There are two very good reasons Tor
this-the size of the Philadelphia park
and the caliber of the Macklets' op~
ponents.
Shibe Park is built on the bandboX
order, a circumstance which is Just
made to order for the AS, whose forte
Is slugging pure and simple, while
the records show that against the
Tigers, Chisox, Indians and Browns,
, the clubs to be entertained, both in
the Capital and Quakertown, Mack S
maulers boast far better record than
the Griffmen, with 81 victories against
IS defeats in 46 games played, while
the Nationals own but 81 wins to off
set 1S reVerseS in As battles, a margin
of just 31a games in favor of the
Macklets.
Full Strength Now Presented.
This difference can be accounted for
largely by the fact that the Griffmen
were woefully crippled during their
recent swing through the western
sector, when they contrived to merely
break even in IA games played, While
the AS were running roughshod over
the representatives of the sunset divi-
sion of the loop.
At one time or another the Har-
Sismen were compelled to battle
without the services of Joe Judge,
Roger Peckinpaugh and Goose Cos
lin, while Walter Johnson was absent
throughout the entire stretch. In
Moon Harris, Everett Scott and Memo
Leibold the champions have a squad
of capable reserves, and these subs
performed in admirable style, but
there is no denying that top-notch
efficiency for the National machine
cannot be maintained unless all the
regular cogs are in place and func-
tioning properly, while the effort to
find a hurler capable Of carrying on
with Johnson's effectiveness while he
was kept idle by illness proved a fiat
failure. Gregg, Ogden and Russell

QUINN WINS ANOTHER
GAME FOR ATHLETICS
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-Jack Quinn,
veteran of many diamonds, has dem
onstrated once again that age must
be served sometimes in base ball. He
pitched the speeding Athletics yester-
day to a 2-to-1 victory over the team
which spurned him only few weeks
ago, the Boston Red Sox.
He permitted eight hits, but he kept
them scattered so widely that not
until the final inning did the Bosto-
mans cross the plate, and then it was
for a lone tally. Philadelphia located
only six safe hits, but one of them
was an opportune double by the
Boston boy Gordon Cochrane, and a
double steal made the second and
winning run.
Other. teams in the American
League passed the day in preparation
for the Western invasion, which will
last for two weeks and a half.
Pittsburgh gained another notch in
the National League with a two-run
rally in the tenth inning that set back
the Boston Braves, to 5. Young
Gautreau, Bancroft's second base
man, played marvelously in the field
and sent forth a double and three
singles.
The Giants had a day of idleness
and the victory gave the Pirates a
lead of one and one-half games.
Cincinnati had a double conquest
over the Cardinals through the pitch
ing of Rube Benton and Jakie May,
4 to and to 0. May had won only
one game in six for the season when
he pitched this shutout. Hornsby
garnered one single during the
afternoon.
