Manager Griffith's resources in the
way of pitching material have been
clearly demonstrated during the past
two days After Walter Johnson was
beaten by the Athletics in Philad delphia
Monday and Harper was routed Tues
day by the Browns, the pitching staff
naturally was thought to be in poor
shape. Since then, however, shut-out
games have been pitched against the
Browns by Boehling and Gallia, re-
garding the condition of whom there
was some doubt entertained. Both not
only won. but proved themselves to be
in exceptional form. Johnson and Har-
per are believed to be again in good
form, and there are four other pitchers
anxious to show that they can win for
Griffith a any time they are placed on
the mound. These are Sam Rice,
George Dumont, Jim Shaw and Doc
Ayers Ayers, however. has not shown
pearances, when he was used as a
finisher.
The real strength of the local pitch
ing staff has now been tested. There
are four pitchers who already have
displayed perfect form, and there is
another quartet of clever moundmen
ready to take the place of any one of
the first four who may slump.
Fielder Jones is quoted as saying that
the Nationals lack punch True. the
team has not been hitting up to its
standard in the last two games. but
Just where the Browns display a punch
is not apparent unless it is at the dim
ner table. A manager whose team fails
to get a run in eighteen innings is
hardly in a position to criticise a rival
for not having a punch.
Harry Harper will play return en-
gagement against the Browns this aft
ernoon. Harper is not satisfied with
his own performance on the opening
game of the series, and is looking for
revenge. He was in good form for six
innings of that first game. but lost his
control in the seventh and then was
virtually beaten by a series of scratch
hits. Harper is entitled to better
breaks and he will try and demon
strate that he can beat the Browns.
Parks is expected to be Fielder Jones
choice to oppose the locals.
Ward Miller got lucky hit yester-
day. In the eighth inning after John
son had singled he sent grounder to-
ward Morgan. but Johnson was hit by
it, and retired, while Miller had to be
given credit for a hit.

the game won by the Chicago team

In the second inning of the contest
Snodgrass struck out and Umpire
Quigley sent Smith back from third &c

Smith had singled and at Snodgrass
third whiff the ball bounced from
Catcher Archer's hands and struck the
batter and caromed off toward the
grandstand. Smith ran from first tc
third. but Quigley ordered him back
on the ground Of interference with the
ball in play.
Stallings claims Smith could moi
legally be sent back, as the batter die
not interfere with the ball at the plate
and as there was no interference the
runner could go as far as he liked.

STRENGTH OF LOCAL STAFF
Have Held Browns Scoreless for Eighteen
Innings-Harper Seeks Opportunity
to Get Revenge for Defeat

| Boston's victory over Cleveland mar
rowed the margin by which the In
dians are leading the Griffmen. Fohfs
team now is only game and half
ahead of Washington, and If Boston
should repeat today, and the Browns
go down here, it would put the Indians
just half a game in front of the Ma
tiona1s, a margin not hard to over
come.
Despit the fact that Joe Judge is
charged with three strike-outs he
again had an unlucky day with the
i stick. The first time up he drove a
| liner to right center which looked good
for three bases. but Marsans cut across
and made brilliant catch of the drive.
The next time up he drove another
| liner along the right field foul line,
which, however. struck on foul ground
about two inches outside the line.
Henri Rondeau. was in good batting
form yesterday, getting two singles
after hitting out a long sacrifice fly
which allowed Foster to score the sec
ond run in the first inning.
| Howard Shanks, too, continues his
! good hitting. He came through with
two clean blows yesterday.
The Detroit Tigers will open a four
game series here Saturday. The Jen-
nings team always is one of the best at
fractions here. and though not very
| high in the race is pretty sure TO draw
| good crowds during it's stay in Wash
| ington. The Tigers, who started their
eastern trip with two victories over
| the Mackmen, were up against better
| pitching yesterday. and as conse-
| auence they were beaten.
| Walter johnson is slated to face the
! Tigers tomorrow. He will have had
| four days rest and ought to be on edge.
! 1t was the original intention to work
| him against the Browns today. but as
| he was kept warmed up during the

| on the Browns, had hard afternoon
! trying to solve Bert Gallia's delivery.
Ion two different occasions Gallia
| famed him, and he got nothing which
looked like a hit, although he walked
once.
| There were some disputes as to
whether Gallia's wallop in the fifth
inning would be scored as a hit. Short
stop Johnson DETECTED the ball, but he
could not reach it in such a manner
to catch it. There were several hats
wagered that the official scorer would
charge Johnson with an error, which.
however, he did not do, giving Gallia
credit for base hit
