BY JOHN road, the Nationals are on their way home for a brief stand in Griffith Stadium. PITTSBURGH. Pa., July 22.—Following their three weeks on the playing all the western club: Chicago’s White Sox, who, by days than they did when the Nationals first encountered them in May, are to be the first visitors during the home stand. They are to open a three-game series tomorrow afternoon in Washington. Prob- ably Garland Braxton, southpaw, pitching cheice for the Tuesday tilt. _After the White Sox, the In- dians, Browns and Tigers will visit Washington in the order mentioned. The Cleveland crew will play three games in Griffith Stadium and the St. Louis and Detroit clubs will play four each. - The Tigers are to start their set with a double header on Saturday, August 3, as they have the rained out game of June 8 to play off. Although the Nationals still ‘are play- ing in-and-out base ball, Manager Johnson is rather confident they will make a braver showing at home during the next two weeks than they did dur- ing the long stand in Griffith Stadium in June. Then they dropped 8 of 15 engagements with the Western outfits. Johnson’s optimism perhaps is due to the performance of his club during the past week. The Nationals really did rlay impressively against the White Sox | and the Browns. Improved at Bat. ‘The Naticnals have improved to some xtent at bat recently, but while gain- ing in offensive they have weakened in defense. The young infleld, now being used while Ossie Bluege and Joe Judge are on the shelf with injuries, isn't working so smoothly, It was quite sieve-like during the last series in St. Louis. ing his troubles at shortstop these days and his erring play has affected Jack Hayes' work on the other side of the middle sack. Harley Boss is doing right well as understudy to Judge at first base, despite his slump yesterday in St. Louis. His infleld mates are mak- ing the job tough for him with their weird throws. At third base, Buddy Myer is trying hard to handle his task, but Bluege is sorely missed. ' Nationals Drop F inai Tilt At St. Louis ITTSBURGH, Pa., July 22.—In their final fling of the Western jaunt the Nationals hit freely, but not in pinches, while their pitchers had little that baffied the Browns As a result, Walter John- son’s charges took an 8-to-5 licking. Twelve hits were made off Sam Gray by the Nationals, but after the firsi frame he held them at bay until the | latter part of the engagement. By that time, however, the Browns had the tilt well in hand.” Howley's horde made 11 safeties off Sam Jones and Myles ‘Thomas, sending Jones to the showers after three innings of toil and Thomas after four. Ad Liska finished with a perfect eighth inning. ‘GRIFFS TO PLAY 14 GAMES 'IN 15 DAYS IN STAND HERE Chicago Opens With Three-Tilt Set, Then the Indians Play Three, Followed by Browns and [ Tigers With Four Each.

