Howard Shanks, Clyde Milan and
George Mcbride were the pronounced
gamers in batting for the Nationals

up nine points. while the latter two
added four points to their marks. In
team batting the Nationals dropped
back two points, the general hitting in

in poor shape to face the Griffmen
Judging by their record of last week
Mack's men were so unfortunate as tc
lose every game in which they figured
five. A team that cannot take one
contest in a week ought not to prove sc
very difficult for the Nationals, particu-
larly as Griff1th's pitchers are going
along in great shape.
Griffith brought the entire regular
squad with him on the trip to Phila-
delphia and New York, though there
are five players left at home. Con-
molly. Barber, Horace Milan, Ainsmith
and Neff were left behind to keep in
condition by workouts at the park.
Interest in the American League race
here is at low ebb, practically the
whole of fandom watching the Phillies.
About the only reason the local follow
ers have to care for the American
League Is to learn what team will face
the Phillies in the worlds series: at
least, that seems to be their way of
looking at it. Certainly the perform
ances of the Athletics of late have not
been such as to create much enthusi-

Forest Hills Today.

FOREST HILLS, N. Y, September g.
r. Norris Williams, champion, and
Maurice E. Mclaughlin, ex-champion
but ranking player of the United
States, are to meet opponents of con-
finals of the national tennis tourna-
ment this afternoon. but neither of
them apparently has an easy step to
the final round.
Theodore Roosevelt Pell, McLough-
Inns antagonist, has had a remarkable
record in this tournament. He has
lost only one set during five rounds
and defeated such sterling players as
Edward H. Whitney. Watson M. Wash
burn, Charles NJ. Bull, jr., and Irving
C. Wright.
Johnston Sensation Of Tourney.
William NJ Johnston of San Francisco,
who will oppose Williams. has been the
sensation of the tournament, his most
accomplishment being the
elimination of Karl Behr, rated the
third best player in the country. Will
liams beat Johnston in the challenge
round at the Seabright tournament,
but it is acknowledged that the CAL
ifornian then was not at the top of
his game.
While Pell and Johnston are conceded
the possibility of victory. the logical
outcome of form and past records
would bring Williams and Mclaughlin
together again in the finals.
The McLoughlin-Pell match is sched-
uled to begin at Las pm, and the

scattered hits and would undoubtedly
have shut them out had Eddie Collins
handled Carter's grounder clearly. He
had perfect double play in sight, but

runs. which saved the visitors from a
shut-out. The locals won this contest
by punching hits. E. Collins drove in
two of the runs and scored from sec
