DIXIE HAS PLAYED
HIS LAST GAME FOR
WASHINGTON CLUB
"Pm Through With Him for
h Good" Says Clark
NJ Griffith.
By SENATOR"

BOSTON, May 30.-Dixie Walker has
pitched his last game OF ball for Clark
Griffith, He has been ordered to return
to washington and to await there the
disposition that will be made OF him.
Griffith declines to have anything fur
! ther to do with him. He believes all
his experiments have failed and that
Walker had consistently failed to. do his
best for the interests of the club.
II am done with Walker" said Grif-
fifth to the writer. He is going back
to Washington now, and as soon as /
can place him, shall sell him. I don't
want any players on my club who re-
fuse to do the best they can at all
times, and under all conditions.
Groom was hit hard today, but Groom
gave all he had. He is sincere and Is
always trying, no matter how the score
may be; that's the type of player
want around me, the hard-working. sin
cere player. ..
Il have done everything could think
Of to make Walker a good pitcher. My
schemes have all fallen through, and
they have fallen through because he
wouldn't do his share. So I am done
with him for good. He'll never pitch
another game Of ball for me. I'm done
with him now"
Walker is receiving little sympathy
from the other members of the team, all
Of whom are inclined to agree with
Manager Griffith that the big fellow
hasn't kept in good condition and hasn't
worked hard enough this season.
Gandil's debut, while unaccompanied
by brass bands, was impressive. The
new first basefnan handled himself
around the corner with the smooth
grace Of veteran. He hit the ball
hard and showed himself a fast man on
his feet. Manager Griffith was perfectly
satisfied with Gandirs work. II would
be interesting, though, could Gandil's
opinion of those two Nightmares yester-
day be obtained. He Is cautious and
smiles badly when reminded of that
double-header.

Finishing Touches on Track

BY HARRY WARD.

George 3. Shoemaker, former Wash

from New York, and will represent the
three AS at the automobile races at

maker. II note some of the best-known

The finishing touches were put to the
track yesterday, and everything is in
readiness for the meet, which is sched-
uled to begin at 2 o'clock More than
5000 gallons OF oil were spread on the
track. and 1t is said to be in good con-

three automobile races, there are six

In selecting today as the day to in
troduce the Henderson car the Hen
derson Motor Car Company, of Indian
apolis. has certainly chosen the red
letter day Of all motor enthusiasts. The
Henderson car will make its Official
Debut prior to the start today Of the
500-mile international sweepstakes race.
Gov. T. L. Marshall will officially
christen the Henderson and will take
the initial public ride in the FIRST car
bearing the Henderson namepIafe. The
manner in which other Indianapolis
automobile factories are welcoming the
Henderson is remarkable, for the In
diana capital ranks second only to De-
troit in the motor car industry This
friendly relationship Is undoubtedly due
to the fact that every member of the
Henderson Motor Car Company's or
ganization is old in the automobile
business. This is particularly true Of
r. p. Henderson, general manager, and
Chester Kicker chief engineer, for there
are probably no two men in the industry
who are better known in all the auto
mobile factories Of this country.
