TEAM IS ALL PUFFED UP BY DEFEATS OF BROWNSL,. .. Turn Rare Feat of Winning Series, Clouting Ball to Take Final, 6 to 2—McBride, Better, May Remain With Club. BY DENMAN cidedly rare feat in winning a C troupe twice in three battles. Interest of Washington's followers centers in the condition of Donie Bush, former Detroit star, who is due to report to the Nationals here. Ob- tained with a view to assuring the Griffmen of third place by playing short during the remainder of the campaign. there is considerable doubt that the Tiger veteran will be able to horn into the line-up with La Motte maintaining a steady gait in the po- | sition vacated by Frank O'Rourke.| The fledgling turned in another cred-} itable performance vesterday. getting another bingie in addition to handling seven chances faultlessly in the fleld, and with the club winning Bush prob- ably will decorate the side lines un- less La Motte’s work falls off. McBride May Rematn. ‘Whether George McBride will act| on the advice of President Griffith and &0 home for a rest has not yet been decided. The success of th St. Louis has acted like a tonic on the pilot, and if cooler wedther is en- countered henceforth Mac may decide to stick it out. The decision rests entirely with him.

Louis was a repeti- tion of that of the day before, a trio of Brownie pitchers, Van er, Kolp and Bayne, being pounded for four teen safeties, including a_triple by Smith, doubles by Harris, Miller and Srower, the latter getting two of them. and a cirenit swat by S%=zik wno also ripped off & sagla. Harris, wia Whrec Tuns o miz credlir, was 2he most productive an. Zach ary started in the box for the Griffs an- v-as effective save in one round, the fourth, but the intense heat sap- ped his strength near the close and he was relieved in the eighth by Acosta. who finished the battle in fine style. Ellerbe’s Single Wasted. Ellerbe’s single in the opener was wasted, as Sisler forced him, and Tobin was left at the midway in round three, which he reached through his single and Brower's fumble, because the governor fanned. When the Browns did break into the run column there was an element of luck attached. Sisler and Williams had been set down in the fourth when Jacobson smashed safely past Harris_ Severeid jolted a single close to the foul line in right. Brower, laid back to get it on a bounce of meJ blgachers. but the ball took a false hop and shot away from him, Jacob- | son scoring and Severeid reaching third. Gerber drew a pass and Mec- Manus_singled over -second, scoring Severeid and sending Gerber to third. The latter tried to catch the Nationals | napping by streaking on for the! plate. but La Motte, who had taken | Smith's throw, was awake and nipped the Brownie with & perfect peg to Gharrity. Brower, with a double to right cen- ter in the second, was the only Griff- man to reach the bases on Vangilder until round five, wken, with one out, Shanks walloped into the left-field bleachers on the Iy to retrieve ope of | the tallies the Browns had acquired! in_that session. Gharrity caught El- | lerbe flat footed with a bunt, and after | La Motte lofted Zachary beat out a bingle to Gerber in'deep skort. Tobin then saved Vangilder with a fine run- ning catch of Smith's vicious low iner. Two Brownies Are Left. i With two away in the domestic end | of the fifth Elierbe doubled to left! center and took third on Sisler’s little roller, which neither Shanks nor La Motte could handle, ebut they were left when the latter tossed out Wil- liams. Following the retirement of Harris and Judge in the sixth Miller lined a double over Ellerbe’s head, but Brower's best was an easy fly to Jacobson. - A pair of Brownonian misplays was a factor in the brace of tallies the Griff- men registered to assume the lead in round 7. Shanks got a. life when Tobin fumbled his liner after a sharp sprint, and Gharrity's single to left advanced him a notch. Van Gilder! was lifted here, Kolp going to tke! rdbber. On La Motte's attempt to sacrifice Shanks was forced at third. Tha sacks were fully peopled when | (hicai McManus fumbled Zachary's slow hopper close to second. Smith's rap t6 McManus resulted in Gharrity be- ing forced at the plate. but Harris|¥ came through with a double to left which cashed La Motte and Zachary. Judge left Smith on third and Harris on | second when he popped foul to Severeid. | The Nationals increased thkir lead' by one run in the eighth, when, with| Miller set down, Brower connected for his second double, a liner against the right-field barrier, and Shanks/| promptly cashed him with a rap to cenler. They then missed by a nar- row margin registering still another. After Gharrity popped. Shanks stole second, aided by Severeid's low throw, and La Motte rapped a solid single to left. Williams scooped the Dball up on the run and got off a per- fect peg to Severeid, which flagged Howard sliding into the platter. Score In Final Frame. Run-getting was continued by the Griftmen, in the final frame, which: marked "the debut of a third St.j Louis moundsman. With one out, Smith tripled to right center and reg- istered on Harris' single to left. Stan took second when Judge crashed a safety past Sisler and tallied on Mil- ler’s line single to left, Judge taking third and Bing reachifg second, when | Ellerbe let Williams' throw bound through him. They were left when Bayne, Kolp's successor, compelled both Brower and Shanks to pop. | Dual killings played a part in turp- Ing back the Browns. following t! et fitth. In round six Harris started one after Jacobson had walked and La Motte initiated another in the eighth that frustrated a determined bid by the 'Browns. Sisler opcned with a single to left and. after Willlams} skied to Gharrity, Jacobson singled to center, Sisler taking third. when Smitk fumbled.

