leadership in the high school baseball
series, meet today at American League

that Gottlieb will oppose Tomlin, the
Eastern mainstay, on the slab. Tho
contest should be interesting.

likely that Tech will be eliminated from

the Highlands yesterday by IA to 3. Its
victory over the Highland aggrega-

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, June 6-Neyer since the
days when a ball caught on the bounce
breaks than the Nationals were forced
to stand for in their final game of the
Detroit series. one thing after another
conspired against the Griffmen, and it
is a wonder that they succeeded in
making the contest even close.
Although johnson was hit consider
ably harder than it is customary for any
club to lam him, four of Detroit's total
of ten safetes We're scratched, and not
single run would have been scored
by Jennings clan if the visitors had
been able to put a little more pepper
and accuracy into their fielding.
A clumsy play by Ray Morgan started
the rally that resulted in the Tigers
first two runs. and Neach hit the tallies
home with sickly pop fly that fell
just back of third and went for two
Dagger. The ball was not hit hard at
all. but was one of those f1ukes that
sometimes will wreck the best-laid
plans of mice and managers.
In the next inning Mcbride was to
blame Tor the run IHdl eventually
proved to be the decider. With one
down and a sure double play i'll sight,
he booted the easiest sort of bounder
from Stanage's bat, and. instead or
making the double killing, failed to
land even one man. Coveleskie fol-
lowed this with safety that ought to
have been fielded and the run scored.
Washington almost certainly would
have tied the game. and that meant
probable victory in overtime. II 'Rlppy'

thrown out at third; two fine relays
by Heilman and Young accomplished
the Nationals were all through and the
next two batters died easily.
Manager Griffith isn't discouraged in
spite of the seven straight beatings his
club has received since leaving home
and says the Nationals will come to
life in Cleveland and regain some OF
the ground they have lost because of
their rough handling in Boston and
Detroit.
I'VE have no excuse or alibi to
make" said the manager after john
son had been beaten by the Tigers.
at is true that We have been playing
very bad ball lately, but we will get
going in the right direction again be
fore long and prove to everybody that
we have a good ball club. Things can
not continue to break against US for
ever as badly as they have broken
lately"
Griffith is likely to send Dumont to
the front in the firs- Cleveland game.
This young man pitched well against
the Athletics and his boss believes that
he is ready for regular turn. Joe
Boehling also is a sibility, and as
the Indians do not care much for south
paws they may get a look at him.
Harper will follow the man who opens
up against Fohl's league leaders and

Gallia and Johnson will be available to

One thing that Griffith believes has
contributed toward his losing streak
is the poor work of the umpireS. He
says the American League arbfterS are
getting into a rut and that instead OF
hustling and keeping their eyes open
with an idea to giving efficient service
they have become so 'swelled up, as
he expresses it, that they follow one
fixed policy and do not call plays as
they see them, but as they think they
ought to be.
The Washington boss does not make
any specific charges that the umpireS
are trying to hand him the worst of it.
but says that their work is bad all the
way through because they have become
perfectly satisfied with themselves and
think they know it all. 1t is impossible
to get one of them to listen to reason
any more, if Griffith is to be believed.
and a protest couched in the mildest
terms is likely to be the signal for
Punishment.
The attendance was 5.24l--not a bad
turnout for a Monday. Washington
now leads the Tigers by four victories
to three on the season, each club clean
ing up the series on it's own grounds.
Dauss will open against the Red Sox
and probably will pitch the fourth
game also.
Witt made one wonderful play in the
course of his fielding jubilee. throwing
out Eddie Foster on what looked like
a sure hit in the third. He had to go
over behind the bag to get the ball and
helped out by clever handling of diff
ficult pickup. AS johnson was on
second when Eddie connected, Oscars
stellar contribution saved some bother.
Griffith and his club left for Cleve-
land yesterday evening on the boat.

CoveIeskie got two hits and came
close to making another. Johnson grab
bling a hot bounder and throwing him
out the last time he came up. johnson
had excellent control. refusing to let a
single Tiger walk. He was three and
one with several batters, but always
managed to get the ball over when he
had to.
Coveleskie's balk was surprise to
every one because 1t was obvious. He
started to wind up and then stopped
short. Under the rules the umpire
couldn't help ordering the runners to
move up. The Poles miscue gave
Washington run that otherwise would
not have scored. as there were two out
with men on third and second at the
time and the next batter was an easy
victim.

Nationals Drop Third Straight

TEN HITS OFF JOHNSON
Tigers Land on Grifith's Speed
King Much Harder
Than Usual.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT. June 6.-The Tigers made
it three straight from Washington yes
terday, again winning by their favorite
one-run margin. This time the score
was 3 to 2, the same as in the opening
battle.
Walter johnson was batted hard by
the Jungaleers. who got to him for ten
hits. -Four of these were fiukes. it is
true. but at the same time the big fell
low did not seem to be az strong. as
usual, and there were more lusty wal
lops made of him than usually are
garnered in two or three of his games.
In spite of the fact that Walter was
banged about considerably, he deserved
a shuteut, errors or slow fielding Civ
ing Detroit all its runs. A tumble by
Mcbride with a sure double play in
sight accounted for what proved to be
the winning tally.
Great work by Oscar Witt featured
the game. The Detroit third baseman
had ten chances. nine of which came in
The first i've innings. At one time he
threw out eight of q dozen successive
batsmen. Coveleskie allowed only one
hit in the first six innings. but weak
ened toward the finish and was lucky
to last the game out.
Detroit Scores in Third.
Detroit scored two runs in the third.
Coveleskie was given credit for a hit
when Morgan fell down trying to field
his liner. which ought to have been an
out. The next two died on flies to the
outfield. but Cobb singled and Veach
hit pop fly over third that went for
two bases, CoveIeskie and Cobb scor-
ing. Young got a scratch infield hit
with one out in the fourth. Stanage
grounded to Mcbride, who fumbled an
easy chance. Coveleskie singled over
second, scoring Young with what
proved to be the winning run.
Rondeau's triple and Williams sin
gle gave the Nationals a run with no
body out in the seventh. Nobody could
help Alva. who died on first. johnson
opened the next inning with a single
and made second on Fosters hit to
right, after Morgan had flied. Milan's
Iout advanced the men and Johnson
scored on a palpable balk. Rondeau
was thrown out by Bush, leaving Fos-
ter on third.
Williams opened the ninth with a
poke to the bieachers, on which any
body ought to have made three bases.
He tripped rounding second. however,
and lost SO much time that he was
thrown out at third. Nobody else got
on. The score:
