Faber has been unusually effective against the Nationals this season, but they managed to trim him the last time he faced them, when Zacha pitched shut-out ball, and they ha h)oe- of repeating.

La Motte played a whale of a game at short, accepting eight chance some of them bordering an the spec- tacular, in the most approved siyle, while Earl Smith made his presence felt in a forcible manner by banging out four hits in five times —up. Smith's: value, on both attack and de- fense, has been increasing daily since he has been playing regularly. In the seven games that have fo lowed the injury to Rice, Smith has failed to hit safely in but two, while the twelve safeties in the thirty-two times he has been up give him a bat ting mark of .375. > The Nationals muffed a fine chance tn the first inning, when Smith singled ana Harris was winged. Judge popped a foul to Schalk, Smith was forced at third on Miller's rap to Mulligan and Harris died the same way on Milan's blow. 3 Shanks died stealing after opening the second with a bingle, and when the Griffs did tally in the following frame they needed the a o an alien error. With one gone,.Smi stngled on a lpe to right and was forced by Harris, who took third on Judge's swat in the same directio and scored when Sheely muffed Mul- ® ligan's toss of Miller's roller.

Hooper got no farther than the initial station on a pass in the fifth, but in the succeeding session the Sox man- aged to get another athlete to the midway when Johnson singled and Mostil was hit by a pitched ball. Mo- gridge disposed of the threat by toss- “ing out Falk. Hitting for Wilkinson in the eighth, Bratchli singled to left and died, trying to stretch it, on Miller's heave to La Motte. Johnson followed with a bin- gle that availed nothing and Mostil's scratch safety to La Motte in the ninth was wasted when the next three Hose died aerially. Bingles and Bunts.

In fact, all the managers are playing the game of “put _them in and pull them out,” except Pittsburgh. done a little of it, but not so much as his cotemporaries. Philadelphia has confirmed the tra- dition long held in base ball that you never know what a tail-ender is likely to do by smiting Boston right and left, winning a double-header, and possibly putting the Braves out of running for championship in the National League. Twice it was “a tall-end team in years past that thrust a fatal blow through the ribs of the Giants when they were trying for championships, and now it is Boston that suffers. For that mat- ter, it once was .Boston that came away down from around the end of the procession and laid the Giants flat on the turf. Cemnie Mack is & conservative man, but every now and then he does something to make others believe that he would not hesitate to take a fifty-foot dive. He slipped Freeman, a kid pitcher, into a game against Cleveland, and the very nerve of the thing helped wallop the Indians. Ne player ever was nicknamed more appropriately than Adams; the Pitts- burgh pitcher. Not that he is “Babe” from an infantile standpoint, but from & juvenile standpoint. Some stunt if, after retiring from base ball, he should come back and pitch his team to g pennant. Baltimere keeps right on walking over the remainder of the Interna- tional League and preparing to meet the American Association champions in the post-season serfes between the clags “AA” circuits. Reush of Oincinmati, slow to start all of the season, is gradually work- ing his way up among the.

Caught on the Fly CHICAGO, August 22.—La Motte's best contribution in several spark- ling plays he pulled in the course of Vvesterday's game was his dash over to the midway to take Sheely’s bounder and flag him in the sixth. This feat was heartily applauded by the fans. The Capital Comedians, Altrock and hacht, had something new for the #e Sunday throng prior to the game. Their spring song dance was put on with Nick wearing an Abe Cchen derby and Al garbed in a paper ballet skirt of bright yellow hue. The act went big. -Rice donned a uniform and indulged in batting practice prior to the con- test. Sam limps but slightly now and expects to get back in the game tomorrow. Judge Landis, high commissioner of organized base ball, was a visitor at the National's hotel yesterday morning and spent some time fan- |ning with the athletes, but missed President Grifith, whom he had called to see. Smith had to gallop to within a few feet of the bleachers in right center to grab Falk's ponderous poke in the second. The drive was ticketed for three bases.

