BY JOHN B. KELLER. . ( :LE\'ELAXD. July 20.—Flocks of hits are needed these days by the Nationals to make runs. Since leaving home the first of this month Donie Bush’s aggregation has banged opposing pitchers for 148 safeties and fifty-seven runs in eighteen games, while the quintet of teams faced by it have made but fifty-nine more clouts, yet have garnered more than twice as many scores. The Nationals on fhe trip have averaged a tally of 26 hits, the opposition has been.scoring at a rate of a run t@ 178 hits, all of which indicates the National pitchers generally are unable to prevent a concentration of attack by an opposing club, and.that the Nationals at bat lagk an opportune punch. . Damaging errors have crept into several of the games played, and the National pitchers have, at times, been liberal with passes, but most of the runs scored dgainst the Bushmen haye been made by clustered clouts Hurlers have faltered badly and relief pitchers hravg not checked the bat- terings.

GIANTS AND YANKEES' BOTH MEET REVERSES . The two New York league leaders took two heavy tumbles yesterday and the challengers crept just a little eloser. The Glants, playing in the Polo Grounds, were completely white- washed. St. Louls was satisfled with nothing but home runs, and took three, the only score markers during the whole game. Two were hit by Mueller and one by Bettombey. In Detroit the Yankees were smoth- ered. 9 to 2. They were disastroysly short on hurlers, and the ones they had sported sore arms. Sevgn of the nine runs were taken in the seventh and elghth innings. The heavy hit~ ting was aimed at Sam Jones. The visitors from Philadelphia came out on top in St. Louis, winning jn a walk, 7 to 4, and*broke the “Browns’ winning streak of six in a rows The White Sox, playing on their home grounds, easily defeated Bos- ton, 8 to 3. Pittsburgh won in Boston in a-hard-hitting event, § to 6. With none out iu the elghth, McInnis, the Braves' first baseman, lined into a triple play — Traynor, S. Adams to Grimm.
