of a great railroad strike, which. 1t is
said, will throw 100000 men out Of

report, which deals principally with
crop conditions. ~ .
1t is stated that the probable total

GALLIA OR BOEILING TO PITCH
GAME AGAINST BOSTON TODAY
Griffith Decides to Allow johnson Extra
Rest Before Sending Him to the
Mound d-Luck Against Nationals.

No two teams in either major league
have suffered as much by reason OF
accidents as the New York Yankees
and the Griffmen. There is not the
slightest doubt that had Joe Judge and
Ray Morgan been in the lineup the

would have been much higher in the

but when he sprained his ankle he was

has not recovered his early form,
though he is going a trifle better now
than he was a while back
With the Braves but three games be-
hind Brooklyn, and the Red Sox gradu-
ally gaining a comfortable lead in the
american League race. there is good
chance of the world series games being
played in Boston this fall. The dual

inson's most competent pitchers, indi-
Gates that the Stallings team is again
getting the breaks that made it possible
for it to win the flag two years ago and
also to win in the world series in four
straight games from the Athletics at
that time considered the greatest team
in American League history.
Carrigan is well fortified with pitch
ers. and the fact that he has regaine1
the lead in the race while on the road
has done much to give the players con-
hdence. When Iris Speaker was sold
last spring the Red Sox chances SEEM
ed to have gone waning, yet the team
is in first place again and threatens to
stay there. because the clubs which
were expected to make it a lot of trou-
ble-New York and Washington-haye

ing some of the players incapacitated
during the greater part of the season.
If Bill Donovan can get his regular
team back in harness soon and have it
going as it did during the early part of
the campaign, he may yet be trouble
some, but little is to be expected of his
team or the Griffmen in their present
state.
Chicago and Detroit do not seem to
De as strong as was expected, and
while they may win a lot of games

BOSTON, August 14.-Either Gallia or
Boehling will pitch the game against
Boston today. 1t was Griffith's intention
to send Johnson right back against the
Red Sox. but after due consideration he
concluded that Johnson would stand a
better chance of winning if rested until
tomorrow. for. besides taking his regu-
lar turn, the big fellow has been warmel
up and used to finish several games. He
probably needs the rest which Griffith
has decided to give before sending him
against the locals tomorrow, the final
game of the season here.
1t is not so much a matter of pitching.
SO far as the GrifYmen are concerned.

has been getting decidedly few Of them
of late. though at the beginning of tn"
trip in Detroit 1t scored fourteen in
three days. and yet was unable to win q
single game. because the pitching was
of color. Since that the pitching has
been good enough in most instances TO
obtain victories. but the hitting has been
weak. Incidentally, the element of luck
has been against the Nationals. All sorts
OF sensational fielding. even by the
mediocre members of opposing teams,
has robbed them of runs and chances -
win. What is more. the team as a whole
has not been in good shape. Williams
was out of it for a long while with a bad
ankle and Morgan Is just now coming
around to form. his ankle having finally
nended Milan and Moeller have both
been under the weather since the trip
began. but are coming around fairly well
now. In ALL the trip has been one of the
worst in the history of the team.
II right-hander is used by the
Red Sox today Shanks viii be shifted
back to first base and Jameson will
be played in left. This youngster has
displayed lot of ability in the games
he has been in, but for some reason or
other Griffith has not given him
chance to work when left-handers have
been on the mound, though Jameson
insists that he hit the southpaws in
the international League last Season.
But with the team going as it has
been, Griffith, like other managers, is
at his wits ends as to what change to
make. He has tried about everything
possible. but on only few occa aSions
have the various combinations proved
successful. Four victories out of the
nineteen games played is a strong
argument against any system that may
have been tried.
