WILLIS AND WELLS
UNLIKELY TO REPORT

ST. LOUIS. July 21.--Neither Ed
Wells nor Charley Willis. southpaw
pitchers awarded to the Nationals by
waiver. is apt to report to the club
here or anywhere else.
1t appears that President Griffith
needed hurler to send TO Birming-
ham and claimed these when they
were put on the list by the Tigers and
Athletics. But over the telephone
Yesterday Connie Mack said he could
not let Willis come to the Nationals
only for transfer to the Barons, and
President Navin had the same to say
about Wells. SO Washington was
expected to withdraw its claims to
the pitchers.
Bert Atkinson, young Chicago out
fielder. who reported to the Nationals
for trial last week, has signed a con-
tract and very likely will be farmed
to some minor club as soon as the
present trip ends.
Reeves put a pair of Chisox infield-
ers out of commission yesterday. In
the second inning while sliding into
into the middle sack Bob cut down
Ward, forcing Berg to be sent to sec.
ond for the ChisoX, and in the third
the National shortstop got in Peck 5
way as the Rajah tried to reach the
keysone sack. Peck bounced off Bob
and landed on his nose. The veteran
spilled a lot of gore. so Hunnefield
was at short when the Nationals
came I'D for their fourth inning.
Everybody in the game except UNI
pire Bill MCGOWAN seemed to know
that Coles roller at the start of the
Chisox seventh was foul. Judge,
watching the ball come down the line
on the outside of first base. did not
try to stop it. The Chicago coach at
first was not concerned about the
balls progress. Umpire Hildebrand,
standing beside the sack, turned his
back on the entire proceeding, and
Cole, after tapping the sphere. made
no effort to leave the batter's box.
Probably Bert was more surprised
than any one else when MCGOWAN de-
clared the hit fair. AS the ball had
travelled far down the line. Cole cas-
ily got to first and later scored.
Three White Sox runners were
nipped at the plate. Reeves took
Falk's bounder and headed off the
fleet Metzler in the first inning, Blu
eye grabbed Thomas roller and
nabbed Clancy in the fourth. and
Speaker made a perfect throw after
catching Kamm's fly to get Berg by
a couple Of yards in the dangerous
eighth.

A motion favoring the latter plan

BY JOHN b. KELLER.

ST. LOUIS. July Pitts just too
bad that a club stepping along at such
a pace as has the Washington aggre-
cation during the past six weeks can I
get anywhere in the American League
championship race. That a-to-S VIC
tory scored over the White Sox by the
Nationals yesterday was their thirty
first in their last 43 engagements.
Since the first week in June Bucky
Harris bunch has played at exactly
n .12I pace. a pace faster than the
Yankees, with all their big lead, have
travelled this year.
Yet The hest the Nationals can hope
for in the 1927 flag race is second
place, it appears. The Yanks, with
their eleven-and-one half game lead.
can be kept from the championship
only by a miracle. And about every
one connected with the business is
satisfied that this is no year for
miracles, Ia SO far as the American
League championship chase is con-
cerned.
The scrap for second place, though,
has Harris and his men all feVerish.
They feel they have Il private score
TO settle with the AS. the club that
was SO. easy for them in other sea-
sons, but which holds the lead in the
1927 series. And they have a tied
series with the Tigers to break. too.
With these sturdy rivals not so far
hack anu the White Sox still lingering
in the ofang, the Nationals need no
further urge TO battle.
HopefuI for Revenge.
They are hopeful of getting sweet
revenge for the three-ply licking they
took in Washington from the
Browns in the series that was to be
opened here today with 4 double
header. Bucky Harris bunch would
have to grab four of the Tits to leave
here Sunday night in front of the To-
Gals in yearly settos. That's quite an
order, even for a club that has won
IL of the II games it has played in
the West this trip.
The Nationals did not score their
eleventh victory Of the tour yester-
day without having their nerves put
on edge by the White Sox. Tom
Zachary, who went to the hill for the
first time in three weeks, was none
too steady, and in the seventh and
eighth rounds the Schalkmen threat
ened TO brush aside the lead the Ma
tionals had held since the second in
ming. go
Zach, in the eighth, filled the bases
with one out. then gave way to Gar
land Braxton.
The Schalkmen fiared up again in
the ninth. leaving on the bases at the
end of the game, potential runs that
would have brought about deadlock
had they become actualities.
Three pitchers were sent against
the Nationals by Manager Schalk. AL
Thomas. who started, gave up two
hits and walk in the second session,
enough to put Harris crew in front.
