N EW YORK, June 25—In first BY JOHN B. KELLER. place and fit to keep goin’, that is how the Nationals feel about themselves after the 4-to-3 ten- inning victory over the Yanks yesterday, that put a Washington club in front in a circuit championship race this late in June for the first time in the history of the American League. . They have faith in their fielding, their batting. and, above all, thejr pitching, and back of this faith is a spiit of confidence naturally bred by recent successes. the series here. On the form pions, Manager Bucky Harri The Nationals would occasion no great surprise were they to take the measure of the Yankees again today, thereby sweeping vealed in the battles with the world cham- combination of diamond athletes ought to be capable of accomplishing almost anything in base ball at present. Harris was expected to send the youngest member of his mound corps, Fred Marberry, to the slab today over the Yanks. Marberry has started few games this year, but his work as a reserve hurler warrants a trial against the Gotbamites. Should the youngster falter Crafty Joe Martina, whose arm has been relieved of kinks by a hot summer sun, will be prepared to take his place. Now these wildly galloping Na- tionals, who have raced from a back- ward position to the most coveted point in the going in an almost in- credibly short space of time, are more confident than ever of themselves, but their confidence is not of the sort that led to their downfall in Cleve- ‘land. Then they considered them- ®elves good enough to hold an op- Ponent cheaply and entered the series with a lassitude that could not be dispelled once they became the under team. Fortunately, the club was able to re- oover its poise, once free from the spell of the Indians, but in getting back to its proper stride it did not forget just what had thrown it out of action temporarily. The Cleveland lesson was well taken. Since, not an opponent has been underestimated. Of ocourse, some teams encountered by the Nationals are not as strong as others, but against all they are play- fng snappy and hoid-up base ball, With every man on his toes. Have Won Eight Straight. AS 3 result the Harrismen have won eight straight games and eleven of their last thirteen, and when they tackle the Athletics tomorrow in Clark Griffith Stadium in the first series of a long home stay they will be very, very close to, if not in, first place in the standing of the clubs of the American League, instead of well down in the second division of the eircuit, as they were when they com- Pleted their last home stand. In their recent rush the Nationals have not found the going easy. Se keen has been the opposition that in practically two-thirds of the games “Harris and his cohorts have had to exert fighting qualities it seemed the team did not possess early in the sea- . During the present winning streak of eight games the Nationals kave had to battle desperate in all but two of their engagements. ‘That last encounter in Chicago was a nerve-wrecking affair, in which the White Sox threatened in their final turn at bat to sweep aside a National lead of one runm, not earned until the ninth inning. Two of the three re- cent games with the Macks were bit- terly contested, while all of the tilts here have been terrific struggles. But in all of them the Nationals have re- fused to wilt under punishment. Yesterday's Game Hardest. That ten-inning duel here yester- day, however, was the most grueling contest the Nationals have engaged in this season. Both clubs entered the fray assured that the winner had a chance of first place in the league and_they played accordingly. Most of the pitching was of high order; the fielders, with few exceptions, per- formed magnificently. All so-called “breaks” were made by the team that benefited by them. Wid Matthews' clever placing of his bunt in the first inning had much to do with its becoming a two-base hit. The vigor with which Roger Peckin- paugh smote the ball in the fourth in- ning added to the impetus of the hop over Bob Meusel's outstretched hand that converted the drive into a homer, and it was the strength that Wally Pipp put into his punch in the fourth more than apparently slow National fielding that made the blow a triple when it rebounded from the right field bleachers wall. The Nationals were called upon to face a left-hander, Herb Pennock. The only southpaw on the Yankee staff went the roate, and, until the tenth inning, which he opened with his lone pass of the game, worked very well. He gave six hits in the first four frames, when the Nationals &ot a trio of runs; two in the sixth #hat meant nothing and one in the tenth that put the Nationals in the way of victory. Russell to the Rescue. Two of Harris' pitching staff saw service. Paul Zahniser started and was bumped in the first and fourth frames—two hits being registered by the Yankees in each for enough tal- lies to knot the count. Then Allen Russell pitched to the finish,” and granted but three hits, although in his last four sessions he gave him- self a deal of extra work by putting on base the first man up in each. Rice’s single, Matthews’ intended sacrifice that became good for two bases when it rolled past Pennock and through the position vacated by Johnson, who had gone over to cover first base, and Harris' sacrifice fly gave the Nationals a run in the first frame. But the Yanks tallied in the same round with Johnson's triple and Hendrick's retirement. LALLM AL LA A LA AL LA LD A U U L L S LALAL LA AL e AL U WAL | President | g0 | heve. ROTO to try for a fourth stmaight win In the second inning, Peck’s single, Pennock’s wild pitch and Bleuge's single went into the making of a National