ing with the Red Sox, all to be played
in Boston. The Champs hope to have
their second successive pennant tuck
ed away when they visit the Hub Sep
ternber 30 through october 8.
Goose Goslin is happy now. After
aiming at the houses beyond the right
field wall all season he hit his mark
Yesterday His homer was hit harder
than that credited to Roy Carlyle.
Both drives went over the diving girl
sign, but the Goose's lined across the
barrier and was farther from the foul
line than Carlyles, that looped across.
It was the fourteenth homer Of the
year for the Goose.
One Washington youngster got a
prize yesterday. When Ira Flagstead
famed for the last out in the Red Sox
ninth Muddy Ruel rolled the ball to
the slab. A little fellow, who leaped
out of a box along the third-base line,
rushed to the pitchers plate while the
teams We're exchanging positions, grab
bed the sphere and hustled through
the exit between the right-feld pavil-
ion and the grandstand.

Rice also got a two-bagger and a

A new batting order was used by
the Nationals, with Rice leading off,

field wall. Todt followed with a dou-
BILE to left center and romped home
when Prothro slashed a triple to the
far reaches Of left field. But the Doc
had to hold to the third sack, as Peck
tossed out Wamby and Rothrock lifted
a foul to Goslin.
One was out in the seventh when
the Nationals went to the front again.
Rice bunted, but the ball rolled to
Todt for an easy out. Bucky Harris
also bunted and hts tap went past
Ehmke for a single. Then Goslln,
with a mighty slam, sent the sphere
soaring across the barrier back of
right field.
That lead looked good until the Red
Sox got some odd hits in the ninth.
Prothro led off with a bunt that was
converted into a single when Johnson
failed to get TO first in time for a re-
firing throw from Judge. Wamby
hoisted to right center. Earl McNeely
apparently misjudged the slam, but
got under 1t in time for q catch, only
to muff the ball and let 1t fall for what
was styled a single. Prothro, fearing
a catch, had not left first base far be-
hind and had to pull up at second
when the sphere dropped safely.
Game Again Deadlocked.
When Rothrock famed and Muddy
Ruel caught Val Picinich's foul 1t
seemed that the Red Sox were through
for the day. However, Williams, bat
ting for Ehmke, sent a bounder to
Judge that became a single when the
first-sacker found no one at any of
the bases to take a heave for an out.
Rosenthal then cracked a clean single
to right that tailed Prothro and Wam-
by and tied the score. Flagstead
though. left his two teammates strand
ed when he whitfield.
The Champs won in their half of
the ninth when Red Sox strategy went
for naught. Goslin, first to face Fuhr.
socked a two-bagger to left. Todt
Arabbed Judges bunt and threw too
late to get Goslin going into third.
Hank SEVERED, a long ball hitter, was
sent to the plate instead of McNeely
and he was purposely passed by Fuhr,
filling the bases. Fuhr got to three
and-two count on Ossie Bluege, then
sent in a low pitch that walked the
batter and the game was over.

to continue their seven-game hold on
first place, for the Mackmen took the
measure of the Yankees, 8 to 2.

With Judge K M. Lands, base ball

1--WE put up a good fight, but the
odds against us were too heavy" said
Max Decugis, captain Of the French
team. "Borotra and La Coste carried
q heavy burden for France within a
weeks time against Australia and
America. We are proud of their
showing and hope to do even better
another year.
You must consider, too. that my
men are young and improving.
La Coste is only 20 and Borotra 27,
while Tilden and Johnston both are
over 80. Your Americans cannot last
forever, good as they are"
Williams and Richards won yester-
day because they were the better
team. Not only did they excel the
French pair in actual stroking, but
they were also steadier, their team
play was superior and they were
more resourceful.
From the start 1t was a battle for
the net, and the American team
proved itself distinctly superior, rare
ly relinquishing the position, in spite
OF Borotra's desperate playing and
Lacoste's steadiness.
1t was a fast and brilliant struggle
for the points right from the start
of the first set, with all volleying at
high speed. In few doubles matches

that the contenders will be other than
Pittsburgh and Washington, and most
of the meeting will be devoted to

pire, announces that he has been of

surprise to President John Conway
Toole, who has known for two or.
three months that the clubs were
ready to fight him. The opposition
to Toole is supposed to center in Buff
falo. where Toole has been in conflict
about the umpire question. Syracuse
also LIS said to oppose Toole because
it is owned by National League men
who dislike his stand on the draft
Toronto also is said to oppose him, as
is Rochester, although the latter is
doubtful. Possibly It Is Reading, or
what is left OF the Reading club.

A modified system of pari-mutuel

Had the White Sox been a little
better off in batting they might have
been in the thick OF the championship
fight today. They have serious case
Of aImost-itis.
Detroit is one of the best finishing
teams in the league. Each year, by
virtue OF their finish the year before,
they go into the race favored for a
chance at the pennant. But each year
they go. into a slump, to recover and
finish strong after it is too late to
win out. If Cobb can keep his team
going on the road, he has a good
chance Of winning third money for
them. Detroit even dares look toward
second place, but it viii take some
fast travelling. coupled with some
more severe slumping on the part of
the Athletics to bring 1t about. Mean
time the Tigers have got to go some
to keep ahead Of st. Louis and
Chicago.
Officials Of the Pirates, the GrifT.
men, the Giants and the Athletics
were scheduled to meet Commissioner
Lands in Philadelphia today to put
the finishing touches on alternate
plans for the world series. Barring
the schedule, the arrangements are
likely to be practically what they were
last year.

but her opponents bent their efforts
to keep the ball away from her so sue
cessfully that she found her opportu-

in top form, knows no superior in this
department of play.
AS for Borotra, 1t is doubtful II
any man was ever faster on the trig-
ger" than he when it comes to those

The impact of the ball against Borot-

sounded like the rattle of machine

La Coste, while not the spectacular

the ground stroke was overshadowed
by the volley in this match, but that
does not mean that the players were
not sound when 1t came to bringing
