It was the first time in quite a while that they proved able to more than catch up with a front-running club.

FOSTER. EW YORK, July 21.—In securing Scott from Kansas City in an ef- fort to fill the gap in the Washington outfield, Clark Griffith let< it be known that he intends to do everything that is humanly possible to bring its championship to the National Capital. This man Scott is a .325 batter, about that. He can play right field and he has been playing it for Kansas City, and he can catch. Griff is not so short of catchers that he needs one as urgently as he needs a day-in- and-day-out swatter in the outfield who can hold up his batting Playing right field for Kansas City, Scott seemed to zet along all right, although Kansas City is not making the headway it made year and has changed*managers, replacing Good with Lav formerly of St. Louis—a move which may do something and may not.

Taylor, spike-bruixed on the leg by Bennett when trying for a_ double- play in the eighth inning of vester- day's engagement, was to return to third base for the Bucks today. Bluege was at the far corner in the ninth inning in place of the wounded athlete. Managr Harris shifted his batting order for the last tilt with the Browns, moving himself to seventh position and placing Taylor third in the list. This line-up was to be used again today. Goslin, after catching Gerbers fly, made a great throw to double Sev- ereid off first base in the seventh inning.
