Thus far the similarity between gen.

equal Importance are the dissimilar
tiles in trend depicted during the years
1922 and 1925. In 1922 the volume of
check payments trended upward
throughout the year, while retail
trade as seen from department store
sales trended downward through Au-
gust. The trend of general business
increasing more rapidly than retail
trade during 1922, finds its counterpart
in 1925. When ii is remembered that

Browns have been fairly easy pick
ings for the Nationals here, but in St.
Louis last month they took three Of
the four scraps staged with Harris
and Company. Four games in three
days are to be played with the Tigers
in Detroit, the double-header being
necessary because of a rained-out
game in June. Five games in four
days are to be staged with the Indians
in Cleveland.
This rather heavy schedule for
slightly more than two weeks is
likely to tax the National pitching
staff severely. None too formidable
numerically, the mound corps of the
locals has had plenty to do so far
this month and has done it's work
rather well, even though not so much
in the way of winning has been ac-
complished. The impending trip ought

CIawed by Tigers.
The Nationals were not so impress
sive yesterday as they wound up
their July home stand. They had no
pitching with which to battle the
Tigers and lacked punch in the
pinches. Fred Marberry was handed
a fine drubbing in the first two
frames, Bill Morrell and Stan Covel-
eslsie each took q couple rounds of
punishment, while Jimmy Uchr1nsko
in three innings showed that the
plate was swinging too much for
him. Jimmy gave up Ave passes, in
addition to six safeties.

Tigers, and while the left handler was
peppered in a rather lively manner,
he held the Nationals at bay when
ever they threatened to become
troublesome.

BASE BALL SECRETS
Sol MetzEer-
Start at Top Speed with Pitch.

When a runner is on base. with
two out and the batter has three
balls and two strikes. the runner
should start at top speed as soon
as the pitcher begins his pitch, as
shown on the left in the illustrR-
ton. He should not be so foolish
as to wait to see what the batter
is going to do. Then, If the run
ner starts at top speed in this stu
alton and the batter hits fairly, he
is almost certain to get two bases.
