CLEVELAND, July Furnished
severely by the Yankees after
scoring 10 victories in a row
~ the Nationals tomorrow viii
begin a desperate struggle tc
keep their heads above water
Although now in second, place in the
American League race, their position
is so insecure that just few more
reversals would send them topping
into the second division. With the
White Sox and Tigers so close. every
game Bucky Harris bunch enters dur
ing it's second invasion of the West
this year must be regarded as big
game.
When the club left home the night
Of July 8, after Keeling off its tenth
triumph in succession, 1t was nine
and a half games back of the league
leading Yankees, game ahead OF the
Schalkmen Of Chicago and two games
in front of the hustling Detroit band
led by George Moriarty. Now the
Nationals are 1914 games behind the
New Workers and have not improved
their advantage over the two formid.
able Western rivals that they Will
encounter next week.
Evidently the players in their base
ball buzzing around their hotel and
dressing room in New York, talked too
much Of the strength of the Yankees
and too little of the capabilities of
their own club.
Younger Pitchers Feared.
All Of this conversation respecting
the powerful Founders of the Higgins
clan served to fill the younger men,
bers Of tho Washington pitching staff
with fear of the Yanks. apparently.
for they certainly did not perform in
the carefree, yet precise manner that
they had against the Red Sox and
Mackmen during their winning
Splurge.
The Yankees are fine hitters, no
doubt. but according to veterans of
the Nationals the New Workers can
be slowed by good pitching just the
same as any other club. Walter john
son demonstrated this during the first
three of his four innings of relief
work against the Yanks in the initial
game of the Fourth of July double
header in the big city.
The canny old-timer had Babe Ruth
and company at sea until he tired.
But none Of the others pitted against
the Yanks revealed anything worth
while in a pitching way. The harder
the Yanks hit them the harder the
National pitchers pitched, and that
was duck soup for the sluggers.
II they learned from their expert
ence in New York, the younger
pitchers might go we'll in the first
two series in the West, for in them
they will face clubs well able to pun
ish hurlers that persist in pumping
the ball through at top speed. The
six games here with the Indians and
the Eve games in Detroit with the
Tigers to follow will mean deal of
effort for Harris mound staff and
on what 1t accomplishes in these two
series virtually depends the clubs
success in this Western invasion.
A fair break in Cleveland and De-
troit and the Nationals probably will
find the going pretty good in Chi
cago and st. Louis. too. But re-

To the late Hiram Connibear, dean
Of the Western crew mentors, how.

the outstanding features Of the rowing

known.
Connibear taught the Washington

i i S. Callow, crew coach of the

Now acting as rowing coach for the

to leave Washington in the lurch."
Callow received cablegram from
University of Washington authorities
last night. The message was read to
him over the telephone from the
Havana Office. but because Of poor
connection he did not understand it
all. He did learn that the cablegram
was signed by Ed Allen, chairman of
the BOARD or control, ana ne unQef'
stood it to be regretful acceptance of
his resignation.
Always a crew coach, Callow re-
fused to run the risk of waking Ha-

would he bulge from the boathouse
where his crew slept.

job to see that they get it. Tomorrow

Callow said that Pennsylvania had
offered him more than $4,000 a year
to take charge Of it's crews. Fred
Spuhn, whose contract expired at

tanned as assistant if Callow assumed

Three forest fires were reported
this morning by men on duty in
the Fire tower at Mckee City.
Fire Warden Krewson. of this

third fire, which seemed smaller

morning.

Jerseys afire," they reported over

high over the forests.
Fire Departments from this city,
Mays Landing and Somers Point,
with hundreds of volunteers,

worst fire in this section in recent
years all day yesterday, through
the night. and continued to fight
it today as it ragged across the

AbSecon SolonS
To Receive Bids
Special Meeting To Be Held
For Fire Engine Award
Tomorrow
LA FRANCE SPECIFIED

At a special meeting of the
Absecon City Council which will
be held tomorrow night, bids for
six cylinder fire engine of the
pumping type will again be re-
ceived.
Council has specified that the
fire engine to be bid upon shall be
of the American LaFrance six
cylinder gasoline pumping type,
which complies with specifications
ON file in the office of the city
clerk.
This will make any action of a
rival fire engine company towards
bidding to furnish the city with
fire apparatus futile.
Members of the Fire committee
of city council, at meetings held in
which the merits of the various
fire engines had been discussed,
had found the LaFrance machine
of superior type to others which
were judged with an attitude to
give the city the best engine to
answer local purposes and con-
ditions.
Their decision was based partly
on the reports of officers of "The
Oaks" fire company. in the upper
end of the city, where the new
apparatus is at present being
housed.
An ordinance had been passed,
and the bids awarded once, but
an error had made it necessary for
Councilmen to again repeat their
action in awarding the bid. That
action is expected to be taken to-
morrow night.
There was no opposition to the
ordinance which was passed EN-
powering the Council to seek bids.
This was despite the fact that
members of the other Volunteer
Fire company had opposed the
Council awarding the bid to the
LaFTance company.
A large number were disappoint.
ed Saturday afternoon when they
gathered at a tract off Ohio ave-
nue. to watch a contest between
fire engines of rival makes which
had been widely advertised in resort
papers.
No arrangements having been
made for such contest, which
was supposed to demonstrate the
merits of the various fire engines.
it failed to take place, although it
had been announced as a certain
fact that it would be held.
