LUSH with victory, the pen- F nant-driving Nationals nev- ertheless maintain a keen sense of balance. They well realize the continued existence of the Yankee menace, despite any disheartening effect that double- beating on July 4 may have had | on the New Yorkers. At home for a long stand, the Nationals understand they must maintain a swift pace to keep their heads up in the flag quest, for the Yanks, too, have a long stay in Yankee Stadium ahead and they are well-nigh unbeat- able on their own lot. ‘Through 16 days, starting Saturday, the Nationals will do their pennant bidding here, with a great opportunity to get themselves far ahead of the rest of the pack in the championship chase.

M'GRAW AND MACK NOT KIDDING TODAY All-st:r Game Accepted by Old Rivals as Battle for Honor of Their Leagues. originally HICAGO, July 6.—Connie Mack hopes to be two up on his old friend and rival, John J. McGraw, when the game of the century between all-star teams of the American and National Leagues is finished at Ccmis- key Park this afternoon. McGraw's New York Giants mauled the Philadelphia Athletics in the world series of 1905, but Connie came back to avenge that defeat in the serles of 1911 and 1913. This all-star game is more than a mere exhibition to McGraw, who re- tmswmodmmmd!crldaym. year of retifement, and Mack.

The Yankees still have power-plus and they also have a habit of mowing down the Western clubs when the lat- ter visit New York. Joe McCarthy's club has lost but 6 of 28 games p].uzd on its home lot this season. of those were dropped to the Nluom]a CHAMPION NINE FETED Members of the Wheatley School base ball team, which won the city title in its cless, were rewarded with & chicken dinner at the cottage of Miss Melichampe at Owings Beach, Md.

That_certainly puts it m | to the Na- tionals to move this time at a far faster gait than that of .613, whmh has marked their play at home here- tofore. A pennant may virtually be tucked away by the Washington club this month if it matches its play abroad in the Griffith Stadium stand. the impending invasion of the ‘Westerners, the Indians, the White the Browns and the ‘Tigers vin nppe-r here in the order men- The Browns are- booked for nve es, raln having prevented one uled contest when they were here m May. Each of the other outfits is down for four ements. Wash- ington fandom should get a wealth of entertainment out of this program. ‘When they were here in May, the In- dians and the Browns were bested by the Nationals. The Indians gave t!u Cronin crew a real tussle befm ping two of three games, but Browns were rather easily beaten in the two tilts they played. The Tigers and the White Sox produced much good pitching, however, and each of these aggregations bagged two of three games ut on. Since, the White Sox have ged down and are not apt to be so troublesome in Griffith Stadium this time. But the Tigers showed plenty of kick when the Nationals played tgem last week in Detroit and right now are the class of the West. It looks as though the Nationals as they battle the West here this tim ought to fare far better than they did in May. Most of the Western clubs have shot their bolts, while the Wash- ington club is in full stride, playing smart and aggressive base ball. ‘The Nationals, on their game nt i of Ellsworth Vines over Henri Cochet in the semi- final tennis matches at Wimble- don. It marked the third triumph of the lanky Californian over the former ball boy of Lyons, for one thing. But more than that, it presages even more possibilities to follow later on. Six years ago, the tricolor of France rose in a vigorous charge of youthful stars to wrest from the .ltus and st-ipes internatiorial tennis lupremuy. which had endured over a period of seven years. Cochet was an xmpomnt figure in that successful assault, along with Rene La Coste, Jean Borotra and Jacques Brugnon. ‘The point whether La Coste or Cochet was the better player may bea E was more than passing significance to the victory subject for debate, but with the with- e Coste’ drawal of La because of ill health, there can be no question that Cochet remained France's greatest single de- fender. Vines has now beaten him on three successive occasions—in the h‘ of the Davis Cup Matches home, should make rapid progress in their pennant pursuit. 'O maintain their edge, Griffith’s hands, after a _day of relaxation, were at Griffith Stadium this morning for a long batting and flelding drill and are scheduled to go through another tomorrow. For more than an hour today, the players toiled under the direction of Coaches Altrock and Bchacht, assigned to the duty by Man- ager Joe Cronin, who did his bit for the | pe & American League in the Battle of the Century in Chicago today. All hands should be in fine fettle for the invasion of the Westerners that will begin Saturday with a double-header against the Indians. League Races THURSDAY, July 6, 1933.

Framnce had already made a sucoessful defense of the Davis Cup when the first victory was scored, so that no issue of real importance hung on the out- come. But that could not be said of what took gnee at Forest Hills, when Vines three straight sets, nor can it sald of this recent match at Wim- bledon. This latest triumph nught to make the case of his mastery complete. Vines’ Aggressive Power, T was a case of the surge of youth and er against can- niness and experience. For Vines follows the theory popular in more than one field of sporting competition that the best defense is a strong offense. Power, reach and speed for a chap of his proportions equip him with the necessary armament to wage vigorous and aggressive 'u;hret Oocmbqum and agile as a cat, yet a suj - tiéian on the courts, and withal a calm and ealculating performer, found the sheer power and drive of his opponent’s attack too much. It is entirely possible that the French star Iorna: what was coming during the furious bat- tling in their second encounter at Forest Hills last year. In 3pite of the fact that he was forced to make a hurried departure, jollow- ing the finish of the match to catch a boat, he stated that Vines had mustered against him the finest ezhibition of tennis it had ever been his lot to see. tches from the scene of the R-?I:don conflict further indicate that Cochet fully realized the difficulty of the task of staving off the young Californian in case they came together in another meeting.
