These coming games with Boston and

Nationals have the slight advantage OF
playing on their own grounds. This
helps whole lot some time.
Right now the rivalry and feeling be-
tween the Nationals and the Athletics
has reached the bitter stage. Grin Is a
hard loser and all his players are hard
losers. They believe that they were not
treated fairly in the Quaker City. and
for the first time in years the Athletics
are accused Of employing dirty tactics.

Washington beat them in the Capital
