Thus the standing of five clubs was af-
fected at this late date-tve and one
half weeks after the opening OF the
season-by a solitary winning.
A shake-up also came in the American
League. Chicago beat Boston, while
St Louis was trimming the New York

Connolly Gets His Hits
While Grihmen Fail
Georgetown Youngster Is Only Batting Righthand
Pitchers, Having Never Been Tried Against South
paws-Other Gossip of Nationals Doings.
BY LOUIS A. DOUGHER.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, May o.
When rookie player can step into
the lineup Of a major league team
and in his first five games hit for
.412, scoring five runs on seven hits,
he is doing very passable work.
That's what Tommy Connolly, the
former Georgetown star, is doing
with the Griffmen. Yesterday he
took part in his fifth game in the
big show. In that time he has been
to bat sixteen times, scored five
runs and has made seven hits, total
ing nine bases. In his sixteen trips
to the plate he has famed but twice,
Eddie Cicotte pulling this stunt on
the youngster. Every other time he
has hit the leather like veteran.
Connolly plays only when left
handlers do not oppose the Griffmen
OF the rubber. This may aid him
somewhat in establishing this good
record, but it begins to look more
and more every day to those merely
gazing at the scene that Connolly
might we'll be tried against south
paw twirlers. AS a college player,
Connolly faced southpaws just as
he did righthanders. He got his
hits just the same in both cases. If
Shanks were hitting for .412 against
southpaws alone, there might be
good reason for the present arrange
ment, but the Monaco Marvel is
down around the $50 mark. Con-
molly can tumble down halfway to
the bottom and even then be right in
the swim with a majority of his
team mates.
Ray Morgan contributed two dumb
plays In that first clash with the In
diane. In the second frame, Graney was
on first when Smith tried to sacrifice
Soehlins came in fast and took the
punt on the fly. Turning to throw to
rirst to double up Graney, who had
started for second. he found two men
there. Morgan and Gandil. 1t was sim
pie for Gandil, but he didn't know Nor
gan was there. SO he promptly collided
with Morgan, neither Of them getting
safety.

CLEVELAND, May IA new lease
Of life has been given the Indians with
the summary discharge of Joe Birming-
ham. and that tweive-inning victory
yesterday Is expected to bring out a
large holiday throng today, especially
when Guy Morton, Clevelands best and
most successful twirer Is booked to
tackle Walter Johnson. Interest in the
Indians has been slowly fading away,
but now all Cleveland Is discussing the
hard hitting and stellar pitching that
characterized that first game with the
Griffmen. II is expected that fully 15,-
900 fans will, be on hand to see the two
teams in action.
No better ball game was ever wit
messed than that first skirmish of 1915
between the Griffmen and the Indians.

nings. From first to last the combat
fairly sizzled with brilliancy. Both
teams were on their toes all the time:
Great fielding stunts were seen. ana
hard hitting, tho kind that makes the
fans stand up and yell. was contributes
by both clhbs. No. the Griffmen didn't
win. but 1t seems in the books for
them to lose. no matter how they turn
the trick.
Fourteen bingles, at least eleven Of
them hard drives, were marked up tor
the Nationals. but they came out of The
small end of the horn because of boots
and Hank Shanks lamentable weak
ness. A thrilling batting rally, five base
knocks coming in savage onslaught
against the Indians, sent four runs JOY
fully across in the sixth and gave the
Griffmen the lead. That should have
ended the entire AFFAIR, but Milans
poor throw on relay from the fence
TO Mcbride allowed the tying run to
come in. and Ray Morgans wobbling
weakness in the last frame made 1t pos
sible for the winning tally to be chalked
up for Lee Fohl's outfit.
One Of the theories of baseball is that
a left-hand hitter cannot do as we'll
against a southpaw pitcher as a right
handler can. For that heason Tommy
Connoly, who had shown great strength
against Steen. was yanked when Willie
Mitchell. appeared and allowed Hank
shanks to try his luck. Hank famed
