It seems days. over Champs, after bagging five of home stand of the season, fell before That loss started them on but three and tied in one of a dozen contests, a record that has dropped them from second to fifth place in the American League standings. s The tumble into the second divi sion came yesterday, when the Na- tionals were defeated for the third consecutive time by the Athletics in a 3-to-2 battle. . The Nationals now are reduced to even terms with the Macks in their season serfes. Early campaign con- flicts gave the Champs a fine ad- vantage over their Philadelphia rivals, the count being six games to three in thelr favor after less than three weeks af tilting.

If it is to be an important factor in the contest, it must strike a strong stride soon. In most of the losses, starting with |J. that to the Browns on May 14, poor pitching more than anything else has hurt.

Brooklyn again is in the first division and the St. Louis Cardinals drop a place. St. Louis fell before Cincinnati twice yesterday, 4 to 3 and 2 to 1. Brooklyn, after losing three straight to the New York Giants, took half of a double bill at Philadelphia. Donohue carried the Reds to its first victory of the afternoon. Mays sub- marined his way to a conquest in the second. Mitchell left-handed excellent ball in nings, a fumble by Red Wingo in the left field giving the White Sox the decision, 5 to 4.

He needed but one niore to tie the American League rec- ord set by Fred Hartman of the White Sox in 1801 and since equaled by Hobe Ferris, Terry Turner, Oscar Vitt, Buck Weaver, Bob Jones and ‘Willie Kamm. On the Washington side Myer had an unusually easy day at shortstop. He had but 1 putout and 1 assist. Dutch Ruether has gone to Roch ester to learn what's wrong with his | nortside pitching wing. The hurler will submit to the ministrations of a masseur popular with the diamond athletes. Club officials here have been unable to ascertain whether Dutch’s aflment is mental or physical. They are giving the pitcher the benefit of the doubt, though, and trust he will rejoin the Nationals ready to give a good account of himself. Although no game was scheduled today, the Champs were to get a workout at Clarak Grifith Stadium. Manager Harris naturally is more than eager to put his club on its feet once more.
