National Athletic Club last night be-

Knockout blow was delivered The blow
was low, but above the belt. and Young

BOSTON, April 1S.-Boston took the

Glaze was very wild, Issuing six free

PITCHER SMITH
IN GOOD FORM
AFTER A REST
Should Be One of Wash
ington'S Best Slabmen
This Year.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Although Washington lost to Boston
yesterday by 70 ], the game showed
one good thing, and that was that
Charley Smith seems TO be as good this
year as he was last. and last year he
was better in percentage than his club.
Smith did little or no twirling while
the team was practicing and playing ex-
hibitiOn games His arm got out OF
gear down in Galveston and had not
rounded into shape up 20 the time the
squad returned to Washington a week
ago today. lie was willing enough to
pitch, bat Cantillon would take no
chances and kept him out Of the box eX-
cept on one or two occasions, when
he was allowed to heave the sphere for
only a few innings.
Smith is such a big strong fellow that
he inspires confidence when he goes in
the box. There is no doubt but that
the fans have more confidence in and
respect for a big ball player than they
have for a little one, and big man
can get by after making q bad showing
much more successfully than his smaller
brother. Smith has all the earmar<s
Of a successful twirler. and should full
ill the predictions made last season that
this year he will be his best since he
entered baseball.

CantiIlon is a firm believer in the
efficacy OF changing his lineup at
critical moments in order to increase
bis batting strength, and he has been
highly successful in this respect in the
past. He put Hickman up IN the ninth
inning yesterday for Jones, and Hick
made the one run for Washington Mil
took Up the burden for HeydOn in the
same inning and also got q hit That
was better than nothing, even If War
ner. who was also rushed into the
breach as an emergency swatter, failed
70 connect safely and retired the side.
Cantillou tells a story Of one time
when he was managing the Milwaukee
team In the last inning with the score
tied he came to the conclusion that as
none Of his outfielders, although they
were clever stiekers, had been batting
In that game they were not likely 70
come 20 life at the very end, 50 he sent
in three pitchers to bat for them!
Strangely enough two of the three
twirlers made hits, just as Hickman and
Mil did yesterday, and the third one
retired the side, just as Warner did

Eiberfeld was put out of the game
here on the opening day for disputing

although Connolly sent Johnson a long
letter and telegram, giving his side Of
the case, the New York player does not
appear TO have been suspended, as he
was in the game yesterday
Manager Jones and George Davis. OF
the Chicago White SOX, were bounced
from the game in Detroit yesterday for
sassing the jumps, and Davis is also ac-
cused of throwing q ball at Umpire Stat
ford. Johnson is anxious to plug the
game for the New York Americans. and
las a deadly feud with COmiskey, OF
the White Sox. who refused TO allow
him 20 run his club. It win be inter
esting TO see how Johnson viii handle

Verdict Of Guilty Against Burke

Considerable interest was manifested
in the case of A. l.. Burke, charged
with assault and battery ON the child Of
r. f.. Bray of Jensen, which came up be-
fore Judge Fee Monday The testi-
mony of the child and of her parents
was uncontradictcd, and according to
the evidence, the law and the charge
of the court, the jury could do nothing
but find Burke guilty as charged, al
though the charge should have been
more severe.
The details of this case are disgusting
in the extreme, and it is the general
opinion that had the public been con-
yinced that the alleged crime had been
really committed, Burke would have
been biected to far different trial,
and before court from which there is
no appeal.
Attorney A. ID. Penney conducted
the prosecution and Judged. K. Parker
the defense. The jury was composed
of J. G.. Coats, II. Whyte, +. j. Raul
orson W. l.. l.ambe, N. }. Trowel
and j. s, Bell.
Burke was sentenced to six months
in the chain gang.
