PRINTERS NAY
YET PLAY in POST
SEASON GAMES
If Defeated in the First Contest at
Boston, Likely They VIII
Return Home.
OTHER. AMATEUR COMMENT

The Washington Union Printers. who
yesterday captured first prize in the
amateur day" celebration at American
League Park. may yet play in the post
sea son series.
The Printers won the title in the Mar
quette League. but as the typos tourna-
ment In Boston starts August IS. Just
about the time the local series begins, IL
was not thought that the Ink Singers
would be able 10 play for the District
championship.
While the Printers win leave here about
August Is, should they lose their first
series entirely. and In that event may
return TO the Capital in time to get in
the post-season games
Speaking OF that chance yesterday.
Manager Elicit, OF the Printers said:
We may get in the post-season series.
Tor II We lose at Boston. We VIII then
have time TO get back to Washington
In time to get in the local series. I don't
think We are going to lose at Boston
for this team has been hitting hard ali
season, and with Weaver doing the ma
jority OF the pitching. I figure that We
viii have more than an even chance TO
win
But. should We meet defeat in the
first game, then We might come back IN
stead of seeing the other games, and then
We will fight for the District champion
ship" continued the boss Of the Typos
Dusty Rhodes. the former star OF the
Sherwood team. may leave town with
the Cherokee Indians. as he pitched yes
terday for the club in Alexandria, beat
ing the a. B. C.'s by a 3 10 score, in
ten innings
Rhodes made quite a reputation pitch
ing amateur ball around town. and should
have little trouble holding his own with
the Indians.
The morning game at Union League
Park to-day between the Cherokee In
dams and the Post-Ottice team should
be a real ball game, as the Indians will
work Big Smoke against the local club.
and the Post Office team will more than
likely have a big fellow by the name
Of Walker. who worked out with the
Nationals before yesterdays game.
Two games Will be staged to-day in
the Independence League, the first -saa
starting at O'Clock. The Lof,ier team
will hook vp with the Pepco aggrega-
tiOn. and a battle royal is expected The
second fray will be between the Nation
ais and the Southland tribe.

The Athletics have blown.

The Athletics have blown.
In other words, the worlds champs
have shot their bolt
This seems to be the opinion of the
majority of bal players. outside OF the
Mackmen themselves. and a number of
well-informed and conservative baseball
writer's.
The St Louis Browns, visitors here
last week, among whom ere several
veterans. add with others their opinions
that the famous Mack machine will not
win the American League championship
this season.
Two double-headers were played be-
tween the Athletics and the Detroit
Tigers last week and the Mackmen could
only gain an even break. On the other
hand. Boston and Chicago hooked up in
the same number of games and the
White Sox lost every battle but one.
Unless Msck's young pitchers. Brown,
Pennock, and Houck, come through and
twirl phenomenal ball the Athletics will
te denied another chance at the worlds
series COIN. and the consensus of opinion
seems to be that the youthful fingers will
not be able to stand the pace.
Coombs, Plank. and Bender have not
begun to show the class which charac-
te-ized their work at this stage Of the
game last year, ana II tn6 AlnleIlcS are
to forge to the front as championship
contenders It would seem as IL their de-
iayed start had been fatal. II they ever
start at all.
Boston has such a commanding lead
and the team is playing such good ball
that the White Elephants are appar-
entity distanced, and experts say the
Mackmen win be lucky IL they beat out
Grin's Nationals.
Capital fans will see the Nationals In
action this week for a quartet or
games against the Detroit Tigers, ana
then will come the second western IN
yasion, when the local club will be on
the road until August a. and the out
come of this trip will determine whether
or not the Climbers have a Iook-in Tor
the pennant.
Next Thursday, or Immediately after
the last Detroit game here, the Nation
ais will hustle for the train and hike
for Cleveland. Friday is an on day,
and one of rest for the Climbers. but
on Saturday a double-header VIII be
played against the Maps. Followed by
three more during the next three days.
Then comes Detroit, Chicago and st.
Louis in the order named, or seventeen
games in all. as Cleveland is the only
city where double-header will be pulled
on.
Barring accidents there Is every rea-
son to believe that the Climbers will
run away with the majority Of their,
games In the West. or course nobody
expects another grand clean up as was
the case during the memorable trip In
June, but Grin figures that the Ma
tionals should get away with three out
OF four. or an even break at the least
In every Western city. and II such
proves to be the case. the club will re-
turn home right upon the heels OF the

BUCKBECGERHURT
OUT OF THE GAME
FOR TWO WEEKS
Local Boy, Now with Atlanta Is
Hit by Batted Ball-Hand
Is Injured.
WAS PITCHING GOOD BALL

Buck Becker, the pride of the navy
yard, who has been pitching great ball
for the Atlanta club of the Southern
League. will be out of the game for at
least two weeks.
Buck was injured one day last week
by being hit by a pitched. ball. and there
is very little likelihood Of his working in
the box for at least two weeks.
Speaking of Bucks injury. the Atlanta
Journal says:
Buck Becker will be out of the game
for two weeks as the result of getting
his pitching hand in front of a line drive
from the bat of Capt. Charlie Starr, of
the Mobile Gulls. This is tough on Buck,
as be was pitching grand ball, and was
sure to win sufficient number of games
TO get another try-out in the majors at
the end of the season. 1t is hard on the
Crackers. too. and spoils what little
chance they had to climb up the ladder.
It begins TO look now like another cellar
position for the club at the wind-up."
Becker Going strong.
Since joining the Atlanta club Becker
has been doing wonderful work. and the
injury hits him at most inopportune
time. II is almost a certainty that had
Buck stayed in the game and pitched
the same kind of ball the remainder OF
the season he would be back with the
Nationals next spring, and then he would
have another chance to stick.
Bucks friends in the District are loyal
to the southpaw, and there are many
who claim that Buck will yet make
winner in the big show.
