candidates There are to be six games
played here in three days, weather per-
| hitting, and that is going to keep the
Griffmen decidedly busy, particularly
the pitchers. not to speak of John
Henry who now is the only catcher
available because Ainsmith is on the
hospital list and Griffith is not apt to
take a chance with Williams, because
of his inability to prevent base run
ming. To have man behind the bat
who cannot throw is the greatest hand1-
cap which could possibly be saddled ON
ball team. So. Henry will be asked
to do all the work until Ainsmith re-
covers and gets back into, harness.
Douglas Nen will in all probability
have to play in all the games here, for.
as said before, Morgan looks far from
being in condition to play. Neff showed
splendid form until that game in New
York which Jim Shaw lost because
Douglas made a throw to second with
two out, when he should have tossed
the ball to first and retired the side.
That mistake cost run and the game,
, and it seemed to affect the youngster
so that'he appeared to be timid and
ratified in the subsequent games. But
this is to be expected from youngster
who lacks experience. and he is apt to
come right back and play up to his
standard.
If all ball players were as willing to
work as is John Henry the managers
duties would be much more pleasant.
Henry never grumbles about work.
Whenever he is called upon to catch
he is ready and willing. and he is apt
to have very long stage of it with
many double headers thrown in. yet he
will be able to do good work and not
complain of being overworked.
1t would not be at all surprising if
Nick Altrock were used to finish some
of the games here if the young pitch
ers show indications of faltering. Old
Nick has gotten himself in pretty fair
shape working out every day and he
contends that ne can hold his own
right now when given proper rest be-
tween games Nothing would please
Nick more than to get an opportunity
to pitch again. He claims there is
nothing wrong with his arm, and that
he is just as competent now as he ever
was in his career and that he is more
than willing to prove it. Nick says he
will show up well as Jack Coombs
has for Brooklyn, and it is not at all
unlikely that he will be given an OPP
portunity during the Nationals stay in
this city.

NO ACTION ON GAMES.
European Nations Too Busy With
War TO Worry About Olympics.

NEW YORK. July 5-An authorize
tive statement relative to the Olympic
games Of 1916. scheduled for Berlin.
has been made by Baron Pierre de Cou-
bertin, president of the international
Olympic committee. The executive OF
the International body has announced
that no action regarding the Olympic
games has been or will be taken by the
supreme organization during the con-
tinuance Of the European war
He says the members of the commit
tee consider 1t improper at this time to
think of the prepar ration for approa CHI
ing fetes, and that they will take part
in no discussions relative to such
events Baron de Coubertin takes oc-
casion to deny that there Is any truth
In the reports that the Olympic games
will be transferred to some nation not
iect of the committee at this time, he
says, is to pursue its work Of improv-
ing the physical development of young
men.
That European sportsmen hold the
idea that there will be no Olympic meet
ency with which the Belgian commit
tee, backed by the government. main
tains the right of Belgium to the games
of 1890. This meet was awarded to
Antwerp, and apparently the Belgium
committee fears that In the event of
1915 passing without an Olympic meet
tho 1890 contests will revert to Berlin.
II IL understood that pressure to clear
up this point brought forth the state
ment by Baron de Coubertin outlining
the present position OF the information

Coach .Hecox of the Analostan Boat
Club has high hopes that his crews
will make a splendid showing in the

at Philadelphia today. Hecox. while
he would make no predictions as to

counts of themselves.
Il am not foolish enough to think
that / have any world beating crews

is no doubt that the boys are. in good

will govern the results of the races
considerably. We have been put back
by having 10 make some changes in
the boats. and there is no telling how
that will affect the work. especially
as this is the first time the boys have
ever been in real competition.
las to whether we will win. that Is
such a prediction. We have at least
an even chance to take first place in
the Junior event, feel rather sure. and
also ought to make a great fight in the
intermediate, II is impossible for me to
foresee the conditions that may arise
to change the aspect of things. but il
would not be surprise to see the
junior and intermediate eights win.
The senior eights showing will depend
much on the condition of the boys.
most of the ones who will be in that
race will have taken part in one of
the other two and some of them will
have rowed in both. SO YOU see they
may be TOO tired to show at their best
he dstatr hat
we are opposed in the senior race to
some of the best club crews in the
country. we will have a chance provid
ed the boys are not too tired. AS for
the senior four, you know as well as
do that that liz the hardest race for
we'll: our four has speed enough TO nm
ism IN front. but whether II will get
the steering which is the most essen
tial factor IN that event is hard to tell.
as tho Vesper Club of Philadelphia is
represented by four veteran oarsmen
in the same contest.
We have not had very good luck this
year with our crews, several OF the
boys having been shifted to take places
made vacsn Mt by men who were removed
because of sickness or boils. Therefore
j think that for whatever the boys
accomplish they will deserve a great
deal Of credit
The Analostan shells were sent to
Philadelphia yesterday and the crews
left this morning on an early train. All
the boys appeared confident that they
would make good Notwithstanding
that they are to go against strong
boats.

FOR NOT TELLING EVERYTHING

Held to Be Not Convincing.

soned that he would not be losing a
great deal, in a money way at least, if
he did part with those players who
he was led to believe. were playing ball
more for money than for the glory of
victory.
The ease with which the Athletics
won the 1914 pennant made it look like
a good bet that they would be able to
defeat any team that might win the
Nationals title. It's all history now
how the Boston Braves hung up a new
record in winning the world series by
defeating the Athletics in four straight
games. When that feat was performed
1t was the consensus of opinion, with
out detracting from the splendid
play OF the Braves. that the Mack
men were not doing their best 1t
would be appreciated If Connie Mack
had como right out and told just what
was the matter with his team and his
players. Instead. he leaves it all to in
ference. After saying. that there was
not chance for him to hold any of the
players he has let go. he refers to the
famous Baltimore Orioles and Chances
Chicago Cubs. which teams were dis
rupted when the players reached that
stage where they felt they knew more
about running a ball team than the
com binations. From the stories that
sift through from the players bench
such condition of affairs is easily i'm
agined as having existed among the
Mackmen.
Therefore we have 1t from Mr.. Mack
that those who are no more are the
ones who had outlived their usefulness
through the dissatisfaction stirred up
ny the FEDERAL League and its one-time
oner OF princely salaries. Two of the
hrst to slip out from the Mackmen were
Plank and Bender. AS those two pitch
ers are no longer young, are going. not
coming, no serious obstacle was placed
in their path to the Federals. Coombs
was allowed to pass out because, it is
said. he did not seem to appreciate the
treatment accorded him while laid I'D
through illness and accident, and there
fore was not considered desira BILE as a
member of the pitching staff The case
of Collins is another thing, and ii can
only be inferred from Connie Mack's
with the exaggerated ego and other
such ailments, which prevented him
from giving his most useful services to
the Athletic team as Mr.. Mack saw it.
Barry's departure was more or less
anticipated, and 1t was even surmised
after the last world series that Jack
would not even be with the team at the
start Of this year. That. however. does
not say that neither Collins nor Barry
10 not great ball player. 1t simply
means that they are done so far as the
they are dome" Mr.. Mack is so far
keeping to himself. AS remarked be-
fore, Mr. Mack's Confession" Is all
right as far as 1t goes, but 1t doesn't
go far enough to he satisfying or con-
vincing.
