Two Central pitchers were offered,

Philadelphia, Pa, April 8-Unless the

The White Elephants do not look like

out of the race last summer. The old

Mackmen this afternoon will not last
forever.

other the snap and dash, characteristic
of the Mackmen's play the past two
years, is missing. The Boston Red Sox.
by comparison, look to be % per cent
stronger right now, yet in the recent Sc
ries between these clubs the White Ele-
plants won all but one game.
The Nationals simply could not connect
safely with the ball at the right time to-
day. The Griffmen have faced infinitely
better pitching than the Mack hurlers
showed and were previously able to wal
lop the sphere IN pinch, but not today.
On the other hand Tom Hughes was
hardly at his best, but when the vet
eran got himself into a hole he was
able, with the exception of one fatal
inning. to eXtricate himself and come
out with flying colors
