Old Fox. who knows more about pitching
than any one else. that the time is not
far off when Joe Engel will be one of the
Musser. a youth of ability. and who
knows but what in time he may be able
to teach Jim Vaughn enough TO make
him a winner. In addition he Will have
a lot of green hands to Try out in the
spring. that the prospects for a great
pitching staff are particularly bright at
this time.
Notwithstanding the lead which Boston
has. the Nationals chances surely are
better to pass them I'm the race than
their chances seemed when the season
opened for beating out the Athletics,
which is now most probable. Just how
great odds betting man could have
secured had he proposed that Washington
would beat out Philadelphia can't he
ina gined. and it is not unlikely that such
an individual would have been questioned
as to his sanity. Yet with the season
almost over the Nationals are leading
the worlds champions and are eight and
half games behind Boston There docs
seem to be a better chance TO overcome
this lead than there Was in the spring to
beat out Mack's men.
There is never amy telling what NAV
happen in base ball Its uncertainty is
responsible for its popularity. and where
there is even remote chance there Is
always hope.
The most admirable feature of the
Nationals playing is that under all
circumstances Griffith has his players
hustling. Even during the recent
slump the team was playing its best
all the time, and to this can be at
tributed the fact that another win
ming streak is under way. There IL
no way to discourage the locals. They
go into every game to win. and this
gives them wonderful advantages
over many teams which when once
getting the worst Of the breaks never
recover.

wears have tried to make II appear
that it was a toss up between Cobp
and Jackson as to which was the
greater player have done Tyrus an in

but that lets him out. He is not the
fielder that is Cobb nor displays 4
grain of intelligence in his playing.
Neither has he the spirit that has the

jackson can do which should be men

Up to the seventh inning the Maps had

Steen could not be scored until the
