OF the % games between the Ma
tionals and the Yankees. 13 went
way of the former. The Harrismen
won only of IL tilts played in
Washington, but took 8 of IL played
in New York And it was in series
with. the Yankees that the Nationals
twice climbed into first place in the
lie ague. They wallopsd the Yankees
June "a to go to the top of the heap
and walloped them again August 2S
to attain the coveted place. 1t seems
that if any club in Ban Johnson's
loop has "Shooed" the Nationals to
the front it is that representing New
York.
The Nationals are not looking for
ward to any easy time during the
remainder of the season. Each and
every man of the club figures that
tough fight is ahead and that every
game of the 10 to be played must be
de sperately fought.
The Harrismen have a great chance
to get Washington it's first champion
ship pennant in organized base ball.
The players to a man believe they
will, but whether they do so or not.
they will battle for every game on
their schedule. They are not expect
ing any favors from clubs not so
fortunate as to be in the running for
the American League flag.
Grins Face Tough Task.
And the Nationals are quite right
in not anticipating any smooth road
from now on. The MackS are ready
to toss in a clever bunch Of pitchers
against the pennant seekers. The
Tigers are egotiStical enough to be-
lieve they still will win out and they
are bound to fight terrifically in the
series following the Nationals stay
here.
The Indians are battling to finish
fifth, a position the Athletics have a
chance to grab. The White Sox will
scrap with all their power to get out
of the cellar. Everything points to a
fighting tour through the West for
the Harrismen. and if they have not
clinched the flag when they return
East for the finish of the campaign,
they ar capt to find the Red Sox eager
to escape the lowest berth in the
league.
But the Yankees have just the same
road to travel through The West and
probably will encounter just as much
opposition here in the final series as
the Bucks will in Boston. 1t now
seems that pitching will be the de-
Gliding factor and on past perform
ances the Bucks appear to have the
Yankees shaded trifie in this
respect.
The Nationals must work hard all
the way, however. and their young
manager, Bucky Harris. has made the
team realize that.
THE club understands that we must
fight for each game" Bucky said to-
day. "I hope at the end we will be
in the lead, but base ball is uncer-
tain I want to be confident, but not
overconfident. If any club beats us
out, though, it will not have done so

WILLIAMS IS RUNNER-UP
IN EASTERN ROGUE PLAY

Charles c. Williams of Washington,
four times national rogue winner and
present Southern champion, was run
ner-up in the first Eastern champion
ship tournament of the American
Rogue League, held recently at Phila-
delphia.
The District player shared the sec
ond- place honors with Turner of Cal
ifornia, each winning seven games in
nine starts Bovee of Philadelphia

Otherwise, If the left leg fs held

must give. Many players thus force
up the head, and ench shot so made
they ascribe to "lOoking up from the

in golf it is supposed to be. 1t would
make little difference II you did look

Detroit picked up on the leaders
and Ty Cobb again is marching on
fairly well with his denizens of the
jungle. Washington could not play
because of rain, and that was unfor-
tunate for them, because it necessi-
tates a double header today, and
double headers are not any too easy
at this stage of the season. The
Yankees victory in Boston gave them
little advantage against Wash
ington.
Supporters of the Giants, who fig
ure them to win the national pen
nant, argue that the Brooklyns are
about through. 1t is maintained that
Brooklyn has overplayed itself for
the last four weeks and is subject
to a reaction. One of the most in
teresting things about base ball is
that no one ever accuses the Giants
of overplaying. Apparently the i'm
preston is that they are camels for
texture.
Dazzy Vance is on the high road
to surpass the record made by Luque
of Cincinnati last year. That's an
other point that should not be over
looked in the fine race that Brooklyn
is making.
Last season Lugue won 27 games
and lost s. Uhle. Cleveland, won
26, but he lost 16. Perhaps both
pitched too much for their own good
for neither is coming anywhere near
his 1928 record this year.
So far this season Vance has 25
victories to his credit and 4 defeats.
He is going SO well that he may
end the month with 80 victories. The
only fly in Vance's ointment is that
two of those defeats were suffered
at the hands of the Giants after
Vance had pitched what he figures
was winning base ball.

