Only BROWNS Beat Grins

Washington lost more games than it
won to only one club in the league in
the eventfu1 season of 1918, which was
brought to a close yesterday. 1t is
hardly necessary to say that it was the
Browns, for years the prize jinx of the
Nationals, who upset Griff's club. OF
the nineteen games fought to a decision
between them, Washington got the YER
dict in but seven and was licked in
twelve. making it apparent that the
players piloted first by Jones and then
by Austin and Burke were responsible
for the fact that the Grinmen had to be
content with third place instead of
grabbing the pennant. On the compare
tive strength of the two teams the re-
suit of the seasons interclub clashes
should have been reversed. 1t is ap-
parent from Boston's winning margin
over Washington that if such were the
case the Red Sox might have been
nosed out.
Rowland's White Sox were the soft
est pickin's in the circuit for the Griffs
in the 1918 campaign, Chicago winning
only six games and dropping thirteen
to the locals. Next In the order of
soft snaps were the Mackmen. who won
only six and lost twelve to Washington.
The Nationals annexed eleven victories
and suffered only eight reverses in their
clashes with the Yankees and Indians,
while their record against the Tigers
was eleven games won and nine lost.
The fourteen games played between the
Griffs and winning Red Sox
were a stand-off. each taking seven.