Giants and Dodgers entertained Gotham crowds yesterday by turning in victories. The former cut the Pi- rates' lead in the National League rac to six and one-half games when they handed a trouncing to the Cards. The Dodgers swamped the Reds under a deluge of hits and easily triumphed. While Toney kept the Cards’ eleven hits scattered, the Giants slammed {New York made certain of the game in the fourth inning, when, with two down, a walk, a stolen_ base, two doubles and a single produced three runs. Five bases were stolen on i Catcher Ainsmith of the Cards. In beating the Reds, 9 to 4 all of {the Dodgers made one or more Kits.

Tris Speaker and his world cham- pion Indians just now have a de- ded edge on the Yankees in the ::I‘C(l: for %he ‘American League cham- pionship. Beating the Red Sox, while {the Yanks were dropping two con- tests to the Browns yesterday, in- creased the Tribe's advantage over ames. B Should the Indians play through the remajnder of the season at a pace slightly better than .500 to win twenty of the thirty-nine games yet on their schedule, it would be up to the Yanks to travel at nearly a .600 clip to grab the bunting. The Hug- men would have to triumph in twenty-five of forty-two engage- ‘ments. The Browns took the mcasure of the Yanks in 5 to 4 and 10 to 0 en- counters. Eighteen men were struck out in the first contest, which had many odd features. Shocker of the winners and Shawkey each fanned nine. Shocker came through to vic- tory despite his wildness in passing seven men and hitting another and four errors by the Browns, Shawkey allowed one less hit than Ihis opponent and received good sup- port. Tobin's homer, with two on, helped down the Yanks in the opener. Williams got his eighteenth circuit clout of the season in the second game. Sothoron puzzled the Red Sox, while the Indians slammed Russell and wort, 4 to 0. Not a Boston runner reached third base and only two got as far as second. The Tribe clinched the game in the second Inning when it bunched clouts for three tallies. Ehmke came back to the game in excellent form and pitched the Tigers to a 5 to.0 victory over the Macks. Heilmann sewed up the contest in the sixth inning when he nicked Harris for 2 homer with two on. One o etroit’s runs was ofEnetoly due to & balk ——eeee e STANDINGS IN MINORS.

It is of the pitchers in the National. I T is a right pretty race that is going on in the American league for much more of a struggle than that In the latter, Pittsburgh looks as if it will win all the prize pears, because Adams, Cooper and Glazner are topliners. The leading three for the moment in the American are Coveles- kie of Cleveland, Faber of Chicago and Mays of New York. They are pressed closest by Shocker of St. Louis and Shawkey of New York. Faber and Coveleskie have been wrestling with each other for some time. First one has been in the lead and then the other, and there was a| time when Mays led them both. Each of the three 'has been a winner of unusual ability. May Win Thirty Games. Faber seems headed for thirty vie- tories, at least. It seems impossible to keep Coveleskie and Mays out of twenty-five, with a smaller number {of defeats than Faber, and that may | give one of them the crown. Shocker ; .lll! an easy chance to run twenty-; five victories jf he keeps up his pres- | ent speed, and while Shawkey has a| ;long way to go, there are reasons)| | why he may get into the list. The| Yankees may need him often in the 0x. 1 Mogridge of Washington has a Chi- naman’s chance to be high. He is do- ing as well as ever he did in his 1ife, and while he may not lead, he for j once in his base ball career is going [to be up among those who get hon- orable mention. For a long time the American had| more pitchers whose victories had gone into double figures than were possessed by the National, but the shoe is on the other foot now. New York has four such and Pitts- burgh four, and that gives the Na- tional elght men right at the jump. In the American, New York has three, Cleveland four and Washington three. i In the American it looks as if the final fight for the lead on the percent- {age of games won will be between Faber and Coveleskie. Mays has the next best chance. FAILS TO SWIM CHANNEL. ‘Woman, Though, Sets Two Records for Her Sex in Attempt. LONDON, August 22.—Mrs. Arthur Hamilton again has failed in an at- tempt to swim the English channel. She left Cape Gris Nez on the French side of the channel near Calais at 11 o'clock Saturday morning and got within three miles of Deal on the English side yesterday, where she was compelled to abandon the swim. | She was in the water twenty hours. Mrs. Hamilton expressed satisfac- tion at having accomplished what she claims to be a world -record for woman swimmers, both as regards distance covered and timeg¢in the water. Capt. Matthew Webb and T. W. Burgess are the only persons on rec- ord as having accomplished the task of swimming the channel.