marker, and Peck's bounc- ing homer came in the fourth. In the tter frame, the Yanks got to hniser for enough to tie the score. Ruth walked and, after Meusel flied to Matthews, stole second. Pipp's triple put the Babe across, and Wally was sent home by Schaug's single. Pennock’s Paxs Is Fatal. Nothing more in the scoring line happened until the tenth, which Pen- nock started with a pass to Bleuge. Russell forced out Bleuge, then went to third as Rice doubled to left. Mat- thews' fly to Hendrick was deep enough to permit Russell to score with * the decisive run after the catch. Ernie Johnson began the Yanks' half of the tenth with a single to center. Matthews made a good catch of Hendrick's long fly. Then Ruth stalked to the plate. Russell fanned the Bambino, and Goslin ended the struggle in favor of the Nationals by, making a shoestring catch of Meu- sel's fast-curving liner to left-center, CAUGHT ON THE FLY Nationals and Athletics play a double-header in Clark Griffith Stadium Thursday, starting at 1:30 o'clock, half an hour earlier than usual in the case of twin bills here. The Macks also will be guests in Washington for single games Friday and Srturday. Prexident Clark Grifith and Vice Billy Richardson have n a lot of kick out of this series Being officers of a league-lead- ing club led them to stage a special dinner party last night. After Goslin made the circus catch that ended the game vesterday, he was playfully roughed by Matthews and Rice before he could leave the field. The Nationals have all the en- thusiasm one would expect to find in some big college athletic team, but not in standard professional ranks. Naw that Meusel’s suspension has been lifted, he is playing center field in place of Witt for the Yankees Johnson was used at second yester- day as the Nationals were employing orthodox hurlers. Pipp wax given an error in the fourth inning when he failed to catch Peck's foul fly after colliding with Schang, who was set for the ball. It was a costly play, for on the next pitch Peck slammed. for a homer. Peck made a pair of spectacular plays in the shortfield. One came in the fifth frame when Scott drove through Bluege only to have Roger retrieve the ball and throw for an out. In the eighth, Pipp bounced a ball high off Russell's glove, but Peck jumped for a one-handed catch and tossed out the Yank. Ruth had a tough time at bat, even he hit .500 for the day. His lone Wow, a single was wasted in the first inning. Zahniser walked him in the fourth, and Russell in the sixth and eighth frames, but in the tenth when one of the Bambino's famous swats would have meant a Yankee victory, for Emil Johnson was an first, “Russell fanned him. Ruth waved for all three strikes, too. Rice took quite a chance when he dashed from third after Meusel caught Harris' fly in the first inning. The Yank had captured the ball just a short distance behind second base, but Sam beat the throw. Judge was the victim of a great catch by Ruth in the ninth. The Babe went to the rightfleld bleachers’ screen to rob Joe of at least a triple. Matthews did some heady baserun- ning to convert his dragging bunt into a two-bagger in the first inning, when he saw Johnson starting for first, Wid turned the initial bag at full speed and was at second well ahead of the throw of the Yankee second-sacker, who had to rush out to short right field to get the sphere. Walter Johnson left the Nationals yesterday for Washington immedi- ately after receiving word his wife had been stricken with appendicitis. According to later advices received here. Mrs. Johnson's case is not so serious as first supected and the pitcher may soon rejoin the club. JOHNSON TO BE READY TO FACE A’S TOMORROW Walter Johnson, premier hurier of the Nationals and leading pitcher of the American League, will not be handicapped by werry over iliness in his family, as was feared yesterday whem he was called away from the team in New York by the mewn that his wife had been stricken with an attack of appendicitis. Inquiry at their home, 1843 Irving: street, today elicited the information that Mra. Johnson was feeling much Improved and that her eminent husband had gone to the ball park to take a workout in preparation for the double- header with the Athletics tomor- row, in one of which Walter is due 'to pitch. “I expect to be thers mywelf, rooting for Washington to win Mrs. Johnson cheerfully comfided. TUNNEY IS FAVORED IN GO WITH SPALLA BY FAIR PLAY. NEW YORK, June 25.—Tunney to beat Spalla, but not to knock him out. Greb_to beat Moore, knock him out. Stribling to beat whoever faces him, but no knockout. Any one who wants to bet against this dope card does not have to look far to get down his money in New York. The fights are a part of the Milk Fund show, which will be held in the Yankee Stadium on Thursday night. The advance sale of tickets gives the project a fine, healthy look. The crowd, in fact, is sure to be big. It Tunney gets by Spalla. as he is expected to do, he will be the princi- pal in at least two more good sum- mer bouts. One will be against Car- pentier, perhaps, and another—per- haps—will find him facing Tommy Gibbons. Now that Dave Shade and Leo Flynn have adjusted their differences with the New York athletfc commis- slon, there is every reason to expect that the Californian will face the winner of the Leonard-Walker battle. Those on the inside are the more confident of this because of the quiet manner in which Flynn Is accepting the drawing together of Leonard and Walker. It is foregone that the lightweight champion and_ welter king will mingle in New York this summer, for, according to the latest reports from Jersey, Mickey has been weaned from his objection to the metropolis.

