PATRIOTIC ROOTERS

Then Big Leaguers Turn Around
and Defeat Indians in Ten
Furious Frames.

I NEWARK, N. J., April e.-That Jer-

Sergt. Smith p. Gibson before turn
ing to and defeating the Indians.

The big leaguers. led by a band
from a local playground, made a com
plete circuit of the playing field, the
fans cheering and yelling. Manager
Donovan was much pleased by the
showing of his players and by the
fans reception.
GiIhooIey's single in the tenth
broke UP the tie. but four runs were
counted before the Yanks were killed
of
"Slim" Love, who started the game
for the Yanks, had all sorts of "stuf'
on the ball, and allowed only one hir
in three innings. He also struck out
six batsmen and did not walk a man.
This was especially pleasing to Man
ager Donovan, as lack of control IL
one of Loves big handicaps.
GiIhooley shared the honors OF the
afternoon with Love. as not only did
he drive in the winning run, but on
four of his five trips to the rubber
he drove out safe hits.

In addition to canceling the annu-

VIII the Red Sox repeat?

Will the Red Sox repeat?
Are the White Sox sure to win this
year?
Can the Griffmen land a first divi'
sion berth?
Won't the Yankees, with every man
in shape. be a winner?
How can anybody overlook the
Tigers, now that they have a few
good pitchers?
These are the questions tormenting
American League fans on the eve OF
the 1917 campaign and ii is most diff
acult to answer even one Of them.
Grinmen Are Stronger.
The Griffmen, as they line up today,
are stronger than they were last
April. But they are no stronger than
they were in September, unless expe-
rience may have aided Rice, Smith,
and Leonard.
Until Ray Morgan wrenched his
ankle in New York early last season,
the Griffmen were ever in the hunt.
His injury shattered the teamwork
because substitutes OF class were un-
available. Later Joe Judges injuries
and illness prevented a come back"
until Leonard and Smith were OBJ
tanned and Rice went to the outfeld.
The bright spark in all this lies
in the fact that the 1917 team has
better second string men than the
1916 outfit.
Morgan Ever Ready. .
Ray Morgan, a second string man
this year. is ever ready to enter the
lineup. The very fact that a regular
OF a year earlier is a substitute now
should mean something to the fans.
Illness or injury cannot offer the same
stiff punishment that it did last
spring.
Mike Menosky appears a far heavier
hitter than the extra outfielders OF
last season and II 10 by no means GER
tain that he will have to remain on
the bench this year.
Ainsmith is in excellent health this
year. which will mean much in the
performances of Walter johnson, who
won twenty-five games last year, fire.

BOWLING SEASON
Is NEARING END
Dozen Leagues Close Schedules
and Others Will Quit in
Short Time.

Nearly dozen duckpin leagues
have concluded their schedules for
the season OF 1916-17 and within q
week or two league competition will
cease almost entirely.
Attention then will be centered in
the seventh annual tournament OF the
District Duckpin Association, to be
decided on the Grand Central alleys
beginning April 30. Entries for the
event close April % at midnight
A majority OF the organizations nm
ishing their games early are of the
minor type. Chief among the excep-
tions are the Knights Of Columbus, in
which De Soto won the championship
after close race with Trinidad, and
the Capital City, which declared Raj
tery's Northeast team its champion.
Titles to Auditors and Contract.
Auditors took the pennant in the
Southern Railway Clerks League by
a decisive margin over all other COM
petitors. Contract won the title in
the Chesapeake and Potomac Tele-
phone circuit when the team defeated
Construction in the rop-or of tie
after the 1eague'sSegulaf season had
ended.
Other leagues finishing their games
are the Interdenominational Recla-
nation, Bureau of Standards, ONO
Class, Anacostia, Fourteenth Street,
Capitol Hill, and Bureau of Printing
and Engraving. The Comets are the
title winners OF the Hyattsville
League.
Masonic Season Ends May Il.
Rolling in a few leagues will con-
tinue through a part OF next month,
but nearly all OF the prominent cir
cults will wind up their games this
week or next.

ers," should attain high rank in oc-
tober. Whether or not they will win
the pennant cannot be conjectured, so
many days are yet to pass. 1t re-
quires little Imagination to choose a
first division berth for them.
Here's how the American League
shape up to the writer on the eve
of the campaign, without allowing
friendships to dictate opinion:
washington-Weak at first base;
good pitchers; fair batsmen; fast
runners and fielders; brainy outfit.
Red Sox May Crack.
Boston-Excellent pitchers; fair
batsmen; fast in places and just as
slow in others; brainy, game team,
but may crack on third trial.
Chicago Good pitchers; some
heavy batsmen; good infielders in
spots; little brains in tight places.
Detroit-Rocky pitchers, many
about done; heavy batsmen, but gen
orally slow; plenty of brains and
gameness.
New York Dangerous.
New York-Good pitchers; some
heavy batsmen; fast runners; danger
Gus opponents.
St. Louis-Fair pitchersJ one or
two classy men, like Sisler; ill-bal-
anced infield: brainy team when
Jones runs things right.
Cleveland-Fair pitchers, though
some doubtful; fair batsmen, smart
infield, not speaking of first base,
which is an experiment not likely to
stick.
Philadelphia-Weak pitchers; heavy
batsmen: fast fielders: plenty OF
brains in methodical way; may be sur
prise of race.
Three Are Favored.
The pennant should go to one OF
these three teams: New York, Boston
or Detroit, without the order meaning
anything.
Washington and Chicago should be
IN the hunt, falling out as herein
named.
Philadelphia, strengthened in many
ways, should upset much dope built
up on last years performances.
Cleveland and st. Louis hardly seem
powerful enough or steady enough to
achieve victory, or even to finish in
the first division.

The Washington times., 1917-04-09

With the baseball season almost
here, Washington fans are wondering
where the Grifmen will finish. So is
the Old Fox. Experience shows that
Il Is impossible to pick a winner In
April or May. In 1914 the Boston
Braves were hopelessly out Of the
race on July 4, yet that very day saw
them begin their headlong rush that
brought them a pennant and worlds
championship. On paper the Griffs
look quite as formidable as most of
the clubs in Ban Johnson's league.
This one or that may have the heavier
hitters or the better pitching, but
titles don't always go to the sluggers
or the teams with the stellar twirling.
1t Is a long road to October, and, II
the Griffmen have fair luck, they
should be in the hunt for final hon.
orS.
The call to arms against the Ger
man foe finds the United States re-
peating the tale of Great Britain, for
everywhere athletes are rushing to

strength in defense of their native
land. It is on this account that col
lege sports are being abandoned for
the sterner sport OF war. On every
field athletes have done well in this
lamentable war. German, Austrian,
French, English, Scottish, Irish, Can

athletes have borne the heat OF the
