a neat single to left field in the eighth

5-4 victory over the Heurich

Keyser. who batted in two runs and

Western Trip Is Success.

ON PAPER the Nationals would
seem to have an edge for the week
over all rivals. So far this season the
Athletics have rolled over and played
dead at the sight of a Washington
uniform and, consequently. the Griffs
have won seven out of eight games.
The Red Sox, unless they pull them
selves together. are due to get going
over in New York. Cleveland may
have its troubles when it again hits
the road and the Tigers. without
Greenberg and Cochrane, still are un-
known quantities despite their recent
spurt.
The Nationals will not wind UP the
second long road trip of the season
until they play the four games in
Philadelphia, but. finishing the West
ern portion of the jaunt with eight
victories and five defeats, they seem
fairly certain Of showing good record
for the entire tour
To accomplish the feat of winning
of l3 games in the West the
Gr1ffs swept three-game series with
the Tigers and Browns and broke even
in four games with Chicago. The
three-game set in Cleveland was a
vashout. Washington dropping every
thing.

have been found.
Two million fans voted, ac-
cording to the tabulstions. The
population of New York is in

that six Yanks made" the
