Christy Mathewson favors John Purroy
Mitchell for mayor, which recalls the fact that
Chrtsty, aged thirtytwo. is known as the "old
marster." while John Purroy, aged thirty-hve is
held by his opponents to be too young for the
mayoralty. All of which goes to show that even
politics is not strenuous as baseball

next week. the rockies will look like
rockies and nothing more. II Is Inn
possible to hide the class In the play
ers who established American League
records in 1872.
Despite the good work Of several OF
the youngsters here. not one seems to
outshfne the regular for his position.
Not one OF the new outhelders can show
Hank 9hanks or Danny Moeiler any
thing about playing the garden. At the
bat both lads look the equal Of the
Joe 0edeon burst forth like q shining
star when the FIRST practice game was
played here, but illness has kept him
out Of the practice and in that time Ray
Morgan and Frank Laporte have been
forssng to the front. Morgan IS in per-
rect condition and fielding excellently.
He does not mean to let any rookie
shake him out Of his Job. and Gedeon
must begin all over again to oust either
Laporte or Morgan from his place on the
regular team
Elliott Dent and Tom Drohan are
shaping up well for the mound duties,
but neither n expected to frighten Joe
Engel or Carl Cashion. Indeed, going
over the whole team. II IL Impossible to
ma any youngster who really looks bet
ter than his regular opponent An Of
which forces one to the conclusion that
the Climbers Of 49, were q pretty good
ball club.
The Washington times., 1913-03-18

and Buck Barton were tried on the
mound, all working four innings each
except Barton. who pitched five for the
Regulars. Cashion, as might be ex-
pected, did the best work of the quar-
tet, holding the Pimlsntas to two bin
giles and issuing one pass The Carolina
mastodon was always in control of the
situation. though Bill Morley would
have scored on Scheer's fly to Shanks
in the fourth had he not left third base
too soon.
Barton was bothered much by the
cold wind. and had a hard time of Il
while he was doing the fiinging for the
Regulars He passed three men, al
lowed three hits. and the lone run
scored by Schaefer's aggregation. The
run WENT over when Barton came
through with a wild heave to first In
an attempt to get Morgan off the
corner
Joe Engel, who opened for the
Pimientas, was very wild. and was also
hit hard. In the second session three
fine singles were torn off his speedy de-
livery in row, double play saving
him from being scored on. In the next
inning he went insane, walking three
men. and allowing the first run to b.
made by McBride's crew.
Bob Austin closed the battle for the
Pimientas and allowed two runs to be
sNOItt on HlIt the slNIn Wnen he
passed the first two men up and
Shanks crashed single through
Schaefer. After that he did better work
and the Regulars got no more tallies.
How They Scored.
The first run of the game was count
ed by the Regulars in the third in
ming. Ainsmith coaxed a pass from
Engel skipping to second when Schae-
fer dropped Engers quick peg to get
the runners. Cashion also drew a free
ticket a passed ball having already
sent Ainsmith to third Moeller hit into
a neat double play. Morgan TO Morley
to Schaefer. but f.. "DOrf" tailed. Fos-
ter was also passed only 10 be forced
by Milan
The Pimentas tied the tally in the
sixth. when Harry Welchonce hammer
ca one on the dirt to first and beat the
scramble Of Barton TO cover the bag
He raced all the way TO third on Rip
py Willims bad peg. Connolly walk
ed, TO be forced by Morgan. Barton
tried 10 catch Morgan and hurled Wild
ly, letting Welchonce score and the
Baltimo' boy travel to second That
was all the scorinp done by the Pimien-
tas, but the Regulars got busy for
themselves in the sixth.
Milan walked and stole. Just like that
Al Williams also drew a pass. moving
up with Milan while Austin was getting
Laporte's puny push. Hank Shanks
burned one through Schaefer. scoring
both Milan and williams. That decided
the clash I'm favor Of the Mcbride bunch.
