SPORTS = SPORTS | Recent Pace Should Land Griffs on Top : Dempsey Is “Through,” Friend Declares 23 WINS IN 39 CONTESTS LEFT OUGHT TO BEAT A’S Champions Pass Up Fine Chance to Gain on Macks When They Are Beaten, 1 to 0, by Tygers, in An Eleven-Inning Affair at Detroit. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ETROIT, August 22.—Ther¢ arc 39 more games on the Nationals’ schedule, and if through the remainder of the campaign they can hold to the pace they have followed since July 4, they are very apt to cop their second successive American League championship, Playing at approximately the rate they played from July 4 through yesterday, the Champions would win in 23 of their remaining engagements. That would e them a season record of 97 victories against 57 defeats. To beat t, the Athletics would have to win 26 of their remaining 41 contests. And that probably would be too big an order for them. The Nationals lost no ground in the race yesterday when they dropped a 1-to-0 game in 11 innings to the Tygers, for the A's were weil drubbed v the White Sox, but the end of the fight is not far enough away to permit the Champs to lose within a short time as many more games than their rivals as they had prior to the start of this final Western trip. That balance of defeats must at least be maintained through the next series with the Athletics if the Washington aggregation is to repeat. While the Mackmen have dropped five games in a row for the first time this season, they must not be regarded as “through.” They still can wallop the apple, and although their pitch- ers have been working in ragged man- ner recently, a temporary slump was to be expected. The hurling corps of the A's had much to do in the past month, and every man was “bearing down"” for all he was worth. They could not carry on forever. But it must be remembered that the Macks were knocked out of first place once before, and after flounder- ing through a couple of serles came back with a vengeance. Connie Mack has a good ball club that simply can- not be counted out ¢f the running until it is mathematically impossible for it to grab the flag. A sudden form reversal before this trip is much older would not be surprising. Griffs Had Most Chances. The Nationals passed up a splendid opportunity yesterday to increase their lead over the Philadelphians to two full games. Although Earl White. hill south-pawed in a remarkable way, the champs had many more chances to break into the scoring column in the first nine innings than Stanley Coveleskie gave the Tygers. During that time, the Tyger hurler allowed 7 hite and 5 passes against 10 hits and 2 passes, one of the walks being hand- =4 out intentionally. But consider how those hits and walks were distributed. Twice the Nationals had a runner 2t second base with but one out and another time they had a runner at third base with only ong out. But each time Whitehill proved too cun- ning for the immediate batters. Only once during the first nine frames did the Tygers have a runner in a favor- able scoring position with less than two out. That was in the ninth, when a single and a sacrifice put a runner at second. ;rlml',u :u:? gfiode Covey was during the regulation tim n the l‘\lu extra rounds Whitehill as master. e found the Nats a fle troublesome in the tenth, but asy in the eleventh, while Covey, ter a smooth tenth inning, left eleventh after the first man to him knocked a triple to right field. Fred Marberry then was called to the hill and he followed a couple of strategic passes-that filled the bases with an unintentional frank that ended hostilities. Best Opportunity in Sixth. The best chance the Nationals had o get the game cropped up in the sixth inning. Joe Harris began the round by fanming, but Goose Goslin beat out a grounder to deep short and while Earl McNeely was at bat set for second base. The Goose sllld in safely and when John Bassler's poor peg caromed off him to left cen- ter scrambled to his feet and con- tinued to the third sack. Bob Fothergill, trying to retrieve the sphere, booted it instead. Al Schacht, coaching at third base, noticed the kick and waived Goslin on, but for some unknown reason the big fellow slid into the base and when he had recovered his feet that scoring chance was gone. Wingo had recovered the sphere and the Goose had to stick at the far corner. Still, there was some hope of his get- ting home as only one was out, but McNeely etood at attention while Whitehill shoved second and third strikes across and Ossie Bluege also kept his bat on his shoulder while the Tyger hurler shot a third one through the heart of the plate to end the eession Had Bases Full in Third. The Champs had the bases filled with +we out in the third, passes to the Harpis boys having followed Muddy Ruel’s single, but Goslin, after knock- ing a foul liner to the right field screen, whiffed. opened the fifth inning with a , but was snared off first before Covey singled and after Rice fouled out, Bucky Harris forced out Covey. In the seventh, Peck doubled and Ruel strolled, but Covey's bunt forced Peck at third base und the next two batters were helpless. A pass and a sacrifice put Ruel at second in the ninth. only to be doubled off that bug Eurke speared Rice’s liner. B Harris walked in the tenth 2 Harris pop- bunted to to steal. Goslin followed Bucky's demise first_inning, but Tave- ner, who started the frame with one of them, was caught trying to swipe cecond just before Burke fouled out That made hits by Wingo and Fother- gill go for Sweeney. Tygers Threaten in Fighth. ~ot until the eighth did the Tygers get their first runner to third base. With two out, Burke singled and ached the far corner when Wingo cked a one-baser. Manush batted for Fothergill and rolled to Moon Harris. Tn the ninth. Heilmann singled and Rlue sacrificed. Cobb, who batted in Tones' place, was intentionally passed. Bassler obligingly drilled into a two- ply killing. After Wingo began the Tyger Jieventh with a triple over Rice's head, the intentional pass falled to work. Handing two of them to Manush and Heilmann got Marberry so into the habit of flinging 'em wide that he walked Blue, forcing Wingo home with the big marker. WILLIAMS WINS BOUT.

