Quaker City Crews In
Force For Big Regatt..

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. S.-The an
nual Middle States regatta to be rowed
over the mile straight-away course on
the Patapsco river, at Baltimore, on
Labor Day. Monday. September 4, will
attract more crews from this city than
any other out-of-town regatta ever
drew. 1t will be the final rowing races
of the season. and will permit some OF
the crews that failed to win in the
earlier regattas this season a final
chance to share in the glory of victory.
The Vesper Boat Club has received an
invitation to send a senior eight-oared
shell crew to Toronto to take part in
the festival to be held there early in
September, a regatta being feature of
the exercises. An effort is being made
by the Canadians to secure the entrance
of some of the strong crews from the
United States. 1t is probable that OF
tawa senior eight that lost in the Royal
English Henley in July, and the crack
Argonaut eight that won the National
and Canadian championships will op-
pose the Vespers should they make the
trip. The race may be rowed Saturday,
September 9, in Toronto bay. Capt
E J. Hartman will try to make up
crew as he has plenty of material.
The local crews in prospect exceed the
number that took advantage of the
Peoples regatta held on the Schuylkill
river July l.

Losing good money.

By putting young Morgan into the
lineup yesterday, after 1t had been an
nounced that he would probably not
work for several days, the Washing
ton club overlooked another oportunity
to rake in many an extra dollar. Next
to victory there is no greater drawing
card in baseball than a new player, es-
pecially when Joining a team in the
ruck. The advance publicity given
Charley Becker served to bring out
the second largest crowd that has ever
been packed in the new park, while on
the day 1t was announced that Carl
Cashion would bow there was another
great throng. Yesterday, with the game
hopelessly lost, there was no particular
advantage in substituting Morgan for
Conroy, while, had he been carried a
few days and then advertised, the turn
stiles would have had a considerably
buster day. OF course, reaping financial
reward is not everything in baseball. but
II appears rather foolish to overlook
such a legitimate opportunity as was
presented when Morgan Joined the team.
For the benefit Of those who were not
on hand. it might be noted that Morgan
is of much the same build as Bill
Shipke, who used to cavort about third
at old National Park. The newcomer
did not have enough to do yesterday
to enable one to get real line on his
playing.

Passing of GRAY.

Patrons of National Park need not be
greatly surprised If they do not see
much more Of Dolly Gray. When the
southpaw took mis- place on the rubber
yesterday it was pretty well understood
that the game was to be much in the
order Of a final trial and as he failed to
make good a berth ir some minor
league will probably he found for him
before long. No pitcher was ever
given a better chance to become per-
manent fixture, but now that the club
has two youngsters who appear to pos
sess enough ability to warrant the be-
lief that they are in the league to stay,
GRAY can be disposed of without weak
ening the pitching staff. There appears
to be no reason why Gray should not
star In a fairly fast minor league, as
he is willing and has enough to fool
hatters somewhat below the standard
he has faced since breaking in here.
GRAY would like to get hack to Cali
fornia. and would be welcomed by his
cid club at Los Angeles.

followed by a pitiful relief expedition
by "Husk'' Cashion; unexpected heavy
hitting by "Rubbershirt Bill Cunning
ham, unheraided appearance of Ray
Morgan in the Nationals lineup, daring
aeroplane fights above the park-all this
was witnessed by those fans who saw
the browns and Nationals break even
yesterday in that double-header. Yep,
guess they get their moneys worth.
ISof: Groom, the smiling, angular,
lengthy hurler, gave remarkable eX-
hibition Of the mound art in that first
battle, and, thanks to "Zeb" Milan s
double In the sixth parasang, was able
to cross the line winner in the regula-
ton ninn innings by a score of ! to O,
He was opposed by Barney Petty, one
of the best performers IN the major
leagues. Barney showed fully as much
class as did the toothpick twirler OF the
Nationals, too.
Two Hits In the First.
Just two scattered bingles were regis
tered by the Browns in that opening
nee -and-neck combat. Laporte crashed
a fiuke to Conrcy in the second inning,
to be run down later between second
and third when Stephens hit to Groom.
With two gone, Lapcrte slapped a clean
safety to right in the seventh and stuck.
He was the only Brownie to register a
nit.
Petty started rather weakly, but the
third inning saw him swinging along
like the artist he is. The Nationals
had two men on the bags in the frst
and second chapters, but could do
nothing. Not till the sixth were the
able to shoot their lonely
tally over the dish.
"Zeb" Milan, unable to do a thing
on his previous appearances, ripped
a two-base swat to the right garden
as a starter in the sixth. Herman
bunt was perfect, and
while he was perishing Milan gallop-
ed to third. Kid Elberfeld tried to
work Petty, but there was nothing
doing in that line, and His Kidlets
shot a long fly to Hogan. Milan easily
beat the wide throw from the garden.
The ice had been broken.
Aside from the pitchvers' quarrel that
first game was monotonous. Groom
was master of the situation at all
times, and the Nationals connected
for but four hits, Conroy getting two
of them. Schaefer's movements
around first were artistic in every
way, and George Mcbride contributed
two beautiful stops back of second,
getting his man. each time at first.
Here's the monotone in figures:

That second game-slaughter, rather
started sadly. Eight runs piled over

It was a relief from what was going on

Veteran Rounded Into Form
Late, But Has Done Some
Fine Work.
DIXIE WALKER is DUE

Artists.
By SENATOR"

Sir Thomas Hughes, the veteran
twirler of the Nationals, Is suffering
from a lame back and Is not in condi-
tion to do his best work on the hill.
He is not a gutter, and will ascend
the hill, If ordered, yet the real rea-
son for his failure to make good on
his last appearance against the White
Sox was his strained back.
Hughes took a long time TO round
into form this season, and ne was out
of the game through illness several
weeks at the start. But once the warm
weather came to stay the old hurler
showed more class than any OF the
other members of the staff, and, until
sent against the White Sox Ill that bat
tie Saturday, he had done some of the
best work in his career in three games
just played.
Dixie Walker. the Alabama beauty,
will return to the team at the end Of
the week, and he should be in shape
10 take his turn in the box. Walker
is In ,Wylan, Ala, visiting his home
Walker back in the fold the regular
twirlers are likely to be johnson,
Hughes, Groom, Walker, and Buck
Becker.
Morgan Looks Lively.
Ray Morgan, suddenly interjected intn
yesterdays doubleheader. gave the fans
the impression that he is a good, live
ly fielder. who may. become a major
league star with experience. If he can
hit, and yesterdays three trips to the
pan gave no such indication, he should
be a regular infielder next season.
II nothing else, Morgan is a HEAVIER
of merit. His Snappy side-arm toss
across the diamond is going to kill many
a bfOgle. He moves after slow-hit balls
as il he had plenty of life in his make
up, and he is not umid in the path of
those wicked drives that the sluggers
hammer out. Morgan looks like d
conner.
The final payment for Buck" Becker
has been made by the management Of
tho Nationals to the Youngstown club
q the q. and p. League, making the
snuthpaw the full property of the local
club. Becker most likely will be used
in turn on the slab by Manager Nc
Aleer.

Suburbanites have league.

The constitution of the Suburban
League. which has been forwarded to
the Amateur Baseball Commission,
shows there is no clause compelling the
organization to have at least four clubs.
This will rid the arbitration board OF
much expected trouble this afternoon,
and all that now remains to be settled
is whether the championship shall go
to Petworth or Silver Spring. Either
way you take it the Suburban League
is assured of representation in the post

apparently unlikely had it been decided
that no league existed.
