Yanks Gave Jolt to Senators
During July and early August,
Washington played better bail than
any club in, the American league.
It wasn't any mere flash either,
because I consider Washington a
mighty fine ball club, well managed.
Just before coming west for the
final invasion of that sector, WASH
ington was scheduled to play New
York in a four game series at home.
At. that time the Yanks were about
II games out in front
I know for fact that Washington
had visions Of winning four straight.
Thai would have cut the New York
lead to seven games, thrown the
Yankees off their. stride and probably
paved way to pennant dash for
the Nationals.
The air castles fizzIed; New York
won three of the four and left Wash
ington with lead two games better
than at the start of the so-called
crucial series.
The result of the series proved
directly contrary to the pre-battle
dope. Instead of putting New

Mats Kept Losing Out In West
Leaving for the west, in second
place., with something lile a six game
lead over the highest club, Washing
ton, after winning the first game ir
St Louis, dropped the next three
then four in row to the Detroit
Tigers, three to Cleveland and two
to Chicago, a matter of II straight
defeats.
if any one would have told me
in, July thai the three second division
clubs, ST. Louis, Cleveland and CHI
cago, could have treated Washington
SO roughly, would have insisted on
an investigation as to their sanity
Yet that is what has happened.
Washington in second place, enjoy
ing six game lead, inside of two
weeks lost IL straight ball games
to supposedly inferior teams and
dropped from proud second to a
poor fourth.
Those who are counting Chicago
in, because of the margin of from
three to five games that the club
has held for some time, need
only glance at Washington's
record to learn otherwise.
#
Schedule Favors Blues a Bit
The remainder Of the National
league schedule favors the Pirates.
Pittsburghs inability to beat Boston,
since the Smith Bancroft battle, has
played havoc with it's chances.
Pittsburgh has only IL more games
with the three other contenders,
while Chicago has 81 such contests.
New York and st. Louis both play
13 games with the other three leads
ers.
New York has much the worst of
it as far as playing away from homc
is concerned, being on the road most
of the time. However, that is no
longer regarded as a serious handicap.
Looks as if the National league
race would surely go down to the
final week of the season, perhaps
the final day, before the pennant
winner is determined.

NEW TAX BILL

Facing a long and stormy legis-

ton bill was to be formally
launched upon its course in the
house late today.
Two plans-one cutting the ma
tion's revenues s2S5.515. 900 an.

proximately $4,000, 900 from the
taxpayers burden-wilI be pre-.

leader. who will propose amend
ments which would make the total
cut about $4,000, 900.
The first clash is expected to
come on the fixing of the corpora

carries a cut from 1871 to liz per
cent. Representative Garner plans
a further cut to IL per cent and
