Washington dropped an low ut 660 in percentage in the mnnth of Jsljs ? and-, the Yankee* ?n nounccd that 'Washington was a false alarm, its pitchers ' having blown, and that the real team the Yankees had to thrash wa.i Detroit.

Just recently the' Senators have been vacillating around 570. In July they were as good as 594. their nearest ap proach to 604 in thin superheated race of the American League, They did noL hold the pare but they are marching back to it again.

It sh<iws that the Washlngton'H are not accidental, that they have recuperative pow er, and that they will be a dan gerous lot right down to the fin ish. if they do not m j_M with acci dent.

The Sox. of course, are tall ending every now and then and they need a powerful lot of looking over for another year. nang around the cellar of the circuit, they are not an easy team to defeat as baseball teams are traveling this year. The Senators are almost cer tain to defeat the Athletics in the serieH with them, but they can not <tofoat St. Louis. because the Browns have that scries won. St. Louis, has won the series of thuj year from Detroit. The Drowns can win the year'B series ftom J*ew York because they have put away ten games of it already. They need another to tie and two to win. ?_Xh?n what a record they would have, If Washington should win the pennant, or It would fall to (New York. The Drowns would finish the season with the series won from Washington. New York and Detroit, tho three groat teams of the inerlcan League, and yet would be unable to win tho championship because beaten to a -frazzel by -Chicago and held tootle hy Philadelphia. The big achievement of the Washington's for the year has been their strength in putting New York down. They have got the Yank? cleaned uj> by a long ?hot, but they have dealt .thorn * blow that will not bo forgotten In New York for many a day, be ea wee there h an been a trewew* dOus lot of deelro to win the fotfrth successive championship In the big city by Colonel Ru pert, on account of the prohabiN Hy that it will ro to the GiuntH In the National league.

Seyffcrt has developed rapidly since the llrst match with Hertford and gave fans who had not seen him j play recently a distinct surprise in the class he showed. The tournament began, accord ing to schedule, in the morning; but the Hertford-Eden ton serif*, lasted until 2 o'clock In the after noon Instead of being completed at 1 o'clock, and darkness cu* nhort the rinal match of the tour- ' ney before the completion of the second set. It was indeed an all day affair. The first upset^of the day cam.* in the morolni, when Hollowell, Edenton star, went down In de- J t fimwhf of Hertford. Hollowell to the flrnt aet east ly. but In the second his pace slackened and the set went to deuce. tNewby finally winning. At the opening of the third set. Hol lowell again showed a burst o? speed in the flr?t game; but in the terriffic htat ho could noi hold the pace and Newby qutcklv ansumed the offensive.

Following the even split In thf* singles, Fleetwood and HusBey playing for Hertford, quickly dis posed of Hallo well and Dail. play-, ljig for Edenton. The score was te -3, fi-3. . .... | After dinner Hortford had it soft again when Vewby, winner against Hollowell In the morning, w&s matched again Pecle in sin gles, winning easily in the first straight love seta of the scries. 6-0. 6-0. Peele, who played Hod ge s tp _ a draw In Lho last | matrh wilh -llrrliord-on the IntTrt courts and who might have stood a chance against Elliott, knew he was outclassed hat worked hard, to save himself being beaten by, love sets. Several times in each . set he wai within a point of a game, but never Had the reserve j strength to put over the winning stroke at the eriticul moment. Meantime Sheely of Elizabeth City had defeated Williford of , Hertford 7-5. 6-1. Williford would probably have defeated any other Elizabeth City player In sin- 1 gles. with the exception of young Seyffert, rising star who promises to bu a feal contender for the Elizabeth City championship soon; but In Sheely, Williford met Elizabeth City'" best. Hertford and Elizabeth City"' then joined issue in doubles, with Wood ley and Stowe opposing Hus soy and Fleetwood. The visitors captured the first set after a gruelling hatita which took most of the fight out of the home town team, both crack players but. neltlier'member of which has don* any consistent practicing since sprinc. I'nseasoned. they wilted under the terrific heat and Wood-) ley was compelled to drop out in the middle of the second set. with 1 Hertford leading 3-1. 8towe wanted to stick It out. however, and with Hjytifordls consent Peele took Wood ley's place, and the s$l was concluded 6-2, Hertford win ning by lack of coherent opposi tion rather than- by brilliant play ing. as the Hertford players were only a little less all in than Stowe R.
