PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. T.-With
rain today. preventing the Nationals
from playing the Athletics the double
header scheduled. the season will close
with at least one game unpiayed SIM
ply because Ben shibe. president OF the
philadelphia club. is influential enough
to laugh ut the rules OF the American
League. This Is something for Ban
johnson to look into and decide.
Under the rules, the Nationals should
have played two games yesterday. COM
ing after a postponed game in the final
series. A decision might have been
reached in one ghme. In that case
another doublehcader could have been
booked for today. But Connie Mack
chose to advertise Walter johnson to
pitch yesterday. hoping TO draw q large
crowd to the single game on that ac-
count. The crowd was smail. though. not
more than 2.0o0 turning out to see tho
game. The fans all waited for today 8
scheduled doubleheader.
Wednesday Open Date.
II may yet be possible for the M
tonala to play OF yesterdays game.
Next Wednesday they have an open
date. II bad weather does not inter-
fere with the New York games in this
city. II may be possible for the Ma
tionals to come over here on wednes-
day and play the Mackmen. Rain next
Tuesday will kill this plan. though. for
then the Athletics will have to play
the Highlanders on Wednesday. Per-
haps Connie Mack prefers this.

Philadelphia luck against the Nationals
Hughes looked great for six innings

Eddie Murphy, the youngster bought

Herman schaeter kept the throng

Nationals would win the ,pennant and
had to shout II to make the fans hear.
They didn't believe him.
Walter Johnson's great speed made
him unhittable In the closing innings.

he let down.

Go to It. Grin.

Manager Griffith has every right in
the world on bis side in taking UP the
postponements at Philadelphia when
Copnie Mack forced one game on the
schedule. There is every Indication that
the Nationals will not be able to count
one of the three games with the Ath-
ietics. Yesterdays tie and a probable
postponement Of the, douDie-header to-
day. will mean that Grin has lost an
excellent chance to down the Athletics.

Hoodoo at work.

All this season the Nationals have
been chased by a jinx when facing the
Athletics. On but one occasion has
the luck broken In favor Of the Griff-
men and that was on the return here
after the long string of victories. Any
thing like luck would have won yes
terday's contest. Hughes pitched great
ball up to that fatal inning and Wal
ter johnson has to cut loose on a wild
one which allowed a tie.
