LOUIS, July 11.—Having gained an even break in the series with the White Sox, the team considered by the Nationals their most formidable opponent, the world champions were more than glad to Of course, a victory instead of that 10-to-9 defeat vesterday, while the Atheltics were bowing to the Indians, would have been sweet, but the champs regard it as fortunate that they were able to advance a game beyond the Macks while battling with Eddie Collins’ gang. : In the four-game series here, due to start today, the Na ionals are hopeful of getting along as well as they did during their visit to the in May.

After these stars have been empl ed, Harris probablv will have to fall back on Jez Zachary and Curly Og den, of necessity rated as regulars and his relief trio. Should Johnson, who has been suffering with tonsilitis, recover sufficiently to with stand the rigors of travel he may join the club here, but it is not likely that he will get into a game against the Browns. Johnson probably" will not toe the slab before another week goes by, according to mea reports com ing from attending physicians Johnson's Absence Felt. Johnson certainly would have in handy in Chicago yesterday when the wobbly pitchers of the White Sox were slugzed for 14 hits and plenty of runs. slabbing the Nationals could walked away with the final zame of the series in the Windy City, but the brand of flinging offered by the Cham- pions was worse than that set forth by the Hose Ogden essayed to check starting a game for the third time th season, and the season more than half gone, too.

CHICAGO, July 11.—Clark Griffith, president of the world champion Washington team, already has the 1925 pennant of the American League nailed to the flag pole, if his predic- tion made today holds together until the finish of the major league season. The president of the Nationals says, without reserve or qualification, that Washington has the best team in the American League. “Who's going to beat it?” was his own query. “There is no secret why win again. We have the best all around team in the league. It was the best in both leagues last year, so why shouldn't it be this year? We certainly are no weaker and T don't think the rest are any stronger. Critics have watched the Wash- ington hurling staff with some trepi dition, both on account of age and smaliness, but the chief of the Na tionals feels no alarr A glance at the reco said President Griftith, | most anybody that our pitchers have done pretty well so far. There is no son to think that our veterans will do any worse later on, and in the meantime a_youngster or two are im- proving. We have been playing a tight defensive game all around and no fault can be found with the i ting. We will repeat in our own | league and we will go out and nail | another world title.” President Griffith there is nothing the matter with Walter Johnson. The moral effect of Walter's absence would be hurtful to his mates, but at present, it is claimed, he is suffering from nothing | worse than a mild attack of tonsilitis. | As soon as he is in any kind of con dition he will pitch.
