at first base for the Browns. young som

If McAleer wants to turn him loose. If
McAleer listens to trade talk the st.
Louis crowd will likely use Bill Bailey
as bait.
While the Nationals seem to have sunk
in the dust of u batting slump. Manager
McAleer is glad that the team has at
last struck good weather. B'or the first
time this season, he says, the team has
encountered heat, and If anything should
assist the players it is old Sol. 1t has
been very warm here during the Ma
tionals' stay.
While Barney Petty and Jack Powell
have pitched two good games against the
Taftvile aggregation. it seems that it is
the slump Of Washington players in hit
ting rather than effective work on the
part of the local hurlers. Petty was
about ready to be counted out when he
came to life and won Sunday game.
Powell has been unfortunate in most OF
his games to date and his effort yester-
day was his best of the season.
McAleer's only regret is that he is not
getting better pitching. His htters have
failed. but with poor pitching he can't ex-
pect to win games. Against the lowly
Browns McAleer thought 1t would be a
good place to give young Sherry. from
the Youngstown, 0. and p League team,

victory will be flashed Washingtonward

is that Tom Hughes and Charley Street

MIDDLE ATLANTIC
TENNIS UNDER WAY
Many Good Matches Played on
Bachelors Courts on
Opening Day.

With ideal weather and a large gall
lery. the Middle Atlantic States tennis
championship tournament was launched
at the Bachelors Club courts yesterday
afternoon, and unusually good play was
| IN order. The work of the out-of-town
players was Of high order and attracted
great deal Of attention, all of them
winning their matches
Russell Griffith of Rochester, n Y,
won from +. j. Bates, S-6 and Go, in
the first round, but was defeated by
Connie Doyle in the second round. 6-1
and Go. II. B. Irwin of Princeton de-
| feated Mark Trumbull, 80, 6-3 and 6-1
in his match, and 0. c. Shaner, the other
out-of-town .entrant. who halls from
Lynchburg, Va, took c. A. Barnard into
camp. 60 and 60.
In what was probably the best match
of the day Norris Mclean defeated A. c..
Chesley in straight sets, 6-3 and 10.
These players were very evenly matched
and the result could not be foreseen until
the last ball went over the net Mclean,
who IS one of the youngest players in
the tournament, put up an exceptionally
good article Of tennis, covering lots Of
ground and using a great deal of speed.
Chesley. who has been at the game for
some time played well, but not well
enough to win. He covered lots Of ground
but had trouble in handling McLean's
speedy returns Throughout the match
the winner depended upon his net work
to pull him through, and at this style OF
play he was at his best. although on any
number of occasions CheSley got by him
with pretty passes
Another good match was that between
Russell Griffith and F. J. Bates. Griffith
won the first set. S-6. This was the
longest one played, and it was a "hum.
mer." bringing out all kinds Of fancy
work. Bates, who is one of the hgh-class
local men was at his best, but he met
his match in the big New Yorker The
match was one long, rapid rally after
another. and the gallery was kept on its
toes all the time. After Griffith had taken
the first one. Bates seemed to be abou,
"all in" and lost the next, 60. This enc
was better than the score would
indicate. but Griffith's superior steadiness
at critical times gave him the long side
of the score.
Drawings for the mems singles, conso-
| lations. will be made this evening and
play started in this class tomorrow after
noon at ) o'clock. The consultations of
this year will be almost as good as the
cal thing. with such players as Flournoy.

ALOYSIUS CLUB MEET.
High Glass Cinder Path Artists En-
tered for Memorial Day Events.

Considerable activity is being display
ed among the members of the Aloysius
Club in preparing for their athletic meet
which is announced for Memorial day at
Gonzaga Park. Manager Powers of the
track team has charge of the meet and
Is confident of success.
In connection with the meet, which will
be the first held under the auspices of
the club. the athletic committee of the
club desires to call the attention of the
amateur athletes Of the city to- the fact
that the closing day for entries is fast
approaching.
Numerous entries have been received
and more are expected from the leading
amateur athletic clubs of Baltimore and
Washington. and the interest in the events
would seem to indicate that the meet
is to be one of the most successful ever
held in the District.
The Washington C. C. Club the Ire
| mont Athletic Club, together with the
Washington Grove organization. the Bal
timore c. c. Club and the AlOysius Club
! A. A. are to enter all OF their best men
and many Of their second teams as well
The high schools of Baltimore and
Washington will have numerous members
| in the games. and it is expected that the
scholastic events as well as all the open
and handicap events will be hotly con-
tested.
| The events for novices. namely, the 100.
yard dash and the 6C0-yard run Goth
scratch). have appealed very strongly to
those athletes who have never won any
prizes at running any distances. From
present indications it is fair to assume
! that much fast material will be on the
mark to contest these events.

WEIGHT PROBLEM.
Taking OFF Flesh Hard Matter for
Pugilists.

NEW YORK, May 16-Taking OF
weight in order to make the beam tip at a
certain notch has long been one OF the
hardest tasks undertaken by pugilists In
training. There is so much at stake in
modern glove contests that first-class
boxers generally stick close to their
weight limits rather than concede avoir-
dupois to challengers who cannot reduce.
The dispute between Packy Mcfarland.
the great Chicago lightweight, ana
Freddie Welsh Of England is a case in
point. Probably the best boxers in this
class. they have been wrangling over
difference OF two pounds. Mcfarland
has insisted upon 135. weighing seven
hours before entering the ring, while
Welsh has demanded 1913 eight hours be-
fore the handshake. Mutual friends have
tried to induce them to agree upon a
compromise to no purpose. the men be-
ing SO bitterly personal in their feelings
that arbitration has been impossible.
