SPORTS." e ————— > A R A — 21 Further Shake-Ups Due for Nationals : Giants in Real Danger of Losing Flag FAILURE TO HIT MAY LEAD ¢ TO MORE SHIFTS BY BUSH Griffmen Displaying Woeful Lack of Punch in Road Games—Sedgewick, Poorly Supported, Beaten by White Sox in Debut, 8-1. T. LOUIS. July 10—Unless the Nationals emerge from their batting S slump within the next few days more shifts in the order of attack are likely to occur. Manager Donie Bush, who shuffled his players yesterday just before the final game of the series with the White Sox, was not altogether satisfied with the performance of the newly arranged ot and intimated that further changes might be expected during the en- gagements here with the Browns if timely clouts were not more fre- quent. 3 ¥ Excepting Saturday’s double bill with the Sox, the Bushmen have shown little punch in their road games. With the pitchers improving in their work, this weakness with the flail is unfortunate. On two occasions any respectable kind of an attack would have brought home the bacon and landed the Nationals in this town with an even break for the trip instead of two victories and six defeats. The occasions referred to were the fifteen-inning encounter lost to the Yankees and the battle won by the White Sox Sunday.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, July 10—The National League race has worried itse! into such a situation that it is a three-cornered cut-throat « mess, ot of which the two leading western teams can defeat New York if they can overcome the Giants' great percentage gained against Boston and Philadelphia. To do that both Pittsburgh anc Cincinnati must pound New York all of the time _ If either the Pirates or the Reds fail in that task, but show an ability to win from their western rivals, the Giants are likely to sli by both teams, just as they did last summer It is of significance to note that the fight on New York ha started a little earlier than in the two preceding years. It bega last year and i 1921 ‘in August. The Cincinnati club has been more successful than usual against New .York this year, due largely to t} fine pitching of Luque, the Cuban.
