Henry Expects Be Playing Again Too Lc

BOB THAYER'Sl
Sporting Gossip
Every Knock IL a Boost"
We gained on the Mackmen.
-
Those two victories yesterday length
ened the stride Of the Nationals over
the Mackmen. Four games now sep
arate the two clubs which are strug-
Cling to overhaul the rushing Red sox,
and barring evil luck, the Mackmen
should never again pass the Climbers.
Griffith has fighting team with good
pitchers. Mack lacks the pitchers.
There you have 1t In nutshell.
Cicotte came back"
Aside from the happiness following
the double win. the excellent showing
Of Carl Cashion warns the cookies of
Grinith's heart most. Cashion has all
a
wonder and his rapid Improvement un-
der the training Of Griffith and Jack
Ryan 10 most encouraging. with the
big Moose" In sbape--well, that PEN
nant may come here, after all.
Cashion is improving.
Eppa Rixey did it again yesterday,

giving them but three hits. How the
tall boys work must have pleased Cy
Rigler, the umpire behind the bat, for
Rigler was the coach at Virginia and
was the adviser of the youngster in
his choice OF a big league home.
-
Milan, demon on the bases.
That Jack johnson may be allowed to
box ten rounds in New York seems
foreshadowed by the action of the State
boxing commission yesterday. The
champion has been tacitIy barred from
the Metropolis but he may be allowed
to box there. II he will meet Joe jean
nette. Ten rounds with Jeanette is
merely little soft money for johnson,
by the way.
Stovall 10 suspended.
IL Al Williams continues to play regu-
larly behind the bat for the Nationals,
the first thing you know he'll be fight-
Ing with Ty Cobb for the batting cham
pienship Of the league. Williams IL one
OF the hardest hitters on the team and
MS appearance at the plate means
trouble for the enemy. His earnestness
on the field and his hitting has made
many friends for him, too.
-
Potomac regatta today.
That should be a great card of races
on the Potomac this afternoon when the
Potomac Boat Club holds its semi.an-
nual regatta. II the events are well
contested the large crowd which is sure
to be on hand will get it's all of good
sport. Incidentally. the oarsmen are
getting much needed work for the COM
Ing regatta en- Labor Day.
Rixey is q hero again.
Polo is gaining a large following in
the city following the tournament
which was held on the Speedway dur
Ing the past week and the matches
never failed to bring out large al.
tendances. The teams from the other
cities had the edge on the army
horsemen which are being touted as
Corners. Another year or two should
see the game well on it's feet here.

Postoffice has the houors.

to the point, they will. unless the
