CAN ACHIEVE PEAK AGAIN BY TWICE BEATING BROWNS Johnson Pitcked to Face Sislerites in One of Tw Games Slated—Bucks’ Infield Shines in 4-1 Victory Over Sox on Sabbath. H AVING disposed of Chicago yesterday, 4 to 1, for a clean sweep of the set of three tilts with the White Sox and their seventh succes- sive triumph, the Nationals today were rarin’ to go against St. Louis in the twin bill that was to open the series of four games in three days against the Browns, weather and ground conditions permitting. The fact that isler's outfit yvesterday was compelled 40 appear in Cleveland for a licking from the Indians, with the two nights on stuffy sleepers this entailed, i not calculated to improve the pla: g form of the visitors and may serve to offset the psychological advantage held by the Browns over the Harrismen, an edge which is reflected by the fact that the crew from Missouri has bagged exactly two-thirds of the date this season. 15 contests staged with the Griffs to Manager Sisler's action in directing that Dixie Da and George Lyons spend Sunday in the Capital while their mates were traveling indicates this p of righthanders will be started st the Griffs. Davis long has been poison for the Na- tionals, but Pilot Harris believes he has an effective antidote in the per- son of Walter Johnson and he 1S eX- pected to pick either Zahniser or other battle.

It might serve to have them out in front when the four- Fame set between the two leading rivals for the banner gets under way n next Thursc What series that promises to be Inficld Seintillates. Sensational work of the Bucks' in- fleld stood out in that Sabbath ith the White Sox, five double plays being pulled with clocklike precision and speed. Four of them were by Peck and the other by On offense the Griffs did not do 5o well, getting but eight hits in_the eight rounds, but Barrett at short contributed three costly mispl nd Lyons were with the res runs enough were garnered. Jezebee Tecumseh Zachary allowed tors 10 hits, but he kept them pretty well scattered, and landed his eleventh straight victory over Chi- cago, the Sox not having been able to beat him in the past two years. The Sox were the first to break the ice, getting a run over in the third. Barrett led with a clean single to left and Schalk pushed him along with a sacrifice. Robertson then came through with a little roller over second that was just out of Peck’s reach, and Barrett gained the plate standing up. The Sox did their best thereafter, hut that solitary run was all they could attain. As the game wore on, that one tally loomed large, and the big throng was becoming fidgety and nervous, but the fans were calmed in the fifth MeNeely’s Double Starts It. For a starter Earl McNeely pulled a double down the left field foul line, reaching second by means of a great slide. Harris bunted toward first Sheely dashed in and made a nifty one-hand pick-up, but his throw to Kamm was a little high and McNeely again slid into ‘the bag under the ball.This put two on and no one out, and Rice followed with a pass to first, filling the bases. This was enough for Robertson, Ted Lyons being sum- money to essay the task of getting out of the hole. He might have suc- ceeded, too, with proper support. Gos lin follewed with a roller to Collin and a double play looked sure. but Barrett dropped the ball, MecNeely getting home, leaving the sacks still crowded. Judge then sent a roller to Collins, whose toss to Barrctt killed off Goslin, but Harris hopped home on the play, and when Barreit made a| wild throw to first for a double play Rice came over. Bluege fanned and Ruel rolled to Sheely to close the round. In the sixth the Bucks' fourth and final run was registered. Peck led with a single, but Zachary forced him at second with'a bounder to Kamm. McNeely hit the air with three blows, but Harris came through with a clean single to center. Rice negotiat- ed a base on balls, filling the bases. Lyons then failed to get the ball over for Goslin, forcing home Zachary. tto | | pitcher—Robertson. REAL CLASS CHICAGO. A) Mostil, of.

When the score showing Detroit's victory over New York was posted the crowd launched into cheering that lasted several minutes. While there were a few vacant seats at-the extreme left end of the grandstand, the aisles and all stand- ing room from first to third were simply packed with sweltering fans, the attendance being approximately 15,000. MeNeely hax made himself solid with the fans of all degrees. He started yesterday with a single, sacri- ficed the next turn up, and then laced out a pretty double in the third trip to the plate.

