Umpires' Decisions

! team gets a three or four run lead i'll the
/ frst few innings and the only effort that
Is made to get runs is to try and drive
| them in with base hits. The result is
mat runs are really thrown away where,
II the team would be satisfied with MAX
ing run or two at time, better re-
suits would he obtained
1t is pleasing to note that Germany
Schaefer continues to hit the ball The
Dutchman got double and a single and
cree robbed him of home run in the
seventh inning when he pulled down his
long line hit in deep center
This fellow Quinn seems to have some
thlng on our hitters. Staliings took no
chances with WARRIOR after the locals got
their two runs in the third, and Quinn
who Won over Johnson on Friday was
troJted out again. and, what is more he
delivered. Don't seem to have much
either. this chap. but manages TO keep it
just where the batterS can't punish it.
There is no getting away from it, there
Will have to be d whole lot of improve
ment in the Nationals if they are to do
any OF the nice things hoped for them
this spring. The team is not pIayine
poorly. either, but somehow or other it
seems to be its misfortune to be unable to
get hits when they would be productive
All teams go through such stages but it
Is but natural that the teams followers
would like to know whether the present
slump is permanent proposition or not
OF course if this is just little off spell
and better things are to be expected later
there Will be no kick coming
Tom Crooks batted for Oberlin in the
ninth and cracked out a clean tWo-bag-
ger to right which would have been good
for another extra base hut for the soggy
condition of the grounds
When Jack knight gets three clean hits
III one ball game things are break king
rather poorly. there can be no doubt of
that.
An outfielder with a good arm can, if
he does not use Judgment, do his team
great deal of harm by trying to make
impossible plays on the infield. Milan's
throw in the first yesterday was poorly
calculated With Wolter on first Chase
and he played the hit and run. a slow
single to center resulting. which Milan
did not reach until Wolter was well on
his way to third. and the throw there
proved costly. Had he thrown to sec
ond as he should. Wolter would not
have scored, nor would Chase have adj
vanced. so that the entire inning would
have been changed.
Jim McAleer. while downcast over the
defeats his team has suffered has not
lost faith in it. lie believes that better
lays are near & hand. and he considers
the present slump only a temporary af-
fair
We will go better, sure. This sort of
luck can't follow a team forever" said
he Just go back and analyze how We
nave been beaten in most of our games,
ana you II find that things have not
broken we'll for us. even though we have
not always played good ball. / know
that We have team that can hold its
own own with most of the teams in the
league and time will prove it. For
every bad break We are now having we

players viii hustle and not lose their
courage"
Two errors and three hits gave the
New Yorks four runs in the first inning
yesterday. after which Oberlin pitched
good ball WARRIOR retired after the
third, IT. which inning the locals scored
twice. This is the score:
