DETROIT. May 2s-The Nationals
| won their seventh game of the trip
yesterday. Eighteen games have been
played since the team left Washington
and eleven of these were defeats. Not
withstanding this rather disappointing
showing, the team Is still in a position
to make a bid for the flag.
1t is in the fifth place, but is only
five and half games behind the lead
ers, and this margin may be overcome
during the Nationals long stay at
home during the entire month of June.
The pitching on this trip has been all
that could be asked for: SO has the
fielding. on the whole. but the offensive
strength has been lacking. and this has
been the cause of most of the defeats.
There is a vast improvement In this
respect of late, however, and 1t is be-
lieved the Improvement is not tenn
porary.
Walter johnson is not only in perfect
pitching form, but he is hitting better
than he has before. He scored another
home run In the fourth inning yester-
day. when he lifted high fly over the
left-fiel,l fence And he did it 50 cleanly
about the number of bases the drive
would net from the moment il left the
bat johnson has been hitting well In
all the games he has been in lately
and his batting average has received
tremendous boost
Acosta was used In left field during
the absence of Connolly, who is suffer-
ing with a charley horse and Will be
out of the game for several days. The
Cuban had nothing to do in the out
field and only faced the pitcher twice.
With second and third occupied in the
third he slammed a single to center,
scoring both runs.
Then when Griffith figured he had
the game cinched he placed Acosta on
the bench and let Shanks cover the
field, thus strengthening his defensive.
with which he would take no chance
after getting a good lead.
Judged on what John Henry dis
played behind Walter johnson in the
game yesterday he should be assigned
to that pitcher for all time. John han
dies johnson without any ostentation.
He catches him with the same grace
that he does the other pitchers, and
Walter seemed to like the change.
Henry is a heady catcher, and helps
his pitchers more than a little. In ad-
dition opposing players take no lib
critics with Henry's throwing arm. Not

started at 8.
So long as "Rippy" Williams was
used as pinch hitter he was hitting
the ball with a vengeance, but since he
has been shifted to first base he has
failed to come through with a single
! safety. But this slump is only tenn
porary in Williams case, and in due
time he will be doing his share of the
batting again.
There is to be work out in the ball
park this afternoon at which all
the players will be put through some
strenuous stunts. Tom Connolly.
though he is out with a charley horse,
is going to start taking lessons in sew
eral things in which he lacks One of
these Is getting a start on the bases
and learning to take a lead on the
pitchers He also is to have a lot of
needs.
Ray Morgan now is hitting in his
best form. He got three out Of four
again yesterday and he is now one OF
the most dangerous of the Nationals
batters. If Morgan can continue at his
present clip he will be the bulwark of
the Nationals offensive.
Boland, the Detroit twirler, was fig
ured to be a star in the early part OF
the season, but since then he has lost
his prowess and is now rather easy
picking. On two occasions the Nation
ais have driven him to the bench, and
Jennings now will give him a rest tc
learn IL that is what he needs. The
strength that Boland apparently ha6
added to the Tigers is not in evidence
now, he having lost his cunning wher
the batters began to show their true
form.
George Mcbride has played the most
consistent ball of any of the members
of the team. He has been the one play.
er who has shown good form ever
since the season opened. and, while he
has not been a demon with the stick
he has made many of his drives wher
they counted for the most.
Eddie Foster got badly mixed up in
the third inning when he was on sec
ond base and Acosta hit long fly te
center field. Thinking there were two
| out, Eddie logged toward third base
and. of course, was doubled up before
he could return to second.

FEW PITCHERS WHO THROW WITH EITHER
 HAND LAST LONG

Followers of baseball have often heard of the fellow who could pitch a fast ball with either hand and make it curve also, but very few have seen one of these pitching freaks Baseball history tells Of a chap named Owen Keenan, who pitched for Youngstown, Ohio, in 1885. Keenan could pitch equally well with either arm. On the 4th of July Of that sea- son this wonder pitched two games of ball against New Castle and beat that team in both contests. He worked his left arm in the first game and used his right wing in the second contest, with the odds slightly in fa- vor of the right whip.
 The famous Larry Corcoran of the Chicago team in the early sos was one of the great hurlers of the period Larry lost the use of his wonderful right arm during the season of 1885. This almost broke his heart, for Lar ry was not old in years. It dawned upon him that he ght make a left handed pitcher, for he was always clever at throwing with his left and used ~to practice frequently. In the season of 1886 Corcoran signed with "a Southern League team left handed pitcher and reported for prac- tice as such. He worked hard to gain control, for he developed rare speed. Larry pitched a few exhibition games and in one of them he kinked his re- rnaining wing so badly that he was released, so ha had to quit the game for he had run out Of pitching arms.

DUNDEE WINNER IN
 FINE BOUT WITH
 FRANKIE CALLAHAN

New York. March 1T.-Johnny Dun dee of New York danced around the ring at top speed at the Broadway Sporting club last night and jabbed his right and left hands into Frankie Callahan so hard and so often that the Brooklyn boxer was somewhat bewi1- dered
 It was Dundee's bout throughout the ten rounds, and although Callahan showed great improvement after his trip through the west, he was no match for the speedy Dundee. During the last four rounds Dundee put on all steam, and his lighting Jabs to CaIla- hans face drew blood from the mouth and nose and in the eighth round Dun dee put over a WalIop that smashed it's way to CaiIahan's jaw and staggered him.
 It was one Of those fast. furious bouts in which there was little clinch- ing, and both boys were willing to take their chances standing off and banging away at each other.
 Callahan willingly took the punish tnent from the hard 5olts that Dundee handed out with either hand in an att tempt to get over a Knockout blow, but the elusive Johnny was never In the way of one of CaIIahan's powerful swings. Dundee weighed in at 12s IA, and Callahan at 131 1-4.

SCHOOL ATHLETIC SPIRIT.

It is sometimes thought that school pupils have their minds only on ath- Ietics. But the boys who run high school sports often say that one of the difficulties they have to contend with is the Indifference of many of the school pupils.
 It is quite 8 little proposition to run successfully a school athletic team. It may look easy to the busi- ness may. But as a matter of fact, there are good many bills to pay.
 The grown-ups are indifferent and don't attend the games much. The girls would rather spend their pocket money on candy and ice cream. The boys go where the girls want to go.
 Loyalty is a fine trait. A boy who stands by his school comrades and roots for them vigorously from the side lines is likely to be the man who will be loyal to his home town when he grows up.
