In Two Games Today. Although the Athletics within the past two days have reduced by one full game the lead the Nationals hold in the race for the pennant, the latter still are seven games in front and are sure that the fizht will be concluded next week. They were expecting to strengthen their position today in a double-header with the White Sox, the club they defeated vesterday, 10 to b, in the opening clash of a four-game series. The Nationals slugged their way to success in the initial engagement of the set. Seventeen hits were made at the expense of two of the visiting pitchers. Dick Kerr, facing the Champs for the first time since he was reinstated in the American League, was shelled off the hill in the sixth session, leaving thirteen hits, four runs and filled bases behind him. George Connally was reached for four | hjts that netted six more tallies. lis Thurston, who toiled in the eighth for the Sox, escaped damage. Two pitchers had to be used by the Champs. . ierg: arted on the slab, and twirled splendidly for seven innings. All the Chisox got in that time were five bingles. But Alex stag- mered in the eighth when the visitors bumped him for four safeties and as many markers and fell by the wayside in the ninth when nicked for three essive swats and a run. Marberry me to the box with one out and two runners on. He issued a pass to fill the bases, then took the next two| batters over the jumps. | Seore in Five Innings. | The Champs tallied in five of their | eight turns at ba gistering their | 1fst score in the opening inning.

Secretary Sam Watters sald at the same time that on days of games, practically 10,000 non-re- served seats will be avallable at Forbes Field. A’S ADMINISTER TWO DRUBBINGS TO TYGERS NEW YORK, September 19 (#).— Most major league clubs were closely bunched today, with the Pirates and Washington continuing their trium- phant march toward the bunting in the National and American circuits respectively. Four Boston pitchers fell under a barrage of 18 hits from the Bucca- neers, who registered a 9-to-7 victory. The Giants topped the Cubs, 8 to 3. The Cardinals strengthened their grip on the fourth rung by turning out a 9to5 victory over Brooklyn, Dazzy Vance, Robins’ star twirler, was replaced by Brown im the'eighth in- ning when St. Loulsyscored seven runs. Vance's ineffectiveness was caused by a sore finger on his pitch- ing hand. The Cards are one game in front of Brooklyn. Philadelphia trounced the Reds, § to 1, Willoughby beating Donohue in a pitching duel. The World Champions easily disposed of the White Sox, but a double victory for the Athletics over the Tygers, 4 to2 and 7 to 3, enabled the Mackmen to gain half a game. Cleveland made sixth place more secure against the Yankees by coming out on the long end of a 6 to b score in Boston. The Indians have a two- game margin on the Hugmen. Bob Meusel's twenty-ninth homer of the year and Babe Ruth'’s twentieth four-bagger helped New York to de- feat the Browns, 4 to 2. McManus of St. Louis broke the Yankees’ pitchers’ record of 42 consecutive earned run- less innings by slamming his thir- teenth circuit drive of the year in the sixth. PRINTERS TAKE GAME ON FORD’S HOME RUN Chestnut Farms Dairy dropped into third place in Section A of the Week- day League's play-off yesterday when Tommy Ford’s circuit clout in the seventh inning of the game between the Urion Printers and the Commer- cial League champions gave the Typos a 7-to5 victory. Headquarters Marines still are lead- ing the loop with two victories in three starts, while the Printers have a .500 average for two games, and Chestnut Farms has won but a sin- gle clash in three attempts. Ford’s long drive over the left cen- ter fence at Washington Terminal field came when the count stood 6 to 4 for Chestnut Farms and two Printer runners were on.the sacks. Darkness caused a halt in hostilities at the end of the session. The Typos are scheduled