DOPE CARL CASH|ON
TO TW|RL TOMORROW
5riffmen Anxious to Climb Into
First Division at Expense Of
Those Yankees.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.


Capital City fans are in for some
are performances this week at the
title old ball yard out on Florida
avenue. The first three days will
zee the Chancemen in action behind
such sterling twirlers as Ray Keat-
ing, Marty McHale. King Cole, Ray
Caldwell, and Ray Fisher. while the
ast three days viii have the worlds
hampton Mackmen in town.
Manager Chance, who was not
with his team yesterday, is expected
20 arrive in the Capital this evening,
md there is sure to be a decided
hsnge in the looks of the team by
omorrow. Chance is 4 hard task
master, anG some of that sloppy
ielding in the first contest will be
.dnished. 1t is more than probable
nat the next three battles will far
SJrpass those Vera Cruz hostilities.
The Griff9en are anxious to get
ITO the Iirst division. To dc this
hey must win the odd game from
he Yankees. Judging by their
rauling of Narhop, Pieh, and Coop
n, they arc about ready to DO a lit
ie climbing, too.
While the dope is vet TO be deter
-n!ned, it is probable that Carl Cdshion
WI fling for the Grifmen tomorrow
sainst Fisher or Cole for the visitors
rom the large town.
Ny team is not yet travelling smooth
) enough to suit me-" said Manager
irlffith today. but by the time we hit
ropes of seeing every ole OF the boys
D'aying up to his standard. Most pleas
ng 10 me is the fine showing of ayers.
Shaw and Bentley. Shaw could easily
have gone along through the whole
same yesterday. but I wanted to give
'ientcy a cilancc. He madc good, too.
All he needs is little experience. and
ne s likely to get some with this team
before the summer comes.
The Mackmen arrive in the Capital
Thursday for a four-game series. and
Connie Mack is certain to use his best
pitchers against the Grinnen. The
.Ong, lean leader of the champions las
maintained all along that there is buL
one team he must beat TO land anothe-
oenrGnt, and GrihCs boys make up this
team. So the fans OF the Capital are
sure 20 see soEre fur flying on the three
est days OF the week.
EdGie Plank. who flung the Mackmen
10 victory yesterday against tie Rcd
SOx. will veT1 likely be seen IN ac-
ION, while Chief Bender is slowly
"oUnding into shape for his best work
and may twirl here, II the weather hap
pens 10 be warm. Herb PenIoch. We
don WyCkoG. and Leslie Bush are other
Etching possibilities for the series at
lOrlda avenue.
Agaist the Yarkees. Manager Griffith
will probably use CaIl CasliOn. Joe
Engel and TIur Ayers. swing ROchlirg
and Walter Johnson TO- the MacfHen.
Johnson mas gone stale" as trainers
say il. and needs 4 rest. However. as
1c is in the best OF health. it ought nc.
eIuIre long time for him TO come
