Altogether the Nationals played
81 games during June to n record OF
10 victories and s defeats. Their
winning percentage for the month
was .703, rate much higher than
their season average. While the cham
pions We're rolling along merrily, the
Athletics found the going rather
rough. They won but 16 of % en-

When the Nationals arrived yester-

On July 19 the Dominican Lyceum

Though many a "kink" Iay be

the actual experience Of cooking your

The fire is, of course. the first es.

build and maintain the right kind of
fire Is well on the way toward his mas

of fre depends on the purpose for
which It is to be used, likewise upon
the available supply of fuel.
To burn cleanly and with minimum

Wood burning fireplaces in city homes
are furnished with andirons, which
keep the sticks off the floor and per

stones or green logs take the place of

balsam. being very slow burning, is
commonly used for this purpose.
At lunch time, when the only use
for the fire is to boil a quart or so of
water. these dogs need not be more
than two or three inches thick, but
for camp, where continued cooking is
to be done, they should be from f1ve
to eight inches In diameter.
A backlog, or logs, serves a double
purpose. 1t reflects the heat straight
to the front and also-by shielding the
cook from heat-permits the use of
short-handled fry pans and broilers.
This combination of backlog and
dogs is called "one-way" fire, the
kind generally used in the North

better ball team than 1t was before
the infield was shaken up.
In the American League there are
about 20 pitchers who have broken
even or near it. That gives the reader
some idea of the closeness of the
fighting on the part of five clubs of
the league. In the National there are
about 80 such pitchers, and among
that number are such stars as Dono-
hue of Cincinnati and Alexander of
Chicago, which shows what a tough
time the experienced pitchers are
having.
Scott and Meadows Delivering.
Two old-timers who were not ex-
pected to maintain more than a fair
average are Scott of New York and
Meadows Of Pittsburgh, yet they are
coming through as top-notchers.
The failure Of some of the pitchers
referred to is due to the fact thai
they have not been getting enough
work. The present system of carry

ambition. Players are getting so they
no longer feel the sense of persona

Getting that game advantage is apt

played with them, but the Athletics

their series with the Rupert rifles
Eight times Macks and Yanks have
clashed, and seven times the Macks
have left the field in possession Of the
