HILADELPHIA, October 2—After being stopped temporarily yes- terday by Rube Walberg, the Griffs today will resume their quest of fourth place. Rube’s twirling and batting for the Mackmen was responsible for the Nationals’ muffing a big opportunity to gain on the firowns, who were defeated by Cleveland. Had the Bushmen beaten the Athletics they would now be within a half game of the transmississip- pians. Donie Bush probably will throw the veteran Mogridge against Mack’s roung men this aiternoon in an effort to get his combination working wgain. Mack has Naylor, Rommel and Harris ready, with the former the most rested of the trio. 5 It was a peculiar break that decided the game against Washington vesterday.