That they will have no easy task continuing their success against the Gleasonites, which, to date, has netted them eleven victories in sixteen starts, is in- dicated by the fact that the Hose have just finished putting a crimp in the championship aspirations of the Yankees by knocking oft Babe Ruth’s team in Vi i witel T R Py A INDIANS .Champions Take Lead as Yanks Lose to White Sox: .

Y., August 20.—Thrilling tennis was in store for courts of the West Side Club today to see the national titular clash between Mrs. Molla Bjurstedt Mal- . Browne of Santa Monica, Calif. Mrs. Mallory, the to the experts, exhibited the finest tennis of her career in the preliminary rounds, while Miss Browne, na- tional champion in 1912, 1913 and 1914, seemed to have all the wizardy she displayed in her championship days. The experts credite Miss Brown with being the peerless tactician among woman tennis players. They are equally <greed that Mrs. Mallory is the personification of strength and endurance. So today's match, in ad- dition to being east vs. west, prom- ises to resolve itself into a test of the relative merits of strength and science. Californian In Favorite. Champion and ex-champion last met on the courts in 1917, when they played 2 series of exhibition matches for the Red Cross. Miss Browne won a majority of these matches. Argu- ing largely from this record, support- ers of the Californian-were offering odds of 5 to 4 on their favorite in the friendly clubhouse wagering. Mrs. Mallory’s supporters were reported eagerly snapping up the offers, de- claring the champion’s 1917 game was as nothing compared to the brand of tennis she has exhibited this season. Miss Browne also will appear in the final match for the doubles champion- ship, paired with Mrs. Louise R. Wil- liams against Mrs. L. Gouverneur Morris and Miss Heler, Gilleudeau. Results of Semi-Finals. In the semi-final singles yesterday Mrs. Mallory defeated Mrs. May Sut- ton Bundy of California in a grueling match, 8—6, 6—2, while Miss Browne disposed of Mrs. C. V. Hitchen¥ of Mexico City rather handily, 6—3, 6—. In many respects the contest be- tween Mrs. Mallory and Mrs. Bundy was the most sensational of the tour- nament. Mra. Bundy, brought from the Pacific coast, after virtual re- tirement from tournament tennis in recent years, staged a sensational come-back, which seriously threaten- ed to dethrone the Norse woman. The most experienced tennis fan might search his memory in vain to conjure up another such amazingly skillful ~exhibition of long-range shooting on both sides of the net. Ia Grueling Struggle. Not only was the meeting remark- abld for the marvelous accuracy of both players in placing close to the lines and_hitting with a degree of speed almost incredible ‘in perform- ers of their sex, but for the grit which both~ women displayed in sticking to their task despite a severity of pace [that must have called forth every jounce of endurance in their power. | They fought it out to the very last | stroke of the second set. There was never a sign or a semblance of flinch- ing on the part of either. Mrs. Mallory was possessed of the igreater physical, stamina, and that, in the last analysis, is what won for her. As long as her strength lasted, Mrs. Bundy made quite as many magical recoveries of almost impos- sible shots as Mrs. Mallory; her drives matched the champion’s in pace and in length) and at times their power exceeded the titleholder's. Neither could claim superiority in court craft. In the matter of service there was little to choose, for service was not ‘one of the most formidable weap- ons of either. Mrs. Mallory broke through service six times in the two sets and Mrs. Bundy five. Miss Browne Plays Stromgly. Miss Browne displayed much skill and versatility in her decisive vie- tory over Mrs. Hutchins. She has revealed the best net game of any player in_ the tournament and she shows such canniness in picking her openings for a fore-court attack that she is rarely passed.
