Griffs Must Brace or Drop in Race : Decisive Beatings Recorded in Recent Series NATS ARE PLAYING AT FAR FROM CHAMPIONSHIP PACE More Cohesive Defense and More Concerted Attack Essential for Leaders—Lose Series to Browns by Dropping Final, 14 to 3. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, July 15—Six more games in this sector and the Nationals will be through with the West until late next month, but these six engagements are of prime importance. The record of their visits to Chicago and Louis during the past eight days is nothing for the world champions to brag about, and if they would return East with a substantial lead over the Athletics smarter and more spirited playing must be done in Detroit and Cleveland. So far, the champions have been playing anything but championship base ball in the West. The machine so fine last month when everything was in smooth working order, now refuses to function properly with spare parts replacing main cogs undergoing repairs. Unless a more cohe- sive defense and a more concerted attack is quickly effected by the Na- tionals they are likely to run into disaster before leaving this section of the circuit. The White Sox Browns are too far race to merit serious consideration as contenders for lace, although they are formidahle opponents in bat- | tle, but the Athletics, dispossessed of the leading position by the Nation- | BIUgge. 3b.... als last month, are stently cling- | Goslin, "I, " ing to the heels of the latter, and still | .

The pilot of the world- champions did not like Russell’s attitude to- ward his work yesterday and de- cided that drastic disciplinary ac- tion was necessary.
