Of the 80 games, but lacked the fin
ishing power to annex single set.
Barney and Mac won the first two at
60 and the last at 8-6.
Throughout the first two sets in
the early afternoon Mitchell gave
Welsh all he was looking for, the
greatest exponent of the drop-shot in
Washington continually drawing the
champ out of position. Instead of
tiring, as would have any ordinary
man chasing Mitchell's tantalizing
strokes, Welshs condition stood him

called at the end of the third set he
was fresher than his opponent.
For Welsh had begun to return
drop for drop midway of the second
set and Mitchell was firing fast. He
had enough stamina left, however, to
smash one past the champion for the
deciding point that Welsh's racket
barely touched and which cost him
his first set in the District tourney

Fate Plays Up to Grimm.

THE Babes calling of that shot was
only accidental. Before, during
and after that 1882 series the Yanks
hurled charges Of "cheapskate" and
"piker' at the Cubs because when they
"divvied' the world series shares they
passed up Mark Koenig and Rogers
Hornsby. the latter having been de-
posed as the Chicago manager less
than two months before the series.
1t was a bitter tongue-lashing and
defeat for the Cubs and Grimm to
swallow. Next Fall there is a chance
that Mccarthy and Good Time Char
ley will meet again as world series
Grimm tomorrow will be offered a
chance to get even.
The gods of base ball have smiled
on Grimm. Originally, because his
team had won the 1885 American
League penant. Mickey Cochrane was
to manage the stars of Mr.. Will
Harridge's circuit.
Cochrane's nervous system
blew a fuse. however. and Har-
ridge named Mccarthy to sub
stitute, inasmuch as the Yanks
finished second to Mickey's
Tigers.
Grimm has not as much to lose as
Mccarthy. either. If Charley doesn't

he will not have been the first to fail
None of the three preceding pilots
has managed to beat the American
League, either. Mccarthy, however,

cult manager to fail-and Grimm and
his Cubs probably will be the first and
most persistent to remind Josephus
of the fact.

Boil Over.
BY JOHN LARDNER.

~ OSTON, July 6.-Do you think
- the ball players care what
happens in these all-star
O games? Well. I've been shop
ping around and I haven't found one
who can take it or leave it. It's an
important and breathless experience
for all of them.
In fact, there is nothing in the life
of good ball player, from one end
of the year to the other, that means
more to him than the all-star game
except maybe the signing of his con-
tract and the result of the world series,
If he happens to be in it.
And even the world series fails to
give him the same sort of thrill. In
the series he is thinking more about
a slice of the winners money pool
than anything else. If you feel that's
an unfair statement, ask any ball
player. He'll tell you plainly and
straightforwardly that it's the dough
they're hustling for in the October
classic.
The all-star game is different. For
one thing, the players get no cut Of
the gate. Dizzy Dean, surveying the
$4,000 rabid all-star customers at
Cleveland last Summer, said with
mock wistfulness:
Amt there no way we can get our
piece of that gate?'

Cards Take Pair to Gust
Losing Cubs-Tigers Save

BY SID FEDER,

Associated PreSS sports writer.
THERE must be something about
that National League lead to
give a ball club the jitters as
L soon as it gets into first place.
Ever since the season started it has
been more or less the custom for a
team to start faltering almost from
the moment it landed in the drivers
seat First it was the Giants, and now
the Cardinals and Cubs.
At the moment the Cubs and their
gas house gang rivals are putting on
the old "Alphonse and CASTOR" act in
the front-running berth.
A week ago the Cubs climaXed long
uphill haul and took over the top.
They lost Immediately and were back
in second place again.
But the gas house outfit no sooner
was holding the lead than it, too, start
ed slipping. The Cubs pulled out in
front Saturday.
Cards Take Two, Go to Top.
FOR the second time in week the
lead lasted just a day. Yesterday
the Pirates knocked Chicago off the
top again with 4-2 victory. while
the Cardinals slugged the Cincinnati
Reds. 8-6 and 1T. to move in.
With the Cards double victory stop
ping at least momentarily the forward
surge of the rampa ging Reds, the sup
posedly lowly Phillies gave the loop
something else to talk about but enter
ing their longest victory streak of the
season, stretching their run to five
straight yesterday over the Boston
Bees, 7-6.
AS II that was not enough, those
daffy Brooklyn Dodgers apparently
forgot they we're in the Polo Grounds,
where they are supposed to be jinxed,
and dubbed the Giants. 81, despite

ONE and one-half games behind the

are tied for the runner-up niche with
Detroit, the Griffs will be in a position
to carry the fight for a higher posi-
ton in the team standing. The last
time they encountered the Tigers they
swept three-game series, and while
they again are playing the world
champs the Red Sox, in Boston, will
be entertaining Chicago.
The White Sox may have been ba d
medicine for the Nationals this season
but so have they been tough on Tom
Yawkey's expensive outfit. With a
little help from the White Sox, plus
maintenance of their own pace of
the last couple weeks, Washington
might we'll re-establish itself as the
chief contenders of the Yanks by the
end Of the week.
Despite yesterdays victory, the first
scored by Washington over the Yanks
since April IS. there doesn't seem to
be any way of preventing the Yanks
from winning the flag this season.
Joe, McCarthy's outfit rather proved
this observation Saturday, when it
won that double-header from Wash
ington. 1t may not have been a case
of the Griffs looking so bad as 1t was
the Yanks looking so good. New
