October 4, when the American League championship campaign is duc to end, is some day considering the difference between th the main title contenders at present, The differenge in standing on paper does not seem formidable and it would not he were the Nationals to retarn to the playing form they flashed prior to July 4. Through that day they had played at a .671 winning but since they have won just games played. Any ball club may be expected to slump, but when « champion ball club falls into a slump and fails to snap out of it within a month, that two-game difference does not look any too good. The slump of the Champious has been attributed to various causes, gen- erally to the putrid pitching they have been offering at most times during the past month. However, there were times last year when the moundsmen were rather ineffective, yet at those times the club managed to offset a great déal of that ineffectiveness with a sturdy defense and lightning attack. Fail to Hit in Pinches. Such has not been the .case within the past few weeks. The defense has been sturdy only in spots and too fre quently fielders have gone wpol gather- ing at critical moments. Nor has any lightning_attack marked the games of the Nationals. They have been hitting hard, as their team batting average of more than .300 indicates, but they have not been hitting oppor- tunely. The Champs probably have | been getting as many men on the| paths as any other club in the circuit, but they certainly have not been get- ting many of them to the final block. They were offered several golden | opportunities yesterday in the game| with the Tygers, but failed to take| any great advantage of them. Ken- neth Holloway, right-hander, who adorned the mound for the Cobbmen and who now tops the American League pitching list by virtue of his win over the Champs, was kndcked or eight safeties and also passed four battes But the Nationals were unable to sunch blows in any inning expect the seventh, when they got but one tally from two singles and a double. And only once did they follow a walk with a hit.

On the former the crews of the two river organiza- | tions will attend the annual Silver| Lake regatta staged by the Chamber | of Commierce of Balmar, J.; two weeks later the national canoe cham.- | plonghips at Burlington, N.

The lo-| cals also plan to have representation in the canoe event appearing on the| program of the joint regatta of the Corinthian and_Capital Yacht Clubs, scheduled for the Potomac course. As no place has yet been named for the staging of the annual regatta of the Delaware-Chesapeake division of the American Canoe Racing Assocla- tion, slated for Labor day. it is the be- lief of the District clubmen that the event will be abandoned in favor of the more popular New Jersey meets. Invitations have been received here for the Tuscarora Canoe Club races| at Newark, N. J.. September 19, but| it is hardly likely that the Potomacs| and Washingtons will care to partici- pate at &0 late a date. Capital City paddlers have been out- classing all competition thus far this | season. At the Peoples regatta on| Independence day and at Edgewater Park, N.
