The Western High School foot ball
team is likely to make a whole lot bet
ter showing in the race for scholastic
honors this fall than is anticipated by
some of its rivals. Western has bet
ter material than usual. the squad be-
ing heavier and more experienced. 1t
would be no surprise if the red and
white is right in the fight from the
start.
Westerns teams generally have been
SO light that it proved an almost in
surmountable task to accomplish any
thing other than a creditable showing
against the heavier aggregations it has
been forced to face. This season there
appears to be more weight in the
squad and it is probable that an ex-
traordinarily strong combination will
be developed. The bulk of the material
which made up the 1914 eleven is back
in school and one or two who were
not eligible then are out now with
good prospects.
Bryan Morse. who has coached West
efn successfully for several. years, still
is in charge. He has full knowledge Of
the capabilities Of his men and may turn
out a foot ball team that will be almost
as successful as the basket ball squad
with which he astonished scholastic cir
cles in Washington last winter.

Il is more than likely that George Nc
Bride, injured in the fourth inning OF
yesterdays game, will resume his posi-
ton at short field today and continue TO
play during the remainder OF the sea-
son. Mcbride has not missed a game
this year, and he is particularly anxious
to- go through the entire campaign
without having an off day.
He told Manager Griffith this morning
that he felt sure he would be able to
fiji his position this afternoon.
Grifith will in all proba bility present
the same lineup that he had yesterday.
He is anxious to give Barber every
chance to develop. for he would like
nothing better than to have him make
one Of the regular positions in the out
field next season.
Joe Judge was in uniform yesterday.
He has been having his ankle baked
every day since he injured it. and he
is almost ready to play again. 1t Is
likely that when Judge breaks back
into the game he will be given
a chance in the outfield, where Griffith
really needs fast. rd-hitting player
OF Judges type, and he also will have
the advantage of having a substitute
inst basendan of class.
Judge does not expect to be out Of
the game more than n day or SO now,
as his ankle already is sufficiently
strong to allow him to walk without
limping.
Ty Cobb was put out of the game In
the third inning yesterday by Umpire
Wallace for disputing decision.
There was bad miX-up in this in

second when Kavanagh hit a grounder

There are not many pitchers in the

That Boehling has deteriorated as
pitcher was most forcibly demonstrated
in the game of yesterday. He did wen
enough for two innings, then blew up
like skyrocket and the Tigers scored
six runs in the third and fourth rounds.
Manager Grifith must have his own
motives in pitching Boehling, for ne
certainly must be convinced by this
time that he cannot win games. To be-
gin with the so-called Richmond
Thunderbolt" is pounds over weight
and does not look unlike Wilbert Rob-

After the first inning, when the score
stood 4 to 0 in favor of the Nationals,
DOME Bush offered to wager Nick Al

That fellow out there can never beat

runs his team scores for him."
Nick did not take the bet.

The Royals took the measure of the

was not until after they had been de-
feated in the first contest, though, that
Pop" Halley's quint awoke to the
necessity Of getting a move on and
came through by winning the second
and third. The Jeds took their game
by eight pins, but the Royals had a
margin of fifteen in the second. and in
the third swept things by finishing
seventy-four to the good. Howser and
Stanford proved the stars of the match,
the former rolling games of III. 105,
lie. and the latter 100. 101 and 105.
The National Capital League. which
enjoyed joint opening with the Dis
trict. started its schedule with a match
between the Columbians and Nationals.
The bowling done in these three con-
tests was not of as high an order as
those in which the Jeds and Royals en-
gagged, neither teams knocking down as
many as 500 pins in any game.

afternoon served to draw out large
gallery of followers of the sport.
splendid progress was made in getting
the matches out of the way. the second
round being completed and several
played in the third. The first round
of the consultations was almost COM
pleted and good Roadway was made In
the mems doubles. Chairman Hume
and his assistants of the tennis COM
mittee kept constant watch on the
seven courts and as quickly as one
match was completed another one was
put on. The schedule is SO large that
it takes hustling all the time to pull off
the matches to accommodate the play
ers who make the journey to the
courts.
The matches played yesterday were
gone through with according to the
dope about the only upset being the
easy victory of Ballard Moore over Arthur

practically conceded to Moore by the wise
people around the clubhouse before the
battle opened, but it was expected that
HELEN would put up a more effective
defense Moore is in splendid condition
at present and looms up as one Of the
pair who will battle in the finals.
Lewis to Play Moore.
GEORGE Lewis, one Of the best players
in the tournament, is scheduled to meet
Moore today. While playing on the Dunn

Lewis ran into an old hedge fence and
came in contact with sharp branch

inches long and fully half an inch deep
The wound was quickly dressed and this
morning Lewis reported all right. but
should he play this afternoon he probably
will feel the effects of the injury.
The mems doubles got under way,
bye showing Doyle and Barber into the
second round, where they defeated Dorst
and Barnard. The other match in the
doubles was that between Stuart and
McLaren. who beat Herrie and Bridget

Manager Moran is pointing Alexander
for the world series He Is giving him
lots Of rest and just enough occasional
work to keep him on edge in the hope
that he will come through during the
series.
But Alexander is not to carry the en-
tire burden. Eppa Rixey. too, is being
trained for the ordeal, and II he should
be in form he is sure to be a trouble
some chap for the Red Sox.
The charge is made that the Boston
pitchers have resorted to the trick Of
pitching at the heads Of the good bat
tiers in order to make them step away
from the plate, thus decreasing their
means a new trick, and during the days
when the Athletics were winning pen
nants Bender and Plank made spe
cialty of pitching what is known as
the bean" ball, and to this the sue
cess Of Mack's star pitchers was to an
extent attributed.
There Is, of course, no way to legis-
late against the practice, for there is
no way to determine whether the ball
of the batter or whether it is purpose
ly done. There are some pitchers who
will not resort to these tactics. Walter
johnson is one of them. He has fire.
Quently been advised that he ought to
drive batters away from the plate by
pitching at their heads, but he always
has refused to resort to such methods.
