The Nationals are almost certain to
defeat the Athletics in the series with
them. but they cannot defeat St.

series won. st. Louis, also, has won

that will not be forgotten in New

that it will go to the Giants in the

when they returned to Washington
from New York in first place the
night of June 25. was given the club
last night when for the second time
this season it arrived from a Gotham
series at the top of the heap The
cheering fans appeared to realize that
the club coming home in front this
time, after losing it's proud position
for several weeks, meant much more
than on the first occasion. The Bucks
had been fighting hard before. but not
nearly so desperately as during the
past week And the thousands of
frenzied fans jammed in and about
Union station at midnight last night
let the club know what they thought
of it's game struggle.
Two Eames were to be played with
the Athletics today. a morning one,
scheduled at 10:30. and an afternoon
one at $3.50.
Walter johnson came to the con-
clusion that his hand was not serious

wicked drive Friday and remained in
New York throughout the series.
Johnson even decided not have an
x-ray photograph taken of his fipper,
but that may be done here.

to Babe Ruth yesterday and the
Bambino did not get far. With a
three -and-two count in the first in

third. with a one-and-two count, the
big fellow grounded to first. In the
eighth Mogridge tossed three wide
ones. then slipped two strikes across.

to be strike, but Umpire Holmes
ruled otherwise and the trouble that
resulted in the banishment OF Mo-

When the Natfonals' seventh inning
arrived yesterday thousands of fans
in the huge stadium stood. Many
were Washingtonians who had come
by train or motor to the big city for
the week end, but there also must
have been numerosu New Workers
striving to give the Bucks luck.
Cheering was loud and long when
Judge smote the ban into the right
field stand for a circuit trip in the
seventh session. Holmes had lust
called a strike that Joe thought a
ball before the homer came and
"riled" the Buck considerably.
