RANK NEXT TO BROWNS AS STYMIE FOR BUCKS Griffs Must Win All of Remaining Four Games Against Cleveland to Get an Even Break on Season—Mogridge Hurls Final Toda BY DENMAN THOMPSO the Nationals fail to establish history by earning the first pennant ever won by a Washington combination, as it now seems they must unless they set a truly terrific pace for the 42 scheduled contests re- maining, the blame for it will be directly attributable to their ineffective- ness against just two of their seven opponents—St. Louis and Cleveland— neither one of which has made a formidable showing in the hectic struggle for top honors in Ban Johnson's circuit. _To date the Griffmen have been able to account for only one-third of the 15 contests played to a decisi¥1 with the Browns and have succeeded in winning but seven while losing 11 decisions to the Indians. An even break with the Tribe, which would add two games to the Washington won column and decrease the losses by the same number, and a pair of additional victories against the Browns with the same result, would give the Buck record today of 65 games won and 47 lost for a percentage oi .580. which is just nine points more than the figures now boasted by the league-leading Yanks, whom the Griffs are trailing by three fuil games Against every ther ome of their seven rivals the Nationals hold an ad- vantage on the season ranging from two games over the Hugmen to six games the Chisox. The setback received from the In- dians yesterd: hen Stan Coveles- kie, the polished Polish spitball ma-~ nipulator, outpitched Jezebel Tecum- £eh Zachary by a wide margin to achieve a 5 verdict, not only pre cluded the pos bility of the Buck: #aining an edge over the Redskins for the season, but made it necessary for them to make a clean sweep of the four battles remaining between them to get so good as an even break.

Matchmaker Johnston was optimistic that Leonard's re- ported injury is not as serious as was at first thought, and that the light- weight champion will be able to re- sume boxing sooner than expected. Johnston has called a meeting of the boxers' managers for this afternoon, when an attempt will be made to de- cide upon a new date for the contest postponed because of Leonard's in- jury. Indications are that Johnston will discard his original plan, by which he intended to arrange a date about 10 days in advance of the Harr: and Dr | Wills-Louis Firpo bout in Jersey Cit on September 11, and agree to hold the Walker-Leonard match after the struggle. Johnston explained that if the new date yet to be specified con- flicted with the base ball schedule of the Yankees, he would transfer the match to the Polo Grounds.

Jumbo, game to the last minute, was out on his feet and the referee, Col. Frickson, stopped the - uneven con- test. Turner put up the cleverest fight seen in these parts for some time. He smacked Jumbo at will, employing a deadly left crossed with an equally as strong right. He stood toe to toe with Eggleston, but the latter could do little, although his exhibition abounded in gameness and grit. Joe Downey of Newark, N.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. N EW YORK., August 14—Now that the Yankees are losing morc. baji games than they did last year, there is a great deal of talk abofi the falling off of their pitching staff, and Manager Huggins it criticized for failure to buy patches to cover up the holes It isn't altogether that the pitching staff has fallen off. The Yank- are a slower team than they were in 1923. They were not thoroughbrer gallopers then. And they are less so now. Their inability to get out i front and stay there is as much due to the fact that they are not gettinz ® the proper work out of their fielders as to any decline in pitchine strength. Of course, Bush and Jones have not as many victories to their cred: as they had last vear, and, judging by what is going on now, they wi finish the season behind last year's record. But the Yanks also have sonie defeats to their credit which were due to failure of the ficlders to knock down embryo hits, as in the past. Hoyt is doing fully as well in the box as in 1923 Pennock is coming back with a splendid showing for a pitcher of no greater physique than his. Bush has a fine chance to have a record no worse than that of last ye But Jones is hopelessly out of it. If he were pitched twice a wes for the rest of the season and all the time he would hardly be to equal his last vear's record Gaston, a kid pitcher of Pat from whom little was expected managed to win five times as games as he has lost and that much as the Yanke could ask of th | most expensive pitching star rson has many Shawkey Is Delivering. | Shawkey is running about as did in 1923 and that means he |®00d work horse.
