CENTRAL s FORM
D|SAPPO|NTS FANS
Dark Blue and White Team
Fails to Show Wonted
Style.
STANDING OF TIE TEAATs

Nobody seemed greatly excited when
Central beat Western in the game at
National Park yesterday by Il 10 3, but
there was ripple of general surprise
when for 1--WE innings the lamentably
weak rcd and white aggregation stuck
close on TO the heels of the much-touted
o street outfit, and on more than one
occasion seriously threatened to take
the long end of the score.
The form Of the Central team in the
game yesterday is a current topic at all
OF the local high schools this morning.
While the dark blue and white team
won the gafoe, and won il by a comfort
evident that characterizes real aggres-
sive baseball nine. AT times the team
displays flashes which shcw that some
body is behind 1t, and re-. lly trying to
inStill some inside baseball but these at
tempts are so crude and 81 Jrt-lived that
IL seems only the fault OF the players
themselves that the real qualities OF the
team have not as yet been shown IN It's
two high school games.
Central is weak in the pitching de-
partment. Neither Boteler nor Bulioch
come up to the high school standard,
and in a great measure this Is responsl-
bic for the teams 2 'or showing. In
both games played SO far the team has
stuck steadfastly to the pitchers, and
has likewise ascended with them. The
real strength OF the Central team is in
is second to none of the scholastic mines
in fielding. The one big fault and the
one wffich must be rectified before the
team is success is that OF placing too
much dependence In the pitchers.
Western Surprise.
In direct contrast to the disappoi1t-
ment offered by the Central team,
Westerns performance was surprising
and with the exception OF thS closing
innings the team played better bill than
II did In the Eastern game. A feature of
the game was the manner in which the
Western youngsters came to the plate.
They stood like veterans and usually
when they connected ii was for good
solid drives over the infield. Eight hts
was the total secured by the red and
white team.
This afternoon at 5 o'clock Technical
meets Eastern at National park. Both
teams rely mainly upon their twirlers,
Gray and Whitney. and there should be
something doing when this pair oppose
each other.

SCHEDULE BY BURKE
FOR DAILY TRAINING
Run Naturally, Breathe Naturally, Gauge Your Speed,
and Have Proper Clothing. Is Insisted Upon
by Marathon Authority.
Letters to Marathon RunnerS---No. 3

j. Is somewhat difficult 10 determine
just what work 20 advise an athlete 10
do until you have learned something
about each individual case.
From the talks 1 have had with the
young men who contemplate entering
the Intercity Marathon. June Il, it IS
evident that many have been training
for the race for much longer period
than others. Some have been working
on the roads but a few days. 1t g
well TO remember that the race is but
a month away, and those who have
just started to train will have to hustle.
The following schedule is given on the
basis that an athlete has been training
for at least two weeks, which win leave
over four weeks before the race. AS a
runner continues TO condition himself
he may increase the distances that he
viii run or walk. In training for a
race of twenty miles it is not necessary
10 run the entire distance. For the
average athlete fifteen miles is far
enough. although seventeen miles might
be covered at a slow gait The sched-
ule for one who has been training two
weeks should be as follows:
Each Days Work.
On Monday take a run Of, FIVE miles
at a moderate pace. Thirty-two min
utes would be good enough time. A
walk of eight or nine miles should be
taken Tuesday, and Wednesday a run
of eight miles, in about hfty-two min
utes would be the proper work. Thurs
day a brisk walk OF five miles. followed
by a two-mile run at a fairly fast gait,
would be beneficial The runner should
ease up in his work Friday and a slow
run OF four miles would be sufficient.
Figuring on Sunday as day Of rest.
a fast eight miles should be run Sat
urday. 1t would not be too much to
ask a man 70 do this close to fifty-one
minutes.
The knowledge OF pace. or knowing
just how fast you are running is one
OF the greatest essentials of Marathon
races. To obtain the best results along
these lines, ascertain just what is an
actual mile. either on the road or on
a track. and see how near you come

BOSTON, May 12.-Bin NIcKinnon, the

After twelve rounds OF the hottest sort

Take heart.

