Nine Games During Next Seven Days
Are to Be Played by the Nationals

leading the American League in hitting ?
In the two games played against the
Nationals Friday and Saturday iris came
to bat nine times, made four hits, drew
a base on balls and also a sacrifice, for
an average of 81.
Ty Cobb and Joe Jackson are going to
find it tough pulling to beat out Speaker
for the swattng title Of the American
League this season.
Kid Jameson is getting to be one of
our luck hitters. He seems to have the
faculty of popping up the ball just out
of everybody's reach. Take the seventh
inning OF yesterdays game, for exam
pie. Shanks was on second base and
Lacquer to left field, the bail dropping
back of Chapman and mufred by Graney
after a hard run. JamiesCn's speed gave
him a two-bagger and incidentally scored
Shanks
In the ninth inning of Fridays game
Graney played deep for Jameson, but
was double-crossed, as the younsster
knocked the ball to a safe spot near the
foul line, and pulled up on second base
the way for the Nationals winning
marker.
Sam Rice is proving his worth daily
as a pinch hitter Rice jammed a clean
single to center in the eighth inning yes
terday and a tally afterwards resulted.
Whether or not Rice could learn to
paly the outfield is doubtful. He doesn't
seem to possess the hustle and pep" of
an outfielder. but by experience he might
develop into one.
Horace Milan Joined the club yesterday
and was in uniform. Just when he will
be showed into a game nobody knows
but the chances are that Grif will use
the youngster just as soon as his club
drops couple of games.
The New York Yankees are again in
first place, this being the fourth time
this season that Donovan's men have
wrested the leadership from another
team, and Yankee rooters are hoping that
they make long stay there this time. II
was fitting that they should close the
first half of the season at the head OF

Wednesday the Chicago White Sox will

for Wednesday and Thursday
Cleveland and Chicago have both been

seasons past, but this year the White
Sox have trounced US something scandal
Gus, and the Old Fox is out for revenge.
There is every reason to believe that
the Nationals will be just as well forti-
fed in the box for the big Chicago series
at the White Sox. Walter johnson could
be used in two games If the Old Fox
saw At. while Harper, Gallia, Boehling
and Ayers could pitch the remaining
games, with Du Mont, Shaw and Rice
held in reserve.
For today's contest in Cleveland. Harry
Coveleski is slated to work for the In
dians Jim Shaw may pitch for the Ma
tionals or Griff may decide to start Harry
Harper.
Ray Chapman, the Indians shortstop,
Is blemed by the Cleveland scribes for
the loss Of both games played here last
week. Chapman is usually a steady per-
former, but his errors have cropped out
at critical stages.
Had Walter johnson fielded his position
cleanly yesterday, the Sixth City crew
would not have scored a run. johnson
was practically unhittable, and his con-
troll was exceptionally good.
Albert Gould, the Indians young
pitcher, witnessed the game from the
press box the guest of Ernest J. Lani-
gan, the weIl-known baseball writer.
Gould had never seen Johnson pitch
before, in fact when he Joined the Cleve-
land Club in New York he had never
been east of Chicago in his life. He was
particularly impressed with Johnson S
work and said: II guess II that big fellow
can't buzz 'em past a batter there is not
much chance for some of US youngsters,
although out in the Three-Eye League
| could do it sometimes"

pions of the fistic world who have
been more likely to display the itching
palm rather than the clenched fist may
have to defend their titles in decision
bouts soon, II they wish to box in New

Chairman Wenck, of the State Athletic
Commission. incensed at the actions OF
Freddie Welsh and other titlehoIders, in
a letter made public today. suggests that
the present regulations of the body for
bidding decisions be amended to provide
for a referees decision in any contest
where a champion is a contestant.
The proposed rule provides that a gen.
orally recognized champion cannot box
at all in New York State except in a
bout involving his title.

part Of the frequent shifting to date is
that the Chicago White Sox, always rated
at prominent pennant contenders and still
regarded as such, have not been at the
top all season, either alone or in a tie
The other team which has not reached
the pinnacle is Connie Mack's aggrega-
ton. The difference between the two
clubs is that the White Sox still have
q good chance of getting there and the
Athletics have not an outside chance
even to get out Of the second division
The Nationals held undisputed sway
only four days. They went ahead on
May q and the Indians tied them on May
81.
Until the Indian uprising became so
pronounced on May the lead had been
ronopolized by Easter teams The stand
ing at the close OF the first day of the
season showed Boston, st. Louis and
Washington all tied for first place, since
each team won its opening game. Bos-
ton went ahead the next day and held
the lead for four days until displaced by
the Yanks on April 19. The Red Sox won
the place back the next day, April 20.
were tied with the Yanks on April 2l and
the Yanks had it to themselves from
April % to the 9th, when Boston grabbed
it and held first place with the Tigers,
but only for day.
The following table shows how the lead
has changed from one team to another
during the three months of play. II was
three months Thursday since the teams
got away in the championship race and
most of them are within a game or two
of the halfway mark on the 154 game
schedule. The changes:
