Brownies DAYS as member OF the Ma
tionats are numbered. Manager McAleer
SOM the veteran outfielder to Washington
This morning and has requested the CLUB
officials to ask for waivers on him.
Brownies work In the few games ne
PLAYED for the Nationals this year has
not been TO McAleers liking. Further
more Browne has not taken the interest
in the team that NcAleer expects of his
PLAYERS. II waivers are secured Browne
will be sold to some minor league club:
II not. AIRY club that is willing to pay the
waiver price can have him.
MchIeer figures that he is we'll enough
fortified i'll the outield with Conroy on
the team for Wild can play the outfield

the beginning of the end for all those
old players on the team who cannot hold
their own New blood is to he gradually
worked into the team. This morning
Herman Schaefer left on a trip TO look
at an outfielder playing with a club not
far from here. Schaefer is the fourth

Pitching Ieft-handers against Detroit is
not the handicap to the Tigers that it
was once believed TO be. With their vic
tory over Gray Yesterday the champions
made il nine straight. and strange to
say. in every one OF these games left
handed pitcher worked against them
They started their winning streak by
beating Doc White: then they heat Ora
ham. Waddell and Bailey. the former
twice. They also took two from Plank
nd one from krause. and made it nine
by beating Gray.
This is most remarkable record. and
incidentally gives an idea of the terrific
clip at which the Tigers are going.
There is 10 doubt that right at this time
the Detroit team is putting up A better
article of ball than it has at any time
since HuShcy Jennings took comma nd
here. Not only is the team hitting. but
II - showing remarkable speed the

more. Is blessed with good pitching.
Whether this present pace is fash i'm
the pan or means that the team has
@trEck q stride which it will hold to the
end remains tn he seen. hut certain it is
that If II goes along as it is now nothing

The fact that the team is crippled and
It's reputation for faint heartedness when
the race becomes close seem to he too
great hitch to overcome Detroit seems
tn have one team to fear-Nev York
Stsllings has pitching staff that is do
ing remarkable work. and any DAY that
he can score two runs for either Hughes
WARRIOR. Vaughn, Ford or Quinn his
team will win. But Jennings does not
fear New York. He thinks that team is
going ahead of its natural gait and will
slump sooner or later. But there are
no indications of a falling off in the wori,
of the Highlanders. They continue to
show high-class form because Of the eff
fectiveness of the pitchers, and must be
inquired as most dangerous contender.
George Mullin got away luckily yester-
day. He pitched a game which he won
only because things broke badly for Gray
He was wild at both start and finish. and
had 1t not been for remarkable stop by
Moriarty of Conroys sharp grounder in
the ninth there might have been diff
ferent story to tell Mcbride and Killifer
had walked in this inning. with two out,
when Conroy hit hard toward left Nor
iarty cot his hands on the ball, knocked II
down, and got II up in time to force Nc
Bride AT third. Had that hit gone through
one run would have been over the plate,
and not unlikely both second and third
base would have been occupied.
Since the Nationals left home they
have rad but one fair day. The opening
in New York was attended by fair wealth
er but ever since then the skies have
been clouded, and not peek has been
had at the sun. It was so Yesterday
when up to noon it did not seem possible
to play the game.
II Cnglaub and Gessler particularly
the former, were doing consistent work
with the stick there would be more vic
tories to the credit of the Nationals than
there are. Barring that game at C1eve-
land Saturday, neither of these two sup
posed sluggers has been hitting with any
telling effect, and this Is just as great
a handicap to the Nationals rs it would
he {" the Tigers il Cobb and Crawford
should be unable TO get their share of the
Lifts Figured al its best the team is not
strong with the bat. but the two men
who were supposed to he able to do the
post offensive work. fiessler and Tn
Eiaub. have not come up to expectations.
with the result that the team finds it a
difficult matter to score any runs.
poc Reisling is carded to pitch today,
and IL is almost certain that Jennings
will give Kilian chance to win an
other game.
