and this goes whether he remains on the
roster of the Tigers. goes to some other
American or National League club. or
even has to take a trip into the minors.
Claude regards the initial station as one
for which he is not fitted on account of
his failure to throw accurately in the
quick, decisive manner necessary at
times.
I've had two years of experience in
the outfield in the minor leagues and
only accident made me a first baseman.

BATT|NG-F|ELO|NG
OF THE NATIONALS
Conroy Leads Regulars With
Stick, With Donohue
Second.

The figures contained in the tables here
TO appended give a complete, concise and
accurate description of the work OF all
the PLAYERS of the Nationals team OF
l..n from the commencement of the cham
p.onship race for the pennant of the
American League as compiled from the
official scores which appear in The Star
from day TO day. up to Sunday, May ~.
and they show that the season so far has
been Very disastrous TO the home team,
which has lust returned from its first
western trip around the circuit. playing
fwcnty-three games with the other seven
teams composing the league, winning six
and losing fifteen. and a tie game with
Chicago of seventeen innings. and to date
they have played thrty-four games, win
ming nine and losing twenty-four. and OF
the defeats nine games We're lost by the
small margin of one run, and there is no
doubt but a majority Of them might have
been turned into victories had a base hit
been made or long sacrifice fly been
forthcoming when hatsman was on sec
ond or third base. but it appears that the
heavy htterS Of the team were not equal
10 the emergency.
Charley Smith. a pitcher leads the team
in batting with a percentage of .2IS, al
though Conroy is the actual leader with
only m followed by Donohue with 30
and Browne with .23l-not much for win
ming games. Milan and Delehanty have
improved in their StickWork during the
past week. the former gaining n,S and the
latter .oiu and if they can keep it up
will soon be in the 800 class. Unglaub
and Donohue are tied for first honors with
leo, neither one having made an error
al the first corner, though Cnglaub has
accepted tWenty-sN more chances than
DonOhue and was in one game more.
Browne. Conroy, Milan and Mcbride are
doing excellent work, and Street is get
ting better every game lie works, and the
way he whips the ball to second is death
TO layers who attempt to steal second
Conroy leads the team in total bases with
thirty-nine, followed by Delehanty with
thirty-five. Delehanty made the first
home-run swat of the season in the last
game with Detroit. Street and Delehanty
tied with six sacrifice hits each for
first place, while Clymer continues to be
leader at pilfering bases, with seven to his
credit, followed by Conroy with five Del |
ehanty and Mcbride are the leaders in
making double plays, having been in four
teen and thirteen. respectively. The team
as a whole has made twenty-nine double |
plays TO its opponents seventeen which |
is very creditable showing Johnson. |
Smith. Gray and Groom appear to have |
struck their stride, and if they will only |
bat behind them when they are in the |
center of the diamond they will win a
ma jority of their games, but they cannot
win the game by themselves.
The figures give a better idea of the
Nationals work:

the Nationals on the western trip. In
every city. except Cleveland. the crowds
were roofing continually for the Ma
tionals to win and in Chicago the fav-
oritism was so marked as to call for COM
ment from the players of the White Sox.
From a business point, the Washing
tons had a splendid trip and outdrew
every other eastern club. This can be
accounted for through the fact that the
crowds thought the home teams would
win and, like all other fans victories
are what they are looking for.
Mr.. Fowler is personal friend Of
George Browne and says he is response
BILE for the Washington boy joining the
Nationals. He met Browne in Chicago
and, ascertainng that he was not wanted
BY Manager Chance, he went to Manager
Cantillon and urged that the speedy left
fielder be signed. Mr. Fowler brought
Joe and George together and after a little
confab all arrangements for the transfer
were completed.
AS to Brownies worth. Manager Cantil-
lon rema rked this morning that he wished
he had half dozen Brownies on his team
and he would win the championship.
Manager Cantillon was certainly a very
sore man Saturday night and yesterday.
He didn't mind the loss of the game so
much as that bad luck should stick to him
so persistently.
CLYDE Milan has muffed a fly this
season." said CantillCn, but it was just
our luck that he should pull off the trick
Evening star., 1909-05-31

at a moment when it would do the oppos-
ing club the most good.
Then. on top of it. Milan gets fiustered
over what he has done and plays stupid
ball in the final inning. at another point
where there was still chance of a hit
tying up the game.
Clyde won't make two more plays like
that in his lifetime, but it shows how
important luck is in base ball.
Il am confident we must be getting
an even break in lucky plays pretty soon,
and when we do look cut for us, beca use
we are going the limit with the throttle
wide open.
Nothing had been heard from Detroit
regarding the sale and purchase of Claude
RoSsman up to the noon hour, but i'm
portant developments are liable to crop
up at any time The Washington fans
can depend upon one thing. and that is
if Rossman is let out by the Tigers he
will come to Cantillon.
Outfieder Cravath. who came to Wash
ington in the exchange for Pitcher Burns
will probably go back to the Pacific coast,
from where he graduated two years ago.
He was big success out there, but the
American League twirlers soon got his
number and he failed to deliver the goods
with the bat-his strong forte. Boston had
Crayath last year and he did well until
he hurt his ankle and taken out of
the game for over a month. The lay-off
put him on the toboggan and last winter

