Have Formidable Task.

cient TO assure the Griffmen of a
worthwhile cut in the world series
receipts if it can be maintained, but
that promises to be a formidable task
Assuming that the Browns are bowled
over tomorrow by the Yankees in the
rush of the latter toward pennant-
vile, St. Louis will have two more
games to play-with the Tigers In
Detroit next Saturday and Sunday
while five games remain for the Ma
tionals-four in three days at Bos-
ton, starting Thursday. and one with
the Athletics here next Sunday. This
is, provided the New York manage
ment decides. following the outcome
Of it's games today and tomorrow
that its aspirations for the flag will
not be best served by playing off a
postponed game with the local club
here Wednesday.
In the event. then. st. Louis should
win both its games with the Tigers
il would be necessary for Washington
to cop four out of its remaining five
to finish in third place, half game
ahead of the Fohlmen. Should the
Browns break even in Detroit. the
, Nationals. by winning three of five
! would finish in tie with them, while
troit would require only two Grif-
fithian victories out OF five games to
land the local contingent in the
money.
If the Browns win all three of the
games they have yet to play and the
Nationals take the five left for them,
the latter will cop.
Win Spectacular Game.
Washinston's approach to within half
a game of the Browns was accomplished
yesterday, while the Browns were idle,
in one of the most spectacular contests
seen this season on the local lot, when
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary triumphed
over Bert Cole in a battle Of lefthand-
ers. the score being. Griffs, 8: Tigers. 2.
The struggle was replete with dazzling
work aheld and long-dfstance hitting,
the visitors compiling three doubles and
triple, while the home guard registered

Zach had only one bad inning. when a
triple, two doubles. a single and a sac
rifice fly gave the Bengals their two
tallies. and then. except for an error by
Shanks. the enemy would have got
only one runner around the circuit.
Woodall led with a wallop to left CEN
ter for two bases. Harris perfect relay
from Rice had the Tiger tagged at the
far corner, but Shanks dropped the ball.
One run was in when Cole poled a
three-bagger to the scoreboard, and an
other accrued from Youngs sacrifice
fly to Rice. O'Rourke turned in a gem
of a play to retire Sargent. Cobb then
singled to center and died at the plate
when Milan got off perfect peg after
retrieving Veach's Texas league double.
Charity In Star Role.
This was one of the three occasions
in which Charity shined similarly.
Another was in the opening round
when Cobb whacked to center and
attempted to tally on a double to
the sturdy and unyielding form Of
Charity with an accurate throw from
Goslin nesting in his mitt.

Terrific triples by Charity and
Zachary produced the tieing run for
Washington in the fourth inning, and
the winning marker was registered
in the seventh. Judge walked, ad-

and Milan was hit by a pitched ball,
filling the bases. Rice's long fly to
Heilmann did the business.
A three-p1y clout by Harris at the
outset Of the fifth went to waste when
Veach made a sparkling catch of Cos

In round 8, when Charity singled

tumble, Judges terrific liner went
straight into the paws of Heilmann.
