BATTERY FLAWS
GLAR|NG ON TRIP
Hurlers, Given Many Runs,

to Sink Club.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN,
stsff Correspondent Of The Star.

~ ETROTT, July 31.-With q
hve-game losing streak and
diminishing chances Of finish-
- ing in the first division the
Nationals squared of today for final
stand on q Western trip that will re-
quire O clean sweep over the Tigers
to net o 500 record.
Plainly, the washington ball club.
as 1t stands today, needs an over
hauling job. The Nationals rout by
the Indians in four games left little
doubt as to the need of action on the
part Of those who direct the destinies
of the team.
All season, the Griffs have shown
they play their best ball on the road.
Yet, for the current swing, they stood
today with q record Of only four VIC
tories as against seven defeats. Going
back still farther, to lend weightier
evidence to the charge Of incapability,
the Washington team has dropped IL
OF its last II games.
When this month started the Griffs
were in second place and riding high
They bore all the earmarks Of the
American Leagues surprise package
Today they are seven and one-half
games back Of the second-place In
dians, and in view Of the sustained
slump, there is little reason to expect
them to achieve again their former
high place without help
Only Three Games Well Pitched.
EOR time this year the Washington
pitchers, who had been so freely
libeled during the last few seasons
were able to point an accusing finger
at other departments of the club. And
the pitchers really were better thar
the rest Of the team. Now, however
the current swing of the West is prov
ing that if any steps are taken to re-
begin with the slabbing.
In the IL games games played or
this tour washington has scored g.
runs and made 130 hits. This is men
toned to emphasize what the team
must do to win. When the run anc
hit totals are divided by II, or tht
number of games played, a pretty
fair idea is the result. In plain Ian
guage, Washington has averaged NOR
than 6 runs per game and slightly
under II hits-and yet it has won onl!
four of eleven games.
Only thrice have the Washington
pitchers come through with high-clas
performances on the trip. Ear
