Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-04-03

| In his day Dahlen was one of the creates,
shortstops in the game. He played until
Il few years ago. when he accepted the
! - - - rnklyn club, where
he has made success.
There has been no let up in the Ma
tionais' training work since they re-
turned from Charlottesville. Griffith has
all hands out IN uniform every morning
from 10 to T. and a most strenuous
course of practice is INDUCED in. There
is not man in the squad who is not able
to give a good account of himself, barring
Ed Dent and John Henry. The latter is
doing lot of work now in an effort to
get himself in condition His knee is
bothering him but little. and he expects
to be ready to take his place behind the
bat before long.
There is no chance for Catcher Egan
of the Athletics being sent to Baltimore
or any other minor league club. Griffith
will prevent such a deal by refusing to
waive on the tall catcher. whom he fig
ures would come in handy for the Ma
tiOnals in the event that Henry should
be slow in getting into playing condition
For some unaccountable reason, Connie
Mack figures that he does not need Egan.
though he does not seem to want Griffith
to add him to his string of catchers.
According to reports. it is McGraws
intention to give two of his best pitchers
their final workout here to have them
ready for the opening of, the season.
Tesreau and Marquard are expected to
scheduled to play here Monday and Tues
day. They may work but five innings
each, but it will be their final workout
before the season opens. 1t is said that
Tesreau will be the Giants twirler on
the opening day
Harry Wolverton may not have been
able to do much with the Yankees, but
he certainly has put over new one on
the coast. In a recent practice game at
Sacramento he rang in deaf and dumb
umpire in the person of Dummy BAKER,
ball park attendant.
When the players found out that they
could not talk back to the Jump they
delegated Jack Bliss, one of the players
who knows the finger language, to tell
the deaf and dumb gentleman what they
all thought of his eyesight.
Hugh Jennings is not of the opinion
that Manager McGraw is sincere in his
instructions to the Giants not to ques-
ton the umpires decisions this season"
"McGraw may have given his men
those instructions, but an Irishman al
ways has the right of expressing sec
ond thought" says Hugh.
1.-The Tigers will be one team in 1913
that will not stand for incorrect decisions
on the part of umpires. When an UNI
pire makes mistake the fans or the
american LEAGUE CtIi ucpSiio oi II e'AeAI
my players will display their displeasure.
/ wouldn't give a Cancelled stamp for
man who would not assert his rights.
81 want players who will fight their
way through a league race. | want
band of scrappers, not collection OF
faltering youths. / do not believe In
starting a riot on a ball field, or any
thing that pertains to rowdyism. but
certainly do believe in having the spec
tators know that we will display vim
and ambition when our position is tram
pied upon.
The Eigers fought their way through
to three pennants and while L am lead
ing the team they will fight their way to
others. If they fail to win it will be
because a better team went out ahead.
It will not be because we were outgamed.
There isn't any question in my mind
but that umpires in the major leagues
give their rulings as they see them; but
we are all wrong at times and when we
are wrong others Immediately interested
have the right to correct us.
$50 it is with umpires."