Getting George Browne from the
Cubs, as is reported to be Canullon's
intention, may or may not be worth the
money. II would only be a desperate
expedient at best, for Browne is a weak
brother with the stick, batting some
where around .228, which viii hardly
cause any undue exulting over the
strengthening of the hitting. He Is fast
in the field and on the bases, but we
have a number of other men in the
same boat, who are also failures with
the wagon tongue so far this season,
and Browne does not look to be the

Chevy Chase links this afternoon

Let's change the subject. We saw
Young Corbett beat Harry Scroggs in
fifteen rounds i3 Baltimore last night.
Corbett has not come hack as much as
the enthusiastic New York papers
would have you believe, and the talk
about him going after the lightweight
title again is a ,lutely bull con- In
the first place, a could not make the
lightweight limit without the aid OF
typhoid fever or some other wasting
last night and Corbett refused to weigh
at all. he must have been somewhere
between 150 and $50 pounds, or even
that officially recorded on the scales.
for Il would have hurt the advertising
he has been receiving as a lightweight
scrapper. In the second place, Corbett
cannot hat as hard now as he could
when Kid Sullivan knocked him out a
year or so ago. He has the quickest
free swing In the business, but IL lacks
the force II had, end he should have
put Scrnggs away half a dozen times
At inftghtfng he is still a wonder, and
can deliver as hard a punch in q
clinch as. many lightweights can when
they loop one through an opening with
all their might He hammered Scroggs
70 pulp with those inside jolts.
Jack PoweIls feat in letting the Ath-
letics down. with two hits has set the
St. Louis fans crazy. They think il
the beginning of the upward march.
While Corbett is neither a lightweight
nor terror nowadays, he really has
come back to a surprising extent He
went through fifteen rounds last night
in which he forced the fighting, and in
two rounds was nearly put TO sleep.
without showing half as many signs OF
exhaustion as might have been ex-
pected. Instead, he was full of battle
up to the last minute SIX seconds be-
fore the bell rang to terminate the
scrap he caught Scroggs going away
with ono Of his vicious and lightning
like left swings flush on the jaw, and
Scroggs went to the mat He might
have arisen at the count of ten, but
would have been helpless. and Corbett
would have finished him. Scroggs IS
not hard man TO stop OF knock cut,
and the best evidence OF Corbett's true
condition was the fact he caught Harry
on the Jaw half a dozen times earlier
in the contention and failed to send
him to the floor.

STRANGE FATALITY
BATTLING TO FANS
Why Did Washington Pitchers Fail MserabIy on Day
Team Hit Well ?-Corbett Improved, but
Lacks the Punch.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Doesn't It beat all how business
keeps up?
Here the Washington ball team max es
three runs against Chicago yesterday,
more than it has scored for q coon's
age, and that is the very day for the
Washington pitchers to make the worst
showing since the season opened Can
you beat Il? That is one Of the most
familiar condolences you meet in fol-
lowing the fortunes of a losing ball
team, and is one OF the most mex
plicaDle features of q pennant race.
The high-brows. mathematisians, and
deep thinkers generally write most
convincingly that there is no such
thing as luck in this world When you
read their arguments understanding
you are brought around to their way
of thinking, until you recall the actual
experiences of daily Life. Then you
realize that "luck' is an actual and
potent factor In the career of every
human being. and that some folks are
born without IT. The Washington ball
team would be ample proof for any
mathematician that there is such
thing as bad luck
Much obliged to New York for letting
Detroit win by 16 to s. It took some
of the sting out of Washington's recent
performances.
That Burns, Groom, and Gray should
all 90 crazy in the same game, give
eleven passes, and hit three men in the
aggregate is nothing less than remark
able. All three of these pitchers have
a habit Of being wild occasionally, but
ordinarily they are Well-behaved and
sedate slabmen- 1t was just a. other
coincidence they should bunch their
fool doinSs on the same day, anl that
day when Washington had at last
run across a pitcher II could hit with
some effect The fielding behind this
weird exhibition of twirling was per
feet, and merited a much better fate.
but Fate likes to kick those who are
down, and Washington is at last down
at the bottom of the American League,
where IL viii probably remain unless
the heavens fall and squash all the
clubs TO the saDcS level.
