Nationals to “Stand Pat” on Personnel : Braves and Yankees Are in Same Boat CANT BAININ RACE CLUB GOOD ENOUGH, CREFTH BELEVES 3 Blael No Deal in Sight, Declares ¥ President—Victory Over Browns Ninth in Row. BY JOHN B. KELLER. O O trading or purchasing to Fegt, be done by the Nationals today, which one big league club may effect a deal with another in an effort to strengthen for the heavy going ahead. Expressing himself as quite satisfied with his|g outfit as it stands, President Clark | Ferrel Griffith declares no deal with an- other club is contemplated and that he expects the Washington club as it is now to be the same after midnight tonight, the dead- line for shifts among the ma]ors “What we could get we don’t care for,” asserts Griffith. “Our club is good, very good, as now constituted. We be- lieve we are strong enough to carry on the fight and see no reason for making any changes that might be made. ‘There’s no dell in sight so far as the ‘Washington club is concerned.” Griffith does not state emphatically, however, that the Nationals are not in “I'm still willing offer is made that if accepted might benefit the Nationals,” he says. “And that goes until 12 But we are ‘They'll have not_sounding other ci ubs. to come to us.” The prexy intimates he still would like to procure Tony Lazzeri, inflelder with the Yankees, for the Nationals. “There has ben no discussion of such a deal between the clubs for several days, though,” is the statement of the ‘Washington boss. “He'd be a good »man to have, but the Yankees have asked ‘more than we think he would be worth to us. Should they come through with another proposition some time today it might be considered. “I'm not anticipating any deals today, however,” is Griffith's latest line, doesn’t look as though the Na- tionals need any help these days. They are getting along right well with what they have. Wi to'| 3 over the Browns yesterday, they nlr- rowed the gap between them and the league-leading Athletics, who stumped their toes azainst the Cleveland club, to three games. The Johnson band appears quite capable of dogging the ll’auk pack and waiting for the big | yic reak. ‘To extend their season record victory streak to nine games the Nationals took toll of two St. Louis pitchers.

TWENTY GRAND DUE T0 RUN IN CHICAGD Practically Certain to Start in American Derby That Will Have Classy Field. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, June 15.—Chicago racing- dom will have its opportunity Satur- day to watch the season’s greatest 3- year-old, Mrs. Payne Whitney's Twenty Grand, in the blue ribbon evegt of Washington Park’s meeting, the $50,- 000 added American Derby. ‘Twenty Grand is virtually certain to be a starter in the Homewood track's feature. Walter J. Salmon's Ladder was due to be unloaded at Washington Park to- day to fill his Derby engagement and A. C. Bostwick's Mate, which scored a victory over Mrs. Whitney's Kentucky Derby and Belmont winner in the Preakness, is expected by Wednesday. Sun Meadow, which finished a long- distance second behind Twenty Gnnd in the Belmont Stakes Saturday, also is a possibility. Charles E. Fisher's Sweep All, which finished second to Twenty Grand in the rt, though, hurt Stiles in his first|the Manager ~“Johnsori ~ifithisted the ‘Washington pitching to his’string bean left-hander, Bobby Burke, but Bobby wasn't quite right. After three innings the Browns began pecking at him seriously and 1ollowinx hits off him by the first twe up in the sixth, Burke was yanked and Bump Hadley rushed to the hill. Hadicy had plenty on the ball. He quickly dupo.ued of the Browns in the sixth when he assumed the mound with runners on first and second bases and in the seventh he blinded the bat- ters with his aszortment of stuff. In this inning, after McNeely singled, Bump threw a third strike by Ferrell. Here Storti batted for Blaeholder and drew a pass, but both Levey and Burns watched third strikes go by. And Had- ley retired each of these batters with three pitches. 'N the first inning the Nationals got a gift run, thanks to First Baseman Burns of the Browns. After Sam Rice singled and checked in at third when Manush doubled, Cronin hoisted to McNeely in short right. Rice headed for the plate with the catch, but would ‘ shave been caught standing up had not Burns for some mysterious reason cut off McNeely’s good throw inmsd of letting the ball soar on to Ferrell. Burke pushed over two tallies for his side in the second session. Kuhel walked, Bluege singled and Spencer sacrificed. Up to the plate went Bobby to foul off two pitches and then drive a single to center to score those on the runway. Two singles and a hit batter netted the Browns a marker in the fourth. Burns hit and Goslin was hit, but the Goose was snared in a two-way erasure with Schulte. Thet moved Burns to third, from where he counted as Kress rifled a single by Cronin. In the fifth McNeely's single, Ferrell's two-bagger and Blaeholder's long hoist to West gave the Browns another run. In the sixth the Nationals boosted their score. Manush beat out a bunt to Burns and there were two on when Blaeholder, covering first, dropped a throw from Melillo, who had scooped up Cronin’s roller. West popped out and Kuhel forced out Cronin, but Bluege singled over a tally and so did Spencer. Successive singles by Myer, Sam Rice and Manush, a brace of errors and a double by Kuhel meant three runs cff Stiles in the seventh. In the eighth Spencer’s single, Hadley's sacrifice, Myer’s one-baser and Sam Rice's out- field retirement got another run. It was Myer's failure to touch second after taking a throw from Blucge that Jet the Browns count in the ninth. ‘There was one out and Melillo, who had singled, on first when Ferrell rolled to Bluegs.
