ETROIT, July 17.—Avoiding an eighth straight defeat, which would equal the long- est Washington losing streak of recent years, is the task the Nats will face tomorrow, when they en- counter the Tigers in the second game of the series here. Monte Weaver, the best of the Grifith A. C. pitchers, will be un- veiled before the Tigers, although Manager Bucky Harris thinks that pitching Weaver against Detroit is something akin to committing sui- cide. “The Detroit coaches call every pitch on Monte,” laments Bucky.

When the Washington player at- tempted to break the deep ball he netted or drove over the base line. HefIner began to tire midway in the second set.
