Gle Cornelius to get all there is out OF it.
Astounding is the Improvement which the
TWO youngsters Brown and Houck are
showing They are not stars, but they are
a pair Of very useful pitchers to have
around and getting better all the time
And what wonderful pair of hitters
Baker and Collins are, not to speak Of
Oldring and McInnis who always rate
well up. But. OF course, If Mack should
encounter the same kind Of luck for a
few weeks that has followed Griffith this
spring. there would be no telling what
might happen. To have any member or
would give the Athletics jolt from
which they would find it difficult matter
to recover.
Pittsburgh seems at last to have struck
It's stride. The team which was gener-
ally conceded to stand the best chance
of any team in the old leageu to finish
at the top this year. after most miser-
able beginning. SENS now TO have settled
down. and Is going along at merry clip,
and may not be easily stopped.
With its splendid pitching staff, good
hitting and brainy playing, the Pirate
team was not to be denied much longer.
1t is apt to make great squirt now. and
be In the lead by July. in which event
it Is apt to have clear sailing thereafter.
There will be less chance for fiuke vic
tories on the local grounds when the
right field Is extended than there is at the
present time. But once this season has a
local player hit over the right field fence,
and that was Moeller yesterday. while
there have been five or six instances
when visiting players have accomplished
this feat.
Several games have been lost by reason
of these drives. il such they WERE for in
most instances these home runs would
have been easy outs on an open field
With a larger right field players will not
make so many efforts to hit in that direc-
ton, and when they do the fielder will
have chance to cope with those high
flies which are now going for home runs.
Considerable surprise is being expressed
at Manager Griffiths failure to play one
of the CubanS in the outfield In the alb
sence of Howard Shanks. which has ne
cessitated the shifting of Moeller to left
field. where he is weak, and playing of a
catcher in right. However, it must be
conceded that Griffith is perhaps better
qualified to arrange a makeshift team to
the best advantage and that he has de-
cided upon the present combination as
giving the best front he could possibly
present The fans, of course, would like
to see Calvo and Acosta in action. be-
cause they have heard SO much praise for
the young foreigners. but Griffith no
doubt has good reasons for keeping them
on the bench while longer.

in this country the sentiment of
the stock exchange In regard to

TODAY'S GAME.
Southland VS.. Waverly.

There was lots Of excitement in the
North Capitol street Enclosure yester-
day. when the Cornell and Southland
teams played. The Paperhangers got
the big end of I to / score, with
Eberwein doing the twirling.
The excitement began in the second
inning, and will probably result IN
Jones' who started the pitching for

ceeded In getting one over the plate it
was carried to some far corner OF the
lot The trouble arose over ball hit
down the first base line. which Umpire
Venable declared a fair ball. Jones
protest on the decision was so strong
that he was ordered out of the game.
and in his excitement he threw his
glove at the arbitrator. His control
on this occasion was much better than
when pitching the glove striking Mr..
Venab BILE in the face. 1t was after this
incident that he was ordered OF the
field, and it was only the interference
OF several members of both teams
which prevented an alterca ton between
umpire and player.
Beach finished the second inning in
the box for Southland and in the third
kidwell was sent to the mound. The
latter finished the contest in good style.
He was hit safely five times in as many
innings. Four of these hits came In the
seventh and resulted in one run

BY J. ED GRILLo.

That the Nationals would be decided
ly prominent in the race II the team
had been intact this spring is shown
by the fact that even in their crippled
state. which has existed all spring,
they have been able to win few more
games than they have lost.
Unless there is a remarkable reversal
OF form shortly the teams pennant
chances have about gone glimmering.
and it will have a hard fight on its
hands trying to hold a respectable posi-
ton in the race. There has not been
a time this spring when Griffith has
been able to present his full team.
In every game something has been
lacking. and yet he managed to stay
with the select few in the first di
vision. Under the most favorable cir
cumstances it will be ten days or two
weeks before he can hope to have all
his players back in harness. Once that
becomes a fact there is going to be a
big difference in the teams work, but
whether it will be able to overcome
the handicap it Is now suffering by
reason of the crippled condition Of the
team is decidedly questionable. The
three teams which precede 1t in the
standing this morning are all going at
a fast clip None of them is suffer
ing by reason of the absence Of any
OF it's stars, and Chicago, in fact.
promises to be better fortified than
ever before as soon Hal Chase makes
his appearance at first base.
1t is not likely that any of these teams
will lose any ground to the Nationals
for a while yet. and Incidentally unless
the present team can do the unexpected
it is apt to drop still further back.
The absence of Foster and Morgan not
only robbed the team of much of it's Often
sive strength, but the injury to Shanks
weakened 1t where it was strongest in a
defensive way. That was the one strong
point of the Nationals. When it was in
tact it was by far the strongest defensive
team in the circuit, but in it's present
shape it is not up to It's standard in any
respect and cannot be expected to win.
Mack has wonderful combination,
though 1t may be possible to pick flaws
in it when compared with some of the
other great teams that base ball had de-
veloped in past years. 1t never looked
more like Mack's team repeating than at
the present time. He has a long lead
and his team Is playing consistently
good ball. 1t Is meeting all corners and
beating them. and IL anything. is show
ing better form as the season progresses.
