Pitchers, pitchers, and more pitch

the Nationals. Jimmy McAleer Is
searching the country for likely

the matter was discussed and the ssed

fruit before long.
What promises to be one of the most
interesting and unique automobile con-
tests ever conducted will De run We'd

fair Is called the electric suourbaning
strate that the electric automobile is
practical and highly desirable for sub
urban use as well as for city use. It
is not to be a contest In which speed
is a factor. but instead it will be a
competitive tour in which about fifteen
or more cars will travel over a selected
route on Long Island and attempts to
cover the entire course on a single bat
terry charge.
To add zest to the contest and at the
same time to evolve a winner on a fair
basis, regardless Of whether the driver
Is an amateur or a professional, a
guessing or secret time feature has been
added. Contestants will be asked to
cover the route at an approximate
speed of twelve miles an hour. Two
disinterested parties will set a time
period Of approximately twelve miles
an hour Several seconds more or lessJ,
these times to be kept sealed and Sc
cret. At the end of the run the times
set by these persons will be averaged,
and the mean obtained will be declared

the run nearest to the official figure will
be declared the winner by the referee.
Cars that finish the run without re-
charging or difficulty will be awarded
a certificate Of merit. Silver cups will
be awarded the winners in the two divi-

This is the last week of the Ma

visit of the White Sox here, the St.
Louis Browns showing UP on We'd

woe betide the team that endeavors
to stop them. Following four games
there the Nationals will journey to
New York for six games in four days,
two postponed battles being left from
the first trip. But then, Hal Chase
may have one of those games carried
over If he doesn't happen to feel like
playing 1t on this visit.
Five Games Out of Fifteen.
The Nationals have won but five
games since coming home from their
first Western trip. May 81. They have
dropped ten, making their average Of
victories .s3S per cent.
Tom Hughes defeated Boston and
Detroit. Groom snatched a game
from the Yanks before the rain tum-
bled upon his head. Dixie Walker
and Walter Johnson won from the
Naplanders.
The Nationals have done very we'll
against the Western teams SO far.
Detroit took three out of four and
the Naplanders broke even This
leaves it to the Nationals to hand it
to the White Sox and the Browns. In
order to make II an even break.
Every victory gained over the Browns
pushes them farther down and shoves
us correspondingly higher in the
struggle.
Nationals Need Pitching.
AS the Nationals are playing now
they need only good, steady pitching
to make every game they play a hard
fight. 1t is weakness in the box which
causes most of their troubles. Man

By SENATOR.

Another oUtfielder has been signed for
the Nationals by Mike Kahoe, now
cruising through the South in quest OF
promising youngsters for the McAleer
outfit. He is Long, left fielder on the
Gadsden (Ala.) club, of the Southeast
err League, and Manager McAleer has
been informed of his purchase and moth

the player will report here, but thinks
it will be in the near future.

Corhan Unimproved.
Roy Corhan, the promising shortstop
sof the White Sox, struck in the head
by a pitched ball in New York, is no
better today, and fears are expressed
by Manager Duffy for his ultimate re-
.covery. Corhan is being cared for at 4

lbeen left to act as nurse. Corhan is de-
