Walter Frierson, of Nashville, en-

dermen to audit the books of the
city, has commenced work, and will
inquire thoroughly into every detail
of the city administration, and will
check up all figures that are entered

Mr. Frierson has already made con-
siderable progress in the short time
that he had ben engaged and quite
a number of the records have been
scrutinized.
Mr.. Frierson said this morning
that when he made the contract for
the audit that he thought it was for
two years instead of four, and that
the work will take him some longer
than he anticipated He stated thu
If all the balances and accounts check

and on the submitting of the bids the
contract was awarded to Mr.. Frier-

other auditor. Arrangements have
also been perfected for the supple

take place sometime in January and
will close out the four years Of the
present administration.

Either Jim Shaw or Doc Ayers may
pitch the game against the Athletics to-
day. though Griffith is apt to change his
mind and use one of his other pitchers.
He had not arrived at decision at noon
as to which one Of his twirlers he would
use. but intimat ted that 1t would be one
Of the two mentioned.
Mack is very apt to send Pennock. his
sensational left-hander. to the firing line.
though like Griffith he Is not certain
which one of his twirlers he will use.
The game as usual will be called at
$50 o'clock. But tomorrow's game, the
final of the series. will be put on at PAS
o'clock, because the Nationals have to
get an early train for Boston. where they
are scheduled to play a four-game series,
opening Saturday.
Jim Shaw had a world of stuff the
other day when he started against the
Mackmen. but he was very wild and had
to be taken out He is not apt to be
unsteady today, however, and II Grif-
fifth Is satisfied with his control in the
warm-up he is very apt to pitch.
One change for the better. and one
which is sure to make the Athletics
game. is the adoption of new style

change which gives his team trim

Nationals play. When the Nationals
open in Boston next Saturday they will
have Connolly and Chill, while the two
ofi1cials now here will go over to Phil
adelphia to work in the Yankee-Ath-
letics series.
In many respects Johnson's perform
ance yesterday was the best he has
shown this spring. The fact that he
always had something in reserve whom
it was necessary for him to cut loose
indicated that he was in form. OF the
seven hits CHARGED against him three
were of the infield variety. Manager
Griffith seems at last to have discov-
cred the system by which Johnson can
work to his best advantage. Since his
defeat in New York last Saturday he
has had Just three days rest, and 1t
seems that this idle period is just of
the proper length to keep Johnson on
edge. He has never prospered under
long lay offs, and it is to be hoped that
there will be no occasion for working
him with more than three days rest
during the remainder of the season.
1t required only an hour and twenty
minutes to play yesterdays game. In
fact, any time Johnson Is on the rub

before the Jennings team will be
caught, for it contains a lot Of
strength.
The Federal League is not making
its games more popular by the use of
the lively ball. which is increasing the
hitting OF the players in that organi-
zation. Hitting when legitimate is al
ways welcome, but when it is accom-
plished by reason of the use of an eN-
traordinarily lively ball, the public 10
not fooled, for it does not give the
hitters the credit they expect.
incidentally lot OF long scores will!

also is robbed of the interest which
close contests provide.
While no one will take the squirt of
, the Cincinnati Reds seriously until the
season is considerably older. for the
reason that the team has so often
proved itself a morning glory. there is
good reason for believing that Char
ley Herzog is going to upset the dope
and be much more prominent i'll the
present race with his Reds than any
one figured.

There have been go many tales print
ed about Frank Baker, the Athletics
slugger. which have had no founda-
ton that it is about time for the writ
ers to drop him out of print until he
really does something of interest. OF
nearly every story printed about Baker
a denial has followed. the latest being
that he had signed contract to man
age a farm at $4,000 per year. 1t
stands to reason that farm superin-
tendents, in Maryland at least, are not
paid any such figure even IL they have
a good record in base ball.
The only way that Baker should
break into print again is If he is sold
to some other club or reports TO Con-
ME Mack.
Branch Rickey's ST. Louis Browns
seem destined 10 be at the bottom of
the race all season unless something
Is done to strengthen the team. Rick
eys pitching STAFF has been greatly
weakened. Hamilton and Leverenz are
not In good form and most of the work
is falling on Neilman, James and
Baumgardner.
Incidentally the team is not hitting as
it should and the chances are that the
Browns will have a very poor year
financially. Hickey virtually stood pat
with last years team, though it finish
ed none too well in the race.
That Detroit team cannot possibly
keep up its present batting pace. There
Is more hitting than the records of even
such good batters as Cobb and Craw-
ford justify. and sooner or later there
will be a falling off in this respect. But
there is no getting away from the
fact that the Tigers are sure to be con-
tenders in the present race. and they
might get so good a start that it will
be hard to stop them from finishing at