CLEVELAND, August 25.—Lester Dopson, a semi-pro twirler of New Jersey, has béen ordered to report to the Cleveland Indians for a tryout EVENTFUL WEEK IS AHEAD FOR GRIFFS IN TITLE RACE BY JOHN B. FOSTER. N narily eventful. EW YORK, August 25—Every week is an eventful one for th_e Washington Americans, but the current week is more than ordi- The week’s schedule sends St. Louis to Washington and Washington to New York. That is a heap of base ball for one club to shoulder in one week. If the Nationals rise out of it like the phoenix bird and are able to land, even for a day or two, in first place, it should hold them in the fight through September, and that may mean winning a pennant for them. The Yanks are in the position where it will jar them to their wishbones to be sent away from home fighting to regain the league leadership. Not that they are not good fighters, but it will mean a long, hard attack if they are compelled to go through the West just out of first place and not quite able to get back into it. On the other hand, if Washington should win three, or even all four, of the games against the Yankees, it would take all the magnetism in Miller Huggins' make-up to bripg the Yanks back to the top. In no season has the bloc system of winning in base ball so changed percentages and so upset calculations as to possibilities. Just when a team has appeared to be running extremely well it has fouled some other team that trimmed it for three or teur straight. Old timers of base ball will have to go a long ways back to find in- stances where a team that was out in front and going well would lose all its advantage because the next team that came along took it for a whole series. Witness the recent call of the Brooklyns in Pittsburgh. The Pirates had cleaned up on t%e Giants and for the first time this season Joomed as a real championship team. Then along came Brooklyn and swat- ted them three straight. In a way it was a laughable climax, for all the Giant followers had just begun to sing hymns of hate against Pittsburgh and refer to it as the one team to be feared, and then along came the Brooklyn outfit and smeared Pittsburgh all over the map. ‘When Cincinnati was going strong in the Spring the same crowd Insisted that McGraw had sald the only team he’feared was Cincinnati. This fear business, however, has become a wvariable quantity. The Gilants again are practically a week ahead in the National League race. If Brooklyn and Pittsburgh cannot win at the rate of .700 for the rest of the season, the race is the same as over. The Giants are not likely to lose much to the other teams, which are only ordinary. (Copyright, 1924.) SUNDAY BASE BALL BAN BEING TESTED NORFOLK, Va., August 25.—As a result of their playing base ball yes- terday, members of the Portsmouth and Rocky Mount, Virginia League clubs, will appear in court Wednesday to answer charges of violating the Sunday labor laws of Virginia. Players established what is believed to be a league record when they were arrested nine times for the same of- fense. They were taken into custody and required to furnish bond at the conclusion of each inning. Yesterday's was the second attempt this yeariof the Portsmouth team to play Sunday ball. Club officials an- nounced that the game was arranged to test the State law and +to find out, once and for all, whether professional base ball can be played on Sunday. Norfolk County officers made the arrests. At the close of each inning they gathered in players, gatekeepers and scorecard sellers, 24 in all, and marched them to the clubhouse, where Justice Cherry had established head- Qquarters to take care of the bonds. Portsmouth ' officials adopted the plan said to be used successfully in Baltimore, of selling score cards for admission. They advertised the game an officlal league performance, but T 'INDEPENDENT NINES after a conference with county offi- cers they changed the status to that of an exhibition, and the result, 6-4 in favor of Rocky Mount, will not count in the league standing.

The former team now is tied with the Knicks for fourth place, each having won three tilts in six starts. The Mo- hawks and Dominican Lyceum are deadlocked fin third place, each with four wins and three losses. Arling- ton, with five out of six, and the Shamrocks, with four out of six, are setting the pace. Knickerbockers gathered but six bingles off Mills of Dominican Lyceum vesterday. Tucci of the Lyceum club smacked a triple and double in two times at bat. Robey, Schneider and Mattingly each poled a pair of clouts for the Shamrocks in the Mohawk game. Thompson, winning flinger, hurled in steady style throughout, allowing but seven wallops to the Indians. Petworth's victory over Maryland was somewhat of an upset. Petworth presented a clever boxman in Mills, who was nicked for only seven safeties. Tavlor and Rheese of the victors were effective with their bats. A total of 23 safe drives was combed by Arlington off Druken- miller and Stearns, Cherrydale slab artists. Flatherty of Arlington had a perfect day at bat, as he connected for 6 clouts in as many times at the plate. nines Dom inn to the Navy Medical School players took the measure of the Walter Reed Hospital nine in a well played, 3-to-0 tilt.
