The local players left for Akron Inn
mediately after the game with the
White Sox yesterday. and Griff will use
his strongest lineup, as he is exceed
ingly anxious to win from the cham
pions of the National League. Bert
Gallia is scheduled to do the pitching.
The Griffmen are due to return to
Washington at S:26 am. tomorrow.
Howard Ehmke prevented the Red
Sox from passing Chicago for the lead
tail Tiger finger banking the cham
pions after they had soundly trounced
Jennings men in the first game of the
double-header. Boston lost two points
as result of its even break with De-
troit, and the White Sox dropped six
points through defeat at the hands of
the Griffmen. Barry's men now being
five points behind the Windy city crew.
If every club in the circuit could pre-
sent as effective pitching against Chi
cago as the Nationals did the White
Sox would quicly slump into the second
division and the none-too-healthy hit
ting marks of the White Sox become
even more anaemic. In the four games
here Chicago obtained only fifteen hits
out of lis legal times at bat, for a team
batting average of 100.
The Sox had one good day, Wednes-
day. when they hammered the offerings
of Gallia and Shaw for ten safeties, nine
of them off Gallia, but they got only
three hits Thursday off Harper, one of
Johnson Friday and one of Shaw yes
terday.
Again hobs. up the story about the
Washington franchise being transferred
to Baltimore. This time the yarn comes
from Chicago. poor attendance here
being ascribed as the reason for the
projected shift. Ban Johnson has an
nounced emphatically that Washington
will not lose its franchise and Manager
Griffith has grown weary of denying
such stories. There is no more basis
for the latest recurrence of the report
than there was for any of the others.
Ten straight wins seems a mark inn
possible of attainment by major
league pitcher this season. Pete

it. having a record of nine consecutive
victories up to July 20. when the Phil

Taking Exciting Contest.
VISITORS GET BUT ONE HIT
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

two days rest, and twirled a
creditable game, but contributed
to his own downfall by his I'M
