Washington fans have now seen the three
teams in action here who are occupying
the first three positions in the American
League race. and they are as much
IN the dark as to the outcome of the pen
nant fight as they were before they had
"a chance to see the real contenders.
One thing is certain. it is not going to
require wonderful ball team to win the
flag this season. The team which plays
consistently and has its share of the
breaks is the one which is going to- cop
the bunting. and it is not easy to pick
the one this will be None of the three
contenders in their games here has stood
out
Chicago dropped two out of three here,
Detroit reversed this record, but was
mighty lucky to win any of the games it
had scheduled here. To date Boston has
won one and lost two. and the chances
are very bright for the Nationals to win
both of the two remaining games, thus
winning the series
There is whole lot of satisfaction to
be found in the fact that the Griffmen
have not been outclassed by the three
strong teams. True, the locals have not
yet struck consistent stride this season
Iol lHeS nave DeeI playing III ana out,

strongest clubs In the league, their show
ing has been decidedly satisfactory In
tact, the Griffmen must be figured as
having chance to be very prominent in
the present race before it is over 1t has
but to play consistent ball of the kind
that has marked the majority of their
games lately, to beat out one or two of
the three strong teams.
Though it is by the shortest kind of
a margin, the locals returned to fourth
place yesterday. winning while the
Yankees were idle. 1t is to be hoped
that they will not suffer another set
back from this out.
Walter Johnson is slated for the
game today, and while it has not been
gan, it is not at all unlikely that Ray
Collins will be pitted against the local
speed king. In selecting Collins, Carri-
gan is merely acting in the hope that
his big left-hander will repeat one of
his many performances in which he
has beaten Walter Johnson in 1-to-O
games. This was regular habit of
Collins for several years, but, of course
1t is questionable whether he is in as
good form now as he was then
Carrigan, however, is very apt to
take the chance, for, judging on the
poor form that the rest of his twirlers
have shown here, Collins is the logical
man.
Howard Shanks seems to improve
with every game. He is now easily
the most dangerous hitter in the To-

Gals lineup. Yesterday he came
through with two hits and a sacrlnce,
on which the squeeze play was worked.
and his safety in the fifth did much to
help the Nationals to the three runs
scored in this inning. But Howard
marred his perfect fielding record yester-
day in the second inning when he got
Gardner's high fly tangled up IN the
sun and dropped it. 1t was ms nrst
misplay of the year. and. under the
circumstances, was really eXcusable.
Ainsmith got triple and "A double
off Pennock, but the triple was the
only one of the hits which helped the
Nationals. Ainsmth foolshly tried to
stretch his double into a triple, when
there was not a possible chance Tor
him to reach that base. He was thrown
out by yards, and as his drive started
the inning, chance to score at least
one run in that round was thrown
away.
There was nothing particularly i'm
presSlVe about the playing of the Red
sox yesterday. The teams field work
was not up to the standard. and there
is also lack of real ambition in the
general playing of the team, which is
sure to handicap it in its struggle for
the flag.
Harry Hooper either takes kindly to
the local grounds for his hitting or he

now. Two hits were added to his four
of the day previous, and he is on a
iair way to crawl up with the three
hundred hltters in very short time
If he can continue the pace he has been
setting in the games here.
Jim Shaw finished the game in good
fashion, pitching three and two-thirds
innings without allowing a run. He
walked but one man and allowed three
hits The work yesterday should be
of great help to the youngster, and it
is to be hoped that Manager Griffith
will make an effort to work him regu-
larly and keep him in form. With
Shaw. going as he ought to he is sure
to win lot of games for the Griff-
men, and it would greatly increase
their chances in the present race to
have Shaw going at top speed,
Ray Morgan played a splendid game
at second yesterday. He had a lot of
difficult chances and he did not make
a single wobble- He also figured in
two double plays. and on several occa-
sions made stops which less COM
petent fielder would not have reached
and which would have made a lot of
trouble fo- the locals.

team in that league. Clarke let his
opponents down with three hits It is
only question of time when this

Saturday.
This afternoon the two Kings will clash
and the victory will place one Of them

Chicago, on the other hand, is length

weeks. Rowland's players are taking
advantage Of the weak teams they are
meeting and adding victories in a row.
They made a clean sweep of the weak
Athletics and have won two in a row
from Cleveland, team which is not
apt to be able to stop the advance of
the White Sox, who are to play three
more games there.
The Nationals have held Boston in
check, though that team has, Of course,
not been disturbed by Detroit, though
the White Sox have gained quite a lit
tie on them of late.
Hans Wagner made the hundredth
home run of his career last Monday,
thereby making an unequaled record.
The grand old man of base ball has
never gone through campaign without
one or more home runs, and there have
been seasons when he made as many as
ten and eleven circuit drives.
1t is questionable II the player will
ever live who can duplicate Wagner's
remarkable batting record. In 2,4S6
championship games that he has played
to date he has, besides his 100 homers,
2,220 singles, 575 doubles and 23s
triples, for a grand total of ATS bases

ton in tho In and outf1eld and starred

It must be gratifying to the lovers
Of base ball in Toledo to know that
that town Is very apt to be put back
on the base ball map. Toledo has not
had base ball for more than year.
though the town has one of the pret-
test plants in tho country. The trou-
BILE with Toledo has been that 1t would
not support a club which was owned
by parties living in its rival city
Cleveland. But arrangements are now
being made whereby the club is to be
placed in the control of Toledo people.
and there is sure to be a revival of
interest there.
Tho fact that Presidents johnson and

help transfer the Cleveland club to
that city is pretty sure to bring this
about.

By winning yesterdays game the

they scored their final runs.
DOC" Ayers started out to do the
pitching, but he was forced to retire
in the sixth, when the visitors showed
a disposition to take a lot of liberty
with his delivery. Jim Shaw at this
stage came to the rescue, retiring the
side with a couple of men on the bases
and only one out Shaw held the Sox
in check thereafter, not allowing them
another run.
For the visitors George Foster. usual
ly one Of the most reliable performers
on the Carrigan staff, was working,
but he had to quit in the fifth. Fosters
trouble was wildness. He walked six
