity of winning a ball game or returning home in fourth place, the Nationals yes- terday riz up on their hind legs and whald the eternal daylights out of a quartet of Detroit pitchers and attained itheir object by a tally of 14 to 6. They thereby ended their losing streak at five games and finished their road trip with a record of ten victories and twelve setbacks. Washingtonyg final battle on alien territdtry was notable in many respects. For one thing, the team played an errorless game, a decidedly rare thing. The terrific slugging of both, teams was the outstanding feature, the Nationals making twenty hits for thirty-three bases, while the Tigers got fifteen safeties, aggregating twenty-four bases, a grand total of thirty-five hits for fifty-seven bases.

C., July 25.—Colum- bia sacrificed one and one-half games to Charleston during the week in the Sally League, the runner-up cutting the advantage of the leader to five and one-half games. Columbia won four games and lost five, while Charleston was winning five and los- ing three. PORTSMOUTH, July —The Portsmouth and Newport News clubs of the Virginia League, which fought to the bitter end the awarding of the first-half pennant to the Rocky 1« Moynt club, have announced that they would carry the question to Judge Landis. Pirates, National League leaders. Four two-base hits netted the Tigers a trio of tallies in the domestic half of this session. With one out, Shorten clouted to deep left and held second while Shanks tossed out Veach. Helllmann then lifted a looper to short center which neither O'Rourke nor Rice could reach, Shorten scoring. Two more Tigers toed the rubber when Flagstead and Bassler both shot doubles near the foul line in right. The latter was picked off second by Pleinich’s peg to O'Rourke. Continue Their Tallying. Thelr unbroken scoring streak was maintained by the Nationals in the fifth, when Harris opened with a erash off Sargeant’s shins, reaching the far corner while Shanks and O'Rourke were being retired, and : counted on Picinich's third hit in a | row, a single to left. Johnson's first_and only base on | balls, issued to Blue with two out. l paved the way for a Detroit marker in the fifth. A passed ball put him 1 on second, and Bush's safety scored ! him. ' Another Tiger flinger. “Slicker” ! Parks, was on exhibition in the sixth, ‘but he failed to live up to his : monicker, being accorded the same treatment as his predecessors. Helil- mann’s muff put Judge on second. and after Milan popped trying to Bunt, Rice’s fourth straight single scored him. Miller then parked one : of Parks’ offerings outside the park. . seoring Rice ahead of him. Harris followed with a double, but was left. Score Three in Seventh.

His triple in the first inning, which scoped Judge, was his second hit in six games and marked the fifth run he batted in during the tour. Sam followed with a double, two singles, ot a life on an error and wound up with another double, his five hits making him the leader for the day, while the four runs he drove i equaled the number he had produced with his bludgeon since the team left home July 3.

They will renew the struggle in New York next | Saturday. Ginnts, Braves and Reds Win. In the National League yesterday, Giants, Braves and Reds triumphed. The first named took the measure of the Phillies, downed the league champion Dodgers and the Reds subdued the Cubs. The Giants nosed out the Phils, 4 to 3. All of the winners' runs were batted in by First Baseman Kelly, who, in addition to making his six- teenth home run of the season, hit a double and a single. The homer was his third in three days and was made off Hubbell. Ryan pitched for the Giants. The Braves won a game, 6 to 5, but lost Shortstop Ford when they en- | countered the Dodgers. The player's |nose was broken by a fast bounder | from Johnston's bat in the first inning. /It was a wild throw to the plate by this same Johnston that let the Braves score the tying and winning runs in the eighth inning. * Rixey Hurls in Good Form. Rixey hurled in old-time form and |the Reds drubbed the Cubs, 7 to 1. The long left-hander never was in difficulty after the first inning, while Cheeves and York were easy for the Reds. Bohne was the hitting fiend of the game, getting three safeties in four times at bat. Yankees, Red Sox and Macks scored wins in the American League. A cou- ple of late rallies put the New York- ers ahead of the Indians. The win- ning streak of the Browns was ended at eight straight victories by the Red Sox. The Athletics took a sloppy game from the White Sox. While the Yanks were beating the Tribe, 7 to 3, Babe Ruth made his 100th and 101st tallies. He is the first major leaguer to pass the century mark in runs. Mails and Shawkey hurled good ball for seven innings before the latter retired in favor of a pinch hitter. Mails weakened in_the eighth, yielding four hits for three runs, and Bagby was hammered in the ninth for two tallies. Tobin’s Hitting Streak Ends. The Red Sox defeated the Browns, 10 to 2. Jones held the losers to six hits, while the Red Sox slammed Van- gilder and Shocker for thirteen safe- ties in five and two-thirds sessions. Leibold got two doubles and a brace of singles in four times at bat. After hitting safely in each of eighteen pre- ceding games Tobin falled to get a clout. Athletics and White Sox clouted viciously, but errors by the latter had much to do with the Macks’ 11-to-8 triumph. Hodge was the victim of the Athletic attack and poor Chicago support. Moore went the route on the slab for the winners. Pirates Win Exhibition. ROCHESTER, N.

India’s representatives, who include S. M. Jacob, A. Fyzee and M. Sleem have proven sensations by their pla. ing in European tournaments. Fyzee won recognition by defeating M. G. J. | Riche, the former British interna- tionalist, in one of the leading Eng- lish tournaments. The Denmark team {s considered well balanced and composed of play- | ers of brilliance. Advanced further in | tennis_than other Scandinavian coun- tries, Denmark has had little oppor- tunity for internatignal competition. Tegner probably is the most noted of this team, having eliminated Wil- liam H. Laurentz, the French interna- tionalist, in the hard-court champion- ship in May. The other members of the Danish’ trio, Ingerslev and Hen- riksen, sailed from Copenhagen July 22, and Tegner, who is coming by way of France, will join them here. The Danish tennis organization sent these players to the United States not so much with the expectation of win- ning the Davis cup as with the idea of obtaining experience in future in- ternational competition. The Denmark team is in the semi- finals for the cup, and will meet the winner of the match at Pittsburgh August 4, 5 and 6, in which the Brit- ish Isles will oppose the victor in the contests now in progress at Toronto between Australasia and Canada. India is to meet Japan on the courts of the Onwentsia Club, Lake Forest, near. Chicago, August 11 to 13.
