Nationa CLUB NOT DAUNTED " BY Bl MACK LEAD Johnson Band Has Faith-in Own Ability—I= Ready to Battle to Finish. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HILADELPHIA, August 3.— Still gunning after the A’s, the Nationals were full of fight as they went into to- day’s double-header with the league leaders here. In fact, John- son's charges still have an idea that there might be plenty of trouble ahead for the Mackian horde and they hope to keep near enough to the pace-setters to start going somewhere should the break come. Ten games back as they were before today's tussling the Nationals, by cold calculating, appeared pretty well out of the Tace. But their hope of success has not been blasted. Five more games with the A's after the doubl:-header and much could be gzined in those five is the way Manager Jchnson and his henchmen regard the situation. To many, the Nationals' chance for the pennant may seem the slimmest possible, but not to the Nationals them- selves. Those two wins over the A’s in ‘Washington had them all keyed up as they took the field this afterncon. They still consider themselves a real strong ball club, a club that promises to be a flag contend:r to the finish. They don't seem to know anything of the word “quit.” POTTING the A's four runs, the Naticnals lost no time getting them back, then set out to trim the league leaders in no uncertain manner yester- day in Griffith Stadium. With a 10-to-6 win they cut to 10 games the Mack- men's advantage over them and boosted to four and a half games their edge on the third-place Yanks. ‘With neither Sam Jones nor Hank McDonald, starting pitchers, at all ready to work, the game seemed lik:ly to be a free-for-all. Each was driven from the hill in the first round. Al Crow- der, however, came on to hold back the A’s handsomely, to be credited with the victory, but Waite Hoyt took a solid socking in the second round that made him Joser. against the Naticnals. There was much good thumping of the ball. The Nationals collected a dozenSafeties for 21 bases, while th> A's got 10 hits for 17 bases. Sam West was the big gun of the Washington attack with his three doubles and a single for a perfect day. Argong the Mack blcws was a home run driven into the open stand back of left-center by Al Sim- mons in the seventh inning. IN the first inning the home plate was almost torn from its moorings, 50 many runners crashed against it. Bishop smacked Jones' first pitch for a triple and counted when Cramer singled. Then walks by Cochrane and Simmons jammed the sacks. Foxx singled two more runs across and Jones out of the game. Crowder came on to fan Miller, but McNair hit to chalk up_the fourth marker for the A's. Back at 'em the Nationals went to even affairs. Passes to Myer and Rice and McNair's fumble of Cronin's grtéunder crowded the bases with one out. for the remainder of the day. Hoyt, the relieving hurler, struck out Bluege, but Kuhel singled to put over the two runs that put the Nationals in the | game again. The plate and the A's took more punishment - in _the second _session. Myer's triple, Bishop’s boot of Rice's roller, Manush's one-baser, Cronin’s three-bagger and a single by West meant four mor: Washington scores. Each side hung up a run in the fifth. Singles by Cochrane and Simmons and Miller's hoist to deep right registcred for the A’'s. West’s double and B'ueg> son band. In the sixth doubles by Rice and Manush after two wer» out netted the Nationals their tenth tally. That homer by Simmons in the seventh was the last run of the day. 'OMETHING like 16,000 turned out for the Sunday pastiming in Wash- ington. . . . Cochrane made a ame effort to get Cronin’s foul in the 'st frame . . . tumbled all over him- self as he missed the catch. ... West missed the plate with his slide in the first inning, but Cochrane missed Sim- + % Smigns’ throw, so Sammy had plenty of tine. to tag in with the tying tally. . . . Simmons did a lot of grandstand- ing in making a one-hand catch of Crowder’s foul in the second. . . . Rom- mel was a batter as well as a_ pitcher in the fourth frame . . . he lofted a real double to left center. . . . Bluege came in fast for a flashy scoop-up of McNair’s topper down the third base line in the fifth. . . . Old Man Rice rushed in at top speed for a one-hand catch at his shoetops of Williams’ looper in the sixth ... That homer by Simmons in the seventh was his six- teenth of the season . . . A first sack- er with long arms is the stuff . . . Kubel showed that in the eighth, when he ran to a field box and leaned across several rows of seats to snare Miller’s foul . . . Foxx made a sparkling stop of Crowder's drive and got his m°n in the eighth . .. Six of the last seven hits made by West were extra-base af- fairs . one homer, five doubles and a single in Sam’s string . . . the young fellow packs a wallop. Champions? PHILADELPHIA.

