This afternoon after Bob Gardner and

a splendid medal play contest In which
the three crack players. Messrs. Travers,

played fine golf from the start Of the
tournament. with his brother Tom

american Golfer trophy and his scores
have been worthy of a ~semi-hnalist at
least. His recovcries to-day from the

fulness and there was no ~faltering when
he was 4 down thAonly nine TO play.
He brought the match down to two holes

til the thirty-ffth hole that a decision
was reached. Our medal scores could
have been improved upon in the morn

play was h advantage which each
player took OF the opportunities to win.
In only one instance was there a fail

done at the Az yard second. where his
great brassey shot left him with n our
foot putt for a 3. two strokes under

rectly IN Sherman's line. Sherman thus
was deprived of his chance for n 2. as
there was no chance for him to pitch

hole In 3. which probably would have

Pitching Staff Is Being Burned
Up to Offset Weakness With
the Stick.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

In spite Of the respite in the matter
Of defeat the fact Is still today self
evident that the Nationals continue to
be In the throes of one of the worst
batting slump ever experienced by
team representing this city In the
majors.
In the game of yesterday Jim Shaw
was returned a winner, but 1t was ny
the slimmest sort Of margin the Grin
men being forced to be contented with
half a dozen hits, while the sensa-
tional White Sox could get but four
off the Griffithian twirling selection.
1t may be that the men who are to-
be able to startle by sudden return
to the form that was expected OF them.
But there Is nothing at present to
Justify such prediction. Barring that
rush at Philadelphia when the Atm
letics were smothered, there has been
nothing IN an offensive way to prove
encouraging.
One thing that the ordinary baseball
supporter seems to overlook in his
praise OF tho Washington pitchers in
their present campaign is the tact that
weakness OF the battars reflects in a
marked degree on the twirlers.
Earring possibly St, Louis there Is
has pitchers who should be sym
pathized with 10 the same degree as
Washington. The battalion that Grif-
fifth has Communicated has proven
itself excellent under the most dis
couraging circumstances.
Give pitcher couple OF runs
early In the game and he Is in a po-
sition where he Is the monarch OF all
that he surveys Opposing weak

one OF the artillerists. But as the
Washington moundsmen have been
going OF late it has been necessary to
keep moving al white heat.
gestinE that unless this strain is re-
lieved it may prove most costly be-
fore the ides OF October.
While considering the elimination, of
