B scored nine wins in a row, its best streak of the sea- son, and bagged 18 of its last 21 games, has done so because it has a well poised pitching staff and a punch in low-score battles. In fact, that's the secret of the Na-| tionals’ success this season. No| other pitching staff has equaled | Washington’s for distance-going | or for general steadiness. The| Nationals haven’t clouted some other clubs, but they have clouted well enough to get runs for many small-score triumphs. Manager Walter Johnson is very proud of his pitching staff, over which he worked so hard during the training days in the South and the first month of the campaign.

This season they all are doing it. 1 never before saw such remarkable El.whlng by so many pitchers as we ve been getting this year. N the Nationals’ last 21 games 17 hulrers finished games they started. “How do you account for this sudden | increase in stick-to-it-iveness i your pitchers?” Johnson was asked. “Well, they all are in splendid physi- cal condition now,” he replied, “and I believe mentally they are better equip- ped for their work than they were. I have long endeavorsd to teach the younger members of the staff that it is mot essential to pitch under pressure all the time and that it may be neces- sary to bear down with everything a pitcher has only two or three times in a game.

It is all right for them to go along at an ordinary pace and take chances with $heir support when they are not in a hole, but they should be ready to cut when trouble threatens. It looks @s though our pitchers are able to do that now.” - ANOTHI:R thing, perhaps, had something to do with the sudden spurt of Gistance pitching by the ‘Washington staff. I thi the release of Gariand Braxton put the staff on its mettle,” Johnson remarked. “You know, Braxton was used much as a re- lief pitcher for two months. When he was in the bull pen the other fingers were inclined to look for help if they got in a hole in a late inning. “When he went to the White Sox I explained to the hurlers that I had confidence in their ability to get out of trouble should they fall into it and | that I expected them to go through to &he finish of every game they s.arted. “Since that time I haven't had to pull them out very often. They are | @ll nine-inning hurlers, and those are the only kind to have. No club can hope to get anywhere that uses or four pitchers a day.” “WHILE we were training down | South many of the critics re- marked we would make Ilittle headway in the race because we had | too light a punch,” Walter said. “Well, | we aren’t the longest hitting club and we aren't the slam-bang hitting club | that some others are. But we manage | to get more runs than the other bunch more often than not. We don’t need the extra strong offensive because of the small number of runs opponents have been scoring. Qur pitchers have seen to that. But we have enough of a punch to win behind our pitching, end that's about all a ball club needs.” N the second game of the series with | the Red Sox the Nationals yesterday | did not display much punch, but enough to get a 6-to-5 victory. Fred Marberry had a rocky time of it on the pitching hill, too. Several times it looked as though he would be blasted from the slab. In fact, Fred ered in after the third inning. Yet he stuck to his task gamely and so confident was Johnson in Fred's ability to control the several serious situations that no relief pitcher was ordered to warm up. It was a battle of home runs, with two of the nine Red Sox safeties of the | four-base variety and one of the nine hits gleaned off Horace Lisenbee in the seven innings he toiled good for the round trip. Phil Todt and Earl Webb hit the ‘Boston homers. Todt lifted his into the right-field bleachers very close to the foul line after one was out in the fifth inning to break a 3-3 tie the Na- tionals had just created. Webb's was a powerful wallop. out in the ninth inning. It was the third hit of the game for the south- side swinger. ‘These Boston homers meant only two runs, but the homer Heinie Manush drove high into the right field bleachers in the seventh inning meant just as many runs and the ball game. Rice had " just slammed a double to score Myer who had walked with one out when Manush made the telling blow. ‘That homer was Washington's last score, N the first inning the Nationals got an unearned run and two singles with as many sacrifices netted an- other tally in the third, but in the fourth the Red Sox stepped to the front.

