SURE GRIFFS DURING LONG HOME STAY “Expects Nationals to Give Mackmen Setback in Clashes Here This Week and Is Sanguine They Will Beat Pirates in Big Series.

However, “as I have written before, we have «their number when the two clubs get together. * While the American League race Still is a close one, the Pirates appar ently have gained a winning ad vantage over the Giants. The New York club has a mathematical chance “to win another pennant, but Pitts. .burgh now has what should prove a commanding lead. The Giants will go down with their boots on, how- ever, and *finish of it. Says Griffs Can Beat Pirates. The Pirates made themselves fa- vorites in the struggle when they beat the New York club in four of sfive games at the Polo Grounds. The _Giants were counting on taking this serfes and breaking the hearts of Bill McKechnie's players. The over- whelming victory in the late series «certainly has filled the Pirates with confidence. It seems almost impos- sible to stop them now. Pittsburgh fans, I understand, already are making plans to see the world series between their club and ‘Washington. We have played the "Pirates in an exhibition game this «season and they beat us. But it will be a different story if we meet in the “world series. Few of the Pirates have had world series experience. Only four men on the Pitisburgh roster have taken part in these post-season contests. Babe ‘Adams tops the list, for he was a ¢ even vet make a close WILL BRACE our From now on we ought to hit our championship ball of which we are fact that we had a bad slump. .

We will be back home this week for a long sta Last season we | closed our campaign on the road and had a lot of rough sledding, as the fans will recall. We wind up this| vear on hcme grounds, and that | should give us an advantage. We play all the clubs in the league at Griffith Stadium, except the Yankees. We finished our games with them | | for the vear before starting on the present trip. We will open our home stand with the Athletics, playing them Tuesday and Wednesday. I know every loyal fan in the District will turn out to root for the Washington club in | those games. It helps a club a lot to have the:home fans pulling hard for_victory. | , Those two games, I believa, will re- sult in the Washington club giving | Philadelphia a setback from which | the Mackmen will not be able to re- | cover. We will be out to win both contests.

And Haynes says: ““It .took encouragement from his companions to keep him at the rod, as he tried to resign several times dur- ing the hour-long battle. And I know of anglers, and one is about my size, and they call him Bill Haynes, who have fished those seas every Winter for 10 yvears without ever getting a strike from a Marlin.

WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 30, 1925—SPORTS SECTION. MAD PLAY, POMPEY ANNEX RICH STAKES SARATOGA SPRINGS, N. T, August 29 (P).—Two feature events topped the closing race card of the season' here today. W. R. Coe's 2- year-old bay colt, Pompey, captured the $50,000 Hopeful stakes, while the Rancocas entry, Mad Play, romped away with_the Saratoga cup. Pompey, by Sun Briar-Cleopatra, negotiated the 633 furlongs in 1.17 4- breaking the track record by 1 and 2 seconds. The time was only three- fifths of a second behind the Amer- ican record for the distance. Four lengths hehind Pompey came W. J. Salmon’s Flight of Time, which finished three lengths in front of W. A Harriman's Chance Play. Canter 'was fourth, Macaw fifth and Black Maria sixth. Pompey, Laverne Fator up, car- ried top weight of 127 pounds and was coupled with Black Maria as the Shoshone stable entry. Flight of Time was bracketed with Powhatan as the Salmon entry. Pompey's share of the stakes amounted to $42,850. \ The Saratoga .cup, for 3-year-olds and upward, had only three starters. Mad Play, favorite, was in the lead all the way and won, by two lengths from Bud Fisher's Swope. Flames, owned by L. T. Cooper, was next, eight lengths distant. Mad Play cov- ered the mile and three-quarters in 259 2-5. The winner's share in the race was $6,900.

Johnston ywas found gullty by the Supreme of withholding $1,200 due the Government as its share of a fight in 1923. Arraigned before Federal Judge Atwell for sentence, Johnston pleaded that an immediate sentence would interfere with a “worthy charity” and asked for a postponement. 5 Vi well,” answered Judge At- ivell, “I don't want to interfere with' a charitable enterprise.
