paign is break even. They took
June.
The Nationals will enter the bat
ties with the Browns with their
pitching staff pretty well shot as a
result of the extra work done IN
the drawn-out series with the
Tigers. Manager Johnson will not
have a pitcher at hand excepting
Don Savidge, rookie, who did not
get into action in the struggles
with the Harrismen. However. the
Washington punch seems to be
getting better, and it may offset
the slabbing handicap the next
three days.
Nationals and Tigers were to put on
another double-header this afternoon
because rain prevented the clubs play
ing to a decision in a second tilt yes
terday after the home side had licked
the visitors, 4 to l. The Nationals were
leading, to 2. in the second encounter
when the shower came to end everything
after the Tigers had finished their third
batting turn.
A Brisk Brush.

went to a decision. For Eve innings

tallies, and they boosted their score
with another in the eighth. -
Sam Jones and Victor Sorren were
the opposing fingers at the outset OF
the game, and both appeared in good
trim. Jones went the route, yielding
seven hits spread over six innings. In
the one round the Tigers were able TO
cluster as many as two Safeties they
counted. Jones also issued three passes,
but none figured in the rtn-making.
Sorrell had a stormy first round, IN
which he was nicked for three hits,
then allowed but two hits in the next
four rounds. He weakened in the sixth,
though, and gave up three more safeties
that beat him. Phil Page pitched two
innings, in which he walked five batters.

Rice singled and raced to third when
Goose Goslin hit for O base. Sam tai
