JOHNSON MAY WIN THE THIRD
STRAIGHT FOR LOCALS TODAY
Griffmen's Star Is to Pitch Against Cleve-

Series-Other Gossip.

appears to be an expert at timing the
slow ones.
For a player who has been in har-
ness as many years Terry Turner
now covering second base for the In
dians. he is still one Of the stars of
the game. Turner has been playing
with Cleveland for twelve or more
, years and during that entire period he
has always been classed with the best
players in the organization.
Turner's shift to second base was made
this spring and it seems to be po-
sition in which he is sure to shine for
many years to some.
John Henry had a rather strenuous
afternoon. Shaw was by no means easy
to catch. his terrific speed giving the
ball all sorts of shoots and breaks, and
, Henry also had a couple of collisions
with the stands in chasing fouls, one
of which might have resulted seriously.
He was running toward the bench after
one of these pop-ups and when his
spikes struck the concrete edge of the
! dtIgout his feet slipped away from
. !nGsr him and he rolled into the bench
Fortunately he was not injured in this
fall. Later he ran into the cushion on
rhe front of the stand, but bounced off
unhurt.
Shaw struck out the side in the sew
enth. VAN bsgnass, O'Nen and Steen
were his victims.
7 Williams had remarkable day at
the bat. facing Steen on four different
occasions. and drawing pass each
time. Twice Williams was up with
'nen on the bases and Steen did not
want to ia Ike any chances with him. SO
lie tried to make Williams go after a
bad ball, which the big fellow refused
to do.
Ray Morgan is getting to be the Ma
tionals' most productive batter In all
of the recent games he has come
through with hits which have driven
runs over the plate. and yesterday was
not an exception. he hitting into left
in the sixth scoring Connolly, but the
hit ordinarily would have been good
for two tallies, for Milan was out at
the plate on Graney's good throw.
Joe Jackson did not look very I'M
pressive at first base yesterday. ON
several occasions he out of posi-
tion, and he did not seem to know just
how to cover the base But jackson
serves the purpose as a hitter, and he
is in the infield to give Smith chance
added considerable batting strength to
the Indians.
F.. b Bruce, the V. P. I. outfielder.
has been notified by Manager Griffith
to report here Monday if his injured
knee has mended and he is able to
play. Griffith is every anxious to get
a look at the youngster. for II he comes
up to his college record in the big
league he is sure to be one of the finds
of the season.

BY J. ED GRILLo.

The Nationals have for the third time
this season won two games In row.
and there is good chance of their
making ii three this afternoon, when
Walter Johnson is slated to face the
Indians, Walter already has scored a
victory over the Cleveland aggregation
this spring. beating Roy Morton sew
eral weeks ago on his own grounds.
Since then he has won every game he
has pitched, and If he is in form today
he should add another victory to his
string.
Just which one of his pitchers Man
aser F'oh1 will use could not be learned.
but 1t is likely that Willie Mitchell or
Coumbe will oppose Johnson.
Today's game will start at O'Clock.
Jim Shaw displayed excellent form in
the game yesterday He had terrific
speed. and his control of the
best. uaIking but two men while he
struck out seven. When Shaw displays
such form consistently he is sure to be
rated among the best pitchers in the
league. and there Is a good chance for
him to achieve this reputation now
that the weather appears to have mod :
Grated. and II will be possible to pitch
him in regular turn. These long lay
!.
as well as to some of the other pitch
erS. and better work from him may be
looked for hereafter
There were three accidents YESTERDAY y
afternoon in which three Washington
players We're injured Just before the
game Nick Altrock tore ligament IN

the field. II will be a week or more be-
fore the veteran will be able to get
around Alva Williams was dealt a
stinging blow on the jaw with a ball
in Joe Jackson's hand when he tried
to catch Williams mapping. and the
latter left the game suffering with a
badly swollen jaw and q stiff neck.
He may not be able to play for sew
eral days. Tommy Connolly. the Ma
tionals' young outfielder. also was in
capacitated when he turned his ankle
in rounding first base in the seventh
inning, when he made a single with
the bases full. 1t will he some days
before he will be able to play. 1t is.
therefore likely that both Moel1er and
Gandil will be in the lineup today.
It is doubtful whether any of the
batters on the local team are better
versed in the hitting of a slow ball
than Tommy Connolly On two diner
ent occasions yesterday Steen fed him
slow ones. and on both occasions ne
timed them perfectly. His first eHort
resulted in a foul, but in the seventh
he drove the ball into right center FOR
a base hit There is nothing more de-
ceptfve to the average batter than
good change of pace. but Connolly

this meeting are expected to be Of the
greatest Importance. From certain
sources comes the information that
many of the club owners of the new
league are anxious to bring about
peace. Their losses have been so heavy
to date that 1t is said that Gilmore has
called the meeting for the purpose OF
discussing the financial situation, which
is causing no end of trouble to most
of the clubs.
: In offering to have the players Of the
Western League work on a percenta ge
plan, the league is taking a sensible
step. and the players II they want to
continue to make living out of the
game during the remainder of the sea
for should the league disband there

players under the present discoura ging

The death Of Tim Hurst, umpire and
referee, has robbed the sport world of
one Of It's greatest characters. Hurst
was wit, besides q competent official,
and he is quoted often to the amuse- :
ment Of many. Thousands OF yarns arc
told on Hurst Of his experiences as
an umpire.
One Of the best Of these is the story
told of a game In which he worked
with a new official umpiring on the
bases. The young ump was standing
near the first base foul line, when a
alarmed he appealed to Hurst, who re-
piled:
"Don't mind that. they're only warm

That Eddie Plank is still competent
pitcher is being proved by his successful
work in the Federal League Plank
surely is a wonderful veteran. He has
pa ssed the forty mark, and yet continues
to show rare form as a twirler
Chief Bender. on the other hand, is
not making good. He has won but a
game or so this season, and most Of the
time has been hit hard. Bender gave
signs of going back last year when he
was with the Athletics, but Plank, while
he cannot do a lot of work, will win a
majority of his games if given the proper
amount of rest between them.
Hughey Jennings is the first or the
American League managers to come out

Tigers will land the flag, and do 1t with
ont much trouble The very fact that
the Tigers have won seven out OF eleven
ga mes from the White Sox gives Jennings
confidence that his team Will win He
figures that the Chicago team fs the only
rival he has for the flag. and, having been
able to beat it, there is nothing else in
tho way -
The team undoubtedly is improved IN
hitting and pitching, and If the latter de-
partment holds up there Is no way to
stop 1t from going to the 'front.' ere long,
