!, the Red Sox have lost to st. Louis this
year.
Griffith will use Groom and Cashion
/ against the Browns, and he is confident
that this pair will be able to hold the
visitors in check.
The reception which Eddie Cicotte got
from his old teammates in Boston yes
convincing Manager Callahan that he
picked UP a lemon in the dumpy little
:, twirler Cicotte did not finish the first
inning because OF rain. but while he was
delivery and the side had not been re-
tired when the game had to be called
/ off. This is one of the Severest dr1lbbings
that a major league pitcher has received
| In years, but, of course, it will not go
into the records, because no game was
| played
| Cashions work against the Browns to-
day will be watched with interest. When
the big fellow made his last appearance
j here against Cleveland. Groom had been
| knocked out of the box in the first in
| ming. four runs had been scored, and
the bases were still full Cashion forced
| in two runs, but after that settled down
and for the next six innings allowed but
two hits and one run. He made a par
ticullarly good showing, and showed SO
| much Improvement in his work that Grit
| fifth was convinced that he had struck
| his gait and would do good work from
| this out. Griffith figures that If Cash
+! ion can become consistent performer
his teams chances to land on top will
be much improved, for once Casfion gets
control he is going to be hard man to
| hit, and his physique is such that he will
| be able to do a whole lot of work.
| The rest which the Nationals enjoyed
yesterday should be of great benefit to
/ them. The players have had rather
hard and hot siege of 1t for the past few
weeks, and a little lay-off is probably
| just what they needed to have them re-
| gain their old form. In the last few
games the teams hitting has not been
/ up to the standard, and II this Is i'm
proved from now out victories will come
| much more easily.
! Only in the event Of serious injury will
! George Mcbride eyer be taken out OF a
game again. No matter how long lead
the Nationals may gain In a game, Nc
Bride will go through to the finish. This
announcement comes from Griffith. He
realizes that it breaks up his team to
take Mcbride out and he will never ia -e
any more chances, though there are sure
| to be times when SO strenuous a worker
as Mcbride would be benefited by little
rest. But the experience Of last Wednes-
day has convinced Griffith that it was not
a wise move.

Granting that the Nationals do not lose
any ground during the remaining games
Of the present invasion Of the western
teams, which ends with the four-game
series Detroit opens here Monday, the
next trip through the west will come
pretty near to deciding the position Crit
fith's team will hold at the end Of the
season Should the team repeat its per-
Torrance of the first trip and go through
the west without being charged with a
defeat the chances are that 1t will return
here in first place. Much, however, wiz
depend on what sort of showing Boston
and Philadelphia will make on the trip.
1t must be conceded that all of the
western teams are doing better work now
than they did month ago. Detroit.
Chicago. Cleveland and even ST. Louis
have taken a. brace. and the chances are
that the going in the west will be at
tended by more difficulties than hereto
fore.
II the local team can make a clean sweep
Of the remaining three games with the
Browns and get three ont of four from
Detroit it will be in a splendid position
for the western trip. There is no reason
for expecting slump, for the team when
intact has enough strength to warrant its
present position. and. in fact when it is
hitting up to Its standard, which it has not
been doing of late, it will look a whole
lot more formidable. The one task which
Griffith has on his hands is to keep his
players hustling. and to date he has been
very successful in this respect
There, must be some sort of a hoodoo
following that Cleveland team about.
No team in either league has been
Handicapped so much by injuries to it's
players rs the Maps, and that goes
over period Of years. Just when
Davis team seemed to be going better
than at any time this season Lajoie
is spiked and is now in hospital with
blood poisoning. and a few days ago
Joe Jackson had to get out OF the game
with an injured leg. 1t stands to rea-
son that a team which loses the serv-
ices Of a couple OF 400 hitters cannot
be expected to make much of show
ing. 1t has been so with the Maps for
years. On few occasions indeed has
that team been intact. and to large
extent its failure year after year can
be attributed to the fact that its hest
players are usually out OF the game
on the hospital list.
It certainly reflects on the integrity
OF the lighting game to have the prin-
cipals of a bout insist on their own
referees 1t would seem that men who
are experienced In handling a pugilis-
tic bout would all have the reputation
OF being honest. yet there Is hardly

