LOUIS Yesterday’s 7-4 Defeat of Tygers, With Goslin Star-l ring at Bat, Gives Bushmen Six Victoriés in Last Seven Starts. I < BY JOHN B. KELLER. 1TH a record of six victories in their last seven starts, the Na- W tionals today were expected to bid for the second-division lead in Ban Johnson's circuit when they tackled the Browns in the t gawie of a series of four. That 7-to-4 win achieved over the Tygers yesterday. while the Fohlites were being drubbed by the Macks, placed the Nationals within a half game of the fifth-place club due to be en- countered. AR v Bush's cohorts are not so far irom the select upper bracket, either, fur after absorbing their third drubbing in four engagements here the Tygers, in the fourth hole, possess but little more than a game advantage over the Nationals. Unless the Nationals undergo a marked form reversal in both bat- ting and fielding, they should make matters interesting for the Browns, cven though Bush's pitchers still are to be considered big-hearted fellows. Fohl's athletes are not so steady at present, either in attack or defense, having dropped their last three engagements to the Athletics. Their | presence may help the Nationals to move nearer the .500 mark in the standing than they have been since the first week of the American League mpaign. Jlid swatting by SGoose Goslin and ding by his mates enabled e the measure Tygers sterday. Goose from his batting slump far ng w brace of doubl driving in_four tallles counting two himself. "he outficlder’s batting orgy and sturdy defense were needed to bring the Nationals their win, for Jack Hgllingsworth was a real wild |, nan from Borneo and had himself | i hot water all the time. Bush's arting pitcher issued nine passes in addition to hitting a batter and yield- ing five safeties, and after toiling past the first out in the efghth in- ning gave way to Walter Johnson.

NEW YORK, June 9.—Lots of gam- bling is going on at the ball games. The owners are not exactly dodging the lssue,.but they are shuddering mentally whenever it is mentioned. Gambling has increased tenfold with the forming and operation of the base ball pool. It was the cheap pool that took everything from a penny on up that, more than anything -else, start- ed the gambling on base ball games Pools have been operated among schoolboys for a penny u throw and among office boys for a nickel a chance. Such pools must be honest or there would be more of young Ameri- ca going around with black eyes. But the professional pools being operated are the biggest frauds in the United States, not even except- ing wildcat ol ,and mining stock schemes, Such podls were so declared long before Commissioner Landls de- nounced them, And, as is generally the case, even though the buyers of chances know thev are belng swin- dled, they keep biting at the hook be- cause the individual cost is small and because théy all hope some time to be the one to get a little something back—some time, mavbe.
