The coming visit of the western teams
should furnish a good line on the Ma
tionals. Having won a majority of games
they played with their eastern rivals, 1t
remains to be seen how they will stack
up against the teams from the west
On paper these teams look no stronger
than the eastern teams. In fact, when
the fact is taken into consideration that
there are three eastern teams in the
first division. while there is only one
western team there, 1t would appear that
the east has something on the west. but
the coming clash will decide this.
Washington opens here with Chicago
tomorrow. The White Sox are leading
the race and are touted as being much
stronger team than they have been in
recent years. The four games the team
will play here are bound to keep the Ma
tionals busy. Tomorrow it is likely that
Walter Johnson and Big Ed Walsh will
be the opposing pitchers and this ought
to be- struggle worth going miles to
see. 1t is possible for the Nationals
pass the Sox in the race during the
series, though this would require win
ming squirt which is hardly to be hoped
for.
If Griffith can win at Philadelphia today
his team will be just two games behind
the leaders and that could be overcome
by winning three out of four from the
Sox, though that is not going to be an
easy task.
Unless the Athletics take a sudden
brace today there is a. good chance for
the Nationals to beat them. Mack's team
showed poorly against the taii-end
Yankees last week and will have to play
better ball to beat the Nationals. Dixie
Walker will pitch today and while his
work to date has not been Of the best,
he is confident that he has struck his
stride.
While the present position Of the Ath-
letics in the race has created some fear
among the followers Of that team. there
is consolation in the fact that that team
has a better standing now than it had
a year ago, and there Is significance In
the fact that Chicago which Is leading,
is not near as far in front as was Detroit
at this stage a year ago.
Nothing that has happened to Clark
Griffith this spring has pleased him
more than the good showing Jerry
Akers made in the game Saturday. 1t
means that Akers will be used regu-
larry from this ont. and if he can pitch

is such thing as cure. A tendon
in his groin is torn, and as this is the
second time 1t has happened. Lajoie's
future is very much in doubt The
absence Of the big Frenchman. and the
fact that Joe Jackson is not hitting as
was expected. puts the Maps in a bad
way, and unless there is an unexpected
brace in their work. the team promises
to be greater disappointment than
ever before
Del Gainor of the Tigers is an unfortu-
nate young man. Last spring he had his
wrist broken at a time when he was 60
ing at a terrific clip and the Tigers were
leading. and few days ago he sprained
an ankle going into a bag and will prob
ably be out of it for a month or so. AS
Jennings team is going it cannot afford
to have any of it's valuable men idle
and the loss of Gamer is sure to be felt.
Beginning tomorrow the Nationals have
fifteen consecutive games to play on their
own grounds. Four each with Chicago,
Cleveland and st. Louis and three with
Detroit. After that the team goes on
long trip which lasts over a month and

In commenting on the remarkable num-
Der Of injuries to base ball players this
| year. Sporting Life winds up an edi-
| torial by saying: What is the matter
with the modern athlete that he should
appear so deficient in stamina, courage
and toughness. compared with the nat
! ural player of the last generation?" This
| is not a hard question to answer. The
| reason for the number of injuries lies not
| in any deficiency IN stamina, courage or
| toughness, but rather in the abnormal
| lust for speed. Players must stand up
| to the plate with boldness and face a
ball which comes whizzing by almost
with the speed of bullet; they must run
bases with daring and abandon: they
must take desperate chances in fielding
| and blocking off runners. Otherwise,
| the thumbs of the fans would turn
down, and the players would be doomed
| to the minors. Base ball is growing to
| be almost as strenuous as foot ball.

NATIONAL LEAGUE GAMES.
Cincinnati Continues Winning.

ST. LOUIS. May 6.-Struggling through
many strenuous episodes yesterday. the
Reds made 1t their sixth straight victory.
Tightening their hold on the leadership
Of the league. The contest was a weird
affair, in which seven pitchers had to be
used four by the Reds and three by the
Cardinals.
Hitting all alike, and profiting hugely
by bases on balls. one side would first
take the lead and then the other, and the
contest was not decided until Miller Hug
gins. coming up with the bases full in
the last half of the ninth, and only two
runs needed to tie, lifted short fly to
center. The final score was II to 8, and
the Reds had a close shave to preserve
their clean record against the fighting
Cardinals.
The batting Of Hoblitzell, Ellis and
Konetchy featured, the former making
five hits out of as many times at the
bat. Ellis got a triple and two home
runs. while Konetchy made double.

The average ball player whose ability is
such as 10 make him stand out from his
teammates seldom is popular with them.
for the reason that he considers himself
above them. With few exceptions star
ball players usually bring about a condi-
ton on a team which proves detrimental
To IT'S success. Walter Johnson, however
is a player who differs from most stars in
this respect Were it left to a vote OF
the players he would be unanimously
chosen as the most popular man on the
team. and it's all because of the ideal
disposition of the young man who holds
the distinction of being the greatest
pitcher in the game today.
Johnson's success has never affected his
head. He is wearing the same sized hat
today that he wore the evening he re-
ported here from Weiser, Idaho. lie does
not consider himself above obeying orders
arrd never objects to anything he is told
10 do But. best of all. Walter is loyal to
his team and his teammates. He roots
hard for the other pitchers. and has
never been known TO complain when
errors have lost him bali game.
Johnson's disposition is as valuable to
him as that wonderful pitching arm and
there is never a time when every man on
the team with him is not trying to do
everything possible to help him win.
Clarke Griffith is being given credit for
the team which Cincinnati has in the Ma
tional League race this year for the rea-
son that there is hardly a player on it
that he was not responsible in bringing
there. The New York American hands
this bouquet to Griffith.