Another recruit has been added to the
, Eby, and he halls from North York. Pa
lie joined the team this morning. and will
be given a trial agairs> the batters be-
fore the first game today.
Eby was recommended 70 Manager
Griffith by William Hollander, short
stop of last years Georgetown Jniver-
sity team. Hollander has seen Eby work
in a number Of games this summer. and
wrote Griffith that the youngster had the
making OF a good pitcher. Griffith in
structed Hoilander to bring Eby on here
and the two arrived this morning. Eby
is twenty years old and is described as
Weighing $50 pounds
Griffith never turns down q proposition
which gives him a chance TO secure a
young pitcher. He believes that just as
many good pitchers can be secured from
the sandlots as from the minor leagues
and he likes to get them before they are
seasoned, so that he can educate them
himself. Ely has been pitching for an
independent team near York. and has q
clean record for the season, and it is be-
cause Of this that Griffith has taken a
chance and sent for him.
A dual victory by the Nationals over
the Browns today might be the means
of Strengthening the hold Of Griffith S
team on second place and incidentally
putting it nearer to Boston. To bring
this about however Boston and Phila-
delphia would have to drop one of the
two games they are to play today. which.
however, is not improbable.
But Grifith's team is going to be busy
winning both ends Of the double header
from the Browns. Bargain natinees have
not been breaking well for the locals this
year, and while there is great Differ
ence in the standing OF the two teams,
the two games Wednesday proved that
the Browns are not as easy picking as
tailenders usually are.
The giving away of the second game
Wednesday may have been blessing In
disguise in that 1t must have brought
the locals to the realization that it does
not pay to take anything for granted
and that nothing can be overlooked. even
though a weak team is being played.
The fact that Jack Powell, the most
effective pitcher Of Stovaus staff. is
slated to work in one Of the games is
enough to assure the locals of having
at least one session in which they will
be up against good pitching. Powell beat
Boston on this trip. IN the only game that

would be well to confine this position
to individuals who have proven them
senves competent and honest, and
eliminate those who are under sus-
picion.
HuShey Jennings contends that the
Boston Red Sox lack confidence in them
selves. and that this failing will eventu-
ally beat them out OF the pennant.
That is a rather peculiar charge to
make of a team which has been leading
the league all season and is giving no
indications of relinquishing its hold on
first place. II the team lacked conf
dence in itself at one time it would seem
to have gained it by reason of its splendid
performance to date.
Yet Jennings charges may be proven II
the pinch ever gets close, SO that the Red
may fail and from a Washington stand
point that period cannot come any too
soon. But there is no getting away
from the fact that Boston has good
ball team and one which is going to be
mighty hard to beat in the present race.
The front runner in any line OF sport
is a dubious Investment for the specula-
tive. This Is VIGOROUSLY true of horse
racing, where 1t is the exception for the
horse that heads the field at the quarter
to finish in front at the end Of mile,
notwithstanding the fact that he saves
ground rounding the turns.
In base BAH the early season teams
seldom stand up throughout, though &C.
casionally. as in all lines. club is SO
superior to it's competitors as to make a
joke of-the race.
This season has seen two notable blow
ups and is right now about to display a
third. The White Sox went very sadly to
the bad in the American League. while
the Cincinnati Reds lasted just long
enough to make Steinland fans think they
had live one in O'Day.
Now the Giants are weakening. Only
three victories out of ten games played
since the club went west has worked
least temporarily the team IS slipping.
McGraw is paying fancy prices for all
sorts of pitching talent in the hope Of
landing something able to halt the descent
Of the club.
But it's difficult thing to stop a
slump" The men may be trying their
best, and there may be no friction In the
team. vet the temperarnertal balance of
the club has been disturbed and conf
dcnce is hard to restore.
Only two or three instances are on rec
ord of teams starting well. breaking in
midseason and coming on again to win
out Detroit did it twice under Hugh
Jennings. who renodeled his inf1eld on
two occasions in the middle of a cham
pionship race. and yet won.
McGraw says it's a better one than that
which won him the worlds championship
in 1905. So the Giants slump will prob
ably merely serve to revive interest in
what promised to be runaway race.

THE NET. \ Novel BY Rex Beach.
illustrated. limo. PIP. 1873. Harper *
Bros.
Mr.. Beach has built up his story
around the New Orleans lynchings Of
1890. and a good story il Is, full Of
movement and action, suspense and
danger and. of course. Of romance
The plot starts in Sicily, home OF the
Malta. with a double assassination u
which a young American is the only
his lack Of courage. Returned home,
he forces himself TO acquire it by serv-
ing term as sheriff in Texas. Then
he starts In business in New Orleans
where the threads Of the Siciiian epi-
sode are taken up and woven into a
complicated pattern. IL is a detective
story OF parts. in which the criminals
hide but do not fee. fighting back from
cover with deviiish ingenuity. The
comic detective. possibly introduced
with view 10 later dramatiza-
ton. docs not interfere with the in
creasiuG suspense. and, last, but not
least. there is the mystery Of the
Slcillan hancee OF one OF the Sicilian
victims. and Of the daughter Of the
other, who disappeared on the morrow
OF the murder. swearing sicllian VEN
gcance. Mr. Beach skilfully makes his
descriptions Of the island and city con-
tribute 10 the atmosphere OF cropping
darkness, and his plot starts with d
rush that never FOR a moment relaxes.
