Judge to Be Presented With Diamond
Ring by Former Fellow Workers.

% danger that the Players Fraternity
would ever be dissolved.
Griffith intended to make arrange
meuts to have the players go out 10
the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon
and timber up. So he called up Blil
Donovan and asked for PERMISSION.
"1 ou have my permission. but there IS
just returned and the entire park IS
flooded. There is no place even Tor
the pitchers to work. and. of course, L
am just as anxious to have mine WORK
end ot all chances for working out and
the players have now been idle Two

Joe Judge is to be presented with a
diamond ring if there is a game played
today. and if he should not get the
ring at this time he would be partlcu-
larly disappointed. as he would have
to wait until next trip here to have the
presentation made.
Judge was at one time an employe
of the New York Edison Company, and
the employees OF this concern, 500
strong. planned to be on hand this aft
ernoon to root for him and also give
him the diamond ring.
The showing of former Federal League
players in the first game of the big
leagues compares favorably with that
of their associates. This is taking them
on the whole. Let us see what they
did: Lee MaSee of the Yankees fielded
perfactly, made one scratch hit off of
puissant johnson and by fine running
made possible one of the New York
runs; Ed konctchy made two hits and
no errors: John Tobin of the Browns
| had no put-outs and did nothing else:
Grover Hartley made one hit and
caught without a flaw; Benny kauf
made no hits in three times up but
stole the only base for the Giants and
played cracking good fielding game.
including a throw worthy of Speaker;
Rarlden made one hit in four times up
and caught fair game; Anderson, rs
a pitcher, was weak against the Phil
lies: Flack of the Cubs made three hits
in three times up, Yerkes one in two
times uo and Mann none in one time
up: all three fielded without an error
George Mcconnell won his game against
the Reds easily and held them to seven
| hits ana one run. May be out of their
element. but the showing is fair the

NEW YORK, April 13.-Managers Grif-
fifth and Donovan hope to play the second
and final game of the first series between
the Nationals and Yankees at the Polo
Grounds today 1t stopped raining here
late yesterday afternoon, and. Whlle the
grounds were reported to be ankle deep
in mud this morning, Capt. Huston gave
assurance that enough workmen would
be put to work this morning and
enough gasoline burned on the dia-
mond to make the game today possible.
1t has rained here for two nights and
a day and the grounds are known to
he decidedly soft from recent rains. so
that with the last drenching they got
they are sure to lie very mushy.
If there should be a game the
chances are Harper will be selected to
do the pitching, and he should 20 good
off the high pitching mound. for he Is
an overland twirlcr and would be
helped by such a condition. Fisher Is
likely to be Donoyan's selection. though
lie may put ore of his left-handers in
against the Nationals. for he is we'll
supplied in this respect, having Mo-
gridse, Love. Markle and TWO others
to draw from.
Clyde Milan probably broke 4 world 5
record i'll the opening game by making
a clean home run for the first hit in an
opening game in the first inning. That
has never been done before. and while
there are no medals handed down for
such feat. it is nevertheless a remark
able performance. and one that Will so
down in history as one OF the freak
ish things that have happened in base
bail. Milan hit that ball hard. 1t was
also the first ball pitched to him. and
II would have been a home run on almost
any field. for it struck near the top rows
of the bleachers and was hit on a line.
If there should he no game here today
il is more than likely that Johnson will
be pitched in the opening game OF the
season at Boston. In that event he then
would leave for Washington Monday
night to rest up for the opening game in

the National Bowling Association

tenpin mark in the singles all to
nearly eighty pins. Kramer rolled for
a set of $40. the former record having
been 561. He never fell below 200 in
any game. hitting the pins in his first
frame for just that score, and IN his
other two he got 205 and 235. Hines.
another New York bowler. obtained a
count in the tenpin singles which
placed him second. next to Kramer
naples. for which he scored games of
213. 21S and 1875. Hines won the
championship in the "all events" class
of the A. c. B. a. tournament year
ago in Boston.
The Manufa cturers' Club OF Philadel
phia proved better than any of the
other teams that have rolled tenpins.
Its bowlers hit the wood for count
of 2,160, scoring more than 900 pins in
each of the three games. The counts
were 925. 91s and 911.,
Bicking, lead-off man for the Manu-
facturers, was the star individual OF
the team. He got two counts of more
than 200 each. and in his other game
toppled 172. So well did the men from
the Quaker City bowl that only one
player failed to register at least one
game of more than 200.

There are days when the ball from

difference.
A New York friend of Griff dropped
| In at the Washington clubs headuuar-
terS yesterday to place a small WAGER
! The proposition was that Fritz Maisei
would outbat and outsteal Clyde Milan
the Linden Antelope. Griff took the
bet. The battle between these two la st
season shows what an even thing it is
Milan outbatted Maisel, .2SS to .2S1. but
Fritz outpilfered Clyde by 81 bases to
40. Milan stole "A bases in 1913 and
Maisel stole "A in 1914. Both are
flashes around the towpaths. This con-
| test should be in the nature of a pippin.
The Senators have one ball player in
tow whose case is without parallel in
the history of the sport, so far as we
he has been star with Washington
for eight years, and yet in all that time
he never has batted as high as .240.
Any ball player who can be counted
of great value with an eightyear bat
ting average around go must be Il
bird. and George Mcbride is nothing
less. While poor hitter, he is not
only a grand shortstop, but also is an
aggressive and heady field lieutenant
and fine man to promote harmony
and develop morale upon any club.
Just why most great shortstops should
be pop-eyed at bat is mystery. but,
in addition to Mcbride, there are Bush.
Doolan, Peckinpaugh. MaranYille. Scott
