MACK LET'S OUT TWO MORE.
Rube Bressler and Tom Healy Re.
leased to Newark Club.

PHILADELPHIA, May 1.-two more
Athletic players were cut adrift by
Connie Mack yesterday. when he ship
ped Rube Bressler and Third Baseman
Tom Healey to the Newark Interna-
tional League club. They are to report
to Newark tomorrow.
Both men were signed to binding con-
tracts by the Athletics last year and
no doubt the local club will have to
bear some of the burden of the players
salaries while they perform for Newark
Bressler has been a failure as pitch
er for two years. In the 1914 season
RUDE gave promise of developing into
one of the best southpaws in the Amer
lean League. but. last year he fell
fiat, and this spring did not show a bit
of his 1914 flash. Mack carried him
along long enough this spring to give
him chance TO show, but he failed to
take advantage of the chance.
Healey is the youngster obtained from
the University of Pittsburgh last sum-
mer to play third base. but did not show
enough during the 1915 dash to warrant
a belief that he would make good. He
did not go south with the Athletics
this spring and reported to Mack only
a few weeks ago.

BY n. c. BYRD.

The annual high school championship
| track and field games will be held at
| College Park tomorrow afternoon. All
| five of the institutions are to have big
entry lists. and the general representa-
ton, according to the lists handed Prof.
Maurer of General High, are the
( largest in years. Business, Western,
Central, Technical and Eastern will be
the contestlng teams, with the chances
favoring Central and Technical to fight
out the battle for first honors.
! Central has carried off honors in
practically all the meets for about
| thirteen years. but it Is admitted that
it probably will have a hard fight to
| beat out Technical this time. If one
had to pick a probable victor the choice
would naturally fall on Central due
| to the confidence gained through it's
1 long string of successful seasons
Central. too. has some mighty good
men, being much stronger than Tech
| in the dashes
! Tech seems to base its hopes on the
! prowess of it's men in the distance con-
tests. The Manual Trainers are likely
to annex first places in the half and
mile while Central is practically Ger
! tain to be first across the finish in the
| 100. go and 440. The points scored in
! the field events will be the deciding
! factors. and it. will be those in which
Tech must score heavily to win. Cen
trail is almost sure to have the margin
in the running races.
Eastern and Western are to meet this
afternoon in the high school base ball
series in contest the decision of
u
lead. Western and Eastern are tied
now for first place, with Central and
Iech on even terms for third position
in the standing. Two games were
scheduled. but the one between Central
and Business has been postponed until
next week. Tomlin will do the pitching
for Eastern and Hird is to be on the
mound for Western. Both boys are ex-
pected to pitch good ball.
Representatives of Catholic Univer-
sity. Georgetown. Maryland Agricul-
tural College and ST. Adams School
will go to Baltimore this afternoon to
take part in the South Atlantic Asso-
citation of the Amateur Athletic Union
championships at Homewood Field.
The best athletes of these institutions
are to be in competition with the star
men of the Athletic clubs of Baltimore
and of Johns Hopkins University.

In the three games to be played, two
more here and one at Cleveland Sun
day, the Griffmen should have an ad-
vantage, for they should be able to pre-
sent stronger twirlers than the In
dians.
The showing of the Mackmen since
they have been playing at home is most
satisfactory, the team having an even
break in the number of games won and
lost. The St Louis Browns stopped off
there and lost two out of three, but
surprised themselves by winning two
straight from Boston by their victory
yesterday. Mack'S team seems to be
steadily improving. 1t is winning with
some regularity now. and by the time
the season is well under way il is like
Iy to be much more prominent in the
race. Mack should make a clean sweep
of the series with the White Sox a
team which is not hitting and which
lacks good pitching. BY doing this the
Athletics could pass the White Sox in
the race and place it in position to
gain the top of the second division.
According to Sid Keener of the St.
Louis Times. the attendance here in
Washington Is causing the officials of
the American League to wonder what
ails the town.
This probably is due to the fact that
the Browns did not draw many fans to
the park during their stay here, which
was largely due to the weather and the
poorness of the exhibitions which the
Browns presented here. Here is what
Keener says:
There's a cog slipping in the Amer
lean League wheel. 1t isn't the Browns
of course they're disappointing at
present; it isn't the Chicago White Sox,
and 1t isn't the Boston Red Sox. 1t is

son and the Nationals. but the fans are

| fashion. The secret was exposed last
week when the Browns played four
games and, according to estimates by
| st. Louis writer's. the receipts for the
Browns for the four days fell below
| $500

surface. A city that will not support a
club that is UP there fighting for the
pehnant IN May cannot expect to linger
long if Ban johnson has anything to
say. In the recent war days it was
different, and many Of the teams were
ignored by the fans, but peace Is with
US. which should mean prosperity for
the magnates.
IT would not surprise us to see a
sniff in the American League. with
Washington dropping out.
Washington may not want to step
out: but look out if Ban says so.
"A year ago Washington put on a
walter johnson day-his eighth ami
versary with the Nationals-and We
have it that the attendance that day
was less than 1000"
That the Washington public wants
an attraction at the bah park which
justiffes it's patronage is of course true
A team like the Browns. which is in
last place, is not apt to create lot
of interest here, and the team did not
furnish a real match for the Griffmen.
Cleveland. which is leading the pro-
cession, and with which the Nationals
are fighting for the position, brought
about an entirely different showing
yesterday. when the crowd outnum :
bered that of the opening day, there
being 1900 paid admissions to the
Enclosure. Let that Brown outfit be-
come winner and factor in the race.
and the fans will turn out to them as
they do to ma jority of the teams.
There is going to be a great hurrah
raised over the Cleveland team when
Washington plays the Indians in Cleve-
land next Sunday. The indications are
that If the weather is suitable the at
tendance will tax the capacity Ac-
cording to reports, one-half Of the
seats for the game Sunday already
have been sold, and the demand is so
great that it is estimated that the
ropes will have to be stretched around
the field to accommodate the thirty or
more thousand who will want to see
the struggle. The occasion is to be
known as Elmer Smith day." and a

he graduated was a lieutenant of one
