Griffs Carry Fight to Macks Tomorrow : Washington Heeled for Stretch Drive LEAGUE LEAD AT STAKE IN SERIES OF FIVE GAMES Play Since Last Meeting Indicates Clubs Are Well- Matched—Lack of Punch and Ogden’s Hurl- ing Failure Loses Battle to Yank: BY JOHN B. KELLER. FTER watching with some con cern the futile efforts of other clubs to rock the racing craft of the Athletics, the Nationals tomorrow will engage in the venture themselves. days are scheduled with the league leade Five games in as many the first two to be played in Philadelphia and the others in Clark Griffith Stadium, and the Nationals feel that the time has come to assert their right as world champions to the honor position in the American League. They may gain the peak during the series, t0o, but recent performances of both clubs indicate that it may not be gained without considerable battling The Nationals han place by dropping a 3 beating the Red Sox. the pace-setters. So if the locals are dicapped themselves yesterday in the fight for first to-3 game to the Yankees while the A's were barely Now the champs are two and a half games behind to jump to the front by July 1 they probably will have to sweep the entire set of contests with the fast-flying | UNLUCKY SEVENTH Mackmen. So far this season, the Nationals have won more games from the Phila delphia outfit than any other club in the league. Nine times the teams have met and five times the champs have been successful. In, competition with the other clubs since they last met, Nationals and Athletics have played at almost the same gait, leav ing little to choose between them in figuring upon the outcome of the im pending series. Lack of Punch Costl. To overhaul their great rivals, the Nationals very likely will have to show more punch and offer better pitching than they did vesterday in the second engagement of the series with the Yankees. Sad Sam_Jones, who hurled for the New Yorkers, gave the locals every opportunity to bag the contest. He issued nine bases on balls and gave up eight safeties, including a brace of triples, but they stubbornly refused to take advantage of his generosity However, all may have ended well had not Curly Ogden mixed some weird fielding with some equally weird pitching. Curly started a game for | the first time this season and got along in great style for four innings, only one Yank denting the runways in that tme and then by virtue of 2| pass. But in_ the fifth and sixth| innings, in each of which the Yanks got two hits, he filled the sacks and escaped trouble only by a whisker. In the seventh, Curly flopped alto gether and before he was relieved by Allen Russell five hits, a pass and his own hectic heave after fielding a bunt netted the Yanks four tallies and paved the way to another The story of that inning is the story of the Nationals' defeat. Wanninger began the session for the visitors with a twobagger to right field. Jones bunted and Wanninger dashed to third. Ogden slipped in fieldinz the ball, then made a poor throw to| Bucky Harris, who covered first, but | Sad Sam was credited with a hit, even though a good heave may have nipped him. Dugan slapped a single to left, sending Wanninger home with the run that tied the Natlonals’ tally made in round 1, but Jones pulled up at second. Then the real trouble started. Ogden’s Error Damaging. Combs bunted, and Ogden. | grabbed the ball. had an easy force play on Jones at third base in sight.| But Curly threw far over Bluege's head to the field box barrier along the foul line, letting Jones score, Dugan take third base and Combs se: ond. Veach made the first out of the frame with a pop to Bes Bucky, but | Meusel looped a single to right cen-| ter that registered Dugan and Combs at_the counting block. Meusel attempted to pilfer second, but was cut down by Ruel’s throw to Peck. Gehrig, though, walked and took third as Schang singled. That satisfied Harris that Ogden was through for the day, so Russell was brought to the slab.” While Allen wa pitching to Ward, who ultimately fanned, Gehrig tallied in a double steal negotlated with Schang. Harris' re turn of Ruel’s toss W just high | enough to permit the Yankee runner to slide home safely, That was all for the Yankees, even though they ot men on the paths in the eighth while Russell adorned the hill and drew one pass from Fred Marberry, who twirled in the ninth. But it was enough, for the Nationals, despite free use of pinch-batters and a runner In the last two rounds, could not catch up. The champs got to Jones for a marker in the opening inning, a pass to McNeely, Bucky Harris' single and Rice’s infield retirement ' doing the work. Passes to Ruel, McNeely and Harris and Ogden's single after one was out in the second proved useless, Ruel's walk going into the discard when he tried to run from first to third on Curly’s short hit, while Rice's best with the sacks jammed was a loft to Combs. | who | Score in Late Rounds. Two Nationals were on with one out in the fifth, but Goslin flied to Veach and Rice died stealing while Judge was at bat. Ogden’s fan left two champs stranded in the sixth, and a double playv offset a pass to McNeely at the start of the seventh. Thin were a bit difierent in the last two frames, though. Goslin began round 8 with a triple to center and raced home as Judge was retired, Gehrig to Jones. Bluege singled and Peck walked. Leibold was . sent in to run for Peck, but neither of the Nationals on the paths advanced, as Joe Harris, batting foe Ruel, sent a long fly to Veach, and Ruether, pinch-batting for Russell, rolled to Ward McNeely opened the ninth with a single, only to be forced cut by Buck Harris, Rice's infield demise moved Buck forward a peg, and he took third base unmolested. from where he came home when Goslin slammed his second triple of the day. the hit this time going to Fight field. Judge's walk put the tying tally on the run ways, but Bluege bounded harmlessly to Jones. TAYLOR WHIPS MURPHY.

