BoSox Take Advantage Of Nats' Losing Ways New York, Aug. 22 U.B You couldn't blame the forlorn Wash ington baseball fan for his attitude of "nats? nertz!" today as Clark Griffith's grouping ghouls groaned into the American league cellar. ! Here Is a team which has made a fine art of losing. It loses so much, in fact, that it has be ime In a lett-nanaea way a factor in the pennant race. The Boston Red Sox have beaten the Senators 14 games, and have five more to play against them this year. Thus the Sox may ride to the pennant astride this bumbling beast of burden By losing to the Red Sox, 4 to 0 yesterday the Senators dropped their 11th straight, equalling a previous 1949 high off 11 losses but still somewhat hort of last year's 18 In a row er the modern major league record of 20. But don't give p on the Nats. They may set a record yet. Since July 4" they have lost 41 of their last 47 games. Last season, when the Nats were working on that 18-defeat string, pitcher Walt Masterson quipped, "well, no matter how many we lose, we won't go to last place. There's always the Browns." But yesterday not even the Browns eould give the Sen ators a wisp of hope. They apllt a donbleheader with De troit winning the first, 4 to t, and losing the second, 8 to 7 to climb out of the cellar by three percentage points, mak ing room for Washington. The Browns had been down there for 113 straight days. The Senators bowed yester- Say to the seven-hit pitching of (Jack Kramer. It was his second ihutout and fourth victory of the season and, coupled with an 8 to 7 game the New York Yank ees lost to Philadelphia, edged the Sox to two and a half games from first place. Tho Chicago White Sox chased Bob Feller in the first inning for an eventual 5 to 4 first game victory over the Cleveland Indians. However, Larry Doby's three-run homer in the six-run fifth inning gave the Indians a 7 to 4 win in the nightcap for a split. ... mMwcXXi k Just the boat for Astoria Derby, exceptionally seaworthy 16 -ft. semi-cabin cruiser.

Tigers Sweep Solon Series The Taconia Tigers packed up their duds and left town for good around midnight Sunday and their departure caused no tears to be shed around these parts. For the last place Tigers downed the Senators twice Sunday eve ning, 7-5 and 7-2 to make a clean sweep of the four game series. Manager Bill Beard and his Solons shoved off for Spokane following the nightcap for a quick trip to the Inland Empire. They will return Thursday to duel with Wenatchee over the four game route before winding up against Yakima. The pattern of Sunday night's encounter were fairly identical in titat the Tigers were spotted first inning bulg es in both instances. They got to Jim Olsen for five runs in the opening stanza of the first game and while the Solons had evened the count by the end of the fourth it was the Tigers who broke the deadlock as the contest went an extra inning. So big Jim suffered his 11th loss as compared with 10 wins. Cal Mclrvin was the victim of the attack in the nightcap as he was reached for three runs in the first. The red headed southpaw gave way to Stu Fredericks aft er seven innings but the change did not bolster the Solons' for tunes although they did break through for two runs off Don Carter in the ninth to bust up that gentleman's chance for a shutout. It wasn't Dick Greco who ruined the Senators in their Sabbath day program, for that powerful sticker was held to one blow in four times up. However, Eddie Barr, much improved center fielder, did his share of clouting as he came through with a six for nine performance for the eve ning, driving in four runs. After giving up four hits, in cluding a triple by A' Cohen and Glenn Stetter's double, Olsen settled down to dish up a row of gooseeggs until the eighth. In that frame he retired Greco on an easy ,grounder only to have Barr poke a single into left. A bad throw by Art Pennington on Catcher Sheet's roller put two men on base and Manager Bill Johnson, inserting himself in the Maior Standings NATIONAL LEAGUE W L Pet.

'Don't worry," replied Al Schacht, as the old A's prepared to play two exhibition innings against former Yankee stars, 'pitch 'em low and they won't be able to see over their stomachs." The old timers stood around the batting cage, watching with a wistful yearning as the current day Yanks and A's took their cuts. Every once in a while one of the oldsters would slip in and take a few swings. And the old timers set a bellow when Baker, who used to knock them out of the park, hit one out of the in field. Then the public address sys tem called them to home plate, one by one, and they walked erectly from the dugout under Mack s watchful eyes. Most of them lifted their hats only momentarily at the applause. clamping the caps on again quickly to hide the baldness or the white frosted hair. And then, as they stood thero in a waiting "V at the plate, they called for Connie. He stood there a moment, gnarled hands twisting a score card. He looked down a moment, ironing the quiver from thin lips, and then climbed the dug out steps with his amazing agil ity and strode toward the wait ing players with that quick, age less walk. They gave him a lot of gifts then. There was a huge silver tray from the town of Meridan, Conn., where Connie started playing ball In 1884; a silver loving cup from the citizens of Wilmington, Del.; a watch from the City of Philadelphia, and a plaque from the Yankees. Connie thanked them then, in a voice which trembled at times, and not from age. And he told them that even at 86 there was no thought of retirement in his mind. "It is my great desire to give Philadelphia a team they will be proud of," he said in part. And I hope to do it in tho next few years." Over in the Athletics dugout, big Lou Brissie, who was to pitch against the Yanks, pound ed his glove and muttered: "I d sure like to win this ono for the old man." Then he went out and did it. As Connie remarked: "It was a great day for met" George Metkovich, White Sox outfielder, made three errors in one inning while playing first base for the Red Sox in 194S.
