BY JOHN B. KELLER. LEVELAND, August 23.—Whatever the results may be oi the con- tests to be played by the Nationals before they trek eastward the latter part of next week, th will have enjoyed their most suc- cessful western invasion of the year when the five-game scries with the Tygers, opening in Detroit tomorrow, is concluded. So far, they have won seven of nine engagements, and should they lose all remaining on their schedule in this section of the country the record for the last sortie inta the western circuit of the outfit piloted by Donie Bush would be seven victories against eight defeats. i3 The first time it came west this season the club lost six of eleven contests, and last month it was vanquished ten times in scventeen starts, Now, however, it is playing much better base ball than it did during the two previous tours, and probably has several more games coming its way before it visits New York next Thursday. Even when its winning streak of six gams, the hest it has had this season, was ended yesterday by the Indians in 4 2-to-1 ten-inning battle Bush's outfit periormed most creditably The Nationals fought desperately all the way, waging a toe-to-toe struggle with an organization vastly superior in attack. and sank with colors flying It was a heart-breaking game to| lose efther way.

The local colored team will return to this city with an enviable win column. Tt has lost but three games in thirteen starts in the last two week: sinashes to the fence in right and Tight center, and in each instance a Natfonal fielder reached the barrier Jefore the ball did. Four of the blows went for doubles, due to peculiar re- bounds. Bases A startling catch by Harris cost Thle a hit in the third inning. The Indian hurler drove the ball on a line toward right, but the Natlonals’ cap- n dashed across his territorv and grabbed the flylng sphere with one hand. Harrls whirled and threw to Peck, doubling, O'Neill, who had left second when Uhle slammed. CHISOX, 10; MACKS, 0. (AT CHICAGO.)
