The Washington club is today virtu-

floundered through last season. At the
December meeting of the league nothing
was done in the way OF Strengthening,
and at subsequent gatherings of mana
gers and mOguls but little OF interest to
the baseball fans of this city developed.
Now and then we hear reports from
the bushes that same one has been

FRANK FARRELL ON
THE WARPATH OVER
FRANK SMITH DEAL
Wants McAleer to Help
Bring Matter to an Ac-

With the Nationals.

With the Nationals.
NEW YORK, June 4.-President
Frank Farrell, owner of the Highland
ers, means to cause trouble in big
league circles which may ripple far and
wide before it quiets down. Further
more he has tried to enlist the services
Of Manager McAleer, of the Nationals.
Il tried to get Frank Smith. the
pitcher, from Taylor" said Magnate
Farrell today. Il refused to waive on
him, and l understand a few other
American League clubs did likewise.
Then 1t developed that Smith went to
the Cincinnati club for a money offer.
and it is said that certain clubs in this
league were induced to keep their hands
OF by certain sums OF money.
As soon as he saw Jimmy McAleer at
the Highlanders park yesterday Far
relI conferred with him regarding the
strange case Of Frank Smith, the twirl-
er now with the Cincinnati Reds: AT
least three clubs wanted him, and yet
he was allowed to drop out of the
American League. Knowing that the
Nation ais had declined to waive. Farrell
thought McAIeer might have some in
side information.
Doc Gessler strained his shoulder
when he made that wonderful leaping
catch in Philadelphia Thursday, and on
that account watched yesterdays game
from the bench, Jack Lelivelt replacing
him in the vineyard.
Kid Elberfeld is too slow TO hold down
second as a regular Job, and he seemed
more confident Of himself at his old
haiIiUick around third. At third the
Midget doesn't have to cover so much
ground, and shows UP IN much better
light. His sudden stop Of Hartzells
drive yesterday in the thud inning
killed a base hit, and forced Sweeney
AZ third. The bags were loaded, and
hit would have scored two runs, but
Elberfeld was right on the job. Hal
