First OF all, they nave several.
games left to play with the
Athletics. And when the two
leaders meet the Senator'S always
seem to have 8 little the best
Of It. And mighty few clubs ever
win remnants unless they can beat
their nearest contenders.
The second reason Is q bit harder
to explain. Washington as I fig
ure It, has bit better defensive.
team. And when two clubs are
IN q slump defense becomes more
Important than at any other time.
For instance, IL q team falls OF
In It's hitting, then it has to nut
tlp 4 defense that will keep the.
other fellow from scoring, Il Il IS
going to win many ball games.
The same thing u true when
the pitching goes bad. q
club ID getting poor pitching,
then Il takes mighty good de-
fensfVe play to keep the other
fellows from walking away with
the ball game.
OF course, the Athletics have .
lot to be said on their side. Play
ing up to form, they're great
bunch OF sluggers. They have a
BIT better pitching staff than the,
Senator's, too. Where Buciky Har-
ris has three dependable men, gon-
ME Mack has four or five hlIrlers
who can be counted on to deliver
fairly well every start.
But Just the same I'm stringing
along with Washington. a lot Of
things can happen in q month
particularly when two clubs are az.
eveiy matched as these two. May
he neither one Of them win win.
BY some miracle the White Eox,
inspired by Eddie Collins, might
come from behind to nose them
out. But It looks like Washington
to me-
whichever team wins, though.
they'll have their hands full when
they run UP against the Pirates.
And the going will be particularly
rough IL they don't shake out Of
their slump. The Pirates are go
ing great guns. They're under
Roadway now, and playing bang up
ball every day. If they keep til
up they'll so into the series il
top-notch form. And there's an.
other thing about baseball.
Go back over the records and
you'll find the team that wins
the world series Is the club that
saves lis pennaut to the finish.
The Giants last year went strong
all summer but sIumped bit
at the end OF the season and
Brooklyn came mighty near beat
ing them out. Washington. on
the other hand, started slowly
but came through with q rush
and was playing the greatest hall
Of the season right at the end.
And Washington won the world
series. They were on their toes.
The Giants, weary bit from the
pace, were still In their slump
when the series came.
Don't misunderstood me. I'm
pulling for the American League
team to win the series. And IL
they're going right when the series
opens believe they'll do II. Either
the Senators or the Athletics can
hit about as well as the Pirates.
Both clubs have better pitching
than the National League entry.
But 1t ought to be q battle.

The Griffs entered that third
frame on the small end Of 1.to-0
count. With one out Sam Rice
dragged q bunt safely down toward
first base and stole second, con-
tinuing on to third base when
Mickey Cochrane hurled the onion
into center field.
The big crowd went mad with de-
light and screams, shouts, howls
and whistles rent the air as Slim
Harriss proceeded to pass Goslin
and Joe Harris stopped a pitched
ball with his left shoulder. The
basees were jammed but Bluege's
best was q hopper down to Pool,
whose peg to Cochrane cut down
the flying Rice.
Up came Peck. The bases were,
loaded and two were out. Almost
at once, it seemed, HaFTiSs had ;
two strikes on the veteran short.
stopper. But what rocked he for
that? Not one little single thing.
H&
With all three runners prepared
the next one down the left field
line with all the power Of his swing.
Few batsmen put more power in
their drives than Roger Peckin-
paugh and he had everything be-
hind that one.
AS the ball danced Its way down
the line, hit the wall in front of
the field boxes and proceeded to
play hide and seek with Bill Lamar,
Goslin, Joe Harris and Ossie Bluege
tore around those sacks, chasing
one another over the plate. Peck
himself landed on third.
So much for the mine that Peck
had exploded beneath the Mackian
machine. Now he proceeded to
show up the enemy for what they
were, mere contenders, nothing
more.
AS Harriss wound up Washing
toms veteran shortflelder started
for the plate. Not In moons has he
attempted to steal home and few
believed him on his way, either,
until he was almost in. Harriss
was startled right out Of his shoes,
his pitch arriving too late and too
high to permit Cochrane to do any.
thing toward stopping that amaz-
ingly daring theft
If Peck had set the crwd wild
with his rude waIlOp down the
left field line, he set it crazy
with that steal home. He was
accompanied to the bench by n
chorus that simply would not
cease.
Slim Harriss, stunned by the sud
den turn Of the tide, fought hard
to gain control. Of the situation.
For two frames he was himself.
Then he began weakening and in
the seventh was knocked off the
rubber altogether. Too much work
in recent weeks was taking it's toll,
and three hits sent him to the
bench and brought in Jack Quinn.
The spitballer was treated roughly
in the eighth, probably because the
Griffs wanted him to realize Just
what they could do to him IL they
so desired.
Walter Johnson pitched steadily
all the way. Bing Millers triple
and a sacrifice fly put the AS
ahead in the second, but after the
third they were never in the run.
ming, and Barney conserved his
strength on the mound to engage
in a batting drill. He poled two
doubles and a single in four trips
to the plate, giving the AS a
broad laugh every time he whacked
a safety.
The fans gave Slim Harriss a
razzberry chorus and he didn't like
it. Indeed. so riled was the tall
one when driven to the bench that
he thumbed his nose at the world

Today the world champion Griff-
men are leading the pennant race
in the American league by four and
a.half games, thanks to their vic.
tory over the stumbling AS, Z to 8,
before some $4,000 fans yesterday.

The two contenders have been
staekering for a couple Of weeks.
The fight has told on them both
and, during their recent touT.

looked any too good. Their pitchers
were worn and frayed. their batters

There was . decided contrast In

infield worked like well-oiIed ma
chinery at all times and was sup

gardeners. There was a completes
ness about all they did that was
impressing.
The Mackmen looked dangerous at
the plate. but Walter Johnson was

much familiarity with his curves

did not seem any too sure OF what
they did and In the box they bore

American Negro Proposes to Con-

tives in Cape Province.

NEW YORK. October 3.-Construc-
ton of hotel for native students in
South Africa at cost of $4,000 has
been made the subject of an appeal
to $4,000 negro members Of the Ameri-
can y. NJ. c. A. by Max Yergan, an
American negro who pioneered in
organizing associations in Bantu
Land. The proposed clubhouse would

Council here expect other men to be
sent soon to South Africa to aid Yer
gan, who in his four years there has
organized almost single handed 26 as
sociations throughout the native will
derness and travels a circuit of 5000
miles to keep them in operation. Yer
gan's request will be referred to the
Conference on Colored Work, which
will be held in Washington, D. c., Oc-