to play on Monday and Tuesday, Chestnut Farms tossers being their opponents Monday and the Marines testing their strength in the final game of the series- prior to the play-off for the title, , Southend Juniors, leaders in the champlonship race of the Washington Base Ball and Athletic Association, will tackle the Corinthians and the Clovers tomorrow in a double-header at the Monument Grounds. The opener is slated for 1 o'clock. ‘With Wirtley Scruggs on the mound, the Thomson playground nine out- classed Park View, 4 to 1. The Thom- son team tackles the Plaza combina- tlon Monday at 5 o'clock. Everett Scott Insects trounced the Connte Mack Insects and the Mack Juniors and also claim a forfeit over the former. The Scotts now have won 13 out of 15 starts and have a winning streak of 7 games. POST-SEASON_ SERIES. Spartanburg (S. A. League). 8. 15. Blch- mond (Va. League). Griffs Need One Win to Clinch Season Series With _thite Sox season series advantages over all league rivals except the Browns. Q NOTHER victory over the White Sox and the Nationals will hold That win yesterday was the eleventh for the Champs in 19 engage- ments with the Chisox this year. The Browns, who are to play three games Here next week, have been defeated by Bucky Harris and company 10 times in 19 starts. A 12-to-10 advantage was gained over the Tygers, when they were drubbed in the second part of Thurs- day's double-header. The Yankees, who are not to be encountered again this year, were beaten in 15 games, while the Athletics, Red Sox and In- dian series have been clinched. Credited with success yesterday, Alex Ferguson maintained his place at the top of the National pitching corps. He has won 4 games and lost 1, Coveleskie is in second place with 19 wins against 5 defeats and John- son in third with 20 victories against 7 losses. Manager Harris was the victim of a new American League rule yester- day, when chased to the clubhouse by Umpire Connolly in the seventh in- ning. Ban Johnson has ordered that any player removed from 4 game must retire from his club’s bench im- mediately. Harris, believing the order did not apply to playing managers, re- mained in the dugout to watch the game after yielding his position at second base to Recruit Stewart. But Connolly insisted that Harrls must leave Rice, Moon Harris and Severeid fat. tened their batting marks. After walk- ing the first time he stepped to the plate, the first named got four suc- cessive singles. Moon got four singles and a pass and in five times at bat Hank got three singles. The catcher's double was the only extra-base blow made by a National. Goslin was knocked to the ground by one of Kerr's pitches in the first inning. The ball landed against the Goose's left arm and bruised it severe- Iy. In the third inning the Sox did some foolish tossing, but the Nationals got little out of it. When Moon Harris singled to left, Goslin turned the sec- ond sack, then stopped: Falk careless- ly heaved to the middle station and Leon sprinted to third. Mostil took Jeanes’ loft so near the infleld that the Goose had no chance to try for home, but Johnny threw to Schalk and ding International League club to §:ul§, N. J., and the shifting of the Prgvidence to Reading were decided 'upgn a meeting of circuit officials. Moon Harris easily made second base. Barrett made a great throw from deep right after flelding Bucky Har single in the fourth Inning to get Rice trying to run'from first base to third. The ball bounded into Kamm's hands a fraction of a second before Rice slid into the sack. Scott played shortstop for * the Champs yesterday and was expected to do so again today. Peck turned an ankle in making a play in Thurs- day’s double-header, and though not seriously hurt was ordered to rest for a day or two. EL DORADO DUCKPINNERS OPEN CAMPAIGN TONIGHT Eight teams of the EI Dorado bowling circuit will start their season tonight at King Pin No. 1 alleys.

