They were at .7o5 that evening
when the stars came out. and Wash
ington stood at $50. When the sea-
son was over the Nationals were cham
pions and the Athletics had .519, for
which reason those who delight in
saying that 1t is a long race and a
hard race may take heart again and
predict the ultimate downfall of the
Yankees.
The Athletics were almost 200 two
or three times during the remainder
of June in 1925, but on June so they
had sagged so that Washington went
into first place, and from then until
the end of the season there was little
Joy in the passing days for the griev-
ing Quakers.
But Miller Higgins class AA biff-
ers are a history making crowd. no
matter what happens to them from
now on. The Yanks still have to be
defeated q full score of games-and
when that happens they will be less
able to hold their own in the vicinity
of 200.
New Record for Walter.
June Is always will be a historic
date in the lives of famous pitchers,
because on that day for the first time
since Walter Johnson became identi-
fed with a championship base ball
team, he had pitched more than 10
games and had lost more than he had
Won
The White SoX turned this trick. 1t
really marks an epoch in base ball
Johnson has had seasons in which he
has not been glaringly successful, but
not since the Nationals have been win
ming pennantS has he had any quite
so full of reverses as the present. His
skill and his strength, fine teamwork
and timely batting of the Senators
have been carrying them along, yet
the White SoX, with Moreheart at sec
ond and Hunnefield at short-both re-
cruits of this year-f1opped the old
fellow on his back by a squeeze play.
That left the tally of games pitched
by Johnson at s won and lost
Milwaukee Not 'In" Yet.
When the Giants made their success
sive winning record of &c victories i'm
1916 they knew from the start that
the chance of winning pennant was
almost hopeless. But the team kept
on. day after day, and never was
Squelched until the Boston Braves in
September started the fireworks
against Sallee in the twenty.seventh
game by batting home runs into the
left field bleachers.
The Milwaukee Brewers made a sue
cessive victory run of 81 games this
season and finally were stopped by
Mcnamara of Toledo, who had been a
Giant player. And yet when Milwau-
kee finished its 21-game record, which
also is a record for the American AS.
Sociation, the team was not within
sight of the pennant by a long shot.
Milwaukee leads, but only by small
margin, and so keenly is the race be-
Ing contested that, as likely as not,
Louisville. Indianapolis or some other
team will be at the top before the year
is much older.
Good left-handed pitching has had
much to do with the success of Mil
waukee, but 1t was the old geezers who
did the pitching and not kids, and it
was old geezers pitching left handed
who helped the Giants more than once.

 Since prosecutions Of dealers be- gan here some months ago for selling apples which tho authorities contended had been sprayed with arsenic during the growing stage as protection against the codling moth, London merchants estimated that the American apple business has fallen off from 40 10 GO per cent.
 Much publicity has been given tho "con'amina'ol apple court cases in the newspapers, and re- follers say it is difficult to sell even tho best known American brands. regardless of their color and whole some appearance because of the right which has been given the housewife by reading testimony Of city and county medical health of- hcials that analysts had declared there vas a certain amount Of danger in eating sprayed fruit from The irrigated section of the United States
 The wholesalers, some Of whom have had scientific invrstieauons made, contend there Is no danger 10 the public from the arsenic sprayed apples.
