BY BURTON HAWKINS.

The Nationals are beginning to
bear more than faint resemblance
to a balky ancient f1ivver. They
have travelled a bumpy road, paus-
ing frequently for repairs. but just
when it seemed the journey would
be more pleasant the Mats have
been plagued with series of fiat
tires in the hitting department.
Lack of hitting normally hasn't
been one of the evils of the Mats
this season. Throughout the cam
paign they have clung tenaciously
to their perch as the leagues second
best hitting club. Pitching gener-
ally may be blamed for Washing
tons crumpled condition, but now
the Mats are receiving cum laude
pitching and their swatting has
vanished.
At long last Sid Hudson, Ken
Chase and Dutch Leonard have To-
Gated the plate and are delivering
a steady stream of nicely assorted
pitches over that chunk of white
rubber. Followers of the club pa
tiently have awaited such develop
ments, hoping the Mats would soar
a bit, but now an irritating bar
rier has materialized.
Washington can't muster enough
runs to support its recently superb
pitching. In their last four games,
which has, included brace of l3-
inning affairs, the Mats have manu-
factured four earned runs and a
total of seven of any description.
Six of those were obtained for
Leonard when he whipped the
White Sox on Tuesday.
Hudson Forces Run Across.
The Mats were presented a 10
victory in 13 innings on Saturday

For the first time since the sea-
son was in its infancy the New
York Yankees are in first place in
the American League today and
now the pressure is on the Cleve-
land Indians.
Critics of Cleveland always have
contended the Indians were front
runners who would fold up if the
going got tough. and the Yankees
are not going to let anybody wait
til September to find out.
The Yanks captured the lead yes
terday by humping the st. Louis

Boston Red Sox raided the Tribe,
7-2.
Joe Di Maggie led the bombing in
New York with tWo-run homer
that extended his hitting streak to
81 games, short of the record, and
made 20 consecutive contests in
which one or more of the Yankees
have hit home runs. The Browns
forged into the lead in the eighth on
Harlond Gifts homer with one on,
but the Yankees, acting as though
there were no question of their su-
premacy, came right back with a
three-run rally on a double and
three singles.
1t was the Yanks' 18th triumph in
is games.
Grove Gets 298th Win.
In Boston the Indians were set
back on their heels by old Lefty
Grove, who pitched seven-hit ball
for the 298th victory of his long
and illustrious career. Ted Will
liams raped a two-run homer in
the fourth. and his mates put to-
gether a flock Of doubles for five
runs in the seventh.

CHICAGO. June 26.-Illinois' fiery
little Dutchman, Bob Zuppke, ap-
parently is ready to come out
fighting in the latest round of his
battle to stick as the Illini football
coach-a post he's held % years.
The veteran mentor, who came
out on top in 1888 when the uni
versity trustees blocked a move to
GUST him, is the central figure in
another controversy over Illinois
poor gridiron showing in recent
years
1t was brought to a head last April
when alumni asked for an investi-
cation Of the schools football setup
and has resulted in long, secret
meetings of the athletic board and
trustees the past two weeks.
Zuppke Fighting Custer.
Trustees and other officials have
been noncommittal on those ses-
sions, but it was reported that at
the last, on June "a, it was recon-
mended that both Zuppke and Wen
dell Wilson, the Illini athletic direc-
tor, be asked to quit to clear up the
muddled situation.
Wilson. three years ago, obtained
"Zup'S' reslgnation-only to have
the trustees refuse to take it.
Zuppke yesterday spent several
hours in Chicago, repeatedly con-
ferring with three alumni members
OF the athletic board who are said
to have assured "zup' they would
rather resign than vote for his
custer from a job which he took
over III 1913 and which brought
him recognition as one of the ablest
mentors in the business.
Most observers agree that the
situation has gone beyond the cool
ing off" stage. Many alumni have
been irked by Illinois poor showing

last six seasons. have won only 10
Big Ten games while losing 20.
Last year Illinois won its opener,
then lost seven in a row.

On the other hand, Zuppke has
no intention of quitting. Coaching
at Illinois is his hfe's work and he
wants to keep on working-at I'LL
nois. Last year a National profess
sional football league club offered
him 5-year contract of $4,000
and he said no" without hesitation.

posing coaches, his teams staged
