CHICAGO, May 12.-"Hugh" Duffy
and "Jcems" McAleer staged a mar
velous exhibition of what is known
as the hit and run game yesterday
afternoon. The hitless wonders have
become the hitting demons and Bob
Groom is covered with bumps, great
bumpy-bumps. When the fray opened
il looked like a regular big league
game; when 1t was over-officer, Of
ficer, he's here again, there he goes,
quick, catch him.
The features-say. did you ever see
twenty Young Narathons rolled into
one? Well that's what the bugs OF this
burg saw. The White Sox hiked around
those paths so hard and so often that
their tongues were hanging out OF their
mouths. Mcconnell, Lord, and McIn-
tyre wore out their shoes beating 1t In
over the platter, and the perpendicular
person-say, ever see small boy sound
lv spanked by a maidenly aunt for
taking Jam out of the closet. He was

today. He stayed in and took all in ono.
dose what was handed out to Johnson.
Otey, Sherry. and Gray the afternoon
before. The White Sox Just dripped
with. base hits. not merely singles, but
doubles and triples and four spots.
Whenever a man wanted a single or
double or a triple. why. he just wished
for It and got it. Truly It was g. most
marvellous exhibition of scientific slug
ging straight from the hip pocket
Four Innings Of Baseball.
But for four innings it was a ball
game The Nationals corralled four
runs in the first four stanzas, one each.
Milan singled and scored on Corhan's
wild heave of ElberfeId's bounce. Cor
hans yellow toss put Mcbride on Sec
ond from where he Tailed on Henry's
bingle to left In the second. In the
third Milan hit for four buttons, passed
Mcintyre. Schaefer tripled to right CEN
Brides drive to left for sack. The
White Sox got two in the third when
Mcconnell and Lord singled and came
over on Conroy's rank muff Of Gala

ping his fly, and Corhan's double to
left scored him. But the Nationals were
ahead. The fifth inning ended that hap
py dream, Mcconnell opened with
double, scoring on Lords single. Nc
Intyre forced Lord; Callahan singled
to center. Ping Bodie sent them both
across with a triple to left and scored
himself on Collins double to center. The
score was to 4. At this point 1t was still
a ball game The Nationals came with
in one of tieing the total in the sew
enth. Mcbride opened with a safety to
center to be- forced by Henry. Groom
actually made a single, his first of the
season, but Milan forced him. Conroy
shook himself together and pasted a
double down the left field foul line,
scoring Henry and Milan.
That Was the End.
Right here let US draw the curtain; It
was painful after that. The White Sox
took Bobby Groom and just beat him
to death. In their half they made only
seven runs on six hits, four singles; a
triple and homer were all they got

BEST MATCHESAR
EXPECTED TODAY IN
CHEVY CHASE TENNIS
Scratch Singles to Begin
With Lee McClung
in Lead.

At $50 O'Clock this afternoon what is
expected to be the best match of the
tennis scratch singles at Chevy Chase
will start. United States Treasurer Lee
McClung was leading in these matches
when darkness made IL necessary to
postpone the games until today.
McClung won two sets, lost one, and
tied the fourth with E. P. Grosvenor.
The scores were 1+12, 60, +6, and 6-6.
Miss Shepherd won an interesting matcn
from Miss Hinckley in the semi-fnal
round OF the ladies' scratch singles by
the scores of 40, 60, and 6-L

Just think OF II, that's all. Why old
man James Joseph Callahan got a
homer and a single in two times up that
session. Details? No. just haven't the
heart to narrate the awful details.
And in the eighth, say they went right
at poor Bobby again. They pounded
and beat him until he looked like the
front door mat in a crowded hotel. He'll
never look the same. though. he may
recover with careful nursing. With
two down they made only six more
runs, bringing up the total to twenty.
Say, what's the use? Bobby is breath
ing today, though the Doctor says his
condition Is precarious. The police are
on the trail of the miscreants, and
Jeems McAleer promises to prosecute
them If they are caught. This Chicago
is getting to be a terrible place for
peaceable citizens-men who Just mind
their own business. Why, these sand
baggers and sluggers lurk everywhere,
in Chicago.

Second Race, Thursday Feat

Horse.

BALTIMORE, May 12-The racing
yesterday was not particularly classy,
and, with the exception Of the second
event, the fields were rather cheap.
The appearance of King James, Foot
print, stinger, and Fashion Plate made
the second race easily the feature Of the
afternoon. The Hildreth crack won
handily enough, running the three-quar
ters In 1:12, making new track record.
King James ran the second quarter in
% 3-5. which is certainly going some.

had allowed one of the greatest stake

the post at better than even money and
had floundered around trying to pick
something to beat him.
August Belmont's Footprint, making
his first appearance OF the year, ran
smashing good race and got the place.
The distinct disappointment Of the race
was Singer.
Hildreth scratched out of the Brewers

Only Washington Newspnpermsn
With the Nationals.

CHICAGO, Ill, May 12.-If Jack
Lelivelt fails to make good on first
on this trial John Henry will go back
for another chance at the position.
Manager McAleer. though now using
Ielivelt on first and Henry behind the
bat. has not given up making a first
baseman out of the Amherst College
star.
"John is a good, natural ball player"
said Manager McAleer. If Lelivelt
fails to hold on at first, he'll go to
the outfeld again and Henry will
take up the job on first. All he needs
IS to hit a bit harder. Sometimes he
hits right and the next time he moves
like an old woman.
But l think the boy will make a
good first sacker at that. OF course,
he's new in the big league and he has
a lot to learn. l think he plays bet
ter at first than he does behind the
bat, and he's corking good back
stop at that. All he needs is to learn
how to hit and 1 think 1 can teach
him that"
No Chance to Throw.
Henry caught yesterdays game, but
had no chance to throw out anybody

At the bat he got one very sweet
single to left field that scored a run
He is practicing on first base all the
time and Jimmy McAleer makes him

Walter johnson, the Nationals star
pitcher, is much improved, and, though
he spent yesterday in bed, he got up
today, and said he felt we'll enough to
warm up. johnson has suffered from
cramps ever since he caught cold in
Boston. But they did not take him so
badly until he started against the White
SoX. Then the pains were so severe
that he could not stand up.
Il know it is not on account of some
thing may have eaten." said Johnson
today, because since catching cold I've
eaten hardly enough to keep me alive.
but those cramps were so bad that for
D while thought I'd never recover"
Takes Workout.
Today johnson accompanied the team
to the park. and worked out in uni

Dixie Walker, in good condition once
again. looks likely to be used II the box
before many days pass. The Alabama
giant never looked better IN practice
than right now, and he says that sore
ness is almost gone from his elbow.
II want to work again. says Walker
Here's the other lads getting their
bumps, and ] am not sent in. l know
I can't do any worse than they are
doing, and / think can do much better
If am given half a chance
Manager McAleer says that Walker
will be used as soon as he looks ready
to 60 through with game and not lose
all he has in one or two innings.

Georgetown can come back.

AS usual athletes representing
Georgetown have shown the same In
domitable fighting spirit which won
them that historic II to 1s baseball
game from Virginia.
After as bad a slump as any col
lege team can point to this year, the
1911 baseball team has come back
strong, winning two straight games
in best style. Both games were close.
In both contests II was a case of the
winner being the team composed of
players with best training, best fight
ing spirit and best natural baseball
instinct. The team looks good to
finish the season as we'll up in col
lege ranks as any other Blue and

most important preliminaries to the an

should SO consider It. as there are al
ways some persons only too ready to

kind Of q sporting event from chess to

a point to be on hand early tonight.
