I feat the Red and White two games in
i succession, which 1t would have to do to
| win out.
1 There was one part of the Maryland
Aggies' meet which deserved a lot of men,
| ton and received none. Jimmy Mulligan's
| work as starter. The former George
| town man got the athletes away from
/ their marks in every event as perfectly
4 as II they had been straining at the
same leash. There was not a single in
stance where a runner stole even the
\ least bit. and 1t was not because the
stunt was not tried Several times men
who were too eager on their marks had
to be set back a yard, and sometimes
two yards, for attempts to beat the gun.
| The Potomac Electric Power Company
will try conclusions with the National
\ Athletic Club in the Independence League
4 this afternoon. The Pepco nine has hard
~ been playing up to its standard In the
| Independence League this season, as II
has had to present a patched lineup in
almost every game II has played.
The team this afternoon will probably
be strengthened to a considerable extent
| by the addition of Shipley, the Maryland
Agricultural College lad, who has had
a try-out with the Worcester club in the
New England League. While it is pos
sible that Shipley will not play this after
| noon, as he has been Ill for the past
week, he will be with the power COM
pany team in every game afterward.
| Georgetown hardly played up to the
| standard that was expected Of it In its
i last two contests Neither Yale nor
/ Fordham looked good enough to beat
/ Georgetown on the occasion of their
| visits here, and that they should defeat
| the Blue and Gray as decisively as was
the case last Friday and Saturday was
decidedly surprising.
Georgetown has but three more games
| on it's schedule. Today 1t Is scheduled
/ to mbet the University Of Hawaii nine,
| its opponent, while Wednesday the Notre
Dame team will be seen on the Hilltop.
/ While the Hflltoppers should win to-
/ days game with the Chinese team, 1t IL
| by no means certain that 1t will show as
well against Washington and Lee and
i Notre Dame. Washington and Lee has
one Of the best college base ball teams
| in the south, and Notre Dame generally
/ is represented by fast aggregation. The
| last time the western nine appeared here
| 1t defeated one Of the Blue and Gray's
best teams by a score of something like
| 10 to 2.
| The Maryland Aggies and Gallaudet are
| scheduled to play Wednesday at Kendall
| Green. The last time that the Farmers
| met Gallaudet, II was in the first game OF
| the season, the Kendall Greel nine was
| defeated In Ave innings.
The Maryland Agricultural College off,
l Gals who had charge OF the meet held
| there Saturday deserve q whole lot OF
praise for the work done in making the
/ games such a success. 1t WAS one OF the
\ best outdoor meets ever held in this
| section. and the majority of the credit
| should 20 to the men who worked stead
\ lily to perfect the conditions as near as
| possible.

.P|ML|CO'S WIND Up
IS NEAR AT HAND
Preakness Handicap and
Other Good Features
Yet to Come.

BALTIMORE. Md. May 13.-Pimlico
begins the last leg of its meeting today.
1t has been the most successful spring
meeting, all agree, that has been held in
years. The attendance has been large,
the racing good and the quality Of horses.
while not up to the average Of past sea-
sons, has been better than that at any of
the other race courses.
The effect of anti-racing legislation in
various states is beginning to be felt in
all parts of the country. There are, of
course, many high-class thoroughbreds
left, but the number has been very ma
terially reduced, with the result that
have been able to get in the money a
few years ago.
The racing Saturday was probably the
most notable of the meetfng-notable par
ticularly for the victory of horses that
are owned by millionaires. Henry Payne
Whitney who Is racing an extensive
stable in England; August Belmont and
Charles r. Fleischmann of Cincinnati
captured majority Of the events, which
shows that even with the encouragement
that has come to the sport, racing still
holds influential and wealthy patrons.
captured undoubtedly by the best horse,
was disappointing to the people of BaItf-
more and Washington. Billy Garth had
counted on winning the event with one Of
his trio of entries, but while Lace had
some excuse, there is no question that
Rock View was far the best. Lace bucked
her Shins during the running and pulled
up sore after the finish 1t Is likely
she will not be seen again under colors
until after the Toronto meeting. But
Garth had little to complain of, for Little
Hugh, a colt he bred himself, was second
and bids fair to train into a real good
one.
The remaining three days Of the meet
ing Will provide some excellent sport
winding UP with one of the big racing
features of the spring season in the run
ming of the Preakness handicap, a race
Tor three-year-olds, at a mile and an
eighth. Handicapped Bryan has adjusted
the weights nicely, and the Preakness is
sure to be very interesting contest It
is likely that there will be ten or a dozen
horses at the post. August Belmont
Tipsand, in the light of his victory Sat
urday, is looked upon with much favor
by trainers. but Light O. My Life, Bwana
Jumbo and Cherry Seed all have friends
Other good races are on the program
for the remaining days. The Green Spring
Valley steeplechase will be run on Tues
day, along with the Maryland Club purse
while on the closing day there will be, in
addition to the Preakness. the Consolation
steepaechase and the New Howard purse

BY j. ED GRuLo.

Though the Nationals have lost five of
the last six games played the team still
has a percentage Of 500, and il 1t can
! retain that mark to the finish Of the sea-
son there will be no reason for complaint.
II would be the first time in the history
of Washington team to make SO good a
showing in the American League, and
an even break on the seasons schedule
would assure the team a higher position
in the race than ii has ever held before.
After winning ten Of the sixteen games
from their eastern rivals, the Nationals
were expected to make q good showing
against the western teams, but judged
from the poor start which the team has
made against the invaders this is now
out OF the question. Six games have
been played with Chicago and Cleveland
and but one of these has been a victory.
Three more remain to be played with the
Maps. Then come st. Louis for four and
Detroit for three.
In order to get an even break with the
western teams 1t would be necessary for
the Nationals to win seven out OF the
remaining ten games. and that is hardly
to be expected. There has been per-
ceptible falling OFF in the teams work
during the past week. Its general play
ing has not been up to the standard 1t
set earlier in the campaign, and while
it's recent showing may be but a tenn
porary slump. 1t stands to reason that
there will have to be marked improve
ment II II hopes to retain its present per-
centage in the standing.
The teams principal weakness Of late
has been it's inability to hit with men on
the bases. In every one Of the Chicago
games opportunities for victory were in
sight on several occasions. but the drive
which would have turned the tide was
conspicuously absent Early in the sea-
son the team was fortunate to get hits
when 1t needed them, and which was
really responsible for the victories 1t
scored at that time.
Dixie Walker will in all probability
be pitfed against the Maps this after
noon. While nothing definite Is known
as to which of his pitchers Manager
Davis will select to oppose him. 1t Is I'M
derstood that Blanding stands the best
chance. The game will he called at 3 80.
The chances are that the Nationals
pitching staff will look more formidable
by the end of this week than 1t has in
some time. Tom Hughes is slowly get
ting back into form and he expects to be
able to take his regular turn on the rub
Der within the next few days. Hughes
gave every indication this spring of being
