! there were two out at the time. and
Harrcrs grounder to Borton ended the
inning.
Joe Judge played his first game since
his recovery yesterday. and 1ndlcatea
he is ready to play. In the sixth, WIN
one out, he doubled to left center. but
was left, for Henry and Harper coold
not get the hit which would have
scored him.
Bert Gallia and Bob Groom are slated
to meet in the third game of the series
this afternoon. Jones also will have
Weilman ready, in the event that
Groom cannot display good form ne
will have his giant ft-hander ready
to go into the game.
The dual defeat of the Phillies at the
hands of the Pirates yesterday again
put the Boston Braves In second place,
and as the Brooklyn Dodgers also SUI
fered n defeat n the hands of the Cubs
rally increased. Brooklyn now has but
q four-game lead over the Stailings
team, and it is very apt to make a clean
sweep of the series with Cincinnati,
where the first two games have gone to
the Braves. StallingS' team is not a
heavy hitting aggregation, but it has
great pitchers and manages to get
enough runs most of the time to make
Detroits easy victory over the Ath-
Ietics yesterday and the defeat of the
Indians in Boston allowed the Jennings
team to advance into third place The
Tigers are but game and a half be-
hind the White Sox. who are in second
place. and five games behind the Red
Sox, who are lea ding.
If Jennings team continues to go at
the present clip while in the east it
will still stand a chance for the flag.
The return of Dauss to good form gives
the Tigers better pitching outfit than
they have had during any part of the
present campaign. and that is the only
departrnen in which the team has been
lacking
But twenty more games are to be
played in Washington this season, ac-
cor6ling to the American League sched-
ule. Including today, st. Louis plays
two more games. Then comes Chica go
for three. Cleveland and Philadelphia
for four each, New York for two and
Boston for four, which winds up the
season in Washington September II.
September IA the Grffmen open a
two-game series al Chicago, then go to
st. Louis for three games, to Cleveland
for three and to Detroit for four.
September IS they open three-game
series in Philadelphia, where there also
are two postponed games to be played,
and then finish the season with a
three-game series in New York, the
last game being played October A.
In all there remain forty games for
the Nationals to play.
