By WILLIAM PEET.

Cant say that we had very success
ful trip to New York and Philadelphia
this past week. but am not discouraged
yet awhile" said Jimmy McAleer 20 the
writer at midnight last night
I'm going 20 switch the men around
for few days until I hit the right COM
bination. I don't believe in going out
after new material until I have tried
every possible shift with the players
have on hand
McAleer intimated that he had lines
out for new men. but that they would
not be signed up until il was found that
they were absolutely needed. The Ma
tionals' boss believes that the tide is just
about 10 turn, and that with a long
stretch Of games at home things Will
break better.
Doc" White. a citizen Of the District,
the Chicago White Sox twirler. rated as
one Of the best left-handers in the Ameri-
can League. arrived in Washington late
Sunday night and yesterday afternoon
worked out with the Georgetown team
on the Hilltoppers' field. DOC" gave the
Blue and Gray slabmen lot or valuable
coaching and enjoyed things immensely.
The Chicago team Will not reach tho
Capital until some time this morning.
and, according TO George Rice, Of the
Chicago Inter ocean, who came on with
White. the lanky dentist will twirl the
game for Chicago this afternoon, and II
the Nationals can beat the doctor, local
fans are bound 10 believe that luck has
turned. for White has always been a hard
nut for Washington TO crack.
Walter Johnson handed out a cheerful
bit Of news last night He said that his
protege, BIZ Hinrichs, would be in Wash
ington within the next ten days. John
son is in receipt Of a letter from Hin
richs. in which the Pacific Coast boy
states that he had decided 10 come on
sooner than first planned.
If Hinrichs is able 10 give a good ac-
count OF himself, he will be welcomed
with open arms by management and
fans alike.
Asked last night who would twirl FOR
the Nationals in to-day's game, Man
ager McAleer stated that Walter John
son would probably be called upon to try
his luck.
Bob Unglaub is still az his home in
Williamsport, Pa. where Mrs. Unglaub
lies dangerously i'll. It is not known
when he will return to the club. and
pending Bob's absence. Tom Crooks will
hold down the initial sack
q, T.
Inter ocean. the Detroit Tigers do not
loom up so formidably this season as in
the last three years. Mr.. Rice says that
they are weak in the box. and believes
that the Philadelphia Athletics will likely
be right up at the top before the final
bell rings
Manager Stallings. OF the New York
Yankees. is Of the same opinion. as the
following from the New York Mail will
attest:
Personally, StallinEs has a notion that
the Athletics are all he really has to
fear. The Tigers Of last year never play
ed harder, faster, or header game than
Connie Macks White Elephants are put
ting UP right now. and. from all accounts.
Detroit is not finding it any easy matter
10 get started. Cleveland is way up near
the top, but most of the Maps victories
have been won from s.. Louis, and the
Browns are rated as Jokes The White
Sox. as usual, have a lot of good pitchers.
but are not hitting enough 10 cause a
great deal of worry
The series with the Eastern clubs has
proved that Boston and Washington will
need a lot Of patching up 10 cut any fig
ure in the chase for the pennant Ex-
perimenting with the infeld alone has
kept the Yanks from making a better
start than they have. Now that the in
ner line Of defense has been decided
upon. for a time at least, the team. which
already outclasses Boston and Washing
ton. ought TO 20 along even faster than it
has"
A dispatch from Chicago yesterday
SAYS.
THE Giants are here to-day ready 20
start a series with the Chicago Cubs.
