McAleer and Owner Hedges Of the

If some announcement was made before

Hedges ard Mc.Aleer were not talking
about the weather. Their conference
lasted about fifteen minutes.

The batteries have fallen down some
thing awful. The players just can't get

the proves of the st. Louis tWirlers, who
had been pitching joke ball up to the
present series So. unless the hitting i'm
proves, a National victory will hardly
be on the way in the face of the poor
pitching McAleer is getting.

felt pretty sure of victory if it had
four or FIVE run lead and the pitcher

when that added rubber Is going TO cause
an explosion. It's going TO keep every
body guessing and hustling.'
Hedges has started a new wrinkle here:
instead of having the umpires announce
the batteries and lineup changes. he
has hired small boy with a large
voice to do that work with the aid of
huge megaphone. The grandstand pa
irons are not the only ones favored. The
small boy, etc. makes three announce
ments to the different sections of the
grandstand. one to the pavilion and one
each to the left field and center field

President Lynch should Immediately in
vestigate the Griffith charges. If they
cannot be Substantiated Griffith should be
put on the carpet, for it does not help
the game to have such stories started if
there is no foundation for them.
The reconstruction of his pitching staff
is one thing that Manager McAieer should
figure on at once. For several years the
public has been led to believe that so far
as pitchers were concerned the Nationals
were we'll fortified. but the results of the
games have not proved this. Johnson is
really the only consistent performer on
the staff when he Is right. The others all
appear to be in-and.outers. w*>o cannot
be relied upon. Gray and Groom. who
were secured from the coast three years
ago, gave promise fpr a while. but it
must be recognized now that neither has
made good.
True they have occasionally shown a
fash. but there has been nothing con-
sistent or steady about their work. So
it would seem that McAleer has much
more to do than the mere strengthening
of his outfield. He seems well supplied

has had a string this youngster for
several years and was willing to part
with him last fall. Jennings wanted

chase Raltson. but the local club. not car
ing to take what Detroit did not want
and anxious to get what the Tigers want

Ralston, who of course proved a failure.
On the face of the proposition at that
time the local club was acting wisely. but
il seems that luck once more broke the
wrong way.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

With Detroit nearly 800 points in front
of its nearest rival, the American League
race threatens to develop into a fight for
second place long before the first half
OF the season has been played. Nothing
but most remarkable reversal of form
can beat the Tigers nov The expected
slump when the eastern teams struck the
west has failed to materialize and the
winning streak Of the tribe of Jennings
goes merrily on. And the fact should not
be overlooked that barring the games
Mulin has pitched. the Tigers have been
able TO gain their wonderful lead y
working only their young pitchers. Sum
mers. Willett and Donovan are yet to be
heard from The chances are that Jen-
nings will start this trio later in the
season. when they are in good trim. and
thus cinch the pennant.
Had the Athletics given the same sort
of account of themselves in Chicago
that they did in St. Louis they would
undoubtedly have been credited with
having a grand chance to overhaul the
leaders within the next month. but that
now seems impossible. while neither Bos-
ton nor New York, the other supposed
contenders. appears to have a chance
That second division fight promises to be
interesting. Chicago is squirting now and
gives promise of leading that division
when the teams get Strengthened out for
the stretch run. In fact. those White
Sox might upset expectations and crawl
into the select four, but that is hardly
likely.
II It is true that ST. Louis is willing TO
give Bill Bailey for John Somerlot. Nc
Aieer should not lose any time closi . the
deal. Bailey was once promising pitch
er and change of clubs would do him a
world of good. No one has a higher opin-
ion of Bailey's ability than Hugh Jen-
nings, who has for the past three sea-
sons tried to make a deal for him. Even
if Bailey should prove failure, the
Washington club would not have the
worst of It, for SomerIot is a useless prop
osition TO the club. 1t may be that Nc
Aleer played him yesterday to give Wal
lace a chance to see him in action
though 1t might have been wiser to keep
him under cover.
There is some consolation, perhaps. in
the fact that these occasional slumps by
the Nationals are not unexpected. Win
ming streaks are so rare in connection
with a Washington ball team that a row
OF defeats does not have the same eff
feet on the populace here that 1t does in
other cities. Just now there are no smiles
on the faces of the fans in the other
eastern cities. The entire eastern divi-
sion is doing miserable work on this trip,
and this is particularly true of the
Athletics, who have lost three straight

Driving Weisenberger from the box and
getting five hits and seven runs, Manhat-
tan won from ST. Paul in the Independ-
ence League. The game was the most
exciting. thus far this season, sensational
fielding and timely cloutng featuring.
Two double plays were made by each
team in the six innings. Both of St
Faults were unassisted and came In the
opening rounds. In the first inning with
Whitmarsh on second, ''Chucky' Dampier
hit a liner close to the bag which Cullum
speared and doubled up on Whitmarsh.
In the next round with Oakley on second
the performance was repeated, this time
Burns being the participator.
That double of Fegan's in the last that
sent three runs across the plate was the
biggest surprise of the game. 1t was
Fegan's first hit of the season and it
could not have been gotteN under better
circumstances.

a star game, although he made a bad
throw when the team was in the air in

after his error. when he dove at Fegan

the steal home.

long runs. both of which We're going for

splendid catches.
Cullum, besides making a double play
unassisted. played a great game in short
for the losers. He had seven chances
and got all but one. He covered Iots
of ground and slapped down a couple
that looked like hits.
