Y 11.-There's % nothing : good oSa
for the Nationals in the
West, it seems.
In their second invasion this
season of the inland sector OF the
league, curtailed yesterday by rain
in Cleveland, JohnSon's charges
played better than 500 base ball
yet lost ground to the Athletics
and the IndianS-the money"
clubs they still hope to overhaul.
When they left home late last month
for their jaunt through the West the
Nationals we're two and half games
back of the AS and just that far behlnd
the Tribe in the race. The Nationals
finished their swing still in fourth
place, but five games back CT the Ath-
letics and three and half games be-
hind the Indians.
How far back of the Yankees the
Washington club may be doesn't mat
ter. for the YankS are in a league by
themselves these days.
In their second Western swing the
Nationals won eight games and lost
seven. Rain washed out two games that
will be disposed of when the club visits
the inland sector next month.
While the Nationals we're moving
along at that pace. however, the AS
stepped out to win nine games and lost
only three, while the Indians also took
nine games and lost six. The Nationals
did widen the gap between themselves
and the fifth-place Tigers. The Detroit
club was two games back Of them at
the outset CT the Western tour. Now
it is trailing the johnson band by two
and half games.
The Tigers aren't in the money"
class, though. The Athletics and the
Indians are those the Nationals must
go after to get the dough.
LAD the Nationals kept their heads
! / up and been on their toes all the
way through the West, they prob
ably would have finished with a much
better record for the trip. The greater
part Of the way. however, their play
lacked spirit and several games that
might have come their way had they
battled in more determined manner
went against Johnson's charges.
The club displayed little punch gen.
orally. At times it batted heavily, but
more often it was woefully weak and
failed to back with telling hits good
pitching in several tussles that slipped
away.
During the Western swing, the Ma
tionals batted at an average of 1854

The price Of light native cowhide, the

Cotton Textiles-The stand of the

Textile World, the most important de-
velopment in the industry since the
move to eliminate night employment of
women and minors was started. Adop-

Profit-taking and the familiar ten

steadiness. Rails had further ad-

REVIEW. BOARD
DENIES WAR ON
VALUATION CUT
McCIoskey's Authority to
Slash Assessments Not
Questioned.

County board of review members
today firmly denied report that
they were questioning authority of
John c. McCloskey, Center town
ship assessor, to enforce a 20 per
cent decrease in township property
assessments.
1t was reported the board would
get an opinion from County Attor-
ney Charles B. Clarke regarding
McCloskey's powers.
McCloSkey ordered the blanket
decrease a few days ago. 1t cut
township valuations $82,000,0OO and
sliced revenue in 1888 about $2,400,-
900.
He has the right to decrease or
increase until he hands his books
over to the board of review" Robert
E. Sloan, county assessor and board
president, declared.
Sloan, indicating he favored the
blanket decrease, said 1.-THE board
would review McCloSkey's assess
ments and adjust them on basis of
true cash value of property"
THAT may mean further decrease
for Center township property" he
continued.
Charles r. Grossart, county au-
ditor, branded the report as "un-
authentic and not given out by any
member of the review board"
A storm of protest from various
county taxing and budget making
officials has fallen upon McCloskey
since he ordered the valuation re-
duced.

Ali these events are certainties excepting
the state amateur. Not that Woodmar

but according to Jess Mossler. veteran sec

can't be held because Of the lack of club

Entrants, and there are plenty of them

they belong to a club who holds member

plain words, the clubs OF the state haven't
decorated the mahogany with the SIS re-
quired and if clubs don't belong to the as

RENO, New, July s. Max Baer,
California heavyweight, won a
twenty-round decision over King
Levinaky OF Chicago Monday at Jack
Dempsey's improvised arena, there
by joining the group of possible OPP
ponents for Max Schmeling in Sep

1t was Baer's second victory over
the Chicago fish vendor in six
months. He won with the same
pile-driving body attack which
gained him a ten-round decision
over Levinsky in New York last
January.
Baer, one of the hardest hitters
in the ring, weakened his opponent
with continuous barrage of stiff
hooks to the stomach and short
