BY JOHN B. KELLER, P “oved White Sox aggregation is to be faced in five tilts—four of them fi‘., regularly scheduled and anot ITTSBURGH, July 5.—For the second time this season the Nationals are on their way to tackle the western section of Ban Johnson's | H i S % 0 lims. * Home base ball circuit, but this time they will encounter a more formid- | Mostii, Eh g lot of clubs than were met in May.

The Tygers probably have not strengthened any since their recent 'Eruett. 1 in 8 inning y in the pitching department (et of battles with the Bushmen, but the Indians are full of fight and do not care who knows it. With their pitching staff bolstered but little since . forth. the start of the season, the Nationals will be fortunate indeed if they establish during the western swing beginning tomorrow a record as good | jaunt of the season to the wild and wooly west, ! as that made in the first when a mark of .455 was achieved. at record was registered with pitchers far from right and a eshift team playing through prac- tically two of the four-club serics. This time, too, the Nationals will be handicapped. Joe Judge, usually de- pendable first sacker, has not yet re- covered from an injury to his knee and is not likely to break into the line-up for some while. The ciub also is short on steady hurlers. Pros- pects could be much brighter for the 8core of battles to Be waged before the Nationals again see the east. Trouble may be expected right off the reel, for tomorrow Bush's crew meets the White Sox, who are begin- ning to play up to the form wre- Migted for them prior to the start ofithe championship campaisn, The Sox n6w are fighting their way to Soecond place—there's no use conced- ing anv club a chance to oust the Yankees in the lead for some time to come, if at all—and they are mak- ing headway with good pitching and a hard punch.

The White Sox cannot give the ationals any rougher treatment 'han did t» Yankees, though. Noth- ing came the way of Bush's gang in New York, the final two games of the series going to the league lead- ers vesterday. Inefliclent National PRching was costly in both instances, neither of Bush's starting hurlers last- ing long. aul Zahniser was given a good buffeting in the first three innings of the first game before giving way to- Jack Hollingsworth and Walter ohnson had to pass out in favor of 'y Warmoth in the second session of the late engagement. Herb Pennock and Sam Jones of the Yankees each had a wabbly inning, but not until thelr club was well ahead. There were home runs galore to cheer the home fans. In the 12-to-6 first game, Whitey Witt and Everett Scott each pounded Zahniser for cir- ¢uit drives in the third inning, and n the seventh, Scotty got another off ollingsworth. In the 12-to-2 second scrap, Hoffman hit Johnson for the circuit in tha second inning, and Ward combed Warmoth for a four- baker in the fifth. = The Yankees won the early game jat Paul_Zahniser's expense in short order. Witt was walked to open the Gothamites' first inning. only to be forced to Dugan. Ruth drew a pass and Pipps' out advanced both run- ners. Meusel singled them home and stole second. One-hase hlows by Ward and Scott enabled Meusel to complete the_circuit. Much Doing in the Third Two Yankee hits were wasted In the =econd. but there was much doing in_ the third. Pipp walked, Meusel singled and an error by Gharrity that gave Ward a life crammed the bases. Scott emptled them with a Bhomer into the left field stand. After Hoffman had fanned. Pennock singled andy came home ahead of Witt when ths) Dblond Yankee hit over Evans' he'dl. Witt's homer ended Zahnlser's w gk for the afternoon, Jack Hol- ‘thesworth going to the hill, Holly kept the opposition away from the plate untll the seventh. fvhich Scott opened with his second four-base knock of the game. In the eieth, Ruth’s double, Pipp's walk and Ward's single, mixéd with Har- grave's error. netted the New Yorkers their last two tallies. The Nationals could do little with Pennock until the sixth inning. Then Peck started the session with a sin- gle. Goslin beat out a bunt toward the box and Gharrity’s one-baser tal- lied Peck. Hargrave lofted to Meusel. but Evans singled Goslin home and Harris' double counted Gharrity. Bluege fanned before Holly slapped the ball down the right fleld foul um,:';.-nrmg Evans and Harris. eigath. other run was annexed in the With two down, Harris and ‘Bluege each singled to left. A double steal was negotiated and Harris con- tinued to the plate as Hoffman threw wildly past Dugan. Except in thelr scoring_ innings, the Nationals could not comb Pennock for more than a lone hit in any single session. Yankees Hammer Johnson. tting an early start appears to Do s hamit with the Yanke, for they lost little time in jumping on Walter Johnson in_the second half of the matinee. With Witt out of the way in the Yanks' first inning, singles by Dugan. Ruth and Plpp filled the bases, and Meusel sent the trio home with a-triple to right. . Hofmann blasted the Yanks' second session by tapping the ball into the left-fleld stand for a homer. Joncs fanned, but Witt Apgled, Dugan tripled and Ruth 3Bubled, netting two more New York runs.

Ward singled to left and went to cond when Warmoth cut loose with a wild pitch. McNally's single to_Goslin’s territory tallied Ward. In the eighth the Yanks had a merry time with Warmoth. After Jones had fanned for the fourth suc- ceasive time, Witt tripled and scored as Dugan singled. Ruth walked, Pipp filed to Bvans” and Meusel dou- bled Dugan home. Ward's two-base knock scored Ruth and Meusel. The Nationals were well tamed by Jonea after their brief flash in the third frame. CAUGHT ON THE FLY. Deuble play No. 85, negotiated by | o the Nationals in the second inning of the opening encounter of the matinee, was a snappy affair. With Witt on first and Pennock on second, Ruth hit sharply_to Capt. Harris, batk of first b Bucky made a startling stop and threw to snag Witt, and Peck's lightning return just'nipped the Bam- hino.

P There is some little joy in tha bition. Of what you might classify as t of the ‘National League in 1922, nin fined to pitchers who threw the ball uneasiness comes over him. going backward instead of forward. In about a week the season of 1923 i will be half over. For the benefit of the interested who wonder whether we ar going to have some new Mathewsons and some Cy Youngs and Mordecai Browns some day in the future, it is worth while to call at- tention to the fact that the winning crowd above .600 in the National l.eague this year has ‘growed” like Topsy. Bill Ryan of the Giants turned up at last roll call with six victories and no defeats. Cadore Yet Unbeaten. Cadore of Brooklyn has won four games, but he hasn't lost one, 50 he has 1.000. There are some scattering pitchers with 1.000 percentages, but they haven't shown anything which gives them gold bands on their sleeves. But Benton of Cincinnati has won five games and lost one, 80 they don’t ask any longer why he was signed for 1923, Begin with him and descend a little in the National League. Benton has a percentage of 833, Luque of Cincinnatl is next with :818, Jonnard, New York, .800; Morr! son, Pittsburgh, 786; Adams, Pitt burgh, 7i8: Keen and Kaufman Chicago, .760 and 714, respectively: Scott, New York, .700; McQuillan, New York. ~.667: Ring of Brooklyn and Decatur of Brooklyn, the same figure; Alexander and Aldridge of Chicago, 643 each: Donahue, Cincinnati, .625; Haines, St. Louis, .615, and Grimes, Brookiyn, and Préftef, st. Louis, .60 each. . Comparison between pitching records of 1922 and 1923 leans toward better pitching now. In other words, old game of base ball is not so badly unbalanced as croakers insisted.
