Is no reason why they should take uber
ties when things are breaking even.

Iomorrows game with the Tigers will
| be the last local contest for quite a
while. as the Nationals take another
swing around the circuit. TO allow the
Detroits time to get into Cleveland for
game scheduled for Friday, tomor-
rows game will be started at o'clock
Capt Bob Ganley didn't get hit yes
terday. but he worked Killian for two
bases on balls and came within a few
feet of pulling off another run for the
Nationals. Bob's steal of second and
third on Thomas in the third inning was
that followed had Pick been able to
put the ball on the ground. Bob would
have been in before any one could have
picked it up
From the form displayed yesterday by
the Tigers 1t is evident that the team
as a whole has improved a great deal
over last season. The Detroits look to
be the best club right now in the Amer-
can League, and it Is dollars to pennies
that the boys will not show stage fright
if they get another crack at the best in
the National League next fall. Those first
five men in the Detroit lineup are a
classy group, and with Schmidt behind
the bat the other four are above the
| average Coughlin and Downs are fair
stickers, so that with Mullin or Donovan
| on the rubber there should always be
something doing in the hitting line. Ev-
cry one OF the Detroit crew Is anxious to
get another crack at the Chicago Cubs.
and for this reason is pulling for that
| team to win the pennant in the National
| League. There will be old scores to
settle. and if these two teams face each
other in the worlds series the interest
| will be great deal stronger than it was
last year.

Yesterday exactly what the Nationals
CT hat to
captured both games of the double header
That the Browns got out of Washington
with two games concfusively demonstrates
that they were playing in good luck and
not playing good base ball. Since leaving
Washington the Browns have been some
what off color, especially when they al
lowed the Yankees to trim them: but
when the Red Sox can beat them two
games in one day Jimmy McAleer's luck
must surely have deserted him. The Ma
tionals begin a series of four games with
the Browns in st. Louis Saturday and the
contests should be crowded with interest
all the way.
Jesse Tannehill who was sent down
south to look over the stock Of promising
players in that country for the Washing
ton club. returned yesterday morning and
was in uniform at the park in the after
noon. Jesse says the trip was hot one
and he is glad to get back north. He
speaks very highly of Catcher Killifer
youngster has lot to learn, and it NAV
be some time before he is ripe for major
league company.

ager Connie Mack received a telegram
from President Johnson of the American
League indefinitely suspe nding Capt
Davis of the home team.
The suspension of Davis was caused, by
his actions Monday in disputing with
Umpire O'Loughlin his decision in the
