SPORTS. Griffs Confident of Retaining SCHEDULE AHEAD FAVOR THEM MORE THAN MACKS A’s Facing Flock of Duble-headers, While Champs Have But Two to Play—Harrismen Show Grit in Beating Tribe, 1 to 0, in 12 Rounds.

C, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21, 1925. WHITE SOX AROUSED AS THEY By the Aseociated Press CHICAGO, August 21.— Cruc National League series opening in New York today has a parallel In Chi- cago between the second and third place teams, Philadelphia and Chi- cago, fighting to wrest leadership from the world chanipion Washing- tons. . A week ago the Chicago White Sox were 11 games behind the Philadel- phia and Washington teams, but the slump of the Athletics at St. Louis and five Chigago victories in the last elves so firmly in that position that | to regain the coveted berth in the | | six games have brought the Sox within eight games and raised the hopes of the local fans to high pitch. ‘Washington is on top by but one game for the third time since July 4, but Cleveland fought them for 12 in- two-game series to be played by the clubs in Washington Srp\emhrrlmnx! before admitting defeat 1and 2. If the Champs strengthen their during this jaunt through the West, they more than likely will battle through to a second successive league championship. The schedule favors them more than the A's through the headers galore ahead, while the Nationals have but two listed—one of them with their arch rivals on Labor day. In September the Western clubs will offer the main contenders the same oposition, but of the Eastern lot the Macks will draw the seemingly reju- Yankees while the Nationals apping with the ragged Red Then there will between the fonals and the Ath Jetics, and so far the Nationals cer- tainly have enjoved their clashes with the team of the City Brotherly Love. If the class of base ball they played in Cleveland is a fair indication of W may be expected of the cham- ns during the remainder of the trip through this section of the league, they will not lose any of the ground they have gained so far, even if they do not widen the gap now existing be- tween them and the A’s.

But the Nationals stuck to their task grimly and fully deserved what they got. Jez Zachary, southpaw, who started on the slab for the Nationals, pitched as well as he had at any other time this season—and there have been sev- occasions, notably that nt game in which he held the Tygers to four safeties. that Zach has performed in remarkable manner. During the ght innings he toiled before giving way to a pinch batter he granted but five singles and issued but one pass. Tribe Balked in Opener. Only once during his term on the slab did the Indians have a really good scoring chance. That was in the first inning, when with one gone Lee scratched a single past Bluege and Speaker strolled. Joe Sewell's retire- ment moved both runners forward, but Burns proved an easy out. Thereafter_the only Indian to get as far as second base while Zach was on the hill was Burns. He singled with one out in the seventh and reached the middle statign as Peck, after snagging Spurgeon’s pop, made a bum chuck when trying to double Burns off first base 3ut in the meantime Walter Miller, “the Tribe’s clever young portsider, was fiinging _masterfully. He was well socked, but the socks never were made at oppogune moments. In the first eight frames he was found for eight hits and three bases on balls. But whenever the Nationals had a scoring chance he was so good in his work that they could not get the ball beyond the infield. Griff’s Early Chances Snuffed. In the third inning, with Peck out of the way, Severeid made the first of his three safeties of the game, a_double t. But Zachary cvounded to Jos ell and Rice rolled Spurgeon One was out in the fourth when Moon Harris walked and pilfered second base. Goslin's scratch single | sent Moon to third, but Judge fanned | and ( lin, who had taken a long lead | off the initial suck, was caught by Luke Sewell's snap to Burns. | With one gone in the ffth, singles | by Peck and Severeid put Natfonals | on first and third bases. Zachary | grounded feebly to Burns, who | touched first has then tossed to the | catcher, who ran down Peck on the home stretch. One was out eral in the sixth when | Bucky Harris singled and Moon Harris walked. But Goslin popped to Spurgeon and Judge grounded to the | second baseman Pair of Singles Wasted. After Bluegs opened the seventh inning with a loft to Speaker, Peck | singled and was sent to the middle statlon by Severeid’s one-baser. All Zach could do was force out Severeid with a hounder to Joe Sewell and | Rice sent a short fly to Speaker. i It was in the ninth that Miller rose to his greatest heights. Bluege began the frame by singling between Hodapp and Joe Sewell and raced to third when Peck followed with a onebaser down the left field line. With Severcid, who had hit safely three times, at bat, it seemed that a score was certain. But Hank grounded to Burns and Bluege was run down easily, although not be- fore Peck reached third base and Severeid second Zach's batting efforts had heen so poor that Walter Johnson was sent fn to swat for the left-hander. Wal- ter swung at the first pitch and drib- bled the ball to Hodapp. Peck was snuffed out so quickly that Johnson had not time to make second on the rundown, although Severeld did man- age to reach third base. But it meant nothing, for Rice tapped the ball to the plicher and was erased at the initial sack. Marberry Goes to Slab. Marberry assumed the pitch- of which Zach had been while the first man to face him in the Tribe’s ninth hit him safely, a double-play offset that blow | after the second batter had lifted to| the outfield. Fritz matched Miller’s | £o0d work in the tenth, but got him- self into trouble In the eleventh. Miller began that round for the Indians by Slamming a clean single to left field. Jamieson forced out the pitcher with a grounder to Peck that was too slow to permit Bucky Harris, who took the ball from the shortstop, to attempt a double killing. Lee eased the situation by fanning, but Mar- herry quickly made it worse by Rit- ting Speaker on the arm and slamming the ball into Luke Sewell's ribs, filling the bases. Burns, sixth man up in the inning, let the first pitch to him go by for a strike, then Fred heaved a wide one. The Indian fouled off the third pitch and Marberry took plenty of time preparing to deliver the fourth. He was so deliberate in his effort that Jamieson set sail for home, but Burns failed to move out of the runner's path and Jamieson missed the plate with his slide. He scrambled to his feet quickly, only to be tagged Fred ing burden relieved, and be six games|S. in toppling the Indians, but their |} D‘vbifl‘}y. 2 fnl out by Severeid.

Joe Harris made it seem more certain when he fouled to Burns, but Goslin came to the rescue of his mates on the paths with a slash to left that put Rice over the final block. The Indians used Uhle as a pinch batter after Burns fouled to Judge in the latter part of the 12th, but he rolled to Peck, and the best Hodapp could glean off Marberry was a bounder to Bucky Harris.
