around greeting his friends.
Gotch Picks Jeffries.
None was happier to see Gotch than
Jeffries himself. When the giant Iowa

Jeffrfes' yard the pugilist rushed out and
grasped his hands warmly.
It's great to see YOU" Frank" he
shouted gleefully. I've been anx.ously

Jeffries has picked up a considerable

worked yesterday. but felt himself sliding

to be taken out of the game. Smith.
since leaving here. has proven himself
one of the most consistent pitchers on
the Boston staff. and all because he has
acquired control, something he lacked
here, and which made him a most I'M
certain proposition.
The abominable light hitting of the Ma
tionais makes it necessary for the team
to have the highest grade of pitching in
order to win. The other side must not
get more than two runs the lead will
be too big for the locals to overcome. As
run-getting club the Nationals have
fallen off badly since early in the season.
There have been decidedly few games in
which the local pitchers have been
touched up for three runs or more which
have been won by the Nationals On the
whole the pitching has been good. but
with so weak a hitting team it has not al

jumped into the lead. They quickly drew
away from the field. AT the five miles
Chevrolet was ahead, at record-breaking
speed. Harroun (Marmon) was out early
because of engine trouble. After ten
miles the race had resolved into a Sec
saw contest for first place between Chew
rolet and Burman. Both forced their en-
gines to the limit. and to the finish they
kept from one minute to two minutes
ahead of the best previous time in tha
class. With squirt Burman pulled in
