Washington's Leap Out Of the
Cellar Amazes Baseball Fans
Clark Griffith Demonstrates That Magnates Who
Hampered Him Were Cause Of His,
Former Failures.
By ". J. Macbeth

is that sterling center fielder, Clyde
Milan
Milan has given Ty Cobb black
eye such as the Georgian peach has
never before suffered in fast company.
Grifhth's center section of the outer
defense this year makes Ty Cobb look
like a truck horse on the bsgs In
comparison. Never in fis palmIest
days did Cobb display the base-run-
ming class that Milan has exhibited,
and this In spite Of the fact that
Cobb Is slugglng at far more steady
clip than his little rival. Il IL true
that Milan's batting. which exceeds
the classic 300 notch. entit1es him
to a place In the Ornament of great
outfielders. but It Is his wonderful
base running that commands chief
respect. Between Clyde and @'Shos-
less Joe" Jackson OF the Maps. the
modern Goliath has been ahorn Of his
locks.
TOR the past several seasons Milan
has been good-far above the
average value OF outflelders- He
did not shine this year. simply be-
cause he met with nothing 1ike the
same encouragement Here's Tho DIFF
ference-the difference between q
hopeless tailender and real pennant
possibility. That saIne difference
lifted ten years from the stopped
shoulders of Griffith, has made wal
ter Johnson take on a new lease Of
life and given Herman ('Dutch")
Schaefer new line Of chin goods.
Washington stands out as q living
example OF that degree to which luok
figures In the national pastime. No
one will deny Griffith was lucky to
get Washington, and Washington
likewise lucky to get Grin. When
the Old Fox took hold OF the Nation
ais the Capital city boasted Just four
players outside the pitchers-Milan,
80 giowingly referred to above:
Catcher Ainsnith. shortstop Mcbride
and Comedian Germany Schaefer
Grifht1 may be considered lucky To
have picked from his recruits such q
coterie of stnrs as Foster, Moeiler
and "Chick" Gandii-men who htted
right In with the veteran nucleus 60
form the strongest aggregation that
ever represented Washington. But
was Ii luck after all7
All these narvels were up IN fast
company before. but were turned back
as lacking the vital spark. That
Griffith has them hooked up SO we'll
may possibly be due to managerial
acumen and genius-do you not think
so? For all things come to him who
waits"

LUCAS EXPLAINS WHY
HE BAN|SHED COOLEY
President of Union Associa-
ton Says Salt Lake Magnate
Used Improper Language.

President ". Fl. Lucas Of the Union
league yesterday issued statement in
which he said that the joke abopt a
proposed attack on Umpire Wright, had
nothing TO do with his barring Dick
Cooley from Union league diamonds
indefinitely. Lucas said the sole cause
WAS the fact that Cooley used improper
language. Wednesday Lucas says, Cool
ey was warned he must not use such
language and Thursday when he re-
peated the offense, Lucas sent the let
ter barring him from the diamonds in
definitely.
Buck Weaver will probably be in
shape to manage the team again in q
day Of two, SO Lucas's edict is not
likely to prevent the skyscrapers from
staying In first place. When Cooley
was barred however, it left the team
without manager except Abbott and
Devereaux, both Of whom were playing
at the time.

Jeannette's interests have been as

''I want to show the world that
Jeannette is Langfords master over

Kettrick, and such being the case
the inference to be drawn is that
Jeanette prefers long bout to

I INDER the circumstances, 1t Is
not easy to figure that jean

Of subduing that clever ring man.
Champion Johnson, In ten rounds.
But beggars cannot be choosers and
as Jeannette has been begging for a
long time he must abide by New York
conditions and do the best he can.
Langford recently signed new
contract which Will keep him in AUS

him after Jeanette.
In the absence OF Langford It Is
likely that AL Palzer will be sent
against Johnson, and here is bout
that will excite more interest than any

Not that there is a prospect of
Palzer handling Johnson to better ad-
