NATIONAL LEAGUE
FURNISHES KICK
TOBASEbALL RACE
Pittsburgh Pirates. New York
Giants, and Roston Braves
Make Fine Pennant Display.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE old Ma
tional League is furnishing the base
ball fans with their midsummer thrills
this season.
While the race IN the American
League continues to be. quite a two
club affair between the Cleveland In
dams and the New York Yankees. the
National League teams succeeded In
punching themselves so closely and
playing such consistent ball within
the last two weeks that the observers
are very much up In the air regard
ing the final location of the pennans
this fall.
Pittsburgh's clustering Pirates in
vaded the Polo Grounds yesterday with
a three-game lead over the Giants and
took a trimming from the Men o Nc
Graw. Meanwhile. the Boston Braves,
who have succeeded in worrying the
leaders with a phenomenal squirt dur
ing the past three weeks. struck a
temporary snag In the St. Louis Cardi'
nails but lost little aside from an oppor-
tunity by splitting a double-header.
This left the race in the senior Ma
Tor League just about as tight as
ever.
At the outset Of the season the
Pirates, Giants and Dodgers We're fig
ured as the clubs to fight 1t out
for the honor of entering the worlds
series. but the "dopesters" failed to
reckon with Fred Mitchell. Mitchell
is the sagacious baseball man who,
as lieutenant to George Stallings In
1914, helped pilot Boston to worlds
championship.
Later. as manager OF the Cubs he
won the 1918 National League PEN
nant and when deposed by the Chicago
owners last winter, was quickly snap
ped up by Owner George Grant. Of
the Bostons, to step into Stallings'
shoes.
with a club of uncertain qualities,
Mitchell has piloted the Braves into
the foreground this season and re-
stored the National League TO good
standing in the Hub" What's more,
his team figures today as the dark
horse" in an exceptionally uncertain
pennant race.
Many of the best critics connected
with the game are OF the opinion that
the team which. beats Boston will win
the pennant, and while this view may
seem little far-fetched to the more
conservative onlookers, It must be adj
mitted that Fred Mitchell is a mani
ager to be watched.

There is no telling how well Foss

Indeed the lamentable condition Of
the mound staff has turned Brewer
back into a pitcher and Is making Foss
think along the same line. Brewer has
pitched professional ball. Foss was a
high school pitcher before entering the
professional game. Neither is In shape
to enter the box In regular game In
this league. but Brewer has almost
given up hope of playing regularly
and Foss is thinking Of quitting an
infield berth on the bench and going
back TO pitching next season.
A huge mob is expected at the park
today in the second game OF the series
between the Indians and the Griffs.
With cool weather and a fair sky
Cleveland fans should be on hand in
large numbers to cheer for their cham
pions. Walter Johnson will twirl for
the Griffmen against Uhle or Caldwell
for the Indians.
Courtney Gives Exhibition.
Mr.. Courtney gave another excel.
lent exhibition on the hill In the open
ing game here. The Indians won, 8
to 4, and five of their total is charged
to Mr.. Courtney. In three innings he
hit one batsman, walked three and
yielded five hits, including triple. He
was knocked OH the slaD IN tne 1ouTtn
before an Indian had been retired.
Coveleskie was hit hard, but not in
the pinches. At such times he tight
ened up and held the enemy at bay.
Furthermore. he had some lucky
breaks that saved him from harm
more than once.
Bucky Harris grabbed three singles
and double In five trips to the plate.
Earl Smith had two singles before
wrenching his ankle and leaving the
game. Bing Miller, with single and
a double, was the only other Griffmnn
went hitless.
Nine games have now been played
between these teams. The Griffs have
won five OF them. Since leaving home
the Griffs have won eight and lost
seven. Against the Western clubs
they have won three and lost six

JOCK HUTCHINSON LOSES
TO BRITONS SECOND TIME

Jock Hutchinson, the new British
open. western open and American pro-
fessional golf champion, suffered his
second defeat of the week at the
hands Of George Duncan and Abe
Mitchell, the British pros. in a four.
ball held at the Norwood golf course,
New Jersey yesterday. He was part.
nered by Jimmy Donaldson, the home
pro.
As in his first contest at Pelham
with the visiting Britishers, Hutch,
son had to carry most of the load
OF the match and was unable to hold
off the invaders, but Jock managed
to carry the contest to the 35the hole
where the foreign pair obtained a
margin Of 3 and /. Hutchinson won
the special prize Of 800 for the best
low score in the afternoon, turning
in IL, which was that of Mitchell
in the morning.
The Washington times., 1921-07-17

he drives balls at various elevations
from grass slimmers to sky scrapers,
each shot assuming a slighter ascent
than the last. He can irive 100 yards
with a putter. and on his home course,
at Riverside, In Australia. he played
a round in ~. using putter for each
shot. This course measures about 5000
yards In length.
With his mastery Of clubs It is
easy for him to recover from
trouble" that to the less expert player
would appear fatal. Whether this
very facility of extrication Injuries
his game is a question. but he has
already achieved a degree OF sue
cess that would satisfy many q
golfer in the professional ranks.
To reach the final of the biggest
tournament of the year on his first
trip away from his home land is an
accomplishment that augurs further
honors for this Anipodean youth.
Whether these will come to him this

( How Earl Smith can maintain a
regular berth is a mystery, FOR In four
teen games he has hit for .166. Only
in st. Louis, where ne knew the pitch
ers. did Smith look like a real bats
man. In those four games he hit for
1857. Out of his total OF nine hits,
Smith got five In st. Louis.
Milan Badly Treated.
s'Zeb" Milan started the trip In Bos-
ton as the regular left fielder He had
collected five hits in five times up at
Georgia avenue, in the face OF the
worst razzing ever experienced by a
player anywhere. Manager Mcbride
believed the veteran ready to stand the
gaff.
The strain of those double-headers
in the Boston heat proved too much
for Milan's weak legs. They went
back on him and he had to give way
Bling Miller. During those three series
Milan hit for $50, eliminating himself
from all competition for a steady job.
$, A major league teams outfielders
are expected to hit at least UP arouni
300. Only a wizard outfielder can
hope to hold his berth without clout-
ing the ball. Howard Shanks was a
regular with a batting average OF .2b0
largely because he was ball haWk
and an excellent thrower.
The strongest outfield McBr1de
could have now would see Miller In
left or center. Shanks In center or
left. and Rice in right. Rice's poor
work on ground balls and his weak
throwing to bases is costing the team
runs almost every day. 1t has
reached the point now where Rice
doesn't even practice throwing to the
plate. He seeks the bench when that
part Of the drill is at hand.
Throwing Is Best Feature.
Smiths best work Is in his peg
cling. lie has the best arm of all the
outfielders with the team. Brewer,
also strong thrower. lacks Smiths
accuracy. Smith also handles ground
balls with certainty. Miller, likewise.
does fairly well on ground balls. Rice,
Milan and Brewer are particularly
weak on ground balls.
In the first fourteen games on this
trip Hank Shanks had hit for .2Ss,
being surpassed only by Blng Miller
among the outfielders. Shanks is en-
ioying his best batting season since
