Special Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, June 26.-Manager Nc
Aleer stated this morning that he might
use Walker in the game this afternoon
Johnson will probably pitch one Of the
games tomorrow. The manager Of the
team Is blue. but he says the only re-
deeming feature is the fact that the play
ers are not clubbing the games away by
pad fielding Maybe it would be good
thing if they did get in and throw one
away with about fourteen errors" He
continued: 1T might divert their atten-
ton from the manner in which we are
losing at the present time. Weak pitch
ing and weak batting are hurting US.
The players of whom / expected most
are doing least, and yet l haven't given
up hope, for there is no telling when
a change will come There is more in
this matter of base ball luck than people
think, and if we get some of the games
breaking for US we may be able 10 hold
them There is not much doubt that
the failure of Cunningham to meet the
expectations of last fall has made a
great difference with the Washington
manager He was quite sure that he
had a coming second baSeman, and there
were plenty of others who felt the same
way. The showing which was made DS
Cunningham in the latter part of the
season was better than that of any other
youngSter who broke into the American
League, but, in spite OF every endeavor.
he seems to be unable to strike the gait
with which he could travel in 1910.
II am going to give Walker every
chance in the world on the Washing
ton team 'sa id McAleer." The boy Is one
of the fastest outfielders who has ever
been picked out of a green club, since
1 have been in the American League.
and to the best of my recollection l
have been in the organization for a
few days. He knows where to go for
a ball and gets under it. lie knows
where to throw, which is more than
can be said for some outiel1ers who
have had years of experience in the
major leagues; and he throws to the
spot. If he were only sure batter he
would be- one of the sensations Of
1911. He hits the ball. bIt he hasn't
learned the knack OF stepping into it,.
Experience may teach him that. A
smart ball player picks up a great deal
when he steps from country league
to a major league, and Walker looks
to me like a smart player.
Three or four of my players have
slowed up like the mischief in the last
ten days. said McAleer. and L don't
know how to account for it. l know
they are behaving themselves, because
they aren't the Kind that bother to do
otherwise. but they have lost thei.
speed. l hate to think that tney are
growing old, but there Is certainly
something the matter with them.

A|ee Gives Reasons for Nationals Poor Showing in Pennan Race
McALEER ADMITS HIS
VETERANS ARE SLOWING UP
Jimmy Says He Hates to Think They Are
Growing Old, But There Is Some
thing the Matter With Them.

I Ten days must elapse before Ainsmith
can think of playing bail. His enforced
vacation may be even longer The spikes
severed an artery just below the instep.
That is why the wound bled so prOfusely.
1t looked when the catcher was being
carried from the field as If he might
never play ball again. 1t has been many
a day III base ball in New York since
there has been an exhibition which pos
sessed so much realism of battle. Lucky
for Ainsmith that it was no worse. al
though it is not likely that he would
care to repeat the experience.
Perhaps Ford will pitch today's game,
and perhaps he will be held over till to-
morrow. Ford has not been in the city
for some days. Ever since he hit Corha n
in the head he has not been himself.
The shock of seeing the player fall as if
he were dead preyed heavily on Ford S
nerves. Big Bill Devery. who is the
godfather of the Highlanders. invited
Ford to go to Far Rockaway and take
1t easy on his country place and Ford
went. The salt air and the freedom from
base ball excitement. it is thought. will
do him good. The accident unnerved
Ford SO that he voluntarily stated that
in his life without exercising the greatest
care. The injury to Corhan is another
argument against the needless spit ball.
Some OF the Washington players think
the Highlanders are playing little above
their speed. Street says they won't keep
up their present gait all of the year.
The funniest thing during the series
is the effort of some of the New York
newspaper men to exploit the run made
by Chase in the johnson game as a great
discovery in base ball. "Chase's new in
&c ha 70
Invention" and new are both good.
All that Chase did was to try to draw
a throw from the catcher to second base.
and Mike Kelly used to do that before
some of these chroniclers of new inven-
tions had finished with the milk bottle.
If Street had bluffed Chase back toward
second by taking a step or two before he
threw the ball and then thrown Chase
never would have tried to steal third and
might have had his troubles to get back
to second. BY and by somebody. will

as such a change can be made. Cincin-
natl has been sweet on Leach for several
years and has made several efforts to Sc
cure his release, but has never been able
to induce the Pittsburg club to part with
him. Now that the Pirates stand a chance
of getting a pitcher like Moore, there Is
at least hope for the three-cornered deal
to go through Moore would do much to
strengthen the Pittsburg team. He would
be just the man to bolster up that pitch
ing staff and give the Pirates chance
to win another pennant.
Bill Cunningham has earned for him.
self the reputation of being the greatest
disappointment in the history of the
American League. Cunny's work last
fall was of such a high order that 1t
was generally conceded McAleer had
picked up a younsster who was sure to
be star. He hit and fieded and left
little to be desired for in his playing.
That was last fall. but this spring it
is different. Cunningham's record would
probably show that he has struck out
more often than any other player in the
circuit. not even barring the pitchers.
He seems absolutely unable to connect
with the ball, and yet ne has a good
position at the plate and does not pull
away an inch. Cunninghams batting
suggests that there is some fault with
his eyes, for he seems to hit at the
ball either before IL reaches him or long
AFTER IL mas passed MIN. Inc OIL
Cunningham TO play up to his last years
standard has been a severe blow to the
team; of that there is no doubt. Had
he held up has end numerous switches
in the infield would not have been neces-
sary. and ii team which is always
changed about seldom plays steady base
ball.
Brooklyn had a winning team up to the
time that Ned Hanlon severed his con-
nection with that team, but it was not
the going of Hanlon which weakened
that aggregation as much as the loss OF
all OF its star players. Bill Dahlen IS
not making a success of his regime there
simply because he lacks the material.
Hanlon went from Brooklyn to Cincin-
natl, but he did not have a good team
to manage there and made failure
of it. Since then the Cincinnati club
has had several managers and spent sew
eral hundred thousand dollars for playing
material, but its team is still down in
the second division. Somehow or other
no one has been able to get winning
combination in Cincinnati, though the
books would probably show that no
other club ever spent money more lav-
ishly than the Cincinnati club in an eff
fort to get a winner.
