CHICAGO. May 11.-Booth Hopper is
likely to get a trial today. Griffith says
that he will use the former ST. Paul
twirler against the White Sox. who are
about to pitch their star twirler, Faber.
But the announcement that Hopper will
pitch does not necessarily make 1t cer-
, tanty that he will appear on the rubber.
The managerial mind has been doing a
! lot OF somersault work of late and this
may be another occasion OF this sort. in
which event the selection Of Engel Is
likely. 1t is said that Johnson will work
In the Thursday game and Boehling will
be ready for the final struggle on Sat
urday.
But with the Nationals it is not 80
much who is pitching, for it all de-
pends whether or not the twirler Is given
the right kind of offensive support NO
pitcher can win without runs and this has
been the trouble On all occasions that
Johnson has been officiating.
Dan Moeller was a factor in more than
one way in Yesterdays victory. His
home run drive gave his team the sec
ond run which was needed to make the
lead more comfortable and his throw to
the plate in the sixth inning, when he
doubled up Fournier, helped Shaw out
Of serious hole, which might have re-
suited in disaster. Moeller undoubtedly
has played the best ball of his career as
a National this spring. He has not only
hit well and reached the bases consist
emily, but his fielding has been OF a
high class and he has also shown speed
on the bases.
Manager Griffith announced yesterday
morning that he would play Tom Con-
nelly, formerly of Georgetown, in left
field during the afternoon. Connolly
not only took his turn as third batter
during the batting practice. but he
practiced in left field. and yet when
the game got under way Shanks batted
when Connolly had been expected to
face Scott. There was no explanation
given as to why Griffith changed his
mind. but it is just one of the notions
he is apt to take without warning. But
the chances are that Connolly will not
be allowed to remain idle long. Crit
fifth wants to determine whether he will
be able to hit anywhere near his
Georgetown mark in fast company
and the only way that can be deter
mined is to play Connolly In the regu-
lar games. If Connolly is the hitter he
appears to be he will be of great help
to the Griffmen. who need little stlm-
ulation in the batting department.
In many respects Jim" Shaw re-
minds one of Walter johnson. He has
not had Walters experience and lacks
his control, but for all that he has
some of the Johnson speed. which
makes him effective. Shaw had every
thing yesterday except command of the
ball during two innings. His fast ball
had a jump on 1t that made 1t impos-
sible to hit. and Eddie Collins was one
of those who fell a victim to this de-
livery, when the bases were full in
the fourth inning.
1t has been two weeks since Shaw
has pitched, and he would probably
have displayed better control but for
the long lay-off- In the future. how
ever. 1t is the intention to work him
more regularly. which should be to the
youngsters benefit.

Big scores are a daily occurrence In
nearly every amateur baes ball league
in Washington. Hard hitting. rather
mediocre pitching and many errors
contribute to the large counts regis
tered consistently.
PLAY in the various circuits will be-
come much better, though. as the sea
son grows older. 1t must be remem-
bered that the amateur teams take the
field practically without previous prac-
tice. and little else than ragged play
can hardly be looked for. AS the pitch
ers attain condition and the helders
begin to get in shape to handle them
selves with certainty there will be a
decided diminishing of the scoring OF
SO many runs.
Yesterday was no exception to the
run Of play this season so iar. In the
majority of contests combinations OF
bases on balls. errors and hits con-
tributed to the getting OF more runs
than ought to be scored in a well play
ed game.
In the Northwestern Sunday School
League the Brightwood team took the
measure OF the Whitney Avenue combina-
ton by 10 to 4. Four or five errors by
the Whitney Avenue nine, six bases on
balls off its two pitchers. and nine hits
by the opposing players gave Brightwood
ten tallies. Whitney Avenue was able to
hit the delivery of Phelps, who was on
the mound for Brightwood. safely only
four times.
In the Interbureau League Of the De-
partment of Agriculture the Roads team
won from the Secretary's Office by IL to
I. Two players on the Roads club and
one on the opposing nine made three hits
| each. Gingell. who caught for Secretary's g
Office, was one of those to land on the ball
30 frequently. one of his drives going out
for a homer Ainsworth. who held down
center field. and Joy. who played third.
! were the hard hitters of the winning team
One Of Ainsworths wallops was for three
bases and one Of joys for two.
Law was a victor over Traffic in the
Southern Railway League by to 4. Traf-
fic scored first, getting two runs in the
third. but Law started in the fourth and
got at least one tally in each inning
thereafter. Brown and Robinson did well
for the winners and Jones and Rice for
the losers.
The Machinists won a game from the
Fairlawn team in the Potomas League
by to 4. Better fielding and more con-
sistent batting were the main factors in
the victory Of the first mentioned club.
The Machinists scored one run each in
the first and second innings and they
maintained that advantage right through
the contest.
The Steel Plant scored a shut-out over
the Hamilton A. c. in the Congress
Heights League The losers were unable
to do anything with the delivery OF
Brown, and that. with good fielding back
Of the pitcher, gave him the easy VIC
tory.
The Advent team handed Reformation a
beating in the East Washington Sunday
school circuit by 10 to 4. The Advent nine
+
ion; 1t got a big lead at the beginning Of
the contest and Increased 1t as the play
went on. Loomis was on the mound
again for Advent and he let Reformation
down with four hits, his second winning
game for that club. Three of the four
hits made by Reformation were gotten
by Berhle. who played third.

Players Roll Well.

The work of the Washington bowlers
has been exceptionally good. Nearly
every man that has rolled has done him
self credit, and has reflected well the
ca capabilities of bowlers here Krauss,
Baum. Lennon and others have rolled
splendidly in the doubles and team events,
and it is expected that they will get a
considerable share of the cash prizes
The results of the local bowlers' play
in the tourney brings forth rather
interesting sidelight on the Brockton-
Washington affair of year ago. The
challenge of the Washington men to
compare their work with that of the
Brockton players on strange alleys was
not answered with anything but a re-
fusal on the part of the Massa chu-
setts team. H. T. Rodier, president of
| the Commercial League. and one OF
the three men who selected the team
which played against Brockton in that
town and here, takes a view of the mat
ter which seems to be pretty near con-
rect Says Rodier:
No Comparison With Brockton.
The brilliant work of the Washing
ton bowlers at Boston Is an excep-
tional source of satisfaction to the
men who made the selections for the
Brockton match a year ago. That the
Washington men were able to go on
strange alleys. with smaller balls and
smaller pins. and make as good scores
as they have done reflects great credit
upon bowling here in general, and GER
tainly indicates that the local men are
the superiors of those of the Brockton
| team. At Brockton the same players
who have been securing big scores at
Boston were unable to accomplish any
thing of note, which leads me all the
more to believe and think that the
alleys at Brockton decidedly favored
the home team. Brenkton has been
claiming the championship. and yet il
refused to enter it's team in the Boston
tourney because of what seems to me
to be rather flmsy excuse, it being
claimed that the entrance fee was too
large. Had the Brockton players en-
tered the Boston tourney, where their
work would have been compared to
that of the local men on strange alleys
have not the least doubt that thew
would not have benefited by the com
parison. The splendid work of Wash
ington players at Boston should dispel
whatever sentiment may remain that
Brockton has better bowlers than
Washington. think. The standards
of the play here have been firmly esta b.
lished as among the best in the coun-
try, to my way of thinking"
