In their first five double-headers the Nationals broke even. The Yankees also have won five double-headers this season, but they have lost two and split in seven so the Nationals get the palm. ‘The Nationals, by the way, will not be bothered with double-headers much more this season unless the weather ceases to favor them as it has more than any other club. They have only four remaining on their schedule. One is to be played with the Yankees in New York a week from next Monday, there is a twin bill with the Tigérs and another with the Indians to be dis- of on the next swing through West and the regularly scheduled &ffair with the Red Sox in Boston on Labor day.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO EAUPOESTRNES FORONEYMARK Needs $82,000 to Top Sun Beau—Wilson Mile Will Open Campaign. BY ORLO ROBERTSON, Associated Press Sports Writer. EW YORK, July 25.—With N th® ‘Wilson- mile on the opening day of Saratoga, August 3, his next objec- tive, C. V. Whitney’s Equipoise today was at the up-State track preparing for a campaign that is expected to carry him near, if not to the top, of the turf’s money winners. Although heavily engaged at the Spa and the Chicago tracks, the A-(ye‘r-old son of Pennant and Swinging, holder of the world’s record of 1:3¢ 2-5 for 1 mile, faces no easy task in earning the nearly $82,000 he needs to pass Sun Beau's mark of $376,744¢. Equipoise, fifth on the world's list and fourth on the American, has won $294,820. Except for the $25,000 Hawthorne Gold Cup, & weight-for-age event which will be run either August 16 or 19, the diminutive Whitney speedster's engage- ments are all in small stakes, most of them $3,500 or less. Although eligible for eight races at the Spa, Equipoise probably will not start in more than two or three. T.J.
