playing in st. Louis recently, and only
wanted 10 per cent of the gross receipts

Hedges to turn it over to the other club.

slice OF the other fellows profits. I
should think that in a bad baseball
year like this has been. Hedges would
have been glad to donate the plant for
almost nothing. because anything that

Griffmen Rest Before Contests
With Connie MaCk's Champions
Morning and Afternoon Games Scheduled for Tomorrow Bentley
and Ayers Being Booked to Twir-Litte Chance for
Cargan's Red Sox to Land Pennant
By THOMAS KIRBY.

The Nationals are here today resting
before one of the most strenuous weeks
OF the whole campaign.
Tomorrow they play morning and att
ernoon games with the greatest team IN
the universe. and on Tuesday double up
with the same band OF Athletics. On
Wednesday,. Thursday. and Friday the
New York Yanks will be the guests on
Georgia avenue. and on Saturday will
come the Boston Red SoN for the COM
mencement of a series of games.
The developments Of Friday and Sat
urday at New York would indicate that
Griffith is now considerably better off
in the matter of pitchers than 1t was
expected that he would be. Aerial
flights by the men who are supposed to
he the principal bulwark of defense
wrecked the Griffmcns ch?n"" Get1"e
they departed for their short trip 70
New York. but the manner in which
Jim Shaw came through on Friday
eased the mind of rhe manager TO no
sm'Ll extent.
Johnny Bentley will probably be called
upon to pitch the morning game to-
morrow against the Athletics. and in
tie afternoon it will be Doc A.'ers. who
will leave the bench with the hope and
determine ton of stopping the greatest
hitting team that exists.
If this pair can come through IN
reasonably good shape. it will mean the
use of Walter Johnson and Jim Shaw
in the double-header of Tuesday. which
Was brought about through the drawn
battle in the eliminating game of the
last set which the Philadelphians play
ed In this city.
Do not be misIed by false gods into
believing that in the final month of
the season Boston is TO overtake the
Athletics.
1t may be that all baseball history
is TO be reversed and that the Red SoN
may be able to upset the club that is
today breezing merrily along toward
another championship. But there is no
real justification for such a feeling.
Boston has won the last three games
from the Mackmen machine, but that
means little considering the command
ing lead which the Athletics have OBJ
tanned through their spurt after a rath-
er disastrous month in June.
The last time the Nationals were in
Philadelphia the Athletics looked like the
best ball club the writer has ever seen
