Nationals’SlumplsAll-Embracing : American League Race May Be Toss-up to End NEW RING CHAMPION LEADERSHIP MAY CHANGE INCLUDES WORK AT BAT ON DEFENSE AND MORALE Seem Content to Lose So Long as Mackmen Do Likewise and Enable Them to Retain Lead. Gaston Slow-Balls Them Into Submission. BY JOHN B. KELLER. T. LOUIS, August 26—After starling with a rush this final Western tour of the vear, the Nationals have slumped dismally, and for no apparent rcason. They backed good pitching with timely batting and clever fielding to win five of the first six games during the trip. Then suddenly the pitchers lose their cunning. the battsmen are unable to bat, and, strangest of all, the Champs falter badly afic'd. The Nationals looked bad enough when they took that terrible lacing at Detroit on Monday. They looked much worse vesterday when thrased, 8 to 2. by the Browns in the initial engagement of the series here.

The Pittsburgh Pirates, fresh from | their sweeping victory over New York, ran into cross-currents at Bos. ton. where the Braves, fighting to emerge from the cellar, tossed back the pennant-bound eraft, 2 to 1, and climbed seventh place. A Giant cast-off, Jess Barnes, limited the Pittsburgh outfit to six hits as President Barney Drey- fuss, coming to the Hub for the third time since 1908 to see his men per: form. viewed his entry in defeat. The New York Giants gave notice that they were still in the fizht by two demonstrations of belligerency. While they were thrusting back the challenge of Cincinnati. 7 to 6, and cutting Pittsburgh’'s lead to five zames, Ross Young flared up at Pitcher Donohue after being hit on the arm with a pitched ball bhox and aimed a return blow at the hurler, hut Umpire Quigley turned the diamond into a temporary gridiron by | tackling the Giant plaver at the knees. lifting him in his arms, and then banishing him from the park along with Donohue.

Those qualities are likely to win them the championship flag of the Golden. Jubilee year of the National Leaguc. From a purely sentimental vicwpoint alone, Barney Dreyfuss would rather win this year's pennant than any other in the National League’s histofy. Not that he would turn down a pennant any time, but under the skin of this fragile owner, who has fought for base ball honors and his own health at the same time for the last five or six years, there is more 18-carat enthusiasm than in any other National League owner. He is a rabid fan, who knows more [ delphia or Washington. They are “dope’ about ball pkiyers than the [not voicing that opinion now. After watching the Pirates in the serles against New York they are sanguine of National League success and they are particularly anxious to win the championship this year, be- cause they think it would round out most satlstactorily the fiftieth anni versary, which will be concluded with one grand war whoop in New York next February.
