BY PAUL HALE BRuskE.

Well, "Our Boys" have struck the
annual epidemic OF southpaws. For
two days now they've been up against
them and there's an excellent chance
that there will be another "kithogue'

White at Chicago Saturday, George
OF Detroit yesterday, Hamilton here
|today--the Tiges are getting IL in the
same old way.
The last two doses resulted In ten
inning battles. White won his, largely
because he pitched a grand article OF
ball while Willett acted as III short
of work and weakened in the later
stages. He was surely TO be pardoned
for he hadn't toiled for nine days
George, yesterdays opponent, lost his,
after fighting back surge after surge
iof the Tiger batsmen In most astound'
ling style.
The rival managers are all watch
ling the conflicts with eagle eyes. Ev-
cry one OF them is grooming left
handler or two for use against the
Tiges.
AS matter of strict truth. the Tt
/ gers are less than ever at the mercy
OF left-handed pitcher this year. Inc
three outfielders are the only left
handed batsmen when Stanage
catches. In the old days when the
southpaw peril was first discovered,
Detroit had a left-handed hitter on
4 first base and another behind the bat.
Now the infield and Stanage are in
position to slough the left-handers
slants. Delahanty and Stanage do so
I'm particular Bush has habit OF hit
ting 'em extra hard when left-hand-
er oficiates. Gainor showed signs or
similar proclivities on both Saturday
and Sunday. Moriarty ought TO, and
there is Del Drake In reserve, as
cleanup man in place or some out
fielder, to which use he will be put
as soon as his convalescent ankle be-
comes well.
Now and then there will come along
left-hander who will trim the IL
gers, as White did Saturday. But he
Will have to be In fine form and equip
ped with everything. In such circum-
stances the Tigers are liable to de-
feat, even IL the pitcher heaves from
the standard side of his person.
But there Is one player who never

N ALEER MAY TIE
GAN TO WALKER
Famous Pitcher Can't Seem To Get
Started and Isn't Observing
Training Regime.

WASHINGTON. April 24.-There Is
one player on the washington base
ball club likely to enjoy other scenery
before the 1911 season comes to a
close, and unless this man shows
something In the twirling line right
soon Manager Jim will start talking
trade with some OF the other Ameri-
can league managers.
Dixie Walker is the athlete referred
to, and only the greatest reversal OF
form will save his bacon.
Down In Atlanta, Walker was joke
In comparison with the other pitchers.
Every single practice game in which
he twirled he was bumped hard, de-
spite the fact that he was apparently
trying to win.
Walker Is the real disappointment
this season. Manager Jim overlooked
the big fellows eccentricities and
shortcomings last year, hoping that
as the twirler gained experience he
would settle down
Up to date, Walker has not settled
down, and 1t is a well-known fact that
Manager Jim's patience is almost ex-
hausted.
The truth about Walker is that he
is not taking the proper care OF him
self He does not observe strict train
ing rules and his work shows 1t.
The Birmingham lad has been plain
ly told that from now on he will have
to turn over q new leaf.

HEDGES READY TO
DEAL WITH NAv|N
Says He'll Trade Anything On His
Club, But Fails To Appeal To
Detroit Magnate.

President Robert Lee Hedges, OF
the ST. Louis Browns and President
Frank j. Navin. of the Detroit Tigers,
held a short conference this morning

an exchange OF players, sought by the
visiting magnate. The conference
ended without anything definite being
accomplished. In fact, there seems
but scant possibility OF anything OF
the sort.

league. and tighter" said President
Hedges. In reviewing the conditions.
Il am In position TO trade anything

as the result OF the two deals which
put through during the winter. I
am inclined TO regard myself serious

do any business with Detroit. Per
haps, IL the club here hadn't been win
ming so many ball games. I might find
things easier. II Is lot more dim
cult 10 talk trade with a winning club,
than loser
Though neither Of the magnates
would admit 1t, 1t Is believed that the
only basis TO which Detroit would con-
sent TO negotiations was on Pitcher
Bailey, OF the Browns.
Hedges was particularly interested
in Pitcher Works, Outfielder Smaller
and Infielder Ness, OF the Tigers. On
all OF these players he waived claim
earlier In the year. Now his one
method OF securing them would be
by the purchase route, unless he de-
cides to trade Bailey.
year ago Detroit offered Mr..
Hedges deal Of Schmidt for Bailey.
This was refused and was not again
brought up, as the st. Louis magnate
believes his team In good shape be-
hind the bat with Clarke, Stephens
and Kritchell.

washington starr

Ball players may come and ball
players may go, but It does seem as
II Kid Eleberfeld would go on for
ever. Every now and then when FL
befeld's long career is mentioned, 1t
leads to the belief that the time has
come when he must soon make way
for some young man. But there is
nothing to indicate that time has done
anything but improve the kid. He Ii a
better ball player today than he was
ten years ago, because he is attending
more strictly TO business. He no long
er has time for squabbles with UNI
pires or spectators, but looks after his
own work and that Of his team. The
kids hustling proclivities are invalu-
able. He is in every play that he can
reach, coaches the pitchers and Is, as
they say, constantly on the Job. IL
would be no easy matter to find a
player more valuable to the Nation
ais than Elberfeld.