Since May 28 the Macks hav 26 games and the Nationals, 25. Each club has scored 17 victories, the A's having dropped just one more game than the champs. The leaders have been playing at a winning rate of .654, 35 points below their season per- cenfage. The second-place locals have played at a .680 clip, 35 points better than their record for the campaign That indicates just how fast a club | must travel to pick up even a small amount of ground over more than three weeks of play ague played Stanley Coveleskie was expected to do the hurling for the Nationals this afternoon if weather permitted a game to be held.

He claims he is swinging as freely as ever, but simply cannot meet the ball squarely. In his last 20 times at bat, Joe has made only two hit: Sixteen players broke into the Na- tional line-up yesterday, Manager Harris using two extra pitchers, extra shortstop and catcher, two _pinch- batters and a pinch-runner. Neither of the pinch-batters was able to produce, though Joe Harris did send Veach far back for a catch. Bucky Harris made a fine bid for Gehrig's single in the sixth, going practically back of first base to knock down the ball. He was off balance, though, and could not make a throw for a retiring chance. Gehrig gave Ogden plenty of trouble. The Yank faced Curly four times for two hits and two walks. Mrs. R. R. Harper, the Australian woman tennis champion, has a record of 17 championships won in a period of 10 months.

NEW YORK, June 25.—With Sam Gray going the full route for the first time since the Injury to his hand had cut short an elght-game winning streak, Mack’s team poured a volley of 15 hits into the ranks of the Bos ton Red Sox to win by 5 to 4. Every player in the Macklan line-up bagged at least one bingle, Lamar hitting safely in his twenty-fourth consecu- tive game. A run in the ninth decided the issue. The Giants and Pirates, neck and neck in the National League scram- ble for the flag, falled to improve their positions, both splitting twin bills. One-sided scores ruled in the games of the leaders with the Brook- lyn Robins. In the opener, New York fell upon Grimes for 14 hits to sail home under full steam at 8 to 3, while in the afternoon the Dodgers paid a similar compliment to the curves of Art Nehf, shelling him from the slab for a 9-to-1 triumph. Rogers Hornsby, new manager of the Cardinals, hurtled three home runs into the stands of his home field, but St. Louis had to be content with only one of the two games played with the Pirates. Two of the circuit smashes came in the first game, which the Cards won by 11 to 3, while his third in the ninth inning of the final game brought the home team within one run of a te score, 7 to 6. In the only other National League tilt, Betts let the Braves down with only five hits, and the Phillles won in a walk, 10 to 1.