FULLERTON, JR., Associated Press Sports Writer. NE reason why the Boston Braves still are in the | thick of the National | League battle is to be found in 150-odd pounds of un- adulterated shortstop, bearing the imposing name of Walter |James Vincent Maranville, other- |wise known as “Rabbit.” This spent 18 of his 37 Summers play- ing major league ball, is having one of the best seasons of his long | career. When he was one of the main cogs of Boston's amazing team of 1914 his batting average was only .246 and his mark for his 18 major league years is .262, but this season he is hitting above the .300 mark and is fielding right along with the league's best. When the Braves stepped out yesterday to trounce the league-leading Brooklyn Robins, 4 to 1, Maranville merely made two of Boston's nine hits, scored once, handled <ight fielding chances without | an error and started three of Boston's four double plays. The shortstop had some assistance in stopping the Robins and leaving them only a half game ahead of the idle Chi- | sidered too old for the American League | this season, pitched a great game, shut- | ting out the Robins except for Johnny | Frederick's homer, while Wally Berger came through with his twenty-fourth circuit blow of the year. gaining a tie with Hack Wilson and Chuck Klein for the National League lead. Completing the National League’s day, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia made it a bad day for the first division. The Phillies, with Phil Collins on the mound, humbled the New York Giants, 8 to 1, pounding three pitchers for 14 hits, { while “Shuffling Phil” held the Giants to 110 thoroughly scattered blows. The Pi- | rates kept the St. Louis Cardinals a game and one-half back of the third- place Giants by slamming out a 10-to-5 victory. . Washington continued to lead the straight victory. in first place by several percentage points, beat out the Boston Red Sox, 6 to 5, and finally gained a tie with the Athletics for the top where games are concerned. The world champions lost a half game by dividing their double- header with the New York Yankees. Fred Marberry won his fifth game in ‘Washington’s streak of 17 victories in 18 games and made it 16 Senator pitchers to go the roufe in that time. Heinie Manush aided him with a homer that produced the deciding runs. George Walberg proved his sore arm something of a myth against the Yankees in the first game, holding them to three hits for a 4-to-0 triumph. Red Ruffing kept pace with him for the last 815 innings after the Athletics had driven Henry Johnson to cover. The second contest was something of a slugging match, with George Pipgras outlasting four Athletic hurlers for a 9-to-4 victory. Chicago’s White Sox rose a notch in the American League standing, going from seventh place to sixth as Ted Lyons gave them & 3-to-2 victory over Detroit, while the St. Louis Browns were taking a 12-to-6 beating at the hands of the Clevelal not only pitched effectively against De- troit, but drove in two of the runs with a triple in the second inning. ‘The Indians showed a considerable re- covery from their slump by hammer- ing three Brownie pitchers for 14 hits, including two homers, while Young Mel Harder pitched with sufficient effec- | tiveness to score his seventh victory of the year.

Lyons | HOPE THAT TILDEN WILL PLAY FADES Big Bill, Holding to Intention to Write, Puts Onus on Tennis Leaders. BY WALTER TRUMBULL. | EW YORK, July 9.—In reply to a message from John N. Wheeler, general manager of the North American Newspaper Alliance and president of the Bell Syndicate, of- | fering to waive contract rights which ; might prevent the Wimbledon champion | from playing on the United States Davis | Cup team, William T. Tilden, 2d, cabled rom Holland: “Thanks for wire. No intention to play. The association has power to |8rant me permission to fulfill contracts |and refuses. Why should we sacrifice | everything? The responsibility is theirs.” The power of the tennis association, | of which Tilden speaks, refers to article |3, section 5, of the amateur rules for |tennis, which forbids a number of | things, including writing of a tourna- |ment in which a player is engaged. | “except with the consent of the execu- | tive committee.” Joseph W. Wear of Philadelphia, chairman of the Davis Cup Committee, said today: “The committee will be greatly dis- appointed if Tilden refuses to play. We appreciate the offer of the North Amer- ican Newspaper Alliance and the Bell Syndicate to release Tilden from his | contract, especially as this was done without any solicitation. “I shall talk to Tilden on the tele- phone and both Dixon and I will try to induce him to play. “My opinion is that the committee will not waive any rule for Tilden in Men high in tennis councils, who did not wish their names to be used, gave it as their private opinion that the com- mittee would not even consider waiving the rule. They point out that Davis Cup matches last three days and the strain of play is so great a man selected for the team should get all possible rest, concentrate wholly on the game and. have no outside distractions. They also stated it as their opinion that a man engaged in Davis Cup play was in no frame of mind to write calm, analytical comment.