THRILLING race is being waged between Naval Hospital and Gen- eral Accounting Office nines of the Government League. The last- mentioned team, however, has only two games in which to figure Should General Accounting Office point the way to the City Post Office nine today and Government Printing Office tomor- row, it will win the right to tackle Naval Hospital for the laurels in the first series. Both games will get under way at 5 o’clock on the Ellipse. General Accounting Office is con- sidered more formidable than City Post Office .and Government Print- ing Office, and it has a fine chance of meeting Naval Hospital in the de- ciding tilt. Naval Hospital now leads the race with eight wins and three defeats while General Accounting ix second with six victories and three losses. Naval Hospital completed its first series by disposing of Government Printing Office yesterday, 12 to 4. The winners slammed tweive bingles, with Alley, Blackmon and Mallet leading the attack. Ordnance pushed over thres runs in the sixth inning to point the way to Quartermaster's team, 9 to 6, in the War Department loop. A barrage of fourteen safeties paved the way for Ordnance. Blumer and Smith of the winners each clouted a trio of safe- ties. Express tossers of the Rallroad Y. M. C. A. series ran roughshod over Washington Terminal, winning, 15 to 7. The losers combed F. Engle for eight safe drives, three of which were garnered by Naples. Regintered Mails fell befors the M. E. Shops team, 10 to 3, in the Post Office series. Timely clouting by Lucas and Brosky, who each knocked a trio of bingles, helped the winners. A rally tn the eighth inning, which netted a half dozen runs, gave the Treasury nine a 6 to 2 victory over Agriculfture in the Departmantal loop. Lucas and Dayton smacked two hits apiece for the winners. Kannaly, on the mound for the Naval Air Service nine, vielded but two bingles against the Army Medical Corps tossers, his team winning, 7 to 1, in the District of Columbia Service circuit. Dietrich of the win- ners led both teams at bat with three blows. Alexandria Light and Power Com- pany fs tied with Potomac Yards and the " American Chemical and Agri- cultural Company team for top place in the Alexandria League as a result of its 7 to 2 victory over the Alexan- dria Post Office. Ross, who hurled for the winners, was master throughout. Burean of Engraviag of the Col- ored Departmental series disposed of the Register's team in a 10-to-5 en- Ragement. Fippin, winning boxman, was in top form, as he allowed but five wallops, one of which was a homer off the bat of Lewis. Petworth and the Shamrock tossers were to meet in a postponed game of the Independent League today at 5 o'clock at Union Park. The teams are tied for fifth place, each having two out of five games. Brinkman or Chase will hurl for Petworth. Smithfield Midgets made it twenty- five in a row by downing the Lafay- ette team, 10 to 5 Wilson hurled creditably’ for the winners. Base ball of the first order is ex- pected in the Hess Athletic Club- Crescent game Sunday at 1 o'clock on the grounds at 5th and L streets southeast. Both nines rank high in the junior ranks and a real scrap should be forthcoming. Chevy Chase players were to en- tertain a strong opponent in the Bethesda team of the Montgomery League this afternoon. Games with Chevy Chase can be arranged by calling Manager Hank Duryee at Cleveland 1615 between 6:30 and 7:30 o'clock. Ranadell tossers continued their winning streak by downing the Di trict National Bank team in an 11- to-3 engagement. Coyle of the win- ners dished out a puzzling brand of ball. He was nicked for only four safe drives. Montague collected three bingles for Ransdell. S. Kann Sons Company nine was to tackle the Eastern Athletic Associa- tion unlimited team today at 5 o'clock on the grounds at 15th and C streets northeast. Handley youngsters are seeking games with teams averaging 10 and 12 years old, according to Manager Fox, who can be telephoned at Adams 1416. Maryland Athletic Club of the ‘Washington-Maryland series will dis- play its wares against the Standard Oil nine in an exhibition game to- morrow at 5:15 o'clock at Union Park. Manager Jake Milwit of the Herzls is casting about for an opponent Sun- day at 1 o'clock. He s receiving challenges at Franklin 4802-W be- tween 4:30 and 7 o'clock.

