Pop Lannigan today he the final trials
for Virginia's two-mle relay team that
will run in the championship class at the
University of Pennsylvania relay carni-
val and it will be composed of Capt.
Cooke Barton Wright and Beckett. The
time made by the respective men was
not given, but the trainer had somewhat
of smile on his face as he looked at
the watch after the finish.
All the men are veterans with the eN-
ception of Wright. and, though Lanni-
gan hardly expects to trim Dartmouth
and Cornell, he says he will be very
much disappointed if the team does not
pace.
Three men will be taken along with the
relay team to compete in the open events.
Gooch in The broad jump MaXon in the
broad jump and sprints and Conley in
the hurdles.
Gooch and MaXon have both been doing
over twenty-three feet in the broad jump
and this will probably beat anything in
the colleges except Cutterson, the Uni

last summer. 1t is said that Marquard
never used curve ball on the POLO
Grounds. but that he kept his last pal!
low and was but seldom hit.
Just how much Pittsburgh's chances to
win the pennant this year will be de-
creased If Hans Wagner is forced TO
quit is d matter of conjecture. But the
chances are that even so strong team
as the Pirates will find the going hard ii
it's best hitter should be ont of the game
Wagner's value to the team does not end
with his hitting. He is wonderful
fielder and base runner and his presence
on the team has the effect of making
opposing pitchers nervous when he faces
them in the pinches.
According to reports, Wagner will have
to undergo an operation which is sure to
keep him out of the game for weeks and
then it will he doubtful if he will ever
be able to play again.
Tim Murnane, the veteran scribe OF the
Boston Globe seems to have been peeved
on the day the Bostons made their first
appearance here, and i'm his story of the
game takes the following shot at local
crowds and members of the team:
Never did see persons at a ball game
act more like members of roughhouse
gangs than was shown here today in the
upper part of the grandstand, close to
the reporters working desks. The vilest
kind of language was hurled a the Bos-
ton players and the umpires. and these
tactics We're encouraged by the members
of the Washir gton team. who delayed
the same fully half an hour in finding
fault with strikes and decisions on the
bases
''Umpires Dineen and Hart were par
TALLY to blame. for it was in their hands
to keep the game moving and not stand
like a pair of undertakers to listen to
the foolish chin music of the Washing
~, %I1o r,l,a ,,in,, hin
bee in their bonnets and refused to swal-
low their medicine.
Mr.. Murnane is doing local patrons of
the game a great injustice. There are no
more representative crowds attending
base ball anywhere than right here in
Washington. The conduct of thousands
of persons should not be judged by the
actions of a single individual.

Tonight's Schedule.

When the presidents of six of the
leading duckpin organizations of the Dis
trict send speeding down the alleys the
opening balls in the tournament tonight
at the Palace alleys, what is confident
ly predicted as the banner of the City
Duckpn Associations yearly events will
be .inaugurated With an entry list ap-
proximately as great as last year; with
several teams outside of the regularly
organized league competing, notably
among these being quint from the
Washington base ball clubs bowling
fraternity. and with the little pin shoot
ers generally putting up high quality
of rolling, success in its broadest sense
seems assured. President George Cox
and his co-workers in the association
have labored long and earnestly in an at
tempt to have everything in readiness for
tonights opening, and that the bowlers
will find every detail letter-perfect is
also a certainty. The initial sets-the
fVe-man events-Will start promptly at
O'Clock. and those competing are request
ed to be in readiness to take the alleys at
least ten minutes earlier
Following the teams, which are the
Critics Buffalos, Cubs and Indians Of

and Washington Base Ball teams. unat-
tached, will come the doubles, with three
class A pairs. one in class B and the
double A" participants, the ball play
ers. The singles take the alleys at HIS,
and some notable duckpin men. includ
ing Harry Krauss. Buck Harley, Skinny
Carroll, Doc Lennon, Watson and
Harry Stanford. the latter the champion
in this class at last years tourney, will
roll.
The Palace alleys are decorated es
pecially for the occasion, new pins have
been secured to be used in all events,
and the alleys themselves have been put
in tirst-class condition. That there will
be tremendous crowd on hand tonight
is assured. Among the prizes are twelve
medals. six of these being handsome
gold emblems donated by The Star for
best work in the doubles in the three
classes.

BY J. ED GRILLO.

Only few of the star pitchers OF the
American League are holding their posi-
ton before the batsmen this spring. Wal
ter Johnson, Vean Gregg, George Mullln
and Jean Dubuc appear to be in FORM
but there are many others who have
failed to show to good advantage. To
enumerate Joe Wood. the man who
pitched the Red SoX into a pennant last
season. has been numerically pounded
Ed Walsh the White Sox iron man, has
been driven from the slab on two occa-
sions Russell Ford appears to be away
out of form, while Eddie Plank has mad
the experience of being forced to retire.
Chief Bender has shown little or nothing
and Ray Collins has been unable to MAIN
tain his position.
These six pitchers who have beei~stars
for years have all been bumped TINS year
and their teams will not have chance
to be prominent in the race unless they
regain their old form.
OF those who have shown up we'll, Aal-
ter Johnson stands out He mas won
every game he has pitched, three In rum
ber and has been scored on but cnce'
which is quite a record and lndlcateS
that he is already in his very best form
II is peculiar that some pitchers show
excellent form against certain CLUBS ana
then fail against others. Ray keatlng,
the young man who won the onlS Two
games which the Yankees nave to their
credit this spring. made two efforts TO
down the Nationals and on both occa sions

Boston and yesterday shut out the Attn
letics Heating looks like a first-class
pitcher but he did not seem to have the
breaks when he faced Griffith's team.
The new scoring rule which eliminates
the feeders choice and gives batter
under such condition base hit has no
other virtue than that it VIII make the
scoring uniform in every city.
In majority of instances the base
hit which is to be credited to the batsman
will be undeserving. Say, for instance;
that there is a man on thlrd base ana
the batter hits a grounder to one of the
infielders whose throw to the plate Is too
late to catch the runner coming from
third The runner who makes the run
possible by reason of his speed ana
sliding prociv.ties receives no credit, but
the batter VINO really did little is cred
tied with base hit.
Heretofore such plays have been left
to the judgment Of the scorers as TO
whether the batter was entitled 10 hit
or not, and it is for the purpose of maxi
ing the scoring uniform that the new
rule has been adopted though 1t seems
assured that in a majority of cases the
base hit will be a mere gift to the bat
ter and will not really be earned.
1t is contended by those who are fa-
miliar with conditions that if Walter
Johnson pitched all his games on the
Polo Grounds he would never lose a
contest.
These grounds are believed to be the
hardest in the country TO hit on because
there is no background by which the
batter can gauge the ball. 1T is said TO
be decidedly hard to see fast pitching
on these grounds and it was this handi-
cap which the batters had to shoulder
which allowed Rube Marquard to build
up his record of nineteen straight wins
