Nothing plays more havoc with a ball club than a continued losing streak just at a time when it ap- '| pears to be pennant bound. - . » I opened the season with Washington club this year. every member of the club intended to give Manager Harris his best ef- forts. Harris early showed that stand the failings and strong points of his men, handle them accordingly, and thereby show that he appreciated their efforts in his behalf. Sitting next to Harris on the Washington bench one day I listened intently as he replied to a number of questions that were being fired at him by a sports writer His answer as to where the club would finish is still fresh in my mem- ory: - » » '"Haven't the slightest idea where we will finish, simply know we will battle for every game. "When the day's game is over we will start figuring how we can best play the next one. It's the team with the best percentage that wins the pennant, "My club will give the fans the best play possible and will be satis- fied with the results attained at the close of the season." » . . Harris at that time entertained mo highly colored pennant ambitions. He was out to make the best possible showing, willing to stand pat on the results. Harris hag proved beyond a doubt that he has the mettle worthy a leader, and his team showed that it has the courage of a pennant con- tender, Washington met New York in a five-game series in July after the Na- tionals had moved into first piace. It was the first crucial series of the year. The Yanks won four out of five, That beating will knock them off, thought the Yanks and the experts, but it didn't. Washington started another winning streak. A month later, after again moving into first place, St. Louis took five straight games from the Nationals, at a time when every game meant much. I feared that such a reverse in so important a series would possibly wreck the pennant hopes of the club. It didn't. The Nationals are still hanging on with sonfething in re- serve, * . . A 'game ball club with an equally courageous leader is always to be feared. There you have Washington and Manager Stanley Harris. After twice being on the ropes, several times very groggy, the Nats have always rallled and refused to take the count. Without a doubt Washington has provided the big thrill of tne Amer- fcan League race. For that the fans everywhere are thankful, + BAZERA'L TUESDAY'S GAMES, National League.

By Billy Evans Questions, x « There are runners on first and one out. Batsman hits which the umpire immedi an infleld fly. There is a the right fielder, rolling to the ex- treme commer of the field. The two man, cross the plate before the ball is returned to the infield. Is the bats- man credited with a home run and what is the final score of the game? --D. D. K. Answers, 1. It is impossible to rule infield fly on a foul ball, as was the case due to the high wind blowing over the field. The umpire, who first called the hit infield fly, must reverse him- self and simply declare it a foul ball. 2. If in the opinion of the umpire men on the bases, as well as the bats- | the baserunner has tied the play, he rules him safe. 3. The batsman is not entitled to a home run. The game ends when the runner on first crosses the plate, the final score being 3 to 2. The batsman gets credit for a triple, hav- ing advanced the winning run that many bases on his drive. If the ball had been batted out of the vlaying field, over the fence or into the stands, the batter would have been credited with a home run and the * EEE a TREN Wise Counsellor, won.
