BY DENMAN THOMPSON. ETROIT, Mich., July 26—There will be no more experimenting with the line-up of the Nationals. Having become convinced that the team as it took the field yesterday is the strongest that it is possible to present, Manager Milan has let it be known that no further changes will be made. Asserting that he had by no means lost faith in his players’ individually or as a club, it is announced by the pilot that in an effort to obtain a position as high as possible in their reach he will play the string out with Shanks, Goslin and Brower as regulars at third, left and right, respectively, regardless of the brand of pitching faced or any other consideration. “The time for tinkering has passed,” Zeb observed, prior to yester- day’s pastime with the Tygers, a colorful affair marked by senstional fielding and fiery oratory that resulted in the expulsion of two Griffmen. the Nationals copped, 5 to 4, thanks to a circuit clout by Pat in the ninth, a starter added because of the aforementioned wrangling. which set a near record for time consumed and crabbed Bill Guthrie's debut as a. big leaguer. = “Close study of the relative ability | of the men on our roster has con- | vinced me that a maximum of efli-!

HICAGO, July 27.—Ken Willi Americans, is sacrificing his ambition to be the leading home-run hitter of the American League this season because of his desire to give every ounce of his playing ability to the Browns in their struggle for the pennant. This was the statement today of Walter Fritsch, vice president of the St. Louis club, here to attend the American League meeting. LITTLE LESSONS FOR THE GOLFER By George O'Neil There is something about the rustling air in a high wind that tends to unsteady a player and make him “rush” his shots—that is, he tries to hit the ball tog hard and in the attempt the full force of his strength is somehow dissipated are ‘forced a results. Feel yourself behind the ball, as it were; feel the club in ° your fingers; hit the ball upward. When you are slicing it is becaune you do mot follow through bent enough. One of the finest drivers in golf Abe Mitchell, the British stsr, ho not only gets tremendoun dis- tance, but accuracy along with ft— an unusual accomplishment. Above you see Mitchell's grip. Note the indications of power in the free yet certain hold he takes on his club. This is ecalled the Vardon grip, though Harry Vardon mever claimed to have originated it. (Copyright, John F.

They'll have to build a hanging gal- lery and suspend it from the clouds to provide seating capacity enough for the river folks who are “just fairly bustin’ their sides to shout.” Not less than 10,000 new te will have to be provided in some way to meet the demand for them.

Willlams and Tillie Walker of the Athletics today are leading the scramble in home-run hitting, Walker having batted twenty-four, while Willlams has poled twenty-two. “When Williams steps up to the plate now, it is with no thought of knocking out a home run,” Fritsch seid today. “He takes a natu swing at the bail and if he connects with a base hit he is satisfied Since he has rélinquished his decire to be the leading home-run hitter his batting average has improved re- markably. He again is hitting in the .300 class, which was not the case when he was trying to knock out a home run at every trip to the plate” Confidence of winning the American League flag for St. Louis {s predom- inant among the Browns, Fritsch de- clared.
