If Connie Mack has been complaining
about his poor pitching. he should perk
UP a bit after the work of Shawkey
and Wycoff here. Both pitchers have
gone the route in fine fashion, and
don't seem to be suffering much from
the absence of those veterans, Bender,
Plank. and Coombs. But possibly Con-
ME was only kidding. Anyway, the
Griffmen never succeeded in getting
more than one hit in any one frame.
Some spectacular but foolish running

MoeIIer, Morgan, Rondeau, and
Johnson Combine to Win
From Athletics.

Dan Moellers reckless running, Ray
Morgan's splendid stopping Of ground
balls, Henri Rondeau's smooth per-
formance in the garden and Walter
Johnson's whirlwind fiinging gave the
Griffmen their second successive VIC
tory over tho Athletics yesterday, 1
to 0. Had any one OF these factors been
absent. they might have been playing
yet.
Dan Moeller opened the combat with
a walk. He had a lengthy lead when
Fosters hit-and-run play sent a clean
single through the vacant shortfield In
stead Of pulling up at the midway. Dan
made a daring break for third. 1t was
nuts for Old Rube Oldring to get him at
third, his short peg beating Dan by a
foot or two. But Mcconnell dropped
the ball as Mullaney the Mastodon
ruled Moeller out. Wow, that hurt, for
Milan's sacrifice fly scored Moeler with
the lone tally Of the afternoon.

PROBABLE LINEUP.
By LOUIS A. DOUGHER.
Game at $3.50 p. m.

Manager Clark Griffith will to-
morrow take to Boston his entire
lineup for the first long trip away
from home. Ramiro Sieglie, the
Cuban infelder, will be the only
player connected with the Griffmen
to stay here. The Old Fox doesn't
know what to do with him. He has
been seeking a place for the young
ster, but to date has been unable to
land a job for him. Though the man
ager is unwilling to talk much about
Sieglie's future, it is possible that
he will let Sieglie go to the Long
Branch Cubans, if he fails to find a
berth for the lad.
"Irl take all the other players on
the trip" said Griff today. 81 have a
hunch that we'll have some luck on
this coming trip. We have been
hearing so much about the Boston
club that we want to upset their
hopes. I think that my batsmen
will about hit their stride when we
take to the road. We have always
played good ball away from home
and this trip, therefore, should be
successful. If it is, we should come
home in high position"
Tomorrow's game with the Mackmen
will begin at 2:45 o'clock. This Is done
to allow a full game to be played and
still have the Griffnieu catch the Fed
eral Express for Boston. On Saturday
they open a four.game series in the
Hub. From Boston they come back as
far as Philadelphia. and then hit the
trail through the Western half Of the
circuit. They will not return to Wash
ington until May 90
Charlie Comiskey has sent Larry
Chappell back to Milwaukee, and thus
ends the career of one more major

DIAGNOSIS: Measles is most likely to

PREVENTION: As in all contagious
diseases of childhood, the patient
should be completely quarantined.

should be carefully handled and dis
infected.
TREATMENT: The patient should be
confined to bed in a we'll ventilated

Extract from ''The Musical Courier Extra.
POOLE PIANOS.

This paper has on many occasions
made reference to the pianos manufac-
tured by the Poole Piano Company. of
Boston, and as time progressed and
opportunities for development presented
themselves, we have discussed the
merits of these pianos. They have now
reached such stage that. as matter
of mere duty and justice to them, The
Musical Courier Extra can unhesitat-
ingly state that they are instruments
which are produced in a first class,
carefully adjusted, and scientific meth
cd; that they are constructed of the
best material; that they are made by
workmen who are selected with the
care and prudence necessary for the
building Of fine instrument. In con-
sequence of this the Poole Piano is, in
tone. among the best of the pianos
made today, and it is so adjusted in
touch as to meet the demands of per-
formers and players that seek sym
pathetic musical instrument for their
work The place which has been at
tanned by the Poole Piano has been
reached after years of the most earnest
attention to piano structure, and through
the decision and determination to reach
this level for the purpose of satisfying
in the trade and among musicians, a
demand for an instrument which will
crafty the artistic sense, and which
will give piano players and musicians
satisfaction. So far as durability is
concerned, there is not the slightest
question Of the endurance of the instru-
ments; and so far as their finish and
outward appearance are concerned,
other pianos do not excel them in these
respects. Furthermore, their cases are
in consonance with modern taste, and
are made to grace the homes Of the best
citizens. In addition to this, it may be
we'll to say that the Poole Piano Com
pany is financially so situated that
every guarantee or warrant issued by
that Company on it's instruments is a
financial guarantee for the purchaser.
We make these statements here unhes-
itatingly, as we have said before, be-
cause it is matter of duty to the in
strument and the Company to do this

MEASLES DEADLY.

This is the season when parents
should guard against measles. In this
state over seven out of ten deaths, and
a proportionate number of cases, occur
in the first half of the calendar year, Or
from January to June.
NATURE: Measleas is highly con-
tagious disease, characterized by symp-
toms of a cold in the head and a rash
which appears first upon cheek and
forehead The general public and even
many physicians underestimate the
seriousness of measles, the complica-
tions of which make it one of the most
dangerous of the eruptive fevers.
The contagion (the germ has not vet
been discovered) is carried most COM
monty by discharges from the nose,
and may be carried by third person.
One attack does not give absolute pro-
lection from further infection. Con-
trary to common belief, there may be
even three or four attacks.
SYMPTOMS: The disease begins (most
commonly about fourteen days after
infection) with symptoms OF severe
"cold in the head sDeezing, running
nose, chilliness. cough, etc. The fever
may rise as high as 104 degrees +.
The rash, beginning on cheeks and
forehead in the form of red, shotty
dots, spreads to neck and chest. The
general symptoms and prostrations may
be very severe. The peeling usually
begins two or three days after the rash
appears.
COMPLICATIONS: Measles itself rarely
causes death. Complications, however
