They did things. Bobby Groom. with
his father looking on, went 10 slaughter.
Two innings sufficed for him, and in
that brace of frames the Browns got
six bingleS for four runs. Later on they
corralled two more off the Variegated
slantS of William Breakfastfood Otey.
Oh, yes, the Nationals COpped two in

runs IS not unknown to them.

Pimlico's closing.

" nen taps is sounded at Pimlico on
Wednesday afternoon it will mark the
closing of probably the most successful
meeting ever held at the Baltimore
track.
Not only has the sport itself been
good, and especially free from the scan-
dals that have done so much to hurt
the game in other places, but the
crowds have been large, and, l believe
more Washingtonians have attended
the races than have ever been present
at Pimlico in past years.
With Benning closed the turfmen of
Washington are fortunate in having
such excellent management at a track

Teems Is Wondering.

Wonder how the American League
clubs all waived on this Elmer Steele
mused Jimmy McAleer, the Nationals
manager. John I. Taylor had him and
didn't seem to think much of him. When
waivers were asked to let the pitcher go
to Providence, every manager in the
league concluded that Steele wouldn't
do. and no trouble was found in gettin~
the waivers. Indeed, so little did Tay-
lor think of him that he cut him loose
altogether.
"Pittsburg comes along. grabs him
from the Providence club and he shows
great form in the box for the Pirates

Sporting Gossip
Every Knock Is a Boos1.
For scholastic title.

For scholastic title.
1t appears as though the inter-high
school baseball championship will be
decided tomorrow afternoon when Cen
tral and Western meet.
Largely because of the ability of Cap
tain Boetler as a pitcher Central was a
pronounced favorite at the beginning of
the season. but at Western Lefty
Holden has shown such consistent form
in all his games thus FAR that there
are many who now believe that the
Georgetown school has at least an even
chance.
To date neither team has been beaten
in the series. which includes all five
OF the schools, and it should be a
mighty nice pitchers battle tomorrow
before either nine gives way.

Cantillon in fight

That Minneapolis ball club of Joe Can
tillon. is once more the biggest sort OF
a factor in the American Association
race.
Thanks to the excellent conditioning
which the team got on Cantillons ranch
in Kentucky, Minneapolis got away to
a good start, and. although the pitchers
work of late has been rather disappoint-
ing, the heavy hitting of the former
major leaguers who have been gathered
together by the former Washington
manager, have kept the Millers fighting
with Columbus for first place. The
other first division clubs are Kansas

Schaefer in charge.

The Sporting Writers Association of
Philadelphia yesterday completed ar
rangements for the celebration of May
81 as Harry Davis day.
One of the principal matters to be
decided was as to the master of cere-
monies, and it was unanimously voted
to let this position rest with Dutch
Schaefer, OF the Nationals. Schaefer
has a wide reputation as the greatest of
the present day humorists of the ball
field, and he should make an ideal man
for the day that Philadelphia fans will
pay tribute to Harry Davis.

Avalino Quintero. charged with muir

year. during efforts to secure his ex-

on May 81, the Mexican government
having refused the request of the
American state department through
which negotiations had been conducted.
Information of the action Of the Mex

office yesterday via Washington.
There was no explanation of why the
request was refused but it is not I'M
likely that Quintero was to some ex-
tent a beneficiary Of the late revolu-

a native born Mexican back 10 this
