Notes of the Nationals

ST. LOUIS, July 20.-Blues field
ing in the first game sparkled. The
Browns first baseman kept hit after
hit away from the Nationals with bril-
liant stops.
Hayes was charged with making the
only error of the initial encounter. In
the second inning, Jack dropped a
throw from Cronin that was intended
to force out Brannon. But Jack later
figured in two spectacular double
plays and made a whale of stop OF
McGowan's hard drive in the ninth.
Heinie Manush, aspiring to the
American League batting champion
ship, had a tough afternoon. In nine
times at bat he got but one hit, doubl-
ing off Burke in the sixth inning Of
the scond game.
Goslin, who beat out Manush for the
batting crown last year, did much bet
ter. The Goose went up 10 times for
five safeties.
Following tomorrows tilt, the
Nationals will board train for Wash
ington, where they are to begin on
Tuesday afternoon a home stand
against the West. Sam Rice and Sam
Jones are leaving the club at Steuben-
vile, Ohio. early Monday and will motor
from there to the Capital.

they'll replace a flock of the young left
hand swingers with right-hand batters.
At last it is realized the Washington
batting order is too much of a left
handed affair. Southpaw slab men have
had the club at their mercy all season.
From now on prospects batting from
the right side will receive much more
consideration than portside Founders,
even though the latter may be able TO
show batting averages somewhat fatter.
There's much to be done in the re-
building of the Nationals, too much to

suits next year. But they are likely TO

situation, following upon another in
Jury to the ligaments Of one of Ruth's

Babes condition and chances of re-
turning to the game shortly
The big fellow was on the bench in
uniform, growing about being perfectly
able to do some pinch hitting even If
he could not run very far or very fast.
Ruth, nevertheless. will not play in