braska its Grover Alexander and

II the published statements actually
We're made by members of the Yankees,
no better indication of the difference
between the two main contenderS for
the championship in the league could be
revealed. When any big league bali
player or any big league club feels that
he or it is being sighted. while other
players or rival clubs are being given
undue consideration by opponents, one
may readily take it for granted that
that particular player or club is not at
tacking his or its job with the proper
spirit.
Pennants in big base bail league are
n<< won by club that has to have
otner clubs give it games. 1t must step
out and do things for itself, and that is
just what the Bucks have been doing
all season. They have met with repeat
ed reverses, some of them harsh enough
to discourage a lesS-determined organi-
zation S'umps in St. Louis and Cleve-
land have cost the Bucks heavily and
they had no proverbial bed of roses to
rest upon during their long home stay
in JULY when double headers galore oc-
cupied their time.
Have Always Come Back.
But every time they have been knocked
down by other Clubs in the Johnsonian
circuit this season the Bucks have come
back to the fight grimly determined to
regain lost ground. and not yet have
they failed to do so. That July debaclc
sent them on their second western in
vaSion below the top, and they were
una bic to recover their poise during the
tour. But they gamely fought their way
toward the front while at home in Au-
gust. and ended that month with a rout
of the Yankees that once more earned
the first position.
The whine of the Yankees. if it is
true, is whine of spoiled children
who have had everything their way SO
long they have an engrained opinion
that no one else deserves any con-
sideration. Now that the Nationals are
running in front of them in this lurid
pennant race, the New Workers
evidently think there must be some
thing wrong about the affair. Not for
one moment. do they give Bucky
Harris crew any credit for being a
he-aggregation of ball players really
able to step out and fight for it's own
1t is about time the Yankees awak-
ened and realized that the Washington
ball club. while perhaps not a great
ball club as some clubs have beer
rated in years past, is good ball club
and well able to win on its own merits
in this campaign. The Bucks are
asking no quarter and giving none
these days They are fighting fol
everything they can get, and that they
occasionally dispose of some rival
clubs in rather hollow manner does not
mean they are being favored. Records
prove that a great majority OF the
Nationals triumphs this year have
been achieved by very narrow
margin.
Record Speaks for Itself.
However. any defense OF Nationals
with respect to the reputed 1nsinua-
tions of the Yankees really is need
less The record of the annual series
between the two clubs is enough tC

Pleas for better understanding
between the English-speaking coun-

through the air last night by Sir
Esme Howard, the British ambas-
sador, and Colonel George Harvey,
former ambassador to the Court of
ST. James, as the principal speakers
on the international broadcast test.
The addresses were delivered at
Station WRC, and were broadcast
jointly by Stations WIZ, New York,
and WGY, Schenectady. During
the delivery of the addresses, all
foreign stations were silent to
permit the voices to be heard with.
out interference.
1.-THE message which / wish to
send as the first broadcast radio
message from Washington to
London the British ambassador
declared at the beginning of his
address,; sis this: feel confident
that public opinion in the United
!, States, as in Great Britain, is
growing more and more to believe
in the necessity of friendship and
good understanding between all
English-speaking countries.
Urges Travel In U. S.
1T is generally realized that such
friendship and understanding
among peoples whose principal in
terest and whose passionate desire
is the establishment on solid founda-
tons of the peace Of the world
cannot but contribute to laying
such foundations.
II am also convinced that this
belief is universally held in Great
Britain by all classes, from the
King to his humblest subject"
Sir Esme urged a greater study
Of American history in British
schools and more extensive travel
in the United States by British
subjects.
Comments on Election.
Colonel Harvey, in his address,
Introducing the British ambassador,
commented on the similarity Of the
results Of the recent British and
American elections, Stanley Bald
win and President Coolidge, he said,
represent New and Old England.
A resume of the achievements of
radio were outlined by Sir Maurice
Low, correspondent of the London

scented by the Marine Band.
