SPORTING COMMENT.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

While it is perhaps true that Jeffries
has surrounded himself with a lot of
veterans to help him in his training,
from one standpoint at least he will
|haye an advantage over Johnson in that
his helpers are all men of long expert
ence and can at least iInpart good suG-
gestions.
The fact of the matter is that Johnson
will not have any particularly great
handlers in his camp. either. The fell
lows he will have to help train him are
mostly unknown, so that if there is a
lot in having the right kind of sparrng
partners there is little to choose between
the men in both camps.
1t is, in fact, questionable whether it
is necessary to have any extraordinary
men to help fighter get in condition.
The argument that Jeffries ought to have
a lot of husky youngsters to trim every
day does not hold good. What Jeffries
wants to acquire is lot OF speed, and
he can do this with clever boxers as
his opponents. Boxing with strong men
who lack science will not improve him.
and this, no doubt, is what he inquired
on when he selected his trainers.
During the last month OF his training
Jeffries will have Corbett to assist him,
and as Corbett has been In training TOT
several weeks he will report at the camp
int to put up stiff argument. Being one
lof the cleverest boxers Corbett should be
LOT more assistance to Jeffries than some
inexperienced though husky young fellow.
Records would probably show that

1t is the pitcher who has something in

YANKEES GET REVENGE.
NATIONALS DEFEATED IN
FINAL GAME OF SERIES.
Speedy Fielding Squelches Rallies by
Washington at Critical Moments.
Crooks and Conroy in Game.

NEW YORK, May 5.-rhe Yankees
were in a convalescent mood yesterday
after the relapse of the day before, and
| they played ball in such lusty fashion
that the Senatorial tribe finished the
series with the memory of that one in
ming when they annihilated Joe" Doyle.
The Yanks started off with a rush and
they never lost their speed. And talking
of speed there was whole quar-
ter hour cut off the time that
1t took to play the faster of the previous
games. While the HiIltoppers took a
| lead Of two runs right off the reel as a
working basis. there were enough tight
squeezes to make the game an interesting
one all the way through. and there was
many sigh of relief when Lelivelt struck
out in the ninth inning and left the tally
! at to = in the local mines favor.
Jack Quinn did the twirling for the
Highlanders. and that he was ably as
sisted by the team behind him is shown
in the fact that ten Senators were left on
| base. Oberin was in the box for the
weak spots. In fact. he allowed the
Yankees one less hit than the Senators
made off Quinn, but the Yankees snappy
squelched his hopes for a credit in the
winning column.
Oberhn made bad mistake at the out
set by passing Hemphill. whereupon
Wolter advanced him a base OH Sacri-
flee. Hal Chase was the man OF the
moment. with a vicious drive to center
that went through Miian's legs, while
Hemp scampered home. The Yankee
captain tailed later ON by some good
base running, when Obsrlin juggied La
porte's bouncing grOunder. A wild pitch
nearly caused more damage, for LaporIe
reached third on the mispiay, but there
it ended, as Roach struck out.
The next Yankee tally came in the
third, when Woiter drew a pass anu was
brought home eventually by Laporte
bouncing one off Wild" Conroy's snins.
The final Yank tally started like the other

LEAGUE LEADERS TODAY
Athletics Figure on Taking All -Four Games
From McAleer's Men Utility
Men Break Into Lineup.

Schaefer hit Il long line drive to right
center which looked good for three bases.
Hemphill after a long run pulled the
drive down and the base runners had to
hustle back to their bases to prevent d
double play.
Lajoie is hitting the ball harder this
spring than he has in several years. and
the prediction is made by the western ex-
perts that the big Frenchman will lead
the league this year. LajOie is said to be
much lighter than he has been in recent
years. and with the worry of handling the
team shifted to Jim McGuire's shoulders
he is playing much better ball.
What is more, Mcclure is not allowing
L.ajoie to play the hit-and-run game as
persistently as he used to. thus handicap
ping his hitting, for on most occasions he
had a bad ball to hit. at. Now Laioie
just waits for what he wants ard wal

SO we'll that it will be July, perhaps. be-
fore Bill Donovan will get chance to
pitch. He is not using Summers any too
often, either, figuring on keeping him in
good trim for the crucial games later in
the season. Willett, who has been car
ried by the Detroit club for several years
and has shown occasional flashes of being
good pitcher. seems to have developed
wonderfully since last season, and is now
pitching as good as George Mullin.
II. G. Salsinger of the Detroit News
takes this long-distance view of McAleer
and his pitching staff:
Washington is stronger in the field
than in 1909 and McAleer has some good
pitching material, but Jim apears to be
using the same disastrous tactics that
marked the departing season of Joe Can
tillOn.
John and Dixie Walker are being
worked too often to be effective. That
pair is the best that McAleer has at the
present time and he relies on either of
them in almost every game. Johnson
started the season with a one-hit game,
but was returned right after that and
has been working steadily and unsatis-
factorily ever since

Greer started to pitch for the varsity
team. but after the Aggies had solved him
for four runs it was thought to be about
time to call a halt and Green was sent
to the rescue. The run-getting stopped
instantly. ciphers going up for the Mary
landers in regular order until the ninth
round. when the fifth and last tally was
registered.
Widmayer led the varsity team with the
stick, getting two triples and two singles.
Hessler was close up with two triples and

This will be the third game played by

It looks now as if Californians were out
of the running in the referee race, and
as if there is a good chance for an east

Charley Eyton, who were preferred by
Jeffrtes' contingent, are persona non

Kid Elberfeld is up to his old tricks. He
was indisposed at the hilltop yesterday.
But he was the liveliest rooter you ever
saw around third base every time the
Senators had chance.
Our old friend Wild Conroy had a
chance to disport himself at the third
cushion as the result of Tabasco Kid s
idleness. COMFY started the rally in the
sixth that resulted in the two runs off
Quinn.
Charlie Hemphill hasn't been hitting at
his regular gait lately, but he is scoring
runs all the while and battling the oppo-
sition in fine style. His catch off Schaefer
in the third inning saved the game. But

meant victory for McAleer.
Oberlin was unfortunate. He gave
three bases on balls. All of these were
converted into runs. The other tally of
