There was absolutely no life in the team,

of playing ball game. It the team ex-
poets to cut any kind Of figure In the
series with the Maps it will have to take
a brace and play the peppery ball which
has marked its games most of the sea-
son. Birmingham's team Is going at q
fast clip and still has hopes OF landing
at the top. It is sure to work its best
in the games here, and 1t should behoove
the Nationals to get back In their best
stride at once.
To date the Nationals have the better

locals have won ten games .s out out
Maps, and. but five games remain
to be decided. and all of them will be
played on the local grounds. 1t Is not
at all unlikely that Boehling and john
son. who are slated to work In the
douhle-header today. will work in two
more of the games in the series. pro-
viding, of course, that their showing to-
day warrants their being returned. Groom
and Engel are the other tWirlers who are
apt to make their appearance against
the visitors during the week.

that Martin was suspended In Chicago
on complaint Of Umpire McGreevey the
same day that Mcbride was put under
the ban. Mcbride was reinstated after
being out a day, but Martin Is still in
eligible. Last Thursday Mcbride was

who yesterday notified Martin of the
fine that was inflicted. Incidentally.

Luther Boone Of Dallas. Tex. an in

Chance yesterday and was hurriedly
workout at short field. The Texan
made a very good impression. and 1t is
not unlikely that he win take Zeiders
place within few days. as the former
White Sox needs rest, his arm being
sore and weak.
Jack Ryan is very much impressed
with Jack Bentley's ability. He be-

he has really had no professional ex-
perience, has the actions of seasoned

Between Ryan and Nick Altrock the
young pitchers Griffith has brought

some good advice. Nick is acting as

Joe Boehling was developed into q
crack left-hander.
Love, the left-hander secured from At

being the tailest pitcher In either major

Griffiths suspension Is still In vogue.
His run-in with Umpire Evans in Phila-
dephia last week evidently is to deprive
him OF the privilege of directing his team
from the bench for some days yet. Incl
