Have the Nationals inaugurated an
other winning streak like that OF
June? Seven games have been won In
a row, and the next appearance Of the
team will be on the home ground with
Cleveland as its opponent Tuesday.
Just before the last winning streak.
when the Nationals won seventeen be-
fore they lost they had a slump. win
ming but two games of nine they
played on the road. The present good
showing had a similar start. Two
games out of four were lost to Bos-
ton, and then the Athletics came along
and took four straight. But Washing
ton won the fifth and has most none
since. The start Of the big winning
streak was similar. New York took
four straight and Washington won the
lost to Boston. but the fourth one
proved a victory. and after that six
! teen straight were won.
The. similarity of the inauguratio
of the two winning streaks is a re-
markable concurrence, and there may
be repetition of the other surprising
performance
Should this come to pass there is
every reason for figuring Washington
as a pennant possibility. 1t may
bring SneerS to those VINO are IA
miliar with Washington's base ball
history to talk of local team and a
pennant in the same breath, but facts
are facts, and on what has been accom-
plished and on what the future prom
ises on form there is no denying that.
barring Boston, which apparently has
a comfortable lead. no team has a bet
ter chance to land at the top of the
heap than the Nationals.
1t is argued, and not without reason
that team which has pennant aspra-
tions must have a strong pitching staff
Compare the Nationals corps with that of
any other team. and it is hard to figure
where Washington has any the worst of
IT. Johnson undoubtedly compares favor
able with the star pitcher of any one of
the other teams. On what he has shown
there is no choice between Groom and
the second best man on any of the rival
ageresations. The pitching records of
the present season will come pretty near
to proving this contention. Take the
rest of the local staff and compare it
with the pitchers of opposing teams and
| it will probably be concluded that Grit
| fifth is as well fortified in this respect
as any of the others.
| The most important department in q
| ball team after the pitchers have been
: considered are the catchers. What

His Team Has Accomplished.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 6.-"Well. we're fiat
in second place. said Griffith after the
game was over and he was all smiles as
he was congratulated by New York
friends. and. make no mistake. he has
plenty Of them in New York. I'VE may
be shaken out OF second place again, but,
believe me. it will take a little something
to< do 1t. This team goes along and
earns all that it gets. We haven't had
thing handed to u.s. Our row has
been harder than that of some other
teams. There always has been a notion
that Washington, being the under dog,
could take almost any old thing that
happened and smile about it. NOWADAYS
when we get into the city folks come
around and talk to us and we get the big
clans at the hotels as we'll as the little
ones. The players of the Washington
club are entitled to lot OF credit be-
cause they have made the other clubs of
the league respect Washington, and it
has been discovered. too. that Washing
ton, like all other cities, is a good city
for base ball when it has a good base
ball club. You see, the Washingtons
aren't afraid to take a few chances in
these days. Maybe you noticed that
Milan scored from first on a tumble. /

was played by Washington was SO con-
servative that no one would have thought
of doing such thing
Mcconnell was put in as pinch hitter
in the ninth inning, and for the
first time got away with a pinch hit. 1t
was fun TO see Tom Hughes try to get
the ball. He knocked It down. but stum-
bled and fell all over himself trying for
IT, After he had got through falling he
rolled around awhile. But he didn't give
up trying to get the ball, and when he
did get his fingers on II fired 1t at Gan
dill He was beginning to see visions of
another tie and wanted to stop 1t. I'm
luckily for Hughes. he fired the ball into
the New York players bench. instead
of into GandiIs hands. Then he got up
and pitched his head off to keep the
Highlanders from making more than one
run, as one run would not do them any
good.
Ii was the first appearance Of Gandil
in New York. and there WAS lot OF
curiosity on the part OF the fans who
were present. When Gandil hit the ball
over second base for a single on his first
time up a wise>man leaned back and said
that any one could see why Grifath went
after him. But maybe Gandil hasn',
made a difference with the Nationals by
the manner in which he scoops up any
old kind of a throw which comes toward
| him. IL doesn't matter what the throw
is il only he can get his hands on the
ball.
It looks very much as IL Earl Gard

Barry opened the fourth by receiving a
pass and went to second on Lapps IN

crowd with a triple to left. which scored
Barry. and came home on Lords sacrifice
fly to Lewis.
Bender was hit hard in the fifth and
Boston scored four runs. With one down.
Hendrixsen, who went in to bat for
Cicotte, tripled TO left. and scored on
Hooper's double to the same garden.
Yerkes grounded out to Baker, but Speak

scoring Hooper and placing Speaker on
third. Gardner then hit long fly to
Lord, who let the ball slip through his
fingers and both Speaker and Lewis
scored.
Gardner however was caught in trying
to make third on the play, Lord making
a beautiful throw to Baker.
Bender was working In poor form. and
in the following inning Boston tailed
another run, when Carrigan doubled and
scored on Halls single to right He was
replaced in the seventh by Coombs, who
walked the first three men to face him.

team In the American League can boast
of pair like Henry and Ainsmith, not
to speak OF Williams, who is given a
chance to work only occasionally? Grif-
running ON the part Of the opposition-a
great advantage beyond doubt.
There are other teams which are
superior in the batting department to
ting strength and more speed than sew
erai can boast Of As a fielding aggrega-
ton there is no occasion for worry.
Shanks. Milan and Moeller are a speedy
trio in the out1ed. Gandil is by far the
best first baseman in the league. Nc
Bride is conceded to have no superior as
fielding shortstop. Foster easily the
head OF the third baseman and Morgan,
a youngster, fields more cleverly every
day, and has shown a lot OF form with
the stick.
What is more the Nationals are in sec
Ond place, apparently security anchor
ed for the time being at least. Boston
is the only team which has an edge on
all ball teams must have slump. there
Is still one of these discouraging periods
coming to the team from the Huo.
Washington surely has made better
showing In the race than any OF the
teams of the west due to visit here in the
next two weeks. The very standing of
the clubs in the race proves this, and
unless there be a remarkable reversal of
form the Nationals should win large
majority of these games. The two teams
which have proved the greatest obstacles
in the way of the Nationals have been
Boston and Philadelphia. There remain
but thirteen games to play with this pair.
seven with the Athletics and six with the
Red Sox. All the other games on the
schedule are with teams which have
proved themselves decidedly weaker than
the locals. hence should prove another
great advantage. Furthermore. if the
slump of the Athletics In the series
against Boston which just closed should
prove that teams undoing, as is gener-
ally believed, 1t Is not going to be trouble
some later in the season, for once the
champions are out OF running for the
pennant they will not put up much Of a
struggle. That Is the history Of all cham
pionship teams which start on IT,, down
grade
When Clarke Griffith gave it as his opin-
ion a couple of weeks ago that Washing
ton would beat out the Athletics In the
race there were many who were doubt
ful about his judgment, and yet present
indications are such that Grif1th's pre-
diction may be realized. There is no
getting away from the fact that Connie

last half of the sixth the Highlanders
came back strong and took the lead
again Sterrett Zinn and Simmons
singled in succession. Sterrett went to
third on his hit because Milan fum-

Daniels Misjudge Helps.
For two innings the pitchers of both
teams were skirmishing along the front
Of the battle line, picking OF the batters

high fly, close to the foul line. Daniels
set himself about where he figured the
ball would land, and when the wind
tossed 1t little Daniels couldn't sidestep
quickly enough and put up both hands
and made an artistic two-hand muff. The
next two batters were put out quickly
enough. and then Moeiler clipped the
ball amidship and shot it on a line over
