LAST APPEARANCE OF
BRAVES THRILLING

That multitude of fans which yester-
day paid homage to the Worlds Cham
pions was treated to thrill after thrill
in the way of frequent hitting and
clever base running. mostly. however.
on the part Of the Griffmen, who won
by to 3 and who had an exceptional
day at the bat Consequently, Grif-
fith's lads are today filled with conf
dc nee at having taken both games Of
the exhibition series with the Braves.
Walter johnson was permitted to go
five innings. having got himself in Il
hole in the third inning HIS hench-
men, however, amassed enough hits in
the fourth to pull him out. and when
the game was directed toward the win
column Of the Griffs. Doctor Yancey
Wyatt Ayers was permitted to go to the
mound. where he acquitted himself
nicely.
Boston crossed the defense line of the
Griffmen In the very first inning. when
Johnson contributed a wild pitch.
Moeller's triple and Fosters single tied
the score in Washington's half. after
which there was no damage until the
third. when Stalling's boys got to john
son for a pair Of bingles and the same
number Of tallies. 1t was in the fourth
that the hitting breaks came for the
Griffmen and three runs. enough to
win were scored. Otto Hess went Ave
innings for Boston and Strand finished.

WILLARD EVADES
MOVINGP|CTUR[S
Arrives in New York, But Is
Kept Prisoner in Room to
Avoid Camera. =

NEW YORK, April n.-No conquering
hero, from Hannibal down to Napoleon,
ever received Il heartier greeting than
did Jess Wi!!;i"j when he st,IIed eff
the train from Philadelphia last night.
He had scarcely placed his feet on the
platform when the crowd caught sight
of his towering form and yelled
There's willard There's the man who
knocked out Jack johnson and brought
back the title"
TbS crowd caught only a glimpse of
the new champion. for Willard was
hurried to a waiting taxicab and with
four of his sparring partners was
whisked away at q fast clip to the St.
Nicholas Rink, where he was due to
show his skill at boxing and sSve an
exhibition of wrestling at II O'Clock.
WIZARDS hackers want to exhibit him
only. in the theaters at SO much per
glimpse. They were afraid that the
moving picture men would snap him
with their cameras and so take away
the keen edge of public interest in him.
When he was In Philadelphia and Bal
timore willard was kept in seclusion
and as Jealously guarded as the Kohl
moor diamond. In order to- keep the
champion away from the camera men
willard was not permitted to leave his
rooms In the hotel and had all his meals
served up to him. He was literally a
prisoner until 1t was time for him to
give his exhibition in the theaters in
both cities. Each time he made the
trip to the theaters from his hotel he
was surrounded by a crowd of his train
ers and hustled into a waiting automo-
bile In double quick time.

cred a grievous handicap. but for tho
Griffmen this is more of a benefit. The
boys always do their best when play
ing before hostile crowds. Whenever
port of the fans. they are at their best.
Consequent they are not complaining
about the schedule.
The opening dates of the American
League season find the White Sox at
st. Louis, the Cleveland Indians at De-
troit, the Boston Red Sox at Philadel-
phia, and the Yankees here. There Is
no telling who will be the opposing
pitchers. but here is a fair guess at It:
Indians, Mitchell; Tigers. Covaleskte.
Red Sox, Collins; Mackmen. Bush.
Yankees. Caldwell; Griffmen. johnson.
Tommy Long. once a member Of the
Nationals. is expected to be benched in
favor Of Cosy" Dolan. largely because
Bob Bescher has agreed to cast in h,s
lot with the Cardinals. Long has been
hitting Ike q field for the Cardinals all
spring, put his weakness in the field
and on the bases is believed to have
worked against him and Dolan will be
played in his stead in the opening game
of the National League. Miller Hug
gins. the Cards manager. likes the
up to the requirements.
Hughey Jennings Is pleased that his
team has to play eight Of their first
twelve games against the Cleveland In
dians He thinks this will insure him
of jumping into first place right at the
opening of the campaign. However, in
the last three seasons the Cleveland
club has won thirty-three games from
the Tigers out Of sixty-five played. and
SO this advantage sort of dwindles down
TO little or nothing. Last year the Maps
won only six games from the Tigers
but that was a poor Cleveland outfit.
Charlie Pick, Cube Aeosta and Alva
Williams are likely to be seen in the
opening game with the Yankees next
Wednesday as result Of three cases
of illness on the Griffmen. Ray Nor
gan has injured his side. Chick Can
dis arm is giving him great trouble.
and Howard Shanks' legs are stiU quite
stiffened up.
OF this trio. Morgan is the most likely
to pull around into playing condition..
but Acosta's presence in left field next
Wednesday and the appearance Of Will

prising. =

Georgetown University, In playing
through practically half its schedule,
has broken even so far against some Of
the best teams in the college world and
ther. Is every indication THAI the last
half the games, by far the hardest OF
the season. will find the Hilltoppers
coming to the front.
With single exception, that being
Jim Iormey, captain of the team, none
Of the players possess fancy batting
averages, and while the nine has gotten
its share of good pitching the games
have been won on merit alone. which
means playing baseball for all there is
in It.
Georgetown got away with a pbor
start. owing to the coolest sort OF
weather in March. The team was handi-
capped by chilly winds. which held all
of the pitchers back to such an extent
that the games in Georgia during the
last week In March set the Hiltoppers
down and oYt NIT. st. Joseph's was
beaten here in the opening game and

Is now a tie at all. The score was
to 3.
Alexander and Shawkey were the. .op-
posing pitchers. and the latter appeared
to be in a little better form than his
opponent. Alexander, however, was
somewhat handicapped by support
that was poor in spots. Shawkey evil
IDENTIFY felt the glorious weather. for he
cut loose with everything he had. while
Alexander did not extend himself until
the Macks became dangerous.
From the first inning. in which the
Athletics took advantage of a fall by
Whitted to score a pair of runs. until
the eighth It looked like a victory for
the American Leaguers. When Cravath
came to bat in the eighth the score was
8 to 2 In favor OF the Mackmen. There
was one out, and Byrne and Bancroft
were occupying bases.
The slugger p1Dked out a fast one
and met 1t fairly. The ball travelled on
line to left. with Walsh in chase. The
latter made a vain leap after the ball
as 1t sped over him to bound into the
bleachers. Byrne. Bancroft and Cra-
