Having played sensational and con.
sistent base ball, the Phillies, whom
the experts consigned to the second di-
vision at the start Of the season, had
a spike-hold on second place in the
National League today.
Slugging, backed by tight pitching
and fielding, enabled them to beat the
Boston Braves, IL to 4, yesterday and
rise to the rung next to the top, where
they are tied with the Pirates and
Giants. With their next games sched-
uled for the home lot, the Phillies have
a chance for first place.

day, as in every game this season, lead

while Pruett held the Braves to six
hits.
Another striking thing about the
standing today is the fact the Yankees
and the Cards head their respective
leagues at this early-season date in
1927, just where they stood at the end
of play in 1926.
st. Louis rose to the rightfuI place
of a world champion by defeating the
Pirates, who had been breezing along
in the lead. A rare duel Of pitchers
decided the issue, with Jess Haines of
the Cards just shading Ray Kremer
Of the Pirates. The only run Of the
game was Douthit's homer in the
sixth, which was enough to win for
the Cardinals, 1 to 0.
When st. Louis other major league
representative, the Browns, finally
dropped a game to the Cleveland In

their third defeat in eight gains. Like
the Phillies, the Browns were picked
for the cellar, but they, too, hold a
second place at this writing.
Just above them, the Yankees hold
on first position weakened a little as
they lost to the Senators, to 4.
Goose Goslin did the home-run hitting

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
HERE IS FAVORABLE
George O. Watson Believes
Capital Conditions Are Much
Same as Last Spring.
BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Business conditions in the National
Capital are much the same as they
were last Spring, in the opinion of
George o. Watson, president of the
Liberty National Bank. He also be-
lieves that the business outlook for
the coming Winter is, on the whole,
favorable. In reply to an inquiry
from the American Bankers Associa-
ton, now in session at Houston, Tex,
Mr.. Watson sent the following brief
statement regarding conditions here:
conditions in Washington are
about the same as in the Spring.
Building conditions have been materi-
ally curtailed. although governmental
work now in progress and more in
prospect takes care of the labor sit
uati0n to some extent so that bust
ness does not feel the effect.
Mercantile business is good. In
stallment business is reported as being
maintained at the level of the past
few years. Money is plentiful and
rates are cheapening on account of
outside corporations coming into
Washington to place their funds.

for the Winter is favorable"