a. ~ o'clock and both teams had a hall

&c the first New York player was going
to the bat. it started raining again ana
.fter waiting twenty minutes Umpire
CONNOLLY called off the battle. 1t VIII be
.,,ad tho next time the New Workers
come here.
CHARLEY Smith was down to pitch, and
as he had not worked since his Detroit
game the chances are that he "ou,u
have given a good account of himself. II
the clouds break Charley will go IN lh's
afternoon.
Brockett who finished the last inning
Saturday. was carded to do the tWiriing
for the Yankees and he will work thls
afternoon.
President Farrell of the New Yorks ar
rived in washington oh1 TINS moI.hs 'omorl au
row. The work of the Yankees on their
western trip has woke up the New York
ers and everybody in Gotham now pc
lieves that Manager Stallings mas a
the American League race for the pen
nant.
..The Yankees have surprised everybody
bv their good work. said Mr. Farrell at
the park this morning, "and it would be
a glorious season for New York If the
bows continue their great work. / think
7 struck the right combination when l
secured Stallings to manage for me, as
the players all respect him and are work
ing in splendid harmony and enthusiasm.
I'VE have been very unfortunate on
Decoration day. as we lost last years
game on account of rain, and today's
drizzle looks like a repeat performance"
Umpire Tommy Connolly was with the
Nationals in almost all their games In the
west. and he has nothing but praise for
the boys.
Game after game was lost by the
Washingtons for the want of a solitary
hit 1t seemed impossible for the boys
to get the ball safe when needed but
the bingles would come with no one on
the bases. In fielding they did better
than their opponents. but you know de-
fensive work won't win games"
Business Manager Fowler says il was
really remarkable the favortism shown
Evening star., 1909-05-31
BASE BALL NOTES.

The Boston Nationals, it is said, are
casting longing eyes on Sides. the Prince
ton third baseman.
Ray Demmitt is doing some hitting for
the Highlanders since he took keelers
place in right field.
The archaic Jake Beckley is batting $40
in the American Association and is a
better first baseman now than some to be
found in the big leagues.
Hicks of Harvard is hiding his light
under a bushel on a college nine. Two
no-hit games in one season is likely to
make him a target for the eyes of pro-
fessional managers.
The printed summary of recent college
game contains the record of a double play
from the pitcher to the left fielder. De-
tails of how II was done would be inter-
esting.
Honus Wagner made a single and
double. stole base and had three put
out and five assists last Saturday. Presi-
dent Taft was there. and bet the
Dutchman just did that to show off.
Tom Hughes of Washington complains
that sometimes his control is so good
that he puts them straight over and cant
work the corners. 1t would seem that in
that case his control wasn't good.
According to President Murphy of the
Cubs. the last New York-Chicago series
in New York drew more people than any
previous four-game series between the
two in New York in the history of the
National League.
Pitcher Mullins record of consecutive
victories is as follows: April IA. beat Chi

Georgetown will meet Fordham at Ford
ham Field this afternoon. and the game
will decide the championship of Catholic
colleges, 1t will b. the last home game
for the Bronxonlans, and will mark also
the farewell appearance on the local
campus Of Capt coffey and Pitcher Egan.
Both of these stars have promised 10 join
National League clubs at the close of the
season. Coffey going to Boston and Egan
TO Cincinnati-New York Sun.
Doc White is making good in the out
field for the Sox. Quite a few pitchers
could do the same if they only tried.
Tom Easterly, the Los Angeles catcher,
is doing more work for Cleveland nova
days than Mig Clarke. He Is surely
peachy hitter.
Goode is beginning to bat up to the ad-
vance notices. 1t is pretty near time.
Warhop has certainly made good this
spring. He has worked neatly and with
excellent success, and nerve is his long
suit.

fans" and the chances are that tre-
mendous crowd will be on hand to see the
sport.
Messrs. Donohue and Altrock were high
ly pleased over their reception Saturday
afternoon by the local fans.
Il always knew the Washington crowd
was with me even when | was doing my
best for the Sox,' said Donohue last
night, but I never imagined they wanted
me here. All during the game Saturday
persons in the rght-field seats were yell
ing at me. and it certainly made me feel
good.
The fans won't have to worry over
our team much longer. We have got the
PLAYERS and luck will be coming our way
before long,"
Nick Atrock was also pleased and said
they would be the happiest days of his
life when he could cop several games
for his old side partner, Cantillon.
Evening star., 1909-05-31

he was sold to the Chicago White Sox.
He started off this spring like whirl-
wind, but soon settled down to his hoo
doo'' stride of whiting the air
There is talk of Cravatf going into the
American Association. and If ne does ne
should make good, the pitchers there
lack class, and they have to be top
notchers to fool the big fellow.
Reports from the west to the effect that
Claude Rossman had been bought from
Detroit by the st. Louis Browns are not
true. as Manager Cantillon has the direct
assurance from the owner of the Tigers
that Washington will be given the first
chance to purchase the husky first base
man. Rossman is another player VINO
was with Cantillon in his earlier days:
playing in the outfield for the local
manager when he had charge of the Des
MOineS team
.Rossman played with me in Des
Moines'' said Cantillon last night, and
I was the first manager to give him a
chance at first base account of my
regular man for that position being sick.
But Rossman belongs in the ontfield, and
if Detroit decides TO let him out he will
wear a Washington uniform.
Il happened to be In Detroit when
waivers were asked on Rossman, and
President Navin assured me that hS
would sooner see the player signed with
Washington than any other club. l had
no players tnat i couid give up that
Jennings, wanted SO it will be a cash
consideration.
..Rossman is a known quantity with the
stick and just the man to help us along
with his hard batting. 1 had a long
talk with him before leaving Detroit and
he said he would be tickled to death to
locate at the National Capital. He is
dissatisfied with Detroit and wants to
get away so that his usefulness with the
Tigers is thing of the past"

for the first double-header of the season
