Better ball is being played in the De

There is hardly team that does not APP

one possible exception, and every CLUB is
doing better work generally than last

The recent action of the organization
in splitting the season in two parts un-
doubtedly is beneficial, and Will result
in greater interest being maintained
among the clubs, The winners of the two
series will meet in a final series to de-

ing and superior fielding, coupled with
more interest because of the nature of
the race, ought to produce one Of the
most successful years the departmental

PHILADELPHIA, Tune 3.-That the
inclement weather Of the present
| spring has been the greatest detrl-
| ment to the Nationals there is not
| the slightest doubt. To begin with
| had it been normally warm this spring
the team as a whole would have beer
| in better form and Griffith also couic
have worked his pitching staff 70 better
advantage. As matters now stand
there have been so many off days that
the pitchers have lost some Of theil
form. Barring, perhaps. Walter John-
son, none of them has worked regu-
larly because off days have upset the
schedule Manager Griffith had mapped
out for the working of four of his
twirlers. The result is that most OF
them have lost their effectiveness, and
it will not return until they have
worked in regular turns under favor
able conditions.
Lack of form as the result OF much
idleness has been the Nationals fail
ing this spring. True, the team mas
worked whenever it was possible but
this sort of activity is not nearly as
beneficial as real ball games, of which
the team has been unable to play any
great number in row without having
anywhere from one to three and four
days intermission.
so far as the players are concerned,
they have been giving the club their
best efforts, so far as possible. But
players who lack form as the result of
conditions cannot be expected to play
up to their standard. and that is ex-
actly what ails the Griffmen. In due
time there is going to be a revival of
form such as the team has shown in
former campaign. There is no real
reason for criticism being placed on
any individual on the team. There is
naturally much disappointment that
the team has not occupied a more
prominent position in the race this
spring. but it has not been the fault or
the failure of any one, Or set of play
ers, but a general condition brought
about in large measure, by lay-oifs
caused by the weather.
That Walter Johnson is pretty sure
to duplicate his record of last season,
when he won more games than any
pitcher in either of the major leagues,
seems most likely. Johnson has won
every one of the last four games which
have been added to the winning column
in the Nationals record. He has been
able to work more regularly and, con-
seuuently, display better form than
anv of the other twirlers. and he is
apt to show even better form as the
season progresses

MANY LAY-OFFS DETRIMENTAL
TO PLAY OF GRIFFITH'S TEAM
Lack of Consistent Work, Caused by Post
ponement Of Games, Has Made Pitching
Staff Especially Less Efficient

If Bruce. the " P. l. slugger. proves
as good man as has Tommy Connolly
of Georgetown. Manager Griffith will
have likely pair of young ovttielders
| before the season is much older. Bruce
| like Connolly. is said to be an excel
| lent hitter, and 1t is this sort of ma
terial that is most needed by the Griff-
| men, who must have stronger offenSe
| before they can have a possible cha nee
of winning with anything but the high
est grade of pitching.
| There is no question that Ray Nor
gan is playing better ball this spring
/ than ever before since he Joined the
Nationals. Morgan has learned how to
play his position at second base. He
IS giving the playing of his position
Intelligent consideration. He is COW
ering lot of ground because of the
fact that he is watching the catchers
signals and playing the percentage on
the batters. With a right handed bat
ter up. for instance, and a fast ball
it is more apt to go toward right than
self accordingly. and consequently
gets a better start when it is neces-
sary to cover a lot of ground. His
exhibition in the game here Tuesday
was remarkable in this respect, for he
seemed never to be at a loss where to
play for the various batsmen.

by Ty Cobb, also is mending, and it is
figured that by the time the middle of

Giants and Braves Draw.

BOSTON, June 3.-New York and Bos-
ton played ten innings to a 5-to-5 tie
IN shivering weather yesterday. The
game was called because of darkness.
Six New York runners actually
crossed the home plate, but one run
was lost in an unusual manner. Burns.
from third base, had raced home when
Moran caught Doyle's fly. The Boston
outfielder threw the ball toward the
home plate, but Capt. Doyle of the
GIANTS intercepted it at first. 1t was
his contention that the ball was too late
to catch Burns at home. The umpires
ruled that his interference retired the
base runner. and the score was lost.
Cfutcher pitched well for Boston, all
OF New York'S runs being due to err
rors. The Braves hit Tesreau hard. but
were helpless before the pitching of
