Tom Hughes expects to be able to
take his turn in the box by the Begin
ming or next week believing his injury
OF yesterday to be but trivial. In de-
liverinG the ball to Hugh Bradley, the
Red SoX first baseman, Hughes strained
a tendon in his left side, making It an
ilnpossibil!ty to continue. He tried sew
eral times to pitch a ball to the plate.
but found himself helpless.
Trainer Mique Martin got to work on
the strained tendon, and hopes to have
Hughes in shape by next week to pitch
his very best article Of ball. Until his
Injury Hughes was showing an effective
style on the mound and deserved a VIC
tory.
This injury to Hughes is the first real
OF the season. Other club have had
good men on the bench through illness
or injury, but Griffith has been fortr-
nate, Mcbride was spiked in an ex-
hioition game here by Josh Devore, the
Giants wee gardener, but he was able
10 play. Moeller hurt his leg In a col.

Veterans Will Twirl.
Manager Clark Griffith intends to sav=
his young pitchers for the Western
teams who\begin to appear in the East
next week. While the Red Sox arc
here they must face the best the Ma
tionels have.
II intended starting either Bochling
or Cashion against the Yankees" said
Griffith today to the writer but the
bad weather killed that. Now the Rod
Sox are here. and, being a better team
than the Kilties, they must face the
best we have on our team.
The Nationals are going to nut uD a
fight for every game this season. I'm
not going to put in experimental pitch
ers unless ! can't help myself, The Red
Sox will face the best best men l nave
in the box because | intend to take al
least three of the four games scheduled
here on this trip.
Chance for Kids.
when the Western clubs begin their
invasion of the East next week." con-
tnued Griff, perhaps the youngsters
Will have their chance. From all l cet
gather, Chicago is the best of the from
tier clubs. This should allow of CASH
ion, Becker. Akers, Engel, and possibly
Boehling or Musser. to get chance to
show their class.
I'm strong for the youngsters, re-
member, but l can't put them In when
1t Is almost foregone conclusion that
they won't make good. This is bad for
the team as whole. the fans who pay
koou iuOley 10 see tne game, ana Tor
the youngsters themselves. 1t makes a
youngster doubly confident when he can
look back to a victory"
Jim Mcclure, former manager OF the
Boston and Cleveland clubs will prob
ably remain with the Detroit Tigers
throughout the present campaign as a
coach for young twirlers. this being the
same work as Jack Ryan is doing foy
the Nationals. This Is the latest mau-
date of Hughey Jennings.
Capron Goes Back.
Fred Clarke, manager of the Pitts.
burgh National League Club, has sent
Capron, the former Michigan star quar-
terback, to the Milwaukee club of the
American Association, thinking he needs
more polish before becoming a big
league brilliant Capron was wonder
full player in his college days, both on
the gridiron and the diamond, and
should prove of great use to Hughey
Duffy and his Brewers.
Threatened with return to the min.
ors, Bert Daniels, the outfielder with
the New York Highlanders, has beGur
to show the hest form OF all the players
With the team. His hitting has i'm
proved, and so mas his fielding 1t IL
now in line for Wolverton to ask watv
ers on bunch of his pitchers. They
seem to need a little prodding.
With the Red SoX are T. Murnane
