Because Schalk reached second on a
drive to Bucky Harris when the latter
threw wildly to Peck in attempting a
force play, the National pilot was
charged with an error in the second
session despite the tagging of Hume
fled at third when the Rajah recov-
cred the sphere and heaved to Bluege.
Falk, trying to reach the middle
station ahead of Peck's forceout
throw in the second round, knocked
Bucky Harris off his pins. The man.
ager got to his feet quickly, stepped
up to Bib and apparently engaged in
earnest conversation with the White
Sox runner. Umpire Moriarty stopped
the chatter quickly. but Falk was
roundly booed by the fans through
the remainder of the game.
Boss Bucky was the big boy with
the bat for the Nationals, getting two
triples in three legal times at< bat.
Both were slams to the center field
fence.
This Hunnefield person, subbing at
third for the injured Kamm, seems to
be a handy man for the ChiSoX to
have hanging around. He fields in
good style and yesterday punished the
ball, getting a homer and two singles
in five efforts. Hunn's four-baser was
smack to the left field corner. 1t
was such hot drive that Goslin had
to stab at the ball several times be-
fore he could pick it up.
Substitution of Myer and SEVERED
for Peck and Ruel, respectively, in
the sixth inning. added a couple of
hits to the Nationals total. Myer
beat out a bunt the first time he went
to bat and Hank followed with a wal
lop down the left field foul line that
was held to a ground rule double only
because the ball bounded into the

"And if you can show winning
percentage above the 500 mark at
the finish OF the season, you are very
apt to be champion these days" the
veteran declares. That's why we
bother more about that winning per-
centage than standing now. It's fine
to be at the top of the heap in May
or June. but it's much finer to be
there in September.
"A club more concerned with its
winning percentage than it's stand
ing at this stage of the race is not
so apt to lose it's balance when 1t
drops three or four games in row.
More likely than not it will follow a
| string of defeats with a longer
string of wins.

since Washington has been in the
| Johnsonian circuit were won with
season percentages ranging from
| 588 to .636.
That .588 is the lowest ever to gain
a pennant. Detroit won with such a
percentage in 1908. Last year the
Nationals won with .636, but the year
before they annexed their first flag
with winning percentage of .597.
