- They took it on their chins

their three-game series with the
Athletics here, but the Nationals are

took another licking, which leaves the
wavering Washington outfit still leading
the American League race with an ad-
vantage Of eight and half games.
All the breaks 60 the way of the

beaten in the only game they have

the Nationals pick up a half game on

However, the league leaders
feel hurt plenty so far as their
pride is concerned. That 12-tO-

suffered by them this season, but
also was their sixth defeat in the
last IL games. Which doesn't
set we'll with potential champions.
The Nationals were hopeful of better
luck today as they went back at the

Joe Cronins overnight plans. Maybe

NAT BOSS PREFERS
TO CAB ABOUT 1884
Tells of Talent Due From
Minors, but Is Wild Over.
Pennant Prospects.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.
NHILADELPHIA, September 2.


- Clark Griffith is a for
i ward looking base ball man.
Although his Nationals have
a lead of 8ls games with only %
to play-which virtually amounts
to having the pennant in the bag
he is mulling over prospects
that might make the club even
better next year.
But then the Washington owner
will talk about anything but the
state of his club these days.
Naturally, he had nothing to say
about it yesterday after it took
its fine lacing in the series opener
with the Athletics. And though
secretly happy, he suppresses any
emotion occasioned by what sue
cess it enjoys.
So superstitious is Griffith that he'll
not brand his Nationals as even prob
fears any optimistic expression coming
from him might jinx his pets. The
Washington prexy is really serious
about 1t.
So when the talkfest among the ball
clubs BARRIERS" threatened to become
all perlnant and world series stuff, the
big boss sldllfully veered the CONVEX
sation to other subjects and soon had
all hands listening to his recital of the
doings of some wonders he has planted
in the minors.
Maybe the talk wasn't intended to
impress upon some OF the particularly
cocky Nationals that they might have
to do some battling to maintain their
berthS next season.
But Griffith said enough about
his material in the minors to
build up a great resistance argu-
ment to chuck at the boys when
contracts are discussed next
