Evening star., 1915-06-09
BY J. ED GRILLo.

For Just about an hour yesterday
afternoon there seemed to be chance
of Joe jackson being added to the Ma
tionals' outfeld. The slugging fielder
of the Cleveland team had told a friend
that. like Steen. he. too. was on the
market and that the club making the
best bid would obtain him.
This Information was hurried to Nam
aser Griffith. who. while he doubted Its
truth. got busy and communicated with
Cleveland's club officials. 1t did not
take long to learn that Jackson was
not on the market and that there was
not chance for any club to procure
him at any price.
Griffith. however, admitted that he
would have gone a great distance to
get jackson, who is just the kind of
batter he wants for his outfield.
But. of course, there is no chance for
such deal to be made. A change of
clubs might make wonderful differ
ence in Jackson's work, but the chances

land club.
Had Eddie Foster failed to retire
ONeil in the ninth he would undoubt-
edly have drawn some severe criticism
because there were those who believed
that Foster was going out of his posi-
ton to field the O'Neil grounder. But
had the play failed Foster would not
have been entitled to any sort of
call. He was the only man on the
infield who could have thrown ONei
out. The hall was travelling slowly
and if it had been allowed to roll
to Mcbride it would most likely have
been received at first base too late
to retire the runner and the score
would have been tied.
Foster showed intelligence when lie
realized that it was up to him to make
the play, and cut across the inf1eld
scooped it up and threw it as quickly
as possible to Gandil, who made
brilliant pickup and ended the game.
That long lay-off which Gandil had
seems to have worked wonders for
him At no time since Gandil has
been member of the Nationals has
he played better ball than he is now
playing. Not only is Chic" hitting
as of yore, but his fielding is nothing
short of sensa tional. Time and time
again Yesterday he made clean pick
ups of ugly throws and his scooping
up of Graney's drive along the right
field foul line undoubtedly prevented
the Indians from scoring in this in
ming, for had that ball gone through
il would undoubtedly have netted the
speedy left fielder of the Indians three
bases.
Gandi1 has done much to bring about
the last two victories credited to the
Nationals and he is again one of the
most valuable players in the lineup.

Bridget to lead it in the campaign next
year. at Central the base ball letter
men chose Molly" Roberts, and al

ed. DENLY Hird received the honor OF
the captaincy of the nine.
All three of these boys made good
records in their respective sports dut
ing the year which ended recently
Bridget was a member of the Western
relay team and ran in the hurdles
Hird pitched brilliantly for the Manual
Trainers in their race for the high

The Marines were defeated In the
Government League yesterday for the
first time this season. After going
through half the schedule without
losing a contest, they succumbed to
the Bureau nine In their initial ap-
pearance in the second part OF the
season.
The Marines owe their defeat to their
inability to hit the delivery Of Lyons,
who pitched for Bureau. They had
great difficulty in. connecting with him
at all, as thirteen famed and only two
safeties were registered. Lyons pitch
ed one Of the best games of the year in
that circuit. being in absolute control
Of almost every situation.
And even with the splendid pitching
of Lyons, Bureau won in rather SEN
until the last inning. when Bureau
got four men across the plate. The
Marines were unable to score at all
in this period.
The Crescents handed a defeat to the
Gibraltars in the Rosedale League by

runs in the first period and two in
the second. which made the contest
easy for them after that. The Gibral-
The Gibraltafs were unable to do
anything on the offensive because of
the splendid pitching of Weaver. The
ponents with one hit. and as he had
pretty fair control and got good sup
port there was very little opportunity
for the losers to score of him to any
extent.
The steel plant team was victor
over the Hamilton Athletic Club in
the Congress Heights organization by
13 to 3. Both teams scored three runs
in the first inning. but four runs made
by Steel plant in the fourth and five
more in the fifth gave it the contest
without much trouble. The Hamilton
club was unable to tally after the
opening period. The Steel Plant proved
the better fielding club and hit the
ball much more consistently.
Miller. who did the catching. and
Phipps. who played first base. proved
the batting stars of the contest. Each
man drove the ball into safe territory
three times. All the safeties made
by Miller were singles, but one of
Phipps' drives went for three bases.

According to Joe Jacksosn, the bas&

have a very comfortable lead in the
