SP ORTS."’ SIX CLUBS SEEKING SHARE OF WORLD SERIES SPOILS Yanks Seemingly Have Third Straight Flag Sewed Up and Red Sox Are Outclassed, But Others Are in Thick of Scrap. BY JOHN B. KELLER. C 1923 championship race practically i get nothing petter than an even br HICAGO, July 6.—With the Yankees enjoying a lead of eleven and one-half games over the second-place Athletics, and their campaign almost half completed, it would seem that the American League’'s s decided. Should the New Yorkers eak in their remaining engagements their closest present contender would have to travel at a pace above .625— which means winning five games o coveted gonfalon. f every eight played—to garner the! Those four straight wins scored over the Nationals this week just about put the two-time league leaders on Easy street. But the race for- second and third money of the world series pool still is on in earnest and promises to be the bitterest in seasons. The Nationals are opening their second western campaign of the year in seventh place, just five and one-half games behind the runner-up Mack- men, and a respectable showifig aga Johnson's circuit would put Bush's not in, the first division group. The manner in which the American League clubs are slamming away at one another, a percentage of .550 would win in the loop this year. The organization is suffering from having most of its teams too evenly matched, The exceptions are the Yankees and the Red Sox. The former are far Superior to anything else in the league, while the latter are weaker ! than any of their opponents. Howard Ehmke's remarkable pltching alone has kept the Boston crew near the remainder of the fold From the Athletics, White Sox, In- dians, Tigers, Browns and Nationals there is little to choose. Fach has an excellent chance to finish sécond in the long race. This condition of affairs means a merry scramble for first division berths, but it does not put any punch in the chase for the flag. Hitters Must Brace, Too. The Nationals’ success upon this western trip depends not alone upon the pitchers' bracing. To get ahead the club has got to regain its punch at bat and put considerably more life into its flelding. There was a lament- able lack of batting activity on_ the part of the Nationals in the New York series and their defensive was not of the highest order. On first consideration, it would seem that thirty-seven safe blows in four games was a fairly good total for any club against such pitchers as Shawkey, Bush, Pennock and Jones, but a stu of the distribution of the Nationals’ wallops in the quartet of tilts with the Yanks reveals a sorry Jack of opportune clubbing. In the “wasted-effort” class may be counted six of the eight swats registered in the first game, six of the eight in the second and six of the eight in the fourth. But five of the thirteen im the third tilt went for naught. Continued clouting of this kind is not going to do anything more than fatten a few batting averages. To win games, the Nationals have got to come out of the slump that seems 10 affect them only when their mates are perched on the sacks. This falling off in opportune hitting prowess is not confined to just a few players. Virtually the entire personnel of the club is unable to take advantage of Tun-producing chances. Play Sloppily Against Yanks Detensively, the Nationals were not very impressive against the Yankee: There were brilliant Individual per- formances, 'tis true, and there were not many errors of commission— mishaps to be expected in base ball— but errors of omission were too fre- quent. Sluggish fielding. too, marred the work of the Bushmen. Much of Ruth's showy work on the paths and one of Scott's homers on Independ- ence day were due to almost listless defensive play. One of the Nationals in the throes of a batting and fielding slump 1s trying desperately to return to earlier form, but without any success. That is Ossie Bluege, whose work at third base and consistent hitting made him a sensation during the club's first estern trip. The youngster at New York always was the first to get on the fleld for practice and went about his drills earnestly, but failed to bet- ter himself during the series. His batting weakness and inability to cover much ground about the hot corner told heavily against the Na- tionals in_the four engagements, However, Bluege has demonstrated that he can hit and fleld, so an im- provement in his play may be ex- Dected at any time. Hargrave May Be Used. With Pat Gharrity subbing at fi ‘base for the injured Judge Red H: grave is likely to be given the cate ing assignment in several games dur- ing the trip. The receiver procured from the New Haven, Eastern League, club got into two of the New York engagements and did quite well. Har- grave seems to be able to handle the usually wild Jack Hollingsworth. He caught that reckless right-hander in nearly nine innings during the Yan- kee series, and Holly wabbled only to the extent of two passes. It would seem that Red can give Muddy Ruel @ chance to rest occasionally. BROWNS, 4; CHISOX, 3 (AT ST. LOUIS.) Chicago. AB.H.0.A. 8t L. Hooper,rf.. 3 MoClell'n,ss Mostil, of.

The matches at Camp Perry will mark the first inter- national championship shoot in this country eince 1913. The Swiss team, one of the greatest in the world, is coming to the United States in an effort to recapture the Argentine trophy, emblematic of the world team championship, which it lost to the American team in 1921 and failed to retake in 1922. Following the preliminary small bore matches now in progress, re- glonal tryouts will be hela through- out the ‘country under auspices of the N. R. A. from August 1 to 15. These tryouts will be over the regu- lation international course and rifle- men will be permitted to use any make or bore of rifle, provided no telescopic sights are used. Winners of these events will be sent to Camp Perry for another elimination con test, from which a team will be se- lected to meet the invaders on Sep- tember 18 and 19. Maj. L. W. T. Waller, U. 8. Marine Corps, will head the team. W. R. Stokes of Washington, individual world champion, will defend his title. The free rifle team championship of the world is fired at 300 meters, in the prone, kneeling and standing positions. 'Long range firing at 800, 900 and 1,000 yards has always carried a strong appeal, so that in addition to the free rifle tests -t is planned to revive the Palma trophy match. which originated in 1876 at the Centennial celebration in Philadelphia. It represents the long range team championship of the world, and is one of the oldest rifle shooting prizes in existence, antedating the free rifie champlonship by twenty-two years. Challenges have been sent Canada and Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the republics of South America, inviting them to compete Zor the trophy.