Old Sad Samuel stood {up there like the boy on the burning bridgs. And how thase Athletics pelted |snowballs at him, When Sammy hauled down his flag there were three {runs up on him, a p2ir of walks, two ' on the bags and no hands out. Sam must have wept with joy when \Zrllel' Johnson threw a& lifeline out t ere. But our attack got those runs back for the good General Crowder. McDon- ald weaved and bobbed better than Dempsey ever did when cur boys began popping at him. But Mac’s contro] was worse than that. It was so terrible that Mickey Cochrane, with heart full of loy- alty and hands full of blisters, wiggled his ears at Connie Mack to send for the wagon. z But, we had four runs and a knotted score ‘'when Waile Hoyt came galloping on to save the day. But all Hoyt saved was his shirt, And he was lucky at | that. When €onnie carried him off the mound with his famous score card, Waite was muttering and mumbling and shouting telephone numbers. But those numbers were just runs our boys had pelted over Hoyt's befogged cranium. Connie was running a Boy Scout class and not a champlonship ball club, in that inning. Myer smacked a triple, Bishop broke down and played _ping pong with Rice's grounder, Manush kissed one for a Texas single, Cro- nin nailed a triple, West pelted a sin- gle and in the meanwhile Hoyt was playing mum- ble and the A!,n!m‘.icé'l flelders were indulging in a little left-hand [PUNCH track exercise. 4 Men, when you say champions, I know the heat has you again.

We were smacking Ed- die, but the scoreboard docs mot show smacks in the run column. Despite the modern game you have siill got to dent the home plate to ring the bell. ‘Those Athletic fielders went after Manush’s Texas guer in the second like it was a boll weevil with shark’s teeth. It looked like a clinic gathering deciding whether to or not to operate.

GOOSE-EGG RECORD Four Straight Shutouts Two Shy of Mark Hung Up by Same Club in 1903. By the Associated Press. ITTSBURGH, August 3.—The Pittsburgh Pirates, although ap- parently trapped in the second division of the National League, today boasted a record that has not bzen equaled since 1903—four straight shutout victories. ‘When the last man went out in the Pittsburghers’ 3-to-0 win over the Reds at Cincinnati yesterday, it marked the fortieth straight inning in which oppo- nents failed to score. Followers of the Pirates, reveling in the sensational streak of their club, to- day wers recalling the Bucs of another year—when Wagner, Clarke, Ritchey and others were idols of fandom—for, oddly enough, it was the Pirates who sct up the record of six straight while winning the pennant in 1903. Dealt 56 Blanks. ‘The Pirates that year ran their string to 56 innings, one contest breaking off in the sixth on account of rain. The present unusual streak got under way last Wednesday, in the third game of the series with the New York Giants. The McGrawmen, with a leading mar- n, failed to count through the last four innings. Meine pitched one inning, Osborn two and Swetonic one. ‘The following day Larry French held the Giants scorelcss, with four hits to win, 9 to 0. Friday Remq Krem<r al- lowed Cincinnati only six safeties and won, 5 to 0. Saturcay Spencer held the Reds to three hits and the Pirates won, 1 to 0. Ervin Brame was the victor yester- day.

The following day Deaeon Philippe turned the Giants back, 7 to 0. Sam Leever made it two shutout wins in a ToW beating the Giants, 5 to 0. Irvin Wilhelm beat Boston, 5 to 0, June 5, and Dcheny took Boston over the next day, 9 to 0. Philippe next beat Boston, 4 to 0, in a game that was called .at the end of the sixth inning because of rain. ‘The Pirates were idle Sunday, June 7, but the next day Sam Leever regis- tered another shutout. This time the Phillies were the victims and the score was 2 to 0. That was six in a row, but the twirl- ing schoolmaster had to share honors with Honus Wagner, who saved the game for Pittsburgh with a brilliant ieaping catch, with twoon and two out, in the ninth. CELTS’ LOSS KNOTS _ STATE TITLE SCRAP | Thought They Were Out of Semi- Pro Fight After 2-1 Defeat by Front Royal. ALEXANDRIA, Va., August 3—St. Mary’s Celtics still are in the thick of he Virginia semi-pro championship fight despite their 2-to-1 defeat at the hands of the Front Royal All Stars in Baggett's Park yesterday. It was learned here today that the Stars a decision recently to All the edericksburg Elks, who were dcwned, by the Celtics in an early-season yesterday’s contest threw the , battle, 3 | series into a triple tie. Local fans, and members of the Cel- tic squad as well, left the park yester- day under the impression that the loss knccked the Green and Gold out of the race for the Stat: crown, as the game had been arranged with the under- standing that the Virginia title would be_at stake. Discovery of the Front Royal outfit's loss to the Elks, however, shed a dif- ferent light.on the matter ,.and gives the Irish an opportunity to retain the championship they won last season. The defeat by the All Stars was & heart-breaker for “Lefty” McIntyre, Celtics’ sterling left-hander, who struck out 15 and limitgd the foe to six hits, but the Green and Gold failed to bunch their bingles off Ray Borden, visitors’ ace, and the latter gained the verdict over the locals’ hard-working slabman.
