Seventeen games have been played
since June 4. Eleven of these have
been won and six lost AZ the outset
Of the Cleveland series, which was the
6rst western team to visit here, the

seven won and twenty-five lost. with
a percentaee of 51a No team in the
race has made better progress during
the month th- n the Nationals, and the
chances are several more victories Will
be added before the team starts on its
next trip.
Though the Nationals have won three
out of four from the Red SoS they fell
back into the second division yester-
day because of a dual victory which
the Yankees scored over the Mackmen.
But the stay of the locals in NTH
place will be short-lived. Beginning
tomorrow the Yankees will play
series of games with the Red Sox at
Boston, and it is pretty fair guess
that they will receive several setbacks.
while the Nationals will be engaged

not to prove troublesome.