LEDOUX AND HOLMAN TO FIGHT TOMORROW Charlie Holman, fighting parson of Richmond, battles Charlie Ledoux, the French bantamweight champlon, in the ten-round feature tomorrow night at the Sportland Heights box- ing arena, Berwyn, Md. Ledoux has more than held his own with such boxers as Joe Bur- man, Young Montreal, Midget Smith and Jehnny Curtain. He packs a wallop and has enough speed to make the best of the bantams step lively. Georges Carpentier will sit in_his countryman's corner. Holman is remembered by loeal fistic fans for his fine performance against Joey Schwarlz. In addition to several preliminary bouts, Terry O'Day of the Mohawk Athletic Club will tackle Hank Dun- dee of Baltimore in the eight-round semi-final. GIANTS CONQUER VANCE FOR 10th STRAIGHT WIN Gotham’s oonsolation in the sad situation which finds the Yanks ousted from first place in the Amer- ican League lies in the Giants, who yesterday won their tenth straight game by adding Dazzy Vance, pre- mier hurler of the two leagues, to their conquests and defeated Brook- lyn, 6 to 3. The stride of the Giants took them another half game away from Chicago, which with St. Louis was not scheduled. MoGraw’'s team now leads the Na- tional by two and one-half games. REDS RELEASE DIBUT.

WAY UP TO FIRST DIVISION Led by Jamieson, Speaker and Sewell, the Redskins Have Averaged 11 Hits Per Game for 19 Contests in Succession. BY JOHN B. FOSTER. N EW YORK, June 25.—The most interesting clubs in the American League today are Washington and Cleveland. Washington has lifted herself into first place for the first time since 1913, and Cleveland is literally smashing her way up out of the second division, where she has been wallowing for weeks. At the speed Cleveland is going now, Tris Speaker’s club should be well up toward the first division soon. For nineteen games in succces- sion the Indians have averaged eleven hits per game. Jamieson, Speaker and little Joe Sewell, the shortstop, are slamming the ball. McNuity has supplanted the hard-hitting Summa in right field, and he had to be good to take the position away from Summa. Myatt has found himself behind the bat and Fewster, the fragile, is doing his part to help the team make the grade. Fllerbe is filling up the gap left by the fliness of Lutzke, and the wabbly pitchers are beginning to feel the supporting power of this team. The fewest hits made in one game by Cleveland since it started its climb has been six. Three times the In- dians were held to that total, and if it had not been for those three games, goodness only knows what their bat ting average would be on their come- back. The Indians are not finished yet. If they keep on as they are traveling, they will make one of the most sen sational batting rallies in the histo: of base ball, even if they do not win in the same ratio as they hit. On their rebound they have played bet- ter than .730 base ball, and they have gained 152 points on the Yankees, who now have been forced down to second place. Griftw’ Climb is Epochal. The epochal climb of Washington into the leadership was accomplished by a tenth-inning 4-3 victory while Detroit was losing a double-header to St. Louis. Poor playing by the Yankees gave Washington the last push that sent them over the top, but that does not detract from the achievement, for which Clark Griffith has been laboring so long and ear- nestly. Taking advantage of the other fellow’s slips is base ball. ‘Whether Washington can keep the Yanks and the rest of the league be- neath them remains to be seen. But at least they are breathing the rare- Bimel 2d Growth Hickory Balloon i Furnished and Installed We sell and apply Falls, Fisk, Goodyear, Goodrich, General, Firestone, U. S. Royal and Lee Balloon Tires. Let Us Estimate The John A. Wineberger Co., Inc. Col. 565 g fied atmosphere of the league right now. Meanwhile, the rejuvenated Indians have to be watched. If Speaker can keep his men at it with that wond ful magnetic personality of his, and the Indians go through the next east- ern trip with their sealp knives out, this Cleveland ball club will be in the thick of the 1924 pennant settlement —and it will not be a settlement by arbitration. Yankees Have Retrograded. The Yankees need every ounce of recuperation that they can muster if they are to come back to the lead, for they surely and unmistakably have retrograded in the last month. The reserve strength 1s not as good as the regulars, and if the regulars can: come back the irregulars need not expected to. Just now it looks more than ev like anybody’s race in the Americ: a situation that should roll many shekels into various:club treasuries.
