CERTAIN VICTORS
LOSE TO YANKEES
Hook for GalIia at the Right
Time Might Have Land
ed Battle.

NEW YORK, April 19.-The Grif-
men have yet to win a game in New
York this season. For a time yes
tsrday they looked certain victors,
but Grifrs tender heart kept him
from applying the hook to Bert Gallia
until four runs had come over for
the Yanks, tying up the count By
that time It was too late. Doc Ayers
might have won, had he started, but
he lost, to 8. 1t was quite the
sleepiest and sloppiest game imagin-
able.
Urban Shocker opened poorly, and
the CapitoIians jumped into a four
run lead when Leonard walked,
Shocker and Maisel contributed er-
rors, Smith doubled, and Judge sin
Eled. After that Shocker grew con-
stantly better, allowing but two hits
and one run to the end Judge
walked, stole, and tied the score on
Henry's safety in the sixth.
Bert. GaIIIa TOtters.
The second frame saw Gallia totter-
ing, for he passed Pipp, gave Baker
a scratch hit, and filled the corners
with q pass to Peck. Big Nuna-
makers double to left brought in
Pipp and Baker.
In the third the Yanks evened mat
ters. High walked and was forced.
Pipp doubled and Bakers single
brought over two runs. Magee's
safety brought Ayers to the rubber,
and for q while the ferocity of the
Yanks vanished.
Yankees Go Ahead.
Bakers walk, a wild pitch. and
Peck's hit gave the Yanks a lead In
the fifth.
When the Griffs tied II in the sixth
the home boys came back VITA an
other. Shocker singled and was
forced. High singled, and as he was
dying at second, Gilhooley scored.
Peck and Nunamaker singled in
the eighth, and Shocker's perfect
bunt squeezed his captain across for
the final run.
Close study OF the box score shows
that hits usually decides game, so
here's the box score:

The Griffmen open their season here
tomorrow. There will be copsider-
ably more ceremony than has at
tended games in the past few years.
Military drill and flag raising incl
dents will be of more than passing
interest. "Brief, but snappy," IL the
slogan Griffith's clan Is playing good
baseball, despite the number of losses.
Breaks in the luck are bound to oc-
cur. There is every indication that
the Mackmen can be trampled upon,
and Griff would do well to have his
team right on edge for the opening.
It was 80 cold at one Of the Detroit
Cleveland games that Harry HeIlman,
the center fielder, wore kid gloves In
addition to his ielders glove. The
most sensible course in such weather
as that would be to wear no gloves
at all but to have the hands within
easy reach of a CRATE fre, with the
game postponed.
The following appears In a ST. Louis
paper: Keep your mind on this-All
that the baseball players learned
about military affairs during their
spring training wouldn't enable an
army Of them to cross the street, II
ordered to-" Nothing could be more
unwarranted than that assertion.
Anybody who has seen the Griffmen
drill knows that they have done
capitally for the time they've been at
1t and made big progress. And the
same goes for other teams Of the
American League, especially the
Yankees.

MAY CHANGE DATES
IN SCHOOL SERIES
Conflict With Military Drill
Periods Likely to Make Re-
vision in Schedule.

While the high school baseball
series may be somewhat changed on
J account OF the fact that orders have
been received for extra cadet drills
which conflict with the dates for the
title games, Eastern and Western
\ will take the field at Union League
Park at $3.50 tomorrow afternoon.
William Handiboe, umpire for sew
eral title series in the past. has been
selected to handle the indicator. The
faculty advisers will meet on Monday
at Mckinley High School to deter
mine just what shall be done with the
remaining nine games on the
schedule.
Extra drill periods have been or
dered for high school cadets which
will take many players from the
baseball ranks. This will so seriously
handicap the teams that they will bo
unable to take the field.
High school principals are expected
to take the matter up for discussion
this week, SO that the advisers can
| change the schedule on Monday.
There is a possibility that games
can be played at Georgetown at
times, and the revised schedule may
find the teams meeting there.
Eastern and Western will start to-
morrow unless the weather is bad.
Both teams are somewhat weak and
possessed Of green material. Eastern
has three veterans, while Western
has two. Owen will probably pitch
for Eastern and Davidson for West

Endorsement of the proposed retire,
