Though St Louis holds q 1owly position
In the pennant race, it must not be fig
ured easy picking for the Nationals. Sto-
vail has a pitching staff that is always
troublesome and it Will require the locals
best efforts to win a majority Of the four
games the visitors are to play here In
the recent series with the Browns IN st.
Louis the Nationals were forced to the
limit to win three games, and all of the
four were close scores. three Of them pc
ing won by a single run.
1t will require good work on the part OF
the local pitchers to make the series a
success, for If the Browns twirlers are
III form they are not apt to yield many
runs.
Griffith will start Joe Engel in the game
today, and he will very likely be opposed
by Leverenz, one of the cleverest south
paws in the league. Engel pitched sp!en-
did game of ball against the Browns in
hard-fought to game. Engel displayed
better form in this game than in any 9TH
er he ever pitched for the Nationals, and
it is believed that he has finally struck
his stride and will be one OF the team
winning twirlers from this out.
1t is Grif1th's intention to pitch john
son Saturday, and he then expects to have
him ready for emergencies during the
remainder of the week and 1t is likely
that he will not pitch another game un-
til next Saturday, which Is to be johnson
day at the ball park.
According to DR.. Larkin, the club sur
geon. Howard Shanks will not be out OF
the game as long as was expected. An
X-ray examination disclosed the fact that
no bones are broken in Shanks' foot. and
that the trouble is nothing more than a
severe strain. Shanks will remain in the
Georgetown Hospital for a few days, aft
er which his injury Is expected to mend
rapidly, so that there is good chance of
his returning to the lineup within ten
porte will alternate in left field, the latter
playing whenever a left-handed pitcher
Is working against the Nationals.
Harry Harper, the young lefr-hander.
who has been with the Nationals for the
past month. but only worked for a few
innings against the Athletics, is to have
his first chance to start a game some day
next week. according to Manager Grit
fifth Harper has created the impression
among his teammates that he can win a
lot Of games. He shows up SO well in
practice that he creates the impression
that he is finished pitcher.
Harper pitched for the East Doug las,
Mass. team July 1. He shut out his
opponents and struck out sixteen men.
He made SO good an impression that the
same club has engaged him to pitch a
game at Woonsocket Saturday. He
leaves for that city tonight. The Douglas
club. in order to assure Harper's coming.
sent Manager Griffith q check for 500
and in addition will pay Harper a good
sum for his trouble. Griffith figures that
this game at Woonsocket will have the
youngster ready for his first game here
next week.

Just why President Ban Johnson has
refused to investigate the charge made
by Frank Chance that the condition OF
Zeider was not as represented when he
was negotiating the e-Zeider-BOrtor
trade is not plain.
There is. of course, no question abou,
Zeider having been worthless to the New
York club since joining that team. Ac-
cording to the players own statement. he
was in an unfit condition to play ball fol
several weeks while in Chicago and be-
fore the deal was made. If what Chance
been unfairly dealt with by one of It's
partners in the league. and such practices
should not be tolerated.
Furthermore it would seem that every
club in the circuit would be interested to
have the New York club strengthened. TIC
have a winner in New York would mean
increased profits for the other clubs. But
whenever It is a question of ball players
their associates and 1t is a case of every
man for himself
But the fact that Chance makes the
charges referred to should call for an in
vestigation. The Chicago club should
either be exonerated or should be forced
has suffered by reason Of Zeider's unfit
ness.
With lead Of twelve games to back
him up. it is not at all surprising that
Connie Mack says that he does not fear
any OF the other pennant contenders
Just so long as the Athletics remain In
their present stride they are not going to
lose much ground. In fact. 1t is conceded
that the only chance there is for the team
not to finish first would be in the event OF
series Of accidents weakening the ag-
gregation. No one believes that under
normal conditions 1t will be possible to
pass the Mackmen In the present race,
yet stranger things have happened in
base ball, and 1t should behoove the Ma
tionals to hang as close to the leaders as
possible. for IL there should come a break
they might slip into first place. Judged
on what the various teams have done to
date, there Is no reason why the Ma
tionals should not be the runners-up in
the race again this year. Grifith's team
seems to play better ball than any of it's
rivals for the second berth. Grifith

failed to climb into second place while
playing in the west.
While credit for the development Of Joe
Boehling has been given various mem
bers of the local team, the fact of the
matter is that Boehling owes much of
his success to Clark Griffith. 1t is not
divulging secret to say that BOehling
.. resented instructions from any one on
the team excepting Griffith? There was
one stage Of the training season when the
young southpaw was passed up by his
teammates because he had ideas of his
own Griffith. however, recognized Boeh-
lings ability from the outset when most
folks were dubious about the youngster.
The individual who claims credit for tip
ping Griffith off to Boehling was under
the impression that he had erred in so
doing, and only few weeks back, before
Boehling started to win, this chap wanted
Griffith to let Boehling go back to the
minors.
Not SO long ago Ed Walsh and Doc
White were the mainstays of the White
Sox pitching staff. The idea of that team
in the past going on trip without this
pair was never .s dreamed I. Of. and yet it
White have been left home by Manager
Callahan. Neither Is able to deliver for the
team, and chance is being taken that
a rest will help them recover their form
But the chances are that both the former
concerned. Walsh's arm has lost its cum
ming. The strain under which he worked
for several years finally told on him, and
it is the opinion of those who have seen
him pitch this spring that his days as a
pitcher are over. Doc Whites arm has
lust worn out He has been In the game
for twelve years or more.
The Callahan system of working his
pitchers is not calculated to make a
twirler last very long. He is apt to
work q good pitcher every day IL he
thinks 1t necessary to win, and pitch
ers do not stand that sort of a strain.
Tex Russell, the brilliant southpaw of
the Sox. has been overwOrked and did
not show his usual stuff in the games
against the Nationals.
II seems that the letting out Of Jake
StahI was forced on Jim McAleer. The
story. from a reliable source, goes like
this: The papers had been insinuating
that Stahl would not be retained to
manage the Red Sox next season. Stahl,
nnnn seeing this rumor printed, went
~ McAIeer and asked him what there
was in these stories.

Unless the Brooklyns beat the Pirates
today they will have gone through two
series without a victory over the Pitts
burgers at Ebbets Field. Their only win
from the Pirates was in Pittsburgh and
they have lost six to them in Brooklyn.
On the other hand the Cardinals haven't
won game in Brooklyn this year. The
Phillies in eight attempts at the Polo

BLETHEN' S INVITATION
CAUSES FRICTION IN
FEDERATION MEET
UNITED PRESS LEASED wiRH.I

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 14.-By an over
whelming vote, delegates to the Amer
lean Federation of Labor convention
here today defeated the recommends
tion of the executive council to change
the date of holding conventions from
November to the second Monday in
June. The same provision carried with
it the prOviso that no convention be
held in 1914, and that the next meeting
be in San Francisco in 1915.
1t is now the opinion of many dele
gates that there will be convention
next year.
A whole sheaf of kilograms from city
officials and union members in Fort
Worth, urging the convention to select
the Texas city for its 1914 session,
were read, and Texas delegates distrib
uted postcards advertising the advan-
tages Of Fort Worth.
The convention adjourned at II
O'Clock for committee work, to meet
again tomorrow morning.
After a hot debate the delegates
