Four members of the Washington

Charles Wagner, Harry Knight, Karl
knight and Reginald Rutherford made
the trip IS tl:N representative team Of
the local CLUB, and won the annual
trophy. They beat the crack canoeists
OF the United States and Canada, which
performance is all the more remarka BILE
when it is considered that only two
men could compete in each class, the
racing and cruising class Wagner
and Harry knight took part in the
cruising class, and Karl knight and
Rutherford in the racing. All four men
were in the race betm cen club fours
In the event for club fours the local
men probably would have been the
victors had they been in racing boat
They were compelled to paddle in a
cruising canoe, while the winning boat
was a racer. The Washington canoe
finished a close second, at that

The races held by the Americah n
Canoe Association are the best of the
year, and to win in them is a distinct
honor. as the highest rewards for
canoeists go with victories in the
events. That the local men were able
to accomplish the feat of capturing the
trophy from the pick of the CANADIAN n
and American canoeists is especially
commenda BILE.

NATIONALS MORE SUCCESSFUL
AGAINST BOSTON THAN OTHERS
Had GriHmen Won From Other Clubs as
From Red Sox They Would Not Be
Floundering in Second Division
BY J. ED GRILLO.

/ BOSTON, August 15.-If the Nation
| ais had been as successful all season
| against other teams as they have been
against Boston they would not be
fioundering about in the second divi-
sion. BY their victory yesterday the
Griffmen again gained the lead in the
series between the Red SoX and Ma
tionals, having won nine of the seven
| teen games which have been played to
date
The Nationals here today play their
| final game of the season. but in Sep
! tember the Red Sox will come down
| to the nations capital and finish the
season by playing four games.
Walter johnson is slated to pitch to-
day, and he is likely to be opposed by
either Foster or Shore. Both of them
pitched air-tight ball throughout the
recent western trip of the Red Sox, so
| that even if Walter is in good form
| he will have a hard battle on his hands
unless the Nationals are fortunate
enough to have little luck in their
hitting.
Ray Morgan has been hitting much
better recently than he did during the
first three weeks after his return to
the team He got three hits off Mays
yesterday and one of his drives won
the game for his team. 1t was long
line drive against the embankment in
left center, which neither Walker nor
Lewis could reach, with the result that
it went for two bases, and Mcbride and
Moeller. who previously had walked,
ran home. This happened in the sew
enth inning. Both of Morgan's sin
giles were clean-cut drives.
1t looked like forlorn hope for Griffith,
after Mcbride had walked with two down,
to send up pinch hitter in the person
of Dan Moeller. The only chance he
seemed to have was to hit long drive,
Daniel for some time But Moeller de-
serves the credit for doing his share
toward making the victory possible, when
he followed McBride's suit and also
worked Mays for pass.
than he has in some time. He had almost
perfect control. and struck out five of the
Sox though they succeeded in securing
the only run off him. Gallia had world
of stuff and he knew how to use it, with
Henry's aid. the result being that he
went through six innings and allowed but
three hits. With Gallia back in form
there will be better work from the pitch
ing staff.
The game today will be called at 3
o'clock in order to give the Nationals a

into the final inning with a margin of
, six runs. In the last period Treasury
began scoring, and before the third
man was out six men had crossed the
plate, which caused the contest to end

Mortimer, who appeared at shortstop

His exhibition was one of the best
given by any amateur player in the

fourteen out Of fifteen chances in the

Judging by the fact that Mortimer

vided it wins out in the Potomac

season. 1t is fairly certain that Roche
and Fitzgerald will play with the Holy

Keller, there is no question about the