In spite of the absence of their leader, Tris Speaker, who is out of the game as the result- of an accident, being struck on the arm by a pitched ball, the Indians put over a 21 victory against the Yankees ves- terday. Jamieson scored both runs for Cleveland on hits by Summa.

JUDGE NOT BADLY INJURED, BUT IS OUT TILL TUESDA D ETROIT, August 22—With Joe Judge, regular first-sacker, tem- | porarily out of action, as a result of being hit in the head by one | of Earl Whitehill's pitches yesterday, the Nationals are weakened to a greater extent than might be supposed. The absence of the initial sack guardian forces the transfer of Moon Harris from right field to that sack for a time and the use of Earl McNeely in center field when the opposition is employing left-hand pitch- ing talent. Although Moon does a fairly good Job at first basing, he lacks both the speed and finesse of a Judge and un- balances the infield to a considerable degree. With McNeely in the regular batting order, the Nationals attack is woefully weakened, for Earl has not been hitting “his weight” recently. Judge s not expected to return to the game until the series with the Browns starts in St. Louls next week. He was soundly whacked on the top of his head when he came to bat in the second inning and fell to the ground unconscious. _ Within five minutes, he revived sufficiently to get on his feet, but had to be assisted from the fleld and, was removed to . 's Hospital. S‘A.%:;}I'O‘rlph taken there revealed no trace of fracture and surgeons, after and exhaustive examination, an- nounced that there was no concussion. The injury was extremely painful and shocking, however, and it was deemed best to have Judge remaln in the hos- pital until Monday, when he is to|B leave with the club. Judge explained that he was unable to dodge Whitehill's pitch as he had set himself to swing at & curve ball and the Tygers delivered a fast one. “When I saw it was not going to break, it was too late to duck, hg eaid later, “and then came the stars. Whitehill and the other Tyger play ers rushed to Judge's assistance, &s soon as he fell and were very golicit- ous as to his welfare later. It developed late yesterday that the Nationals had been forbidden to em- ploy Bobby Veach in a game until Ban Johnson, league president, had an op- portunity to look into_the record of his transfer from the Yankees to the Nationals by the waiver route. It seemed that President Griffith of the champlons did not put in « claim for Veach until the tenth and last flfly left him for such action after the New York club had asked walyers. Then Manager Huggine of the Yanks had to get in telephone communication with Col. Ruppert, New York owner, and that was not done until the fol- lowing day. However, President John- son decided that the deal was con- summated in good faith and yesterday wired Griffith that the ationals might use Veach when they saw fit. So Bobby will go to left field, while Goslin will play center and Rice right when the champs stack up against right-hand flinging if Manager Harris' plans are followed Bucky Harris played a brilliant game at second base vesterday. He handled cleanly all of his 13 chances, and several of them were well above the ordinary. His stop of Tavener's smash back of second base in the tenth was a marvel, and so was the long retiring throw that followed. Wingo was in a hitting mood. Be- fore getting his triple off Covey in the eleventh the red-thatched Tyger slammed a brace of singles. Fothergill seemed quite “peeved’ when replaced at bat by Manush in the eighth. The barrel-chested Tyger threw his cap into the dust and eround it with his heel when told by Cobb he was through for the day. McNeely, who ran for Judge after the latter was hurt, then went to the 1d when Moon Harris was sent base, hud a terrible time at Twice he let third strikes whiz while keeping his bat on_his houlder, lifted an eusy fly to Heil- mann once and in his last appearance at the plate dribbled the ball to Haney at third. In the seventh inning Fothergill came in speedily for a great catch of Rice's looper. Nationals were on first time. Walter Johnson was due to slab for the champs this afternoon. Cobb may send Ken Hollowa$ to the mound. He beat the Nationals the last time he faced them. and second with two out at the| BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS | AMERICAN LEAGUE. | Washington . { Philadelphia | Chieago .