N /\_« Your Old Hat flade New Again Cleaning, lmu?l and Remodeling by perts. Vienna Hat Co. 400 11th Street MAJORS MAY BE WITHOUT THIRTY-VICTORY TWIRLER BY JOHN B. FOSTER. N EW YORK, ‘September 19.—As the major league season nears its close without a 30-victory pitcher in sight, it looks as if endurance pitching is becoming a lost art. Had Walter Johnson not been stricken with illness he might have made the 30 mark. Rommel faltered when the season began to hit the down grade. Vance might have made the mark had he not started like a green turtle taking a sun bath, and for the others, there was little chance. It is a cold-blooded manager who will gamble enough to give a pitcher a chance to win 30 games these days, and it is a tough-armed citizen who can last long enough in 30 shows to win them. Besides that the pitching business is split and scattered. Just the other afternoon old Jack Chesbro pitched a game up in New Endland. He holds the American League record for victories in one sea- son, numbering 41, and even, now, at his age, he pitched well against the rival team that faced him in the Au- tumn sun. Modern pitchers have reached the point where they think pretty well of themselves if they'twirl for only a few innings. Dazzy Vance has pitched more com- plete games this season than any other moundsman, and it is a good bet that he will finish the year at the top of the list for hard work. That simply means that Dazzy's manager has confidence that his big pitcher can go the route. Johnson is going well, but he will hardly be able to reach the record of Vance. Next to Dazzy, in the National, are Rixey and Donohue, and both promise to de bet- ter than any American League hurler in this respect. If a team wins the champlonship by 95 games, which is something of a standard these days, a 30-victory pitcher wins nearly a third of the whole, Pitchers of the type that Connie Mack had with Bender-Coombs-Plank combinations, or McGraw, with Matheson - McGinnity - Wiltse - Ames quartet, would probably wi n apennant by 100 games these days and create a base ball sensation. Unless the Washingtons get an im- mediate hump on themselves next week, they will have to win the cham- plonship on the Boston grounds. The Pittsburghers are more likely to see their pennant won at home than the Washington fans. A lot of cash is going to change hands in the East because of Pitts- burgh’s slim chance of winning 100 games. When the Pirates were boom- ing along with their lee rail well under water, National League backers put up considerable money on their passing the century mark. MISS EDERLE COLLAPSED, TRAINER WOLFFE INSISTS By the Associated Press. 5 B RIGHTOX England, September 19.—Jabez Wolffe, trainer of Miss Gertrude Ederle, today denied her allegations that she was taken from the water during her recent attempt to swim the English channel when she was still able to go on with her effort. “At the sixth hour of .the swim,” he said, “Miss Ederle complained of a cramp and I begged her to carry on a little longer to see if she would recover from. it. At the eighth hour she was suffering intense agony, purely owing to lack of condition. After 8 hours and 45 minutes she collapsed.

North 2707—North “I gave no instructions for Helmy (the Egyptian swimmer) to touch her, but from the human point of view, as there was a risk of her being drown- ed, Helmy went to her aid. I was standing by on a small boat and im- mediately got to her and put the life- saving apparatus on her, as she was unconscious. “‘Her statements are quite untrue. I take it her story meant to cover her non-compliance with my repeated ef- forts to get her to train. It was evi- dent both to the French and English observers that her training consisted mainly of sitting about and playing the ukulele. “One has only to observe the plc- tures of her collapse in the waters to see that she was incapable of making any further effort. Handley, Miss Ederle's coach, was not present, and Miss Viets, her attendant, was on a tug about 80 yards away at the time of the collapse and therefore not in a position to judge Miss Ederle's con- dition. “I am of the opinion that had Miss Ederle followed my instructions and not been interfered with by her coach and other advisers she would have succeeded in swimining the channel. I still think she is capable of doing so, if she is properly trained.” On her arrival in New York Fri- day, Miss Ederle asserted that she would have kept on swimming and that there was no truth in the story that she collapsed. She added that Helmy was swimming with her and that she was going strong when Wolfe suddenly shouted: “Grab her!” “Of course,” Miss Ederle sald, “as soon as Helmy touched me I was dis- qualified. Miss Ederle declared that ehe did not know whether she would have got across the channel, but asserted again that she could have gone farther. She said she felt sure she could accom- plish the feat in another try and under better weather conditions. BOULOGNE, France, September 19 (#).—T. W. Burgess, who took over the training of Gertrude Ederle after her break with Jabez Wolffe, today said that at the time the American girl was taken from the water on her channel attempt he felt that she was in actual difficulty. In fact, if he had been closer to her he would have himself gone to her assistance. On the other hand, Joseph Costa, who managed Miss Ederle’'s attempt as well as those of several other channel aspirants, thought she had a chance to continue, when Helmy, the Egyptian swimmer, touched her and indicated that the trial was over. “If left alone perhaps she would have recovered and she might have gone another half hour,” M. Costa sald. FORT WORTH REPEATS.
