For the second time in about two
weeks Ray Fisher fell an easy victim
before the Nationals In recent game
in New York which Fisher started
against the Nationals he lasted two
innings. during which period the Grif-
men scored six runs. This smuggling
was almost duplicated yesterday,
though ii required a little more time
TO do II than on the previous occasion
In two and two-thiros innings the To-
calls hit Fisher for eight clean hits.
including home run by Mcbride
which Melted six runs. proving enough
TO give the locals the game for they
did not score thereafter.
Gallla was in form. though he tried
TO get away without exerting himself
IN couple q innings, as the result Of
which the X4nkees secured four runs
But in the last two innings Bert got
back TO his form, and the result was
that he held the visitors scoreless
though Shanks and Judge put the first
two men to face Gallia in the ninth
on BY their errors, but it was then
that he displayed reserve force and re-
tired the side without allowing the
runners to advance.

Boehling to Face Yankees oday-G rifmen Win and Lo
DOUBLE VICTORY BY BOSTON
PUTS LOCALS IN FIFTH PLACE
Red Sox Beat Mack's Weak Team Twice
and Champions Pass Washington.
Look for Even Break.

Because of the double victory which
the Boston Sox scored over the expert
mental Athletics yesterday, the Griff-
men went back to fifth place, though
they broke even with the Yankees. The
setback, of course. is not serious. for
the teams rating is still high enough
| to make it possible to reach the top
within a few days.
The strength of the Nationals is ap-
parent, and while. like other teams, the
locals have had a siege where Dame
Fortune has not been kind, there is GER
tain to be a change. for in base ball the
element of luck is believed to break
even, or. at least, near it.
While. of course. there is no way to
regulate the lineup of rival teams, it is
unfortunate that Connie Mack should
have started his experimenting with
untried youngsters at this stage of the
campaign. Every time the Grlnmen
have been pitted against the Mackmen
this season their strongest front has
been presented, and, as result this
precaution has made the tail-enders
hard proposition for the locals.
OF course, there is nothing malicious
about what Mack is doing He wants
to develop another championship team
from the ranks OF young plood. But IL

Two mistakes by young players
whom Manager Griffith has in the line
up. and whom he is convinced will
eventually be stars. have been respon-
sible for the two to 0 games which
the Griffmen have lost to the Yankees
durinp tho mast two days

praised Judges wisdom in trying for
the double and told him in the pres
ence of all the players after the game.
Whether the change of time for
starting games on the local grounds to
| o'clock is going to be popular has,
of course, not been settled. because the
change has only been tried on one day.
But judging from the expressions of
opinion heard from many patrons of
the game here the new hour is eventu-
ally going to be very popular with the
public.
AT no time in their careers have Wal
ter Johnson and Harry Harper pitched
more effectively than they did in the
two games against the Yankees, which
were both lost by blunders But it is
to be admired that neither of the pitch
erS were affected thereby. Harper left
the game smiling yesterday morning.
for he realizes that such things will
happen in base ball and that some time
he will be favored in similar way and
win game which he is not entitled to-
johnson. OF course. has always had
a disposition which does not call for
growls regardless of what may hap
pen. He has never been known to
make any criticism of his support re-
CARELESS of how poor it may have been,
so he did not take his defeat to Cald-
we'll to heart
1t is likely that Joe Roehling will
lace the Yankees in the final game of
the series today. If this turns out to
be victory it will mean an even break
with the leaders of the race in series
in which the luck has not been with
the Grifmen with the exception of the
afternoon game yesterday.
Beginning tomorrow, the first of the
western teams. which are now en- route
to make their second invasion of the
east, will find the st. Louis Browns as
the Grifmen's opponents. Fielder
Jones team has shown much improve
ment of late. and though it is holding
a lowly position. is not considered easy
picking by any means.
The game today starts at O'Clock.
Bakers home run over the right field
wall in the fourth inning of the second
game was made possible by n favor
able wind. The ball was hit remark
ably high and the wind carried it far
enough to have it strike the top
of the wall and bound over.
In the morning game Baker came
very close to making a legitimate cir
cult drive. for he drove A liner over
the wall, but it was foul by several
feet.
Manager Donovan is anxious to pro-
cure the services OF hupe oidrinS. VINO
few days ago left the Mackmen with
out warning and announced that he
had decided to quit base ball forever.
Whether Donovan's offer will induce
Oldring to change his mind is not
thought likely by his closest friends
and yet it will make the veteran feel
that he is not forgotten and is still
believed to be of value to team
which Is leading the pennant race.
Donovan. of course, realizes that Gil
hooley will. in all probability. not he
able to return to his fold, and he wants
to fortify himself with an experienced
player for his outfeid. Odring might
play great ball for a winning team.
