ST. LOUIS, May 17.-It seems a pity
that such high-grade pitching as the
Nationals are getting should go to
waste Give GrifHths pitchers to any
one of six clubs in the American League
and it would be Immediately installed
as a favorite in the present pennant
struggle. But the pitchers, while hold
ing their opponents down to a minimum
of hits and runs. are not hanging up
victories. The offensive support of
their teammates is what is failing A
single base hit in a majority of the
games which have been played on this
trip would now have the Griffmen in
first place. for all the defeats would
have been victories had some member
OF the team been BILE to hit the pill
into safe territory at some one stage
or another during these contests.
Shaw pitched brilliant game yester-
day. For a team which could get an
occasional hit with men on the bases
he would have walked in. AS it was, he
was charged with defeat. though his
work marked him to be a slab artist OF
the first water.
1t is not likely that this absence of
base hits can last much longer. A
break is sure to come. Some one of
the (If1Hmen IS gong TO get MS Ddl-
ting optics properly adjusted one of
these days and then games Will be won
with some regularity. Pitching such as
has been shown cannot go unrewarded
much longer Something has got to
break, and 1t is not likely to be the
pitchers, who are all in excellent form.
Walter Johnson will be the twirler In
today's game for the Nationals. The
last effort of the Idaho wonder was
defeat. and as things are now going he
is about due for a victory. Not that
there is anything inconsistent about
his pitching, but some days when he IS
working his teammates manage to get
a run or two, and on such occasions he
usually comes home with the bacon.
Weilman is believed to be the best
of the Browns pitching department
this spring, SO that it probably ma kes
little difference which one is selected
to oppose Johnson today. In TACT
Judging by the way the Griffmen have
been hitting, the opposing t"lrier
name is not of much Importance.
When a pitcher of Jim Shaw anllity
is WORKING pitcher who has but one
weakness. and that is that he is apt 10

HARVARD WINS MEET.
Yale Comedies Points Scored by Roos
in Shot-Put.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. May 1.-THE
Yale track management announced last
night that 1t had no desire to be de-
clared the winner of the annual track
meet Saturday through ANY mere
technicality' over the question of the
eligibility OF w. F. Roos, the shot-put-
ter. and. accordingly. the five points
made by Roos have been declared can
celed This action gives the meet to
Harvard, So to 81 points.
The announcement reads. in part. as
follows:
TT has been the understanding of the
Yale University Track Athletic ASSo-
ciation that questions of eligibility as
between Harvard and Yale in their dual
track games were to be decided under
ton for the cup. AS this was construed
by the Yale management Roos was con-
sidered eligible to compete IN this
years meet and therefore entered.
1T appears, however. that Harvard 8
understanding is that the provisions OF
the deed Of gift respecting eligibility
have been superseded by other eltgtbil-
ity rules under which Roos would have
been ineligible. Yale has no desire to
be declared the winner OF the meet and
thereby secure permanent possession OF
the cup through any mere technicality,
and hereby cancels the points made by
Roos in the meet
IN view of the Misunderstanding
that has arisen, Yale offers the sug-
gestion that a conference be held at
any early date to determine all rules
and conditions for future competi-
ton"

believed that it was good policy to let
Pratt. always a dangerous hitter. Ike
a swing at the ball in the eighth, with
Shotton on second, though Pratt up to
this time had done little or nothing
with Shaw. SO he was Intentionally
walked and a chance taken with Kauff-
man, a weak hitter. The scheme was
all right. but Shaw could not get them
over for the big first baseman, and
then Shaw spilled the beans by also
walking Walker. which forced Shotton
home. Neither Pratt nor and other bat
ter has an even chance of hitting safe
ly, and as matters turned out the per
centage was in favor of Shaw giving
Pratt a chance to hit.
1t is not Grif1th's intention to let Con.
molly play with a left-hander pitching
against the Nationals, and yet he be-
lieves that the time is not far off when
Connolly will master the art of hitting
southpaws.
IT notice in practice" said Griffith
that Connolly meets the ball well
when 1t is offered him by the left
handed pitcher. and any left-handeI
who does that is pretty sure to hold his
own against the southpaws.
There is no more reason for LETT
handed batter to fear a southpaw than
there Is for a right-handed batter to
have any fear when facing right
handed pitcher. for the effect of the
curve Wh1cn breaks away
is the same. But there is more or less
superstition about this southpaW W
proposition. and as long as the left
handed hitters believe that they are
not expected to hit left-handed pitchers
they are very apt not to succeed in this
respect.
Gus Williams. the right fielder Of the
Browns, Judged by his performance in
the game yesterday. is much i'm
proved player. He was the only one
Of the Browns who hit Shaw hard. and.
incidentally. he also stole a couple of
bases on Ainsmith. the final one in the
eleventh being responsible for the
Browns victory.
Bert Shotton had quite reputation
of being a star center fielder. but he
has been switched into left field, and
If anything. is a greater fielder in that
position than he was in his old one.
1t is not At all unlikely that with any
one of the other outfielders playing
left for the Browns yesterday there
would have been a different story to
tell of the game. Shotton performed
brilliantly He had seven chances in
the field and a majority of these re-
aured expert knowledge of the art of
fielding and nimble execution. Shotton
displayed both in manner which
called for admiration.
Catcher Agnew did not last long. On
the ball in the first inning on which
Howard Shanks stole second he in
jured his finger, and had to retire from
the game. Severoid taking his place.
