LOCALS NOSED OUT AGAIN
NATIONALS FAIL TO BEAT ATH.
LETICS WITH NEW INFIELD.
Johnson Is Hit Hard, Given Poor
Support, and Quakers Finish
Ahead by One Run.

| PHILADELPHIA. May ..-Manager
McAleer made a general shift in the line
up of his team yesterday, and with Wal
| ter Johnson. his star slab artist. on the
mound Washington gave the Athletics
a close battle Connie Mack's hustling
bunch pulling the game out in the ninth
| inning, after two men had been retired
on three clean hits. The final count was
| 4 to B. with the Athletics on the long
| end.
! Harry Krause, the young port-side
finger of the White Elephants, was dou-
| bly, responsible for the Athletics victory.
He pitched effectively when Washington
seemed bent on winning the game, and
he got three of the twelve hits made off
Johnson. One of these was double in
the sixth, when krause scored the home
| clubs first run, and his single III the
ninth was the starting point of the rally
which won the game.

tween Street and johnson, followed by
poor bit of fielding by Lelivelt on Old
rings hit. which went for q double, scor-
ing Strunk, when it should have been
| held down to a single. Both ptcnefs
were hit hard in the last half of the
| game and the Athletics hitting proved
the more effective. Johnson had seven
strike-out victims in the first five innings,
| tanning Davis. Murphy and Barry in
order in the second. and Thomas, the
| first man up in tine third.

McAleer Decides on Other Changes in Line
Up-Wants to Arrange Strongest Com
bination-McBride Sick Man.

cay Harry krause, anything but strong
hitter, got three singles which cut a
hsure in the score. Is this merely
preak of luck or is it possible that john
siders weak hitter? Johnson has been
hit harder this spring than ever before.
In only one game has he shown his old
form. and that was the opening game
OF the season, when he let the Athletics
down with single hit, and that a
scratch
In his other games he has been hit
rather hard for Johnson. who used to
lose his games because of the inability
OF his teammates to score any runs be-
hind him.
Young Cy Young, the left-hander who
few years ego was sensation in the
National Leage when he pitched for Bos-
ton and later was given q trial by Pitts
burg. seems to have regained his old
form. for he shut out the Tigers for the
SoX yesterday. Young has been in the
American Association with the Minneap-
OILS team Tor the past two seasons. He
was sent there because it was thought
that his usefulness IN the major league
was over, but he has come back with
vengeance If yesterdays performance
can be taken as a criterion.
With Browne, Crooks, Conroy and
Kill.fer in the game McAleer has ex-
hausted his utility department. There are
no other changes he can make unless
it is to bring some of the players who
have just been dropped out OF the lineup
back again. and this is not at all unlikely
for after rest some of them may be
able to show the kind of form that Nc
A1eer wants.
Philadelphia fans and critics are con-
fdent that the Athletics will take a fall
out of the Tigers this year. and the COM
ing OF Jennings squad is anXiously await
ed there. Macks team has been going
along at such a fast clip that it is ex-
pected it will have big lead in the race
by the time the invasion of the western
clubs Is over.
Detroit will play in New York and Bos-
ton before going to Philadelphia, and the
series between these teams is expected
to be the warmest in the history of the
American League. In former years there
has always been some doubt in the minds
OF Philadelphians as to the ability of
Mack's team to beat the Tigers. but this
spring u is different. The very fact that
Mack has announced that his team will
win the pennant and 1t has shown high
form has gwen the fans confidence, and
they will crowd to the park for the De-
trOit series in the hope of seeing the
Tigers Inundated.

The Western High School boys sprung
q surprise on the knowing ones yester-
day when they nosed out the strong
Business aggregation by the score Of
to ). Both teams put UP a poor fielding
exhibition. and the luck that was in the
game favored the Western team, as its
errors were not as costly as Business.
Todd went the entire route for the
Western aggregation, and notwithstand-
ing his bad support. held Business to
six hits and was as cool as a major
Lacquer all the way.
Burley, who sta. led pitching for Busi-
ness. was wild and ineffective, and he
traded places with Mccarthy, going to
first base. The latter did ve,y well, but
his support was so ragged that it null
lifted almost all of the good pitching.
If the Western lads can overcome their
nervousness and give Todd good sup
port the team will be quite a factor in
the pennant race.

But the amount Of work that Jeffries is
doing with the fight still nearly two
months off indicates good condition. No
man unfit could go through his daily
training course and get out OF bed the
following day. Ii the big fellow can
keep up this clip-and there ia no reason
why it should not be easier for him as he

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY ]. ED GRILLo.

1t is noteworthy fact that two of the
best teams in the American League to-
day-Philadelphia and Boston-discarded
their stars of q year or so before only
a few seasons ago and filled their places
with unknown youngsters.
No more radical change in a team was
ever made than took place in Boston.
Having won two pennants, the Boston
aggregation seemed sure to remain In
tact for some time, but when the team
sIumped twice in succession John l. Tay-
lor. it's owner. decided upon changes. He
disposed OF his star players right and
left and grabbed up youngsters. For a
time he was held up to ridicule, but he
carried out his plans, with the result
that he has a team which at least stands
a chance to finish high up in the race.
Connie Mack followed a similar course.
though not quite so drastic He too. cut out
a lot of players who had served him we'll
and filled up with youngsters. Today his
! team looks as if 1t might carry of first
hcrcrs in the race.
Comiskey at Chicago went along for
years with veterans. but when he found
that they could not win for him he fol-
lowed in the course OF Tayior ana MACK,
dropped his veterans and picked up young
sters. This is the first year of the re-
juvenated Sox, and much is not expected
of them. for a new team seldom makes a
good showing the first season, but Co
miskey is on the right track to build up
u winner.
Here in Washington the plan OF try
ing to build up team with material
available from other major league clubs
has surely not been a success, and 1t has
been given a fair trial. Big sums nave
been paid in an effort TO get players who
would make the team winner. yet II IS
a losing team.
McAleer has made move in the right
direction by experimenting with his ex-
ira players. 1t will be wise for him to
learn just what he has on hand. so that
he can make plans for the future. Take
the case of Killifer, for instance. He has
never had any regular position since he
came into fast company three years ago.
and yet he impresses one as being a
player OF ability. He may have his short
comings but there is but one way to cor
rect them. and that is to give killifer
where. and, If he does not, some benefit
will be derived from the knowledge that
he will not do
One great fault here has been that the
same team has been allowed to struggle
along until the fall set in. when changes
were made, but McAleer does not intend
to wait unit the season is nearly over
| before getting a good line on his play
erS.
1t is questionable IL there has ever been
a season in which so many players who
came from the minor leagues are hold
ing their own in fast company as the
present Nearly every team which ex-
found one or more who will do, and this
means that some more of the veterans
, Will be replaced within n short while. Or
dinariiy but u small percentage OF the
players who come up for trials make
good but this year the number is re-
markabie. This seems to be particularly