KELLER. s. the way, look much better these will be manager Walter Johnson’s ‘The tour just ended can scarcely be considered a successful one for the Na- tionals. They were off to a poor start, losing three times to the Athletics and twice to the Yankees before moving westward. In the far sector of the cir- cuit they did much better, yet did not go along well enough to get anywhere near an even break for the enttre journey. Weakness at bat In the series with the Tigers and Indians hurt the Nationals no little. ‘Won 8 and Lost 14. In the West Johnson's charges won | 8 of 17 games played, to make their record for the entire trip show eight victories against 14 defeats. ‘They broke even with the Tigers in a four-game series, but lost three of| the four engagements with the Indians. ‘The Nationals were given a good start in Chicago, where Braxton's excellent pitching accounted for a victory. Then they dropped two in a row to the Chisox, but came back for a fifty-fifty break, thanks to Bob Burke's good hurling. Fred Marberry and Burke saved the Nationals’ bacon in St. Louis. Fred did excellent relief work in his club’s | first victory there: then collaborated | with Burke in winning a double-header | that gave the Nationals three wins in five starts against the Browns. This, by the way, was only the third win of a series for the Natlonals this season. Their other victims in sets were the Yankees and the Red Sox. Left-hand pitching certainly upset the Nationals during their three weeks’ tour. In 8 of the 14 games in which they were licked, the Nationals were licked by southpaw slabmen. Not one of their eight wins was gleaned from a | pitcher of port side persuasion. Their | rivals simply chucked all the left-hand- | ers they could against Johnson's ath- letes and made ‘em like it. by 8-to-5 Score | five batting turns and was rewar | with a double and two singles. e O'Rourke kept a hit from Tate in the | fifth with a nifty stop of a hot smash back of third base and an equally nifty throw to Blue. Brannon was a nuisance to Wash- ington batters. Otis covered a deal of ground between first and second bases and cut down several hard socxs. RECORDS OF GRIFFMEN CUBS IN HOT RACE Trim Giants, While Chicago Bows to Robins—Macks Add to Margin. BY HERBERT W. BARKER, Associated Press Sports Writer. ONIE BUSH'S Pittsburgh Pirates have cruised back into the National League lead, dis- placing” the Chicago ubs, Whose latest tenure of office lasted just 24 hours. 1t took two fine pitching ferform. ances to reinstate the Pirates to the top of the heap. Remy Kremer, the big Frenchman who has been making a gallant come-back this season, held the New York Giants to five hits as theq Corsairs triumphed, 5 to 3, while over in Brooklyn the old Cub nemesis, Dazzy Vance, gave the Bruins five scattered safeties and beat them 3 to 1. The net result was to drop the Cubs back into second place, a game behind Pittsburgh. - Kremer had to be at his best to hand up his twelfth victory of the season. The Pirates got only eight hits, but bunched five of them, with Fred | Leach's muff of a fly ball, to score | four runs in the fifth. In the home | half of the same inning the Giants | tallled twice on three hits. All the | Pirate hits were made off Larry Ben- | ton, the other Giant twirlers, Pitz- simmons and Mays, setting the oppe- ! sition down in order over the last four | innings. The triumph gave Pittsburgh | an even break in the series and 1 rEem;rd of 11 wins and 4 losses in the | ast, E i Vance Fans Ten. Vance struck out ten men in giving | the Robins their first victory of the | season over the cubs. Pat Malone weakened in the seventh and the Robins scored two runs and then added | another in the eighth off Charlie Root. The only Cub run came across in the fourth, when Rogers Hornsby hit a home run. The St. Louis Cardinals lost both ends of a double bill with the Boston Braves, 4 to 2 and 4 to 3. Lester Bell drove | home all the Braves runs in the first| game, three with a home run and the other with a single. Sisler's double with | the bases filled in the ninth gave the | Braves the second game. i Red Lucas pitched good ball after a | shaky start and Cincinnati downed the | Phillies, 8 to 5. Over in the American League the Philadelphia Athletics lengthened their lead over the New York Yankees to 1012 games, beating Detroit, 10 to 7 in| 11 innings, while Cleveland was downing Huggins’ men, 6 to 4. Graham Bothers A’s. [ Kyle Graham, a rookie from the Pl-} cific Coast League, gave the A's &lemyl of trouble, but they got to him the eleventh for four runs. The Tigers came back fighting but could score only | one run in their half. Bing Miller was the big gun in the Athletic attack, get- ting five hits, two them doubles, and driving in three runs. | Waite Hoyt had another off day at| Cleveland, and the Indians pounded | him for 10 hits, and all their runs in| the first seven innings. Miller weak- ened in the latter inning and gave way to Wesley Ferrell, who was effective in the pinches. The rampaging Chicago White Sox slugged three pitchers for 12 hits to| shut out the Boston Red Sox, 10 to 0. That top scene is not a pose. E. L. Brandon and Evan Davis, chairman and vice chairman of the Falls Church section of The Washington Star's tournament, are strictly in earnest as they examine a couple of close pitches.

Horseshoe pitching, with regulation shoes, pegs and scoring rules, is here to remain as a generally popular sport. There can be little doubt about it. The game has been lifted from the barnyard class and is sweeping the country as did golf.

They will be joined later by hundreds people is to desire to get in it. ' The How, When and Why | Of Horeeshoe Tourney Entries close next Wednesday. Play starts July 29 in all prelim- inaries.
