Special to The Washington Herald.
Philadelphia, Pa, Sept 26.-Outhelder
Allen, the youngster recommended by
Scout Mike Kahoe, and purchased from
the Sharon club last summer. has been
ordered to report tomorrow. and will be
in uniform. There is Just a possibility
that Allen will get into one of the games
as the new league ruling requires that
| before waivers can be asked on a young
player he must have performed in one
or more championship games.
| Aliens home is in Grove City, Pa, and
Manager Griffith. in response to a letter
from the outfielder asking when he
should report, telegraphed the young
man to come at once
When it was learned this morning that
the worlds series would start on Tues
day. October s, Manager Griffith imme-
diately got in touch with Garry Her
mann and ordered thirty seats for the
opening game. Hermann was quick to
reply. and notified Grif that the seats
had been set aside for the Washington
baseball team. Every seat is paid for
| by the management, and as 1t Will ne
cessitate the boys staying over in New
York after the Nationals wind up the
season against the Yankees, hotel bills
will also have to be paid. and a rough
estimate of the cost of the treat pro-
vided by Manager Griffith for members
of his family places the figures at Sip
Every member of the squad. young
sters and veterans alike. will witness the
opening game of the big series at the ex-
pense of the Washington club. Manager
Griffith will know tomorrow definitely
whether or not his club is to play the
New York Highlanders in Hartford.
Conn. on Monday week. II is entirely
up to the New Workers. and there is
every reason to believe that Wolverton
will give his consent. Providing the
weather holds good this game should
draw a big crowd. and the money taken
in at the gate will be added TO the sum
already obtained in exhibition games dur-
ing the preset Mt trip.
To-day's tie game against the Mack.
men, which is the first played here this
season. will not be played of. although
there happens to be an open date IN
the American League schedule next
Wednesday. and it would be easy for
the Nationals to stop over in the Quaker
City while en- route for New York.
Grfff said tonight: My club has been
through a hard and nerve-racking cam
paign and ] am not going to force the
boys to play any more games than IS
absolutely necessary. as many OF them
are a trife stale right now.
Connie Mack may want me to come
here an play off to-day's tie next We'd
do so. and I do not intend to play
Griff refused to let Connie Mack pick
his pitcher for him to-day, and when |
the time came TO start the game Tom |
Hughes was on the rubber. 1t is claimed |
that Mack informed the newspapers that
Walter johnson would pitch for the Ma |
tionals. and the Kansas Cyclone was |
well advertised Griff. as matter of |
VI Tph hp
to-day. although he intimated to the |
war correspondents travelling with the !
club that the big fellow might go in. |
The Old Fox had it all doped out that
Tom Hughes would be able to stop the |
White Elephants to-day. which would !
give him Groom and johnson for to-
double-header. and but for the
sudden reversal of form displayed by
Hughes in the seventh inning. Walter
would not have pitched a ball. and Grin
only resorted to using Johnson in his
desperate attempt to beat the Athletics
out of second place. which is his fondest
hope right now. inasmuch as the pennant
IS lost to Washington.
Roy Reeves, the veteran baseball ex-
pert OF Phila delphia. told the writer to-
day that Griff had picked up a promising
ball player through the medium of the
1raft in Welchonce. the slugger from
the southern League. WelchonCe. at
one time wore the colors of the Phillies.
In speaking of Welchonce, Reeves said:
HE is big rangy chap, we'll over six
feet, fast on the bases, and can hit ,
ike a house afire. Welchonce lacked
experience, which was the reason the
Phillies parted with him. believe that
lie will make good with Washington
next year
In the event of rain tomorrow, and it i
ooks very much as If the skies might :
'esume leaking, the Nationals will leave J
or the Capital on the o'clock express.
-eaching Washington tomorrow night at {
80. II both games are played. the II
cam will board the 80 o'clock train
1t North Philadelphia, and arrive short
y before midnight.
