F0RF|RST HONORS
Connie Doyle Defeats Col
ston, But Brother Loses
to Wagner.

Washington and Baltimore are even
today on the interCity tennis match,
the Monumental City representatives
having handily defeated the Wash
ington racquet experts yesterday in
Baltimore. The reason offered for
defeat by the Washington tennis
players is the fact that but half the
team was able to compete, substi-
tutes taking the places of Lee Nc
Clung, Cpshur Moorehead, Norris Nc
Lean, and l.. p. GrosvenQr.
Connie Doyle's defeat of Colston,
the Baltimore crack, was the feature
of the tourney. Doyle handily win
ming the first and third sets after
giving away TO the Baltimore player
in the second set. II. +. Doyle lost
to Wagner in his match in the
singles. The double matches were
productive of great sets between the
Doyles and the Colstons which were
won by the Washington men in
straight sets.

GROOM AT HIS BEST WHEN
FACING HEAVIEST FITTERS

Gandil and perished. His last time up,

third base. he stood there and looked
at a third strike dart across the pan

fooled most impressively
Ping Bodie Joke.
Out in Chicago the South Side bugs
are always pulling for Ping Bodie to
shove the pellet over the garden wall.
The organ grinder from Frisco does
do this occasionally. too, but never
when Bob Groom is on the mound
against him. Then Ping curls up and
dies, slowly and gracefully.
The great Ping Bodie, killer of op-
posing pitchers, slaughterer OF the
best curves and fast ones, is a verita-
BILE joke when compelled to swing on
that side-arm curve ball of Groom's.
He goes out for them like a fisherman.
Even when he happens to land on one
it seldom rolls beyond the infield.
When the Climbers were in Chicago
this spring Bodie rolled four .puny
little grounders to Mcbride in a row,
He never had a chance.

Sam Crawford Is One of
Sir Roberts Principal
Victims.
By SENATOR"

Sir Robert Groom, the elongated, at
tenuated toothpiCk twtrler, backed by a
hitting team, has come into his own.
He is at his best when facing the
leagues greatest hitters. He is now
looked upon as the second best pitcher
On the Climbers staff, johnson alone
excelling the splinter pitcher.
There are at least four of the leagues
mightiest sluggers who seldom cause
Groom much trouble, though they
pound and hammer and bump the offer
ings of other pitchers to a fare-you-
well. The lank lad winds his perplex-
ing curves around their wands, makes
them fish for his wide benders and
breaks their backs trying to land on his
splitter.
Sam Crawford. the aged slugger of
the Detroit Tigers, is Groom's principal
victim. Crawford is disgusted from the
start when he knows that Bob Is on the
mound for the Nationals against the
Tigers, for Sam is very we'll aware that
another day is going by without his
doing anything.
Proofs Are Many.
Proofs are many of the marvellous
power Groom holds over the head of the
Tigers greatest swatter. Even last
year, when the Nationals looked like a
representation from an old soldiers
home, the long lad fooled and toyed
boob from the grass lands.
This season 1t has been the same story,
and no man on the field was so happy
when Groom was banished from the
mound in Detroit by the umpire than
the pudgy gardener of the Tigers. He
had got rid of his worst foe and might
hope for bingle or two, though he got
none.
Ty Cobb, the Incompatible. is another
of Groom's victims. Cobb is terror
to most pitchers, particularly to those
who cannot field their positions or have
little control. When going right Groom
control Is excellent and he knows what
to do with grounder sent his way, be
it fast or slow. Oh yes, Ty gets hits
now and then off Groom, but he counts
them mighty lucky ones and makes nc
boasts about them.
When pitcher can go into a game
reasonably certain OF stopping two oi
his best hitting opponents his chances
for victory are more than good There.

Can't Feaze Schaefer.

Herman Schaefer just can't be feazed.
He won't be- that's all there is to it.
During one of the Philadelphia de-
feats he went to bat for Joe Engel and
rooter in the upper tier joshed him
in a loud voice. Who's the batter?
Who's the batter?, Who is he? ] know
him, but who is her" he shouted.
SChaefer paid no attention to his tor
mentor, but cracked out double to the
fence in center field. When the inning
was over he walked past the rooter,
and, looking up at him, There he is,
but who Is he? l don't know him. Who
is he?'
That particular fan, a pest all day
until that moment, subsided thereafter.
Delighted With Shank5.
Howard Shanks' fine work, both at
bat and in the field, has earned him a
reputation in Philadelphia, even as it
has all over the frontier section of the

Where's this Shanks?" asked one
fan of another within hearing of the
writer. Il came out today just to sec
him. From all I've read about him, he
must be another Ty Cobb"
That was the day the lad tried to
knock the cement wall down in left
field running for a foul fly, and later
ran up the banking and pulled down a
sure triple. and the rooter was one OF
the first to start the applause for the
