INDIANS AND GR|FFS.
| OPEN SERIES TODAY
Second Place in Race Is Goal
Nationals to Build Ships.
Series Plans Withheld.
BY DENMAN THOMPSON.

What should prove the most worth
while series. from the viewpoint of the
fan. that the Nationals have played
here this season opens this afternoon,
when they tackle the Cleveland In
dams in the first of series of four
games running to and including Sat-
urday. Second place in the American
League race is the goal at stake. and
there is possibility that either may
yet heat out Boston for the cham
pionship.
The Nationals chances to do this
may be described as very Slim. as they
are five games in the rear of the. Red
Sox and less than two weeks of the
season remains to be played. But the
Indians are only three games behind
the Hose. and have by no means
given up hope of copping. Whether
w rsWan Ss gsead with IL the
closing week of the campaign, prob
ably will depend on the outcome of the
four-contest set getting under way
here at o'clock this afternoon. If
games here. their aspirations may be
aided by the st. Louis club, which
opens set at Boston today. The
Browns are anxious to finish in the
first division. and are sure to give the
Hose tussle.
Unless the dope is upset the hopes
of Fohfs men will receive rude jolt
during their sojourn in the capital.
however. for Griffs hirelinss Tor years
have had the Indian sign on the In
dians. They have been as much a
jinx to the Cleveland club as the
Browns have proved for the Nationals.
Harry Harper is booked TO carry
the hurting burden against Iris
Speaker & Co. in the initial combat
today. The big left-hander in recent
games has been showing great form
for eight rounds and whiting in the
ninth. If the boys behind him can
refrain from shooting vocal darts
prompted by their anxiety to win, Har-
ry may make the grade over the entire
route. But if they start riding" him
again and disturb his mental equanim-
ity he may blow. as he did on the
occasions of his last appearance. when
the Tigers hammered him for six runs
in the ninth, and finally won out in
the sixteenth.

He started pitching with the ST.

the jumping was especially lucrative,
in 1902. He wore a Brownie uniform

Brooklyn won the last game of the
series from Cincinnati by score of

teams winning streak of eight
straight games. Johnston was the
main factor in the Brooklyn victory.
He tripled in the first inning and
scored on olson's single. In the sixth

lowing O'FarrelPs single tied the

cago now leads New York in the
pennant race by nine and a half
games.
The New York Giants made their last
appearance of the season at Pittsburgh
and were defeated by the Pirates, 10
to Q. The visitors gave a poor ex-
hibition of base ball in all depart
ments. Pitcher Steele was mostly re-
sponsible for the loss Of the game,
his two errors and two wild pitches
being costly. Mayer. the Pittsburgh

teammates got the home club out
