Crucial Games Come.

PHILADELPHIA, July THE second
invasion of the East by the West opens
today. the Jungaleers starting the pro-
Park. The worlds champions have now

front. in spite of all the wise ones. "
said CAPTAIN Ira Thomas today. CLARK
Griffith announced he was going 10
bring US back. What did he do? He's
lucky to be in the first division. with
out talking about leading the race
Bender isn't quite right yet. but Plank
IS as good as ever he was. Both Of
them will be in there when the crucial
games come along, and that's a couple
of months away. The Athletics will
win the championship again this year
and that, Of course. means the worlds
title. for the Giants don't class with
u.s."
Chief Bender enjoyed a workout IN
the final clash with the Yankees and
got away with a victory. to 0. He
held the Chancemen to four hits, but

walks he handed out. The Mackmen

Schang singled. putting over two runs.

Is twenty-three years old, and stands
close to six feet. He is not powerful

a sharp breaking curve ball that he

That st. Louis is thoroughly awakened
to the baseball situation generally, and
as It affects the Browns In particular,
is shown that for the nrst time four
papers have sent STAFF correspondents.
Clarence Lloyd, Louis Arms, Herman
wecke. and James Darst are the
chroniclers who are here for TIE series.
In the fourth inning of yesterday
game, Speaker hooked fly along the
right field foul line that looked as
though it might go for extra bases. as
it did not appear possible that Dan
MoeIler would be able to reach it. A
long sprint finally brought the right
fielder under the ball. and he got noth
hands on 1t, only to allow 1t to Hitter
through his fins.
Some have scored it a hit, but from
where We sat II did not appear ur-
reasonable to expect the outfelder TO
hold on once he reached the leather,
hence the error instead Of a double.
As the clubs OF the West were on
their way East yesterday. none Of them
PLAYED. and the victory OF Walter over
Rankin frightened the grip OF the Ma
tionals on the third place. While only
a step ahead of the Boston Red Sox. the
Nationals are right on the heels of the
Detroit Tigers. So the question of the
hour is II the Griffmen can cop from st.
Louis. who will the crowd here be pull
ing for in the series at Philadelphia
Both Of these teams are leading the
Griffs, but there will surely be a set
back for one or the other this week.
and il Griffith can keep his team COM
ing along II will simply add to the
general frenzy which now exists In the
whole realm of major league baseball.
As result OF the victory of yester-
day, the Nationals are now on even
terms with Boston in the interclub
series. the count being eight wins and
eight loses.
The Washington times., 1914-07-07

Of the squeezing situations there was
little to choose between the two slab
bists.
After the seventh inning Rankin
Johnson gave way to an emergency hit
that just closed that Walter saw his
namesake retreatinE in defeat.
The play on which Mcbride won the
game in the fourth inning was as un-
expected as Ii was brilliant. There was
double into left field. Speaker went far
into the outer garden to get drive
from Ainsmith. Spoke" made a neat
catch and got the ball away from hIl.
fast. but the heave did not have the
direction TO stop Mcbride before he
could reach third.
With Johnson up and no particular in
dications that the much wanted safety
would be forthcoming. Mcbride started
when Rankin johnson began to wind
and be gathered by Thomas. the Young
catcher, Mcbride was safe. and The
game was won.
After having had umpirine BY Chill
and Sheridan that was narrowing
enough to bring tears to the eyes OF
a hobby horse. Washington tandom is
pleased to know that there has been
a change. and that Bill Evans and
Jack Egan are today in our midst.
Considering the fact that the battles
between Philadelphia and Detroit are of
most intense Importance in the present
tense condition OF things generally in
the American League, do not be sur
prised, ladies and gentlemen. IL you
should find that Chill and Sheridan are

he exposed the jurist as tool of the

Mr.. Roland presented TO Judge
CLAYTON remarkable series of re-
verses which, he said, came after Judge
Archibald had been tried by the Sen :

traced all his troubles to the date on
which he began his fight against Arch

asked Judge Clayton if congress could
not protect him from a community
of interests that he was powerless to
fight. alone.
Judge Clayton told Boland that his
committee had no jurisdiction in the
case, unless it could be shown that
some court officer had been a party
to any conspiracy that might exist.
