Is an air of desperation about the

might well furnish a tip-off on the
Nationals and their chances.
With few exceptions the Nationals
have been banging the ball hard.
Their fielding has been of a high
standard. But the pitching has been
little more than mere throwing, and
this handicap has been too much for
even the batsmen to overcome on
their best days.

Hits Go to Waste.

NEVER has this been more in evi-

series with the White Sox, who were
to be encountered for the last time
today. With one exception-Ted
Lyons five-hit performance-the
Griffs have pounded out enough hits
to win behind a big-league grade of
pitching. Yet they have lost three in
a row after winning the first tilt and
have dropped so far down the Ameri-
can League ladder that a defeat today
and victory for the Athletics would
find them in next to last place.
Just how deplorable the slab situa-
tion has been may be readily seen.
In their four games to date with the
Chicago Sox the Washington hurlers
have given up "a runs, nearly 9 per
game. All but one of these was
earned. Forty-seven hits-nearly IL
per contest-have bounced off the
bats of Jimmy Dykes crew. Only one
pitcher, Earl Whitehill, has gone the
route and he was socked for 13 hits
in a one-Sided tilt.

No Relief in Sight.

THE Griffs need added pitching
l. strength, if this is a criterion
of the pitchers ability, but, to quote
Harris, Where are we going to
get it?"
If you have ever seen man pacing
death-cen hoping against hope for
a reprieve you have an idea of how
Harris feels today as he awaits mid
night tomorrow. To the rest of the
world it. will, be only IL o'clock; to
Harris it may sound like a death
knell to his flag hopes, for then is
the deadline on big league bartering.
He is desperately in need of a
winning hurler and, while he will
not admit it, for obvious reasons,
you can safely wager that he, too,
is hoping against hope the next few
hours viii bring him such a person.
There appears little chance, how
ever. The Yanks, Tigers, Indians
and Red Sox have, no hurlers to dis
pose of at present. The Browns, ever
a trade mart for the Nationals, have
little left following Washington's pur-
chase of Buck Newsom and Bump
Hadley and Philadelphia's trade that
netted George Blaeholder. The AS
have a pitching staff not even as
good as that of the Nationals.
