Chasing Macks Now Griffs” Big Task : Pirates Equipped for Late Title Drive WRESTING LEAD FROM A’S JOB FOR CHAMPS ALONE Must Keep at Heels of Pace Setters While Waiting for Big Series With Them—Late Rally Earns 8-to-1 Victory Over Yankees. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HASING the Macks now is a serious business with the Nationals. ‘ The world champions, considering the futile efforts of other clubs in conflict with the league leaders, at last realize that the job of knocking the Philadelphia outfit out of first place is up to them solely. So Bucky Harris and company have settled to the grim task of trying to keep right at the heels of the Mackmen until the outstavding contenders for the 1925 title in the American League meet the latter part of this week. Then will come the fireworks - Hanging a winning Athletic score Stadium while the Nation are in the midst of a str a scarlet banner before the eyes of a male bovine. S, thg happens— and it generally happens quick. For six innings yesterday while the board . showed the Ked Sox in the lead, the game between the Y. es and the champs was a drab affair, with eihe players nor fans seemingly getting = much “kick” out of the |)rm(ml'l'g Then the A’s 3-to-2 win was flashed and the reaction on the Nationals was remarkable.

Mc-| Ernie Johnson Babe Ruth, Used as Gate Lure, Only Shadow of One-Time Star T must be that Babe Ruth is in the Yankee line-up at present as a gate l lure only. There seems to be nothing eise that would keep him in the game. The Bambino since his illness has not regained enough of his former strength to make him much of a power at bat, and he is all but a failure afield. He swings well enough at the plate, but has not been meeting the ball often, his average to date being far under .250. But in right field he is practically helpless. Perhaps Yankee administrative offi- cials are of the opinion that fans will flock to ball parks to see the shadow of the one-time really great player. That probably is why he is sent into the game daily, instead of being permitted to recuperate from his illness. Ruth was not expected to do much HOW GRIFFS ARE BATTING He mere! waved at when he returned to the game durin; the Nationals’ series in New York the first part of this month.

CUE LEAGUE SUSPENDS CANNEFAX FOR A YEAR CHICAGO, June 24 (#).—Robert L. Cannefax of New York, three-cushion billiard champion, has been suspended by the National Three-Cushion Bil- liard League for one year as a result of his conduct in a recent game with Willie Hoppe of Chicago. Cannefax, after losing to the balk- Iine billlard titleholder, slashed the cloth on the billiard ‘table with a pocket Knife, causing Hoppe to re- fuse to continue the match. The sus- pension means that Cannefax will not be eligible to play in the league next season.

Pittsburgh’s ambition to edge closer to the National League peak by taking both games of a scheduled double-header at St. Louis was de- layed by rain and the Giants con- tinued to maintain a lee of one and a half games by splitting a twin program with the Robins, droping the first, 8 to 5 and then taking the | second by the same score. Manager John McGraw ocupied the bench yesterday for the first time since he was stricken ill several weeks ago. He watched his club bump the Brooklyn outfit for the sixth time this season. The Philies started In earnest to ke up for 11 straight losses in the | West by pulling out in front in both ends of a bargain_bill with the Braves, 9 to 7, and 7 to 3. Aided by the hitting of Mandy Brooks and Adams, the Cubs breezed through to a 6-to-5 decision over the Reds, setting the Hendricks clan back In to a tie with Brooklyn for third place. The Athletics kept their distance from the Nationals by rallying in the ninth to score all their runs for a 3-to-2 victory. Two mishaps by the Red and a double by Pinch Hitter Bill Bagwell accounted for the tallies. COBB STARS IN THREE ROLES IN AN EXHIBITION TORONTO.

In his four times at bat Cobb gar- nered a homer, a double and two singles. Not content with this, in the eighth inning he made his debut as a pitcher, allowed one run in two innings and ended the game by re- tiring Dan Howley, manager of the Leafs SHEA TO MEET MABINO CHICAGO, June 24 () —Eddie Shea, Chicago bantamweight. has been matched to box Tony Marino of| Brooklyn in a 10-round contest at In-| dianapolis June 30.
