Washington team in the American
League pennant race.
The heavy hitting of the worlds
champions, who made three home

season, with a man on base. MeuSel

mate on base. and Ward smashed out

Bluege and Peck for a single, scoring

told of again signing Doc Protho of
the Memphis Club for the Nationals,
that the prexy had been trying for
several weeks to repurchase the hard
hitting dentist sent to--the Chicks
from the Bucks in June. Protho was
no great shucks as fielder while
with the Bucks, but he could hit that
apple and Griffith was bent upon get
ting him as a pinch hitter. But the
Chicks could not see such a deal, so
Doc will not be around again until

Zachary appears to be just the type
of hurler that is rank poison to the
generally hard-hitting Tigers and he
probab bly, will give them much to
worry about tomorrow. If he does
not permit his record against them
this year to be marred, it will be very
helpful to the Nationals. They are
confident of maintaining their su-
premacy over the Yankees, a game
behind in second place in the race
for the American League flag, but, as
Manager Harris expressed it tonight.
beating these Tigers now is as good
to us as beating two other teams
later"
The Tigers still consider them
selves in the pennant fight and ap-
parently figure that even il the Ma
tionals do get away with. the long
end of the present series, the other
teams to visit here, especially the
Yankees. will offer chance to re-
cover lost ground. The Bucks GER
this year but the Tigers feel they
are far stronger than the Yankees
and they have been here so far.
So Harris probably is thinking
rightly. beating the Tigers puts
them well out of the way, so far as
the Bucks are concerned. and 1T also
puts them in fighting mood to

first place, but they consider second
money better than third or none at

Bucks now, the Yankees may be sure
of a warm reception at Navin Field

the Nationals mad.
