'FINAL BATTLE OF SERIES city, the fifth size in all' of these ce was the most favored of all stop- ping points by the Washington ball club. Since the days when , Tom Hughes twirled for Joe Cantillon, ball clubs representing the capital calways have had something on the Indians.

To Ray Francis will be intrusted the task of acquiring a victory for the Griffs In their getaway game before they move on to Chicago. It 18 probable that Jim Bagby will be . nominated to oppose him. The Sarge -hasn’t started many games recentl ‘But from the caliber of the opposi- " tion offered by the Milanese here Tris Speaker probably feels justified in arting _a game-flinisher against them, and that's all Bagby is nowa- days.

CLEVELAND, August 1.—After the finale with the Tribe today, the Na- tionals move on to Chicago, where they will encounter the gang of Kid { Gleason, which has been making a noise like a real pennant contender in recent weeks. Umplre Hildebrand was struck by a foul tip, with Harris at bat, in the | first for first-aid treatment. The game was delayed for ten minutes while he was being patched Judge's doul In the first was a low liner, on which Speaker failed to make a shoestring catch, but Gosln's was the real article, carrying on a line against the fence in center. 1 An even heftier wallop was that of Gharrity in the fourth, which hit the left-field fence on the fly. same round Shanks sent Evans close to the barrier to get his drive. ! Harrix had another busy day of it at second, taking care of thirteen chances, with nothing akin to a slip. Bucky has handled forty-two plays faultlessly in the four games here to i date. Each of Evana’ three hits was of lthe inficld varfety. He also bettered his base-stealing record with a cou- ple of thefts. Gharrity’s arm ix in a pitiful condi- tion. The Indians ran wild on him and got away with it. One more double play brings the record for the Nationals to date to 115., They bid fair to pass the 150 mark. A a fine seasoning of joviality Not that they don’t play hard and with seriousness—they do. Nono the less, they suggest in their tennis men who are at play, not men indulging in a terrifically solemn business. And In their hours of ease they are the finest companions in the world. Those who see them in action at Sea- bright will be convinced of something that has already impressed ftself upon the minds of those who bave observed thelr work-outs at West Side, namel. that they are going to be an extremely difficult set of young men for our Lavis cup nlay to beat. Patterson’s service is the nearest thing to McLoughlin’s that we have seen since the latter's terrific smashing of lobs at Newport in 1919. Patterson is the one man who can stand between the service and the base line and smasn a ball so hard that it bounces over the Ligh fence of the inclosure. Reports from England that his back hand has mproved materially have been borne out in his land-leg practice at Forest Hills. Anderson's ground strokes are as worthy as those of last season and his overhead game scems to have improved in severity and accuracy. He does not, however. appear as robust as he did In 1821. O'Hara Wood has something wrong with his shoulder and has been saving himself a great deal. constitutes gbout six feet five inches of fire, personafity and erratic play. When his’ shots are working he goes through games like a_steam engine, but there never Is any telling when he will strike a switch and go off the main line of winning tennis. The first serious business that con- fronts them will be the Davis cup round against the French teams at Longwood, August 10, 11 and 12. They are expected to win, for not only have they had a long period of acclimatization, but their game s of a higher standard than that of the French youngsters. One of the most interesting, not to ®say fascinating, duties of Maj. John L. Grifith of Champaign, Ili.. who has been appointed by the directors of physical education of the Bix Ten universities to the position of com- missioner of western conference ath- letics, will be the development of better intercollegiate sportsmanshi clearer understanding of the ideals of amateurism and an. increased knowledge of the value of competi- tive athletics. 3 In this work he will ave a strong right arm ‘of authority inasmuch as his office carrfes with it the task of assisting the conference authoriti in the enforcement of eligibility rules. The growth of condi- tions that have grad t into foot ball and basket ball recog- nised by the conference directors, who realise as well that the con- tinuance of intercollegiate relation- ships in sport depends upon the elimination of these adverse trends.

The two youngsters, hitting in third and fourth positions in the line-up, each contributed three hits to their team's total of eleven. The score was § to 7. The Roamers strengthened their hold on first place in section A of the senior division, by beating St. Teresa, 7 to 2. Byrnes held the los- ing club tight in the pinches and was given good support at bat and in the fleld. The batting and flelding of Corbin featured for the losing club. The Midland Club in the midget class put another across on the Cleveland Park nine, keeping that team in the cellar and again prevent- ing it breaking into the won column.

August There's no place like home. at leant none better for Ken Williams when he wants to Increase his home run record. When the Browns returned home a week ago 1o face the formidable Yankees, Williams stood third on the list ©of the home run sluggers of the major leagues. Today he is head Ing the American League by two drives, having hammered out five in the laxt weven days. Williams’ total for the seawon no far is twenty-six, one less than Rogers Hornsby, premier slugger of ‘the National League, has to hix credit. Willlams has made a home Tun in every game for n week. Hornaby has added only one to hix string during the Inaxt week. McQuillan has not shown any anything.
