Clash in Philadelphia.
Plank a Grab" +"

PHILADELPHIA, May 6.-Joe Can
tillon and his Nationals viii try to
take another fan out Of Connie Mack S
Athletics this afternoon. The game
between the two teams yesterday was
rather dull and uninteresting.
The weather today is ideal for base
ball. In fact, it is the first good day
Philadelphia has had since the opening
Of the season.
Umpire Egan came in for a delightful
roasting at the hands of some OF the
local writer's for his work with the
Indicator yesterday. The Washington
players, however, say that Egan UNI
pired a good game. With Eddie Plank
'-the crab on the hinging mound, any
umpire will he made to look bad The
former college boy wants everything
that goes anywhere near the plate and
his continual protests to the umpire
make the arbitrator look bad. Plank
was especially crabby yesterday and
made life miserable for Esgan. The
wonder is that Egan did not chase him
to the CLUB house.
This is the kind Of a day that is to
the liking % Big Chief Bender's Indian
blood, and he viii do the finging for
the AthletiVs this afternoon, with the
former Tigel Ira Thomas, on the other
end. CantillOn has selected Long Tom
Hughes to do the pitching for Wash

Big Surprise to Leagues
Followers.
Eastern, 2; Western, 3.

Eastern, y; Western, 3.
Fan.ing sixteen and allowing but two
hits, Captain Bob Whitney pitched the
Eastern High School team to a notable
victory over the Western outfit in the
second game of the High School series
yesterday, and the form displayed by
the Capitol Hill aggregation is today
the current topic among the high school
dopesters who have heretofore failed to
consider the Light Blue and White team
as championship possibility.
1t was a contest between Western and
Whitney, and the score fails to show
just how much the hefty Eastern
pitcher outclassed the Western team. 1t
was a great game for the Capitol
Killers and sad day for the losers.
Many doped the game a contest for
ownership Of last place. but Eastern
not only trounced the westerners de-
cisively but greatly muddled these opin-
ions.
Knowing that the entire chances of
the Fasteners laid in the work Of its
pitcher, Coach woodward had centered
all the play about the captain, and
while Whitney cannot be given too
much praise for the manner in which he
handled his opponents. the impressive
style of the team behind him is worthy
of mention. Leland, Martin, and Parker
all acquitted themselves in creditable
shape. Contrary to expectations the
Eastern team, while weak with the
stick, was very aggressive in the field,
the infield in particular playing fast
snapDy game.
Upton: youngster, made his debut to
nigh school baseball as pitcher of the
western team, and considering the SUD-
port which he received pitched a re-
markable game. For nine innings the
diminuttve twirler faced the Eastern
oatters and no matter how ragged his
support or how hard the opponents hit
ne never once stopped pitching. a fact
which never fails to impress those who
follow the scholastic games The little
fellow showed worlds of nerve and while
his arm is not yet developed he should
IN several seasons make one OF the best
pitchers in the league.
Weakness at the bat was directly re-
sponsi ole for the red and white team
defeat. Guy and L Howard being the

Yesterday. Both fielded faultlessly and
hit like fiends. Handy got two and
Mac four.
Taken altogether, the performance OF
the Brentwood team yesterday was a

many hits as the winners, but failed TO
take advantage of many opportunities
which might have landed il the game.

the game any more than our robust

surprised with the manner in which the

and Kerr, who were in the box for

eleven hits being registered for the

yesterday, it looks very probable that
