college, went in and pitched a swell
game for the Battle Axe yesterday
against Ashland.
"Goosie" Hulcher put up a splendid
game ut first. but hasn't quite gotten
his eye on the ball.
Why that Telephone team is down
at the bottom OF the heap is more
than a good many other managers in
the league can figure out.
Ashland started OFF like winners
Yesterday over the Battle Axe. u the
Battle Axe boys held back their rail-
lies until the latter innings. when they
won by the score OF S to 4.
Dutch" Bottoms umpiring was Of
high class.
Billy Hay continues to play steady
game, n was there yesterday with
his bingle.
Dutch Klein Is ns fast as ever on
the bases. Yesterday he stole second
and came near getting third, on a
| close play, but Bottom called him out.
The Ashland boys display a lot OF
dash before any runner gets or base:
after they do get on, then they quiet
down.
Dowden and Rady were out OF the
! game, but Dixon and Ricketts, made
good In their places.
Ricketts, is getting to be n of the
best inielders in the league. Yester-
day he nailed the runners at second
base on attempted steals like a big

About His Certainty to Beat
Out the White Elephants.

is giggling up his sleeve. This fellow
Clarke Griffith. of Washington, is 4

Ftands straight. like totem pole. Tues
day afternoon in Col. IL. l.. Hedges Of
fice.
Did You read what he said the other
day?' queried Mack, whose eve twink
led with keen facetiousness. well, he
admitted that the Nationals would win
the pennant and expressed deep SYM
pathy for the Athletics, who, he said,
were lucky to run third last season.
You know Grif Is the best little proph-
ct In Washington, and Wen have to
take this prediction seriously.
But listen, you remember that We
heat the Nationals eight out of eleven
games last fall and put them com
pletely out of the running. We smashed
their winning streak ana Jared them
so hard that they never recovered. Now
Grin says we were lucky, and his team
sure will win the pennant this year.
He's sure the best winter manager in
the American League"
It's seldom that Connie Mack ever
speaks about a rival manager or even
a rival ball club. He's the world cham
pion tight-wad when il comes to dis
trlbuting free conversation. Connie he
lieves that actions speak founder than
words. so he ever hestitates about SPILL
ing wisdom. Occasionally he writes IL

working out at third base until Frank
Baker arrives and his classy work
around the hot corner surprises Connie
Mack, who thought him an outfielder
and nothing more. Murphy evidently
knows how to play third as well as any
infielder in the squad and Connie Mack
says says that this ability may come IN
very handy in case Baker Is injured
during the season.
Harry Davis, the veteran first base
man and former manager of the Maps,
il working out regularly at the firstt
corner and will apparently be held as
substitute for 'Stuffy" Mclnnis. Davis
looks to be in good shape. but must
clear his batting eve considerably.
