PRESENT DIFFERENT
FROM ONE YEAR AGO
One Record Already Broken
by Griff's Revised
Crew.
By SENATOR"

Have the Nationals improved this
year over that devoted band OF Grip
pies toted around the land by Jeems
Robert McAleer?
Are the Climbers faster on their feet
than the veterans of 1911? Do the rec
ords prove It?
Are the Climbers. even with their
marvellous winning streak, better hit
ters than the 1911 athletes representing
the Capital?
This time last year the Nationals
stood seventh in the league and had
higher. The team lacked spirit. was
discouraged in the face of the enemy.
Players with regulations in the past
were not living up those regulations.
They had won twenty-four games, but
forty-four had been dropped. They
were in a rut, and knew 1t.
Now Are Fourth.
Now the Climbers repose beautifully
in fourth place. Indeed, until the last
few days they were in second place,
with a chance of reaching the top of
the ladder. Their clashes with the
Mackmen have somewhat stirred them
from their lofty rating, but most Of the
fans feel sure that they will be at least
as high as third again.
Whereas the 1911 team never was
considered a contender even for the
leading position in the second division,
this years outfit Is believed to have a
chance to land the banner. 1t is almost
certain to finish among the first four.
thereby establishing a record for a
Washington ball club.
One record has already been made
by the Climbers, a mark TO stand for
many a day. When they made their
glorious ramble through the West this
spring, they set record to be aimed
at by the best teams in the land fol-
many seasons. They cleaned up every
game they played in the West and came
home with sixteen straight victories tc
their credit, a marvellous thing. too

posed largely Of lads without major
league experience.

Accepting dates for amateur day and
holding the event are two different
things, according to the fans today.
The members Of the commission and
Manager Griffith are satisfied with q
tentative date for the amateur eveit
which has been slated for July 8, but
the. teams and their managers are yet
torbe heard FROM
Manager Griffith Is reported as being
tentative date for the amateur event,
on july 9 and members of the commits
sion will do all they can to help out the
idea. The fact that there were two
postponements which necessitated TAX
ing days off from work with a loss of
pay is going to mitigate against the
chances of bringing all the amateurs
out again.
1t is more than probable, according
to many of the amateurs that the par
ade will be held and that muny of those
who werc slated to take part in the
affair will turn out. Many feel that
they cannot afford to lose time from
their work The whole trouble lies in
the fast that the members Of the COM
mission we're unable to notify all of the
teams when the parade was called off
last week.
Sunday baseball is being tried in the
Independence League today. This is

Eighteenth Straight

winning yesterday from tie Boston
Braves. to 6, landed his eighteenth
successive victory. equallirg the record
of Charlie Radbourne in 1884 and Nick
ey Welch in 1885 in number of straight
wins. However. "Old Hoss" Radbourpe
made his in consecutive days, some
thing never to be equalled. In 1890 AL
Luby, of Chicago, won twenty straight
games and Marquard Is out to better
that mark.
Though defeated. the Braves made
more runs than any other team has
made of Marquard this season. The
big southpaw tired under the blazing
sun and his opponents scored three runs
in the last two innings. He allowed
eleven hits, but the Giants clouted
Buster Brown and the result was
never in doubt.

Should Finish High.

ShoeAN AAABh.
The Climbers should finish high this
year. They seem certain to land in the
first division. a great achievement for
Clark Griffith in n single season. He
has taken a team of which he knew
little or nothing an1 has made 1t a con-
tender for high honors. In another year
or so he should reach even gerater
heights.
Today the Climbers ere fully so per
cent stronger than the Nationals of
1911. The writer travelled with the Nc
Aleer troupe last season. and can truth
fully say that there Is no comparison
between the attitudes Of the two teams,
rather Is there a contrast.
Youth makes for confidence. and the
Climbers are youngsters. They haven t
been the "houn' dawg" OF the American
League for years and always expecting
defeat. They should recover from their
present slump. and. with Daredevil"
Dan Moeller and Ray Morgan back in
the battle line, should win enough games
this season to land them in third or
fourth place at the end of the cam
paign. Anything higher would be a
miracle.
