ATHLETICS PASS
NATIONALS IN RACE
FOR THE PENNANI
Mackmen, by Winning Double
header Over Maps Jostle Climbers
Out of Second Place.
OTHER SPORTING COMMENT

Owing to the batting slump which
! seems to stick to the Nationals like
death to a dead mule, Connie Mack s
Athletics forged into second place yes
trrday, jostling the Climbers out of the
berth they have held for month or
more To-day the Athletics lead the Ma
tiorMls by the scant margin of two
points but tomorrow another story may
be told.
With the season only about two-thirds
over the Nationals still have an out
side chance to rush TO the front. Both
Boston and the Athletics can be over
taken.
The cry formerly was. wait until next
year" but now the toscin is Wait
until the boys get over their batting
slump
Griff is not a gutter. and this charge
cannot be laid at the door OF any of his
players. the only quitters in this town
are the disgruntled fans who expect the
club to win every game.
Turn out and encourage the Nationals.
Get together this afternoon and make
little noise.
Boss Griff will likely shake up his bat
ting order for to-day's game in hopes
that luck will turn. He was not pre-
pared last night to say just what combi-
nation he would present, but a shake
ur is promised.
If Ed Walsh pitches for the White Sox,
Walter Johnson will be in the box for the
Nationals this afternoon. If Callahan de-
cides not to work his crack pitcher. Bob
Groom may go back at the White-hosed
gang, or Joe Engel may start.
Germany Schaefer and Nick Altrock
have had no chance thus far to pull their
comedy. The diamond dust twins may
get busy this afternoon.
Before the Yankees left Cleveland
Harry Wolverton had the following to
say about the Yankee situation:
Il have an exceptionally bright young
set OF fellows, and they are making note
not only of their own mistakes, but
those of the other fellows as well. While
they aim to remedy their own faults
they are also careful not to make the
same errors of judgment as their oppo-
nents. Therefore, they are killing two
birds with one stone.
Il don't think that We have much
chance to better our position in the
American League race this year. but 1
am looking to the future. Probably next
year the Highlanders will be the dark
horses of the American League in much
the same manner as the Washington
Nationals are this season. 1 will have
a team of youngsters. with just enough
veterans scattered through the lineup
to give 1t the proper balance Nobody
expected Griffith's team to be a con-
tender for the championship this season,
but they are right up there, fighting
tooth and nail. That. I hope, will be
the situation with the Highlanders next
season." WILLIAM PEET.

Mr.. Laporte was the only Nationa
to scrape up a speaking acquaint,
ance with second base throughout
the game.
Groom Is UnIucky.
Bob Groom and Jim Vaughn did the
pitching for the home folks and Groom
should not have been scored upon; in
field boots put the lanky boy in bad and
he was removed in the fifth. Vaughn
coming to the rescue. The burly Texan
was a trifle wild at first but settled
down and although touched up lively
held the Sox scoreless during the four
remaining chapters.
OF the Nationals five hits Laporte got
two of them, but the new second sacker
had a wretched day in the field and his
miscues proved costly. This is liable. TO
happen in the best regulated families
Grandstand fans upon leaving the park
had their hammers working over time
using Laporte as the anvil and blaming
him for the defeat.
How in the name of goodness any man
clothed in his right mind can make such
absurd statements is beyond understand
Ing.
1t is perfectly true that Laporte con-
tributed three errors, something liable to
happen to any ball player. Such being
the case why should Laporte be blamed
for losing the game when the Nationals
could not score a run.
The White Sox played brilliantly IN the
field and mixed up their hits with Wash
ington errors and bases on balls. Weav
er. Zeider, and Rath figured in double
plays while Collins on first accepted thir-
teen chances without an error.
Double Plays Fatal.
In the second, third. and eighth in
nings the home boys led of with safe
drives but on each occasion the follow
ing batters hit into double plays, very
to fans and players alike.
Laporte connected for a lucky double
In the fifth, sending up a high fly to
Lord. which the right fielder was unable
to get for the reason that he tripped
over his own feet and measured his
length on the grass. Had some of Gala
hams young inf1elder pulled of stunts
like this the Nationals might have had
a chance.
With two down in the White Sox third.
Rath and Mattick were both passed. and
Lord filled the bases when Laporte FUN
bled the Sox captains grounder. Ted
Easterly, former Nap. was sent in as a
pinch hitter and after taking a couple
of healthy swings drove the ball between
Mcbride and Foster, scoring Rath and
Mattick.
Rath started the Chicago fifth with a
single, and advanced to second when
Laporte dropped the ball on a throw
from Williams on Mattick's bunt. Lord
singled to right, filling thf bases Groom
was replaced by Vaughn. The southpaw
promptly walked Callahan. batting for
Mcintyre, and forced in Rath. Collins
singled, the pill coming to Laporte on
bad bound, Mattick scoring on the play.
Zeider famed. but Weaver, batting for
f. johnson, singled TO left. and this
smash sent home Lord and Callahan.
Vaughn then frightened up and famed
Kuhn and Cicotte.
The SOX crowded two hits and stole two
bases into the seventh inning. but We're
unable to score. Fwo safe raps were
recorded in the visitors ninth, but no
runs counted.
