Covey _ GRIFFMEN NEED VICTORY . FOR SEASON EVEN BREAK Sislermen’s 4-3 Win Gives Them 5-4 Game Edge in Campaign—Champs Have Grabbed Series Only From Red Sox and A’s This Year. ‘ BY JOHN B. KELLER, N an effort to even scores with the Browns for this season, Manager Stanley Harris was expecting to send to the hill for she Nationals this afternoon Stan Coveleskie, his veteran spit-baller. That 4-to-3 defeat yesterday in the opening tilt of the series of four scheduled here with the Browns left the Champs on the short end of a 5-to-4 game count for the year, a conditien not so satisfactory to the National pilot or his charges, , '00 many rivals hold a season advantage over the Nafionals thus far to please Boss Bucky. All opposing clubs except the Athletics and Red Sox have shaded the Harrismen in series. Not so long ago the two- time champions were able to boast of their superiority over all others, and while there is little hope among the ionals that they will be able_to do this at any time in the prescnt season, they are bent upon , getting a few outfits behind them this month that a first division berth might be gained, - Manager George Sisler used a for- mer National against the locals yes- terday, and he was likely to follow Win Ballou with another ex-Washing- ton pitcher today.

STANDING OF THE CLUBS. ing the Winter in exchange for a pair of -players who falled to benefit the Nationals, was mentioned by Sisler as his posible pitching choice this after- noon. It will be rcealled that Zach took great pleasure in subduing the Nationals in St. Louis during the 'E «club's disastrous tour last month. . 3 < Browns Deserved Victory. K <There was no reason why the Browns should not have won yester- |, day. | They took advantage of loose National flelding to get in front early in the fray, and later socked the ball savagely to break a tie and pile up more runs than the Nationals could match. Five pitchers were used by Harris. Dutch Ruether started, and Em!o Palmero finishing. Bill Mor- rell, Fred Marberry and Curly Ogden worked between this pair, and it was orrell who put the potential tallies on the runway in the decisive sixth. Marberry ‘was reached for the slam that sent the pair of Browns home. Aside from wildness, Ballou got along well until the eighth. 1In seven £mings he allowed five hits, but grant- ed six passes. When he faltered in the eighth, Ernie Wingard came to the rescue, and the Nationals quietly gave up. The Browns were unable to take savantage of a splendid scoring op- portunity offered ‘them in the open- ing inning. A couple of hits and & filled ‘the bases with one out, t Miller, after getting a three- and-one count, drilled into a double play with a grounder to Bluege. In the latter half of the frame the Nationals had runners on first and second ‘with one gone, but Sam Rice ginn.d sand Judge lined to Harry o Nationals Start Scoring.

Myer's fuml with one gone gave Melillo a life, and after Sisler whiffed McManus drew a pass. Miller’s single scored Mellilo and Harry Rice's drive to pllot, but Bucky merely desired to do some more experimenting with his outfield. Earl McNeely, who replaced Taylor, did not get a hit in_ five trips to the plate, although he twice right for a base counted McManus. Miller also tried to score on Harry's bingle, but was nipped at the plate. Ballou's wildness and a fluky bound of a batted ball combined to make e tying tally for the Nationals in ::o flgt‘h.‘ Onoym out when Ruether strolled.

A EW YORK, July 10—A champion never looks very much like a thampion when he is on the canvas, How he got there makes no difference. He looks bad, anyway. In'a fierce mixup in his fight with George Levine in New York last night, Pete Latzo, the welter cham- pion, went 1o the floor from a blow which he.claimed was low. The referee agreed with him, disqualified Levine and awarded the fight to the champion on a foul. This occurred in the fourth round.
