ponements in May and as many in
June. July saw one and August one.
Not at all bad.
THIS has been better than average
J. double-header season for the Ma
tionals, too. They have partici-
pated in Is twin bills, a dozen due to
the postponements. OF these double
headers the Nationals won six and
divided the spoils in as many. They
took both ends of two of their three
holiday double headers, scoring twice
over the Yankees on July and twice
over the Red Sox on Labor day.
May 80, Memorial day. saw the Ma
tionals take two lickings for the only
time in one day this season. The Ath-
letics handed the johnson band that
severe lacing.

Manager johnson expected to send
to the firing line Lloyd Brown, originally
scheduled to work yesterday, and Irving
Hadley. The Indians were apt to counter
with Clint Brown and Milburn Shoffner,
the latter hurler of southpaw persua-
sion who has troubled the washington
outfit no little at times.
Evidently the Indian management
was rather eager to seize any oppor-
tunity to escape putting on a game
yesterday at Dunn Field Although it
had rained here early in the morning,
the field had been covered and was in
good condition for play, when a light
shower began falling about 1880 in the
afternoon. The rain. little more than a
drizzle, had not been under way IS
minutes when General Manager Evans
decided to wait another day. Five
minutes after the postponement had
been declared the rain stopped and
there was no more until night.
Only few hundred fans were waiting
for the park gates to open when the
postponement was announced. Maybe
it was thought a double header would
bring out several thousands.

here and return to his home that he
might rest his injured leg The knee,
hurt incurred during a game against
the Tigers in Washington last month

Johnson knows of no reason why he
should be kept around the remainder
of the season.
Kuhel, by the way, is to be married
in Kansas City on october 9.
WHETHER the Nationals play an ex-

Monday depends upon the train
service between Detroit and the Cana
dian city and also upon the weather in
Detroit 1t seems the club would be
unable to reach Montreal in time for a
contest Monday unless the departure of
the regular Sunday Afternoon train from
Detroit be delayed by the railroad man.
agement. And should rain prevent play
in Detroit Sunday there would be no
exhibition in Montreal, for the post
ponement would have to be played off
the following day.
The exhibition date in Hartford,
Conn, next Tuesday however. will be
kept by the Washington club, as it does
not open its four-game series with the
Red Sox in Boston until a week from
today.
ID AY TREADWAY, infielder-outfeld-
N er. bought not long ago from
Washington's Chattanooga farm,
has reported to the Nationals and was
to be used by them today. Manager
Johnson planned to employ the former
lookout at third base. Treadway, who
swings from the left side, hit well up
in the .300'S in the Southern Associa-
ton.
