REGULARS TO PLAY
BALTIMORE TO-DAY
Groom and Musser Will Do
the Twirling for Grif-
fith's Aggregation.
OTHER SPORT COMMENT

Manager Clark Grifith's first string
players meet the Baltimore International
Leaguers in Jack Dunn's Oriole park
this afternoon at $50 o'clock, and the
game should prove interesting.
Bob Groom and Paul Musser will do
the honors In the box for the Nationals.
and Ray Morgan is slated TO hold down
third base. as Baltimore is Rays home,
and the yOungster is popular there.
Manager Griffith will not accompany
the team. which will be in charge Of
Capt. George Mcbride. The trip will be
flying one. as the boys are to catch
the o'clock train out OF Union Station
and will dress at the Baltimore park.
They hope to get back In time for u late
dinner in the Capital.
On the Baltimore club is Bob Unglaub.
who played with the Nationals in 1903
and 1910 Unglaub Is covering third base
for the Orioles and hitting the ball hard.
Jake Gettman. who was also with the
Nationals back in the Wagner regime. is
with Baltimore.
Groom will probably work the first five
innings and Musser during the remainder
real test. and Grin Will be much inter-
ested to learn how the youngster handles
himself
The PhiIlies had their batting lamps
trimmed yesterday. and hammered Wal
ter Johnson hard. but the chances are
that as the game progressed the Nation
ais would have had a finger in the pie
and nobody can tell what the final re-
suit would have been.
Jerry Akers was more than anxious
10 try his luck. He said that his arm
felt better than at any time this spring.
and was sure he would have given a
good account OF himself
When IL comes TO ready Wit. you've
got to hand IL to Red Doom, the scrappy
Iuburn-haired manager OF the PhIlIfes.
During the game Thursday when Cash
ion had hit a trio OF batsmen and when
Dixie Walker started in to twirI. IL will
be remembered that Dixie cut loose with
fast one and plunked one Of the
Phillies in the arm. Doom. who was on
the coaching lines. yelled over to George
Mcbride: Hey, George. you've got some
good hitting pitchers on your club. all
right,
Tom Downey, the PhiIIles' second
sacker. played with Grifrs Cincinnati
Reds last season. Downey recently fig
ured In a trade and Is slated TO hold
down one Of the infeld jobs for the

Dave Bunting, the young infieldcr tried
out by the Nationals in Atlanta last
spring, and later turned over to Jesse
burkett's Worcester New England
League organization only to be drafted
by the Cleveland Maps, has been shifted
10 the New Orleans club of the South

game, hitting at a 500 clip and only
making one error.

RAIN HALTS GAME.
Tech-EpiscopaI Contest stopped in
Second Inning.

Alexandria, Va, May ss.-Rain put an
end to the Tech-Episcopal High School
game here to-day. 1t poured for fully
fifteen minutes, at the end OF which
time the field was such a sea OF mud
and water that a ball game was entirely
out of the question.
Up to the time of the shower no runs
had been scored on either side. The WIS.,
itors were surprised and amazed TO see
some Of the athletes at the school don
old clothes and slide up and down on
the fiat of their stomachs in the mud
and slime This, however, is a common
form. Of amusement among the local COL
legians after a heavy shower.

PHILLIES POUND
WALTER JOHNSON
Rain HaltS Ball Game in
Final Half of Third
Inning.
ONE HIT0FFALEXANDER
By WILLIAM PEET.

Red Dooln's PhiIIies gave a three-in.
ming exhibition Of high and lofty swat
ting in the Concrete Coliseum yesterday
afternoon, and then il began TO rain
some rain, believe us- The ball game
was called of. and most of the fans
were glad Of II. for the National
Leaguers had scored two runs. while
only one Griffite saw second base.
1t was Walter johnson against Alex
ander the Great, and if the truth be
told Walter got decidedly the worst of
the encounter, for the PhillIes raked him
for six hits including three doubles.
Alexander allowed one safety-a pretty
smash by George Mcbride, which netted
couple Of sacks
There is, of course, no telling how the
game would have resulted had il been
played out. Manager Griffith said that
his boys would have batted in enough
runs TO land on top. We have his word
for it, and Grif should know whereof
he speaks. as he has been travelling in
National League company during the
past three years.
johnson uncorked plenty Of speed and
mixed up a few slow ones. but the Phil
lies had little trouble hitting him. An
other remarkable feature Of the melee
was the fact that every ball hit into
safe territory was reither inside or out
side the plate In spite of all this Doon's
Daisies displayed mighty keen batting
amps
Alexander the Great looked fairly
good. He only pitched two innings, and
probably did not let out any more than
lid Johnson. With the exception of
Ila%ence Walker. who batted for John
son in the third. every member of the
local crew hit the ball, hut always into
some fielder's hands.
In the iinst inning, which was accom-
panied by a bright sun. the only sun
during the game. Downey led of with a
single Titus followed suit. Lobert
grounded to Ray Morgan. who threw out
DOWney ct the plate. Cravath walked.
Luderus raped 4 long single into center
field, and John Titus scored. Hans Lo-
bert evidently had not heard of Clyde
Milan, and could see no reason why he
shOuld not make a bold dash for the
plate. Lobert + probably sorry now. as
the ball came in from Milan as true as
die. and Al Williams neatly blocked
the DutChman at the plate. Paskert
closed the inning by striking out

The Washington herald., 1912-03-30

The Phillies are some hitters. They
started after Walter in the first. getting
pair of safeties.
George Mcbride sent a pretty double
| into right field in the second inning. but
his team mates could not get him across
with a run, as the following batsmen all
flied out.
Alva Williams surely blocked Hans Lo-
bert at the home plate in the first The
Quakers' third sacker tried to reach
home but the big National received Mi
Ian's perfect throw and nailed Lobert
by three feet
Ray Morgan was on third for the home
team yesterday and played well for the
short duration of the game. Morgan had
three flies TO handle while a high wind
was blowing. which made them difficult
10 judge, but the youngster was equal TO
the task on each occasion.
Rain started just as johnson was GO

but Reds Walker took Walters place.

more.
When the shower came in the third,
Groundkeeper Fitzgerald and his able
corps of assistants got busy with the
canvases and covered up the bare spots.
but their efforts were wasted, as It began
to pour in a very few minutes.
Mike DOolan made another error in
the short struggle yesterday. but imme
diately redeemed himself by a quick
throw to first which just caught Flynn.
Tom Hughes was coaching on third
while the weather was fair. but when
the rain came Tom ran back to the
bench. He did not care to chance his
rheumatism.
Clyde Milan all but caught Alexander's
two-base hit in the second. The ground
in the Outfield. which was still in a bad
way from last nights rain, hindered his
speed.
Hans Lobert was slightly spiked in the
hrst inning when Williams blocked him
at the plate. This failed 10 stop the
Dutchman. as he continued the contest
with plenty Of snap.

swing in the first, let his stick fly wild

out a single with the bases full.
Had the contest gone the full length.
Jerry Akers would have relieved johnson
in the box. He was TO have gone to the
mound in the fourth as Walker had
batted for Walter in the Nationals third.
Manager Reds" DOOM has certainly
been a victim OF bad weather this sea-
son. He is not the only big league leader
who can lament this misfortune.
