NEW YORK, April 23.-Bob Groom's
excellent work in the box against Bos-
ton and New York means that he will
he used regularly, from the start. Jimmy
McMeer is much pleased with the
lengthy chap, and says he is certain
to be a winner this season.
Tomorrow, Johnson is due to work" I"
says McAleer, against the Kilties. That
will give me Dolly Gray, Bill Otey, Bob
Groom and Walter again for the Ath-
letics If Tom Hughes feels able to
work again. Ill use him in Philadelphia
instead of Otey.
Il expect to have some success against
the Mack tribe. They are not going well
yet, and we should he there with bells
on. The way Groom is pitching now,
nothing but light hitting and errors be-
hind him can cause him to lose games.
I never saw him look so well since he
first broke into the big show, and. with
any kind of support, he is going to
cause a lot of trouble for all comers
this year.
Big Hopes Ahead
'If we can catch the Athletics playing
the kind of ball they are now doing in
Boston, and have decent breaks in the
luck, l can't see why we should not
cop three of the four in Philly. Well
try mighty hard to do IT anyway.
The boys are going along nicely. The
dope says that they'll tumble down
soon. but as long as they play ball as
they are playing now, no team in the
league has anything on them, not a
thing"

NEW YORK, April 23."Long Tom"

strong with tales of the diamond, and
he told one on Bill Wolfe, the twirler.
once identified with the Nationals, that
brought down the house.
we were playing in Cleveland, and
Bill was in the box" says Tom. He
was going along pretty well, and We
thought we had the game sewed I'D.
Joe Canttllon had smile on that look
ed like the stove polish sign. We were
actually going to win a game, a strange
thing for the Washington club at that
time.
The score was to in the ninth in
our favor, when couple Of errors let
two Cleveland men grab cushions. Fur
thermore, Larry was coming along for
a turn at bat. Wolfe turned on ali his
steam and shut off the next two batters.
But Larry was due, and Joe Cantillon
was worried. Larry marched up to the
plate and Cantillon called Wolfe over to
the coaching box and said to him:
Now, Bill, walk the big Frenchman,
and take chance with the next batter.
You're going good; don't lost this game,
for the love of sweet Hyacinthev
No, I'm not going to walk Larry,
replied Bill, I've got his weakness
you've got his weaknessr fairly
shouted Joe. Are you crazy. boy, to
say such thing? Walk him, tell
your
Then Bill walked back to the box
and laid the pill right over in the
groove. Good night! Larry gave that
ball ride clear to the fence in left
center: and Joe was going to can Bill

Yes, BIZ has Larry's weakness,-just

The Terrible Nine.
THAT old bunch with Joe Cantillon
was funny crowd" said Tom Hughes
the other evening in a tanning bee.
I'VE were a joke team, and played out
our schedule in order to draw our
money. We never dreamed of winning
a game. That would have been a won
derful surprise.
''One day, / think il was in 1904, W.
got into Detroit, and as We left the bus
They were of black cloth with the let
ters The Terrible Nine in white letters
across the forehead. Somebody sug-
gested our taking them, and We found
the boy had just sixteen masks, one
each for the team.
Quickly We put on those masks and
marched through the gate. The club
house was in center field then, and
We made fine sight hiking across that
field, every man wearing a black mask
marked The Terrible Nine
THE crowd roared with laughter, and
there was a great stir In the boxes as
we disappeared into the club house. We
thought IL great joke, and were going
TO go to the bench with the masks on
when a bomb exploded.

Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boost." "
Mackey and Grant.

Joe Grant and Rob Roy MackeY, the
Washington wrestlers. are planning to
meet on the mat shortly in what prom
ises to be the final big match of the
season in Washington.
II will be recalled that before Grant
went into retirement a few years ago
his final engagement was with Mackey.
In the Washington Light Infantry Ar
mory. and the bout was one of the best
ever seen on the mat in the Capital
My impression is that such match as
is being arranged should draw well. as
both men have large followings here.

Doc" White winner.

It remained for Harry white. the
elongated Washingtonian. to stop the
onward rush Of Hughey Jennings De-
troit Tigers --'
He allowed but five hits and was so
well supported by the White Sox that
victory was made possible by runs in
the ninth and tenth innings after De-
troft had obtained an early lead
When the Eastern teams invade the
West the Tigers will probably agree
that they were lucky to open against
clubs in their section, as there is, Just
now. but one Western club in the first
division of the race.

Help to schoolboys.

The announcement that the Cathedral
School intends to build a modern ath-
letic field in this city means much to
the schoolboys Of this city,.
So progressive has Cathedral been
since Coach Green has been In charge

some mighty interesting scholastic
games in the vicinity Of Wisconsin ave-
nue. before many moons.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, April 23.-Specta-
tors. who saw yesterdays tie game be-
tween Strayer's Business College, Of
Washington. and the Rockville High
School are of the opinion that Strayer's
would have won easily had not Pitcher
Bures been so wild. Rockville was out
rlayed both at the bat and in the field,
but Pures' erratic twirling gave its
batsmen many chances. The score was
9-s

Fans Roar At Schaefer.


Herman Schaefer, always a favorite
with the New York fans, has pulled off
some of his best stunts on this trip.
Going to the bat against Ford, Tommy
Connolly called a strike on a ball even
with his forehead. Herman showed the
fans where it was, and then waited until
another had been called. Then he wig
gled his knees as If in fright, and the
crowd roared.
Kid ElberfeId may not be popular
with some of the New York sport
writer's but many of the fans remem-
ber him with joy. Every time he
makes a good stop in the opening
practice. he gets a big hand, and
every time he comes to the bat there
are prophecies made as to mis- chances
of making a bingle. Then, too, at the
hotel, the fans come In In punches
to shake his hand and wish him well.
Through it all Elberfeld smiles grimly
and says little. But it makes him feel
good, just the same.
Jack Lelivelt saw Sailor Burke meet
Tom Mcmahon in the ring the other
night and the next day he tried to
explain to Tom Hughes why Mcmahon
would never be real one in the ring.
In trying to illustrate he took a fight
ing attitude and started to swing for
Toms chin. Here, put your hands
down." cried Conroy. Here, officer,
arrest this man" 1t took some ex-
PLANTATION from Jack before the house
cop went back to his post near the
desk.
Bob Groom, the perpendicular twirl-
er of the Nationals, has worked in
two games so far this season, and in
each has shown excellent skill and
control. Against the Highlanders Bob
used his splitter, and says he is going
to use 1t lot this season. Whenever
need to get the batter" says Bob.
I'm going to turn on my juice ball
and / want to see them send 1t over
the fence. I've got a good start this
season, and I'm going to go down the
line like winner, if 1 possibly can"
Fred Sherry and Tom Hughes are
rooming together. Hughes says he can
get along with Sherry because the
Scranton youth never says anything
until spoken to, and then doesn't make
1t long.
