to his opinions, but it is decidedly doubt
full IL he has based those regarding the
coming fight on facts.
Sullivan credits himself with having
done much for the game. but X his con-
duct during the days of his prime are re-
called il would seem that there has been
much Improvement in the caEber or most
of the men now identified with the sport
since he retired from 1t.
In the four games played at Boston the
Nationals have scored four runs, aver
aging one tally to q game. and OF course
IL would require most remarkable work
on the part of McAleer's pitchers to win
under such conditions.
The Nationals weakness is and always
has been in batting. In trying TO build
up the team into a winner this Is viz
cred. The pitching staff is strong enough,
but hitters are SADLY needed, for as now
made up the team does not average
enough runs per game to warrant 1t
good position in the race.
to their expected form majority of the
games which have been lost since the
team made its first trip away from nome
would have been victories. but with this
pair slumping the teams offensive de-
partment is so badly weakened that one
has to wonder indeed that so many vic
tories have been scored.
It has been the timely stick work of
those players who were not figured to be
of any material help with the bat that
has made this possible. McAleer realizes
the weakness Of his team and in trying
to rebuild il ii will be with the purpose
of making 1t stronger hitting team IN
view But good hitters do not grow on
trees and il will be a hard struggle which
must be attended by at least an even
break OF luck in the selection Of new
material to bring about the desired re-
suits.

whenever ball player carries his bat
ing average on his cuff, figuratively
speaking. his value to a team is virtually
iost. PLAYERS who have only their team IS
interest at heart do not worry about their
batting slumps. Bob Unglaub has in the
past been a most valuable player for the
local team because of his hitting. When
ne encountered a slump he was merely
gong through what every ball PLAYER has
at one time or another He would prob
ably have recovered his stride had he not
worried about his failure to get hits and
now that he blames official scorers for his
slump ne is simply proving the detri-
mental effect that his worry has had on
his all-around work. If Unglaub would

Gov. DickersOn of Nevada gives assur-
ance that the Jeffries-Johnson fight will
take place at Reno July 4. The chief eX-
ecutive says he is convinced that the bat
tie will be fought on it's merits. and thus
the only doubt which existed as to wheth-
er there would be interference has been
removed.
There really has never been any good
reason for insinuating that the fight was
not on the level. There Is no reason why
1t should not be. The strongest argument
that there never existed any prearranged
affair in connection with this fight is JEFF
fries record. Though perhaps i'm many
ways peculiar individual. who has never
catered for popularity. Jeffries has always
been on the square in everything he has
been connected with. There are rumors
concerning Johnson's connection with
peculiar looking fights, but he, too. has
too much at stake on this occasion to
think of doing anything but trying to win
the fight.

The Navy team put up a good game
despite the fact that they were beaten by
such a large margin. Poor pitching was
entirely responsible for the defeat and
not poor fielding as would be supposed
by judging from the small amount of hits
made by the winners. In the fourth in
ming when the Commissioners made FIVE
runs they only secured one hit. Very
soft indeed.

surprise in store for the fans. and that

Commissioners down to a small score or

AT morning, when the march began
And Hopes strong eagle waved her
wing,
Through banks of flowers the pathway
ran,
Beneath the silver skies of Spring.
Our hearts were glad, our faces gay,
We trod the slopes with careless
glee,
And through the hill-gaps, far away,
Hailed the blue splendor of the sea
We knew no peril, felt no fear.
Nor thought how swift the moments
pass;
The signing pines we did not hear,
Nor our own footsteps on the grass
But day wears on, and night is near,
Gray banners mingled with the gold
Our ranks are thin, our faces drear,
The sky is dark, the wind is cold.
We hear the moaning of the waves,
OF that great sea toward which we
tend:
Our thoughts are in the wayside
graves,
And on the solemn journeys end.
No more we hear the joyous cries,
