CONNIE MACK CALLS

Leader of Worlds Cham
pions Says Nationals Are
to Be Contenders.

DETROIT, Mich, June 16-Connie
Mack thinks the Nationals have a team
which Is to be considered as a cham
pionship possibility.
Mack doesn't coincide with the view
OF Hugh Jennings that the Washing
ton Nationals are playing above their
speed.
mo club that can go along and take
hfteen straight can be called lucky"
declared Connie. when you are con-
sidering pennant possibilities, or prob
abilities, you've got to consider the Ma
tlonals.
"Moeller. Shanks. Foster, Morgan,
and Gandil are playing great ball
don't believe they are running above
their speed. 1t may be that they will
make Clark Grfhth's aggregation a
pennant winner. I don't know. No
one else does-now.
THE Nationals have been winning by
decisive scores. They defeated Detroit
fairly and squarely. They put It over
Chicago, and st. Louis was easy for
them.
You can't deny a team when 1t wins
like Washington has been. They have
been getting great pitching. And they
have been giving their pitchers great
What more could you ask?'
And, being in the presence of the
great and only Connie, the question
was unanswered.

FORMER NATIONAL
PLAYER MAKES NEW
HITTING RECORD
Jack Lelivelt Connects Safe
ly in Forty Consecutive
Games.

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, June l6.-wkst
is believed to me a record for consecu-
tive hitting never before approached in
n minor league and being on a par with
the feat accomplished by Tyrus Ray
mond Cobb, of the DetHAit Tigers, last
year in the American League, which ex-
celled all previous performances of the
Kind In the majors, was established by
Jack Lelivelt, the Rochester outflder,
formerly CT the Nationals, in the game
played In this city last Monday. when
Montreal was the opposing clup. When
Lelivelt trtpled in the eighth inning of
Mondays contest he had accounted for
at least one safe hit in forty consecu-
tive games.
In the opening game at Providence OH
April 10, Lelivelt cracked out two hits,
but the next day failed to connect safe
ly of Mitchell or Schultz in six times
up, though he was once passed, in a
thirteenth-inning contest. Lclivelt did
not play the third game of the series,
Batch being substituted because of a
left-handed pitcher being on the mound
for Providence. But beginning with the
game at jersey City OH April g. Leli-
welt hit safely in every game in which
| he participated-forty in number-up to
| The first game Of Tuesdays double
header with Montreal, when he failed
to place the ball safely of Akers In
] four times up.
/ From April % to June IL Lelivelt
missed but one game, the afternoon af-
| fair at Montreal on June 8, he having
| been injured in the forenoon contest.
| In the forty games Lelivelt accounted
| for sixty-three safe hits, fifteen OF
which were doubles, FIVE triples and two
! home runs. Hit hitting has been a
powerful asset to the Champions and
| accounts in great measure for their
| of the pennant race.
| Lelivelt, all told, has participated in
! forty-five contests. His batting average
| now Is a fraction less than 1893. Up
until June l, Lelivelt was fifth in the
| Hustler's batting order and more often
| than not he led of in succeeding in
nings after not being called upon in the
| opening chapter. SO that he has not
| driven in as many runs with his hitting
as he is likely to do now that he is
| batting fourth.
| He has hit safely sixty-nine times,
! twenty-three of his bingles being for ex-
I ira bases. He has scored thirty-hve
runs, has in addition driven eighteen
| vanced teammates on the bags for a
| total Of fifty-one bases, has forty-eight
| times been thrown out at first on an
| tnfield out or reached the initial corner

The Naplanders corralled their final
tally in the seventh. Steen hoisted a

pitching, fast or slow, high or low
Furthermore, their confidence in their
ability to hit the best pitching is some
thing remarkable. It is impossible to
undermine the teachings of Manager
Griffith in this respect. He has ham
mered along one line, telling them that
hitting teams win flags and that they
are a hitting team and should beat any
kind OF pitching.

box twice by the Nationals this season.

Argument At Bottom.
Down at the bottom OF all this is the
potency OF Clark Griffith's arguments to
his lads. They are young and impress
sionable. Their imaginations take FIRE
quickly. They really believe they arc
stronger and faster than they are, and
their very confidence Is allowing them
to succeed where other older teams
would never dare to risk their chances.
But Don't forget, you fans. that the
Names don't win ball games," is the
result Of careful thought on the part OF
Manager Griffith. He Is today the best
handler of young talent In baseball. and

charge the youngest ball club in major

youthful fire and frenzy. They are
