Smiling Bill
Plenty of Hitting Against
All Styles Marks Regu-

By w. O. MCCLELLAN

Macon. Ga, March 13.-lt was anoth-
or swatsome afternoon for the Yankee
cxpeditionary forces cntrenched here
on the gorgeously green banks Of the
Ocmulgee River. The Regulars. fall
ing ferociously upon the unframed
Volunteers. slammed Monroe, McGraw
and Ferguson for eleven emphatic hits
and piled up score of 9 to in SIX
innings.
Wild Bill Donovan has withdrawn
his charge Of failure TO hit, which was
fled against the Yankee squad several
days ago, and has substituted one OF
stuffless pitching against the hurting
department. Being still a pitcher at
heart, Wild William regards a game
filed with hitting as an offence against
.he national pastime.
Big I'D Monroe, the Tennessee IuI-
iirc. started in the box for the Noi,
Uutecrs. aud for two innings he WAS an
that could be desired. Donovan, who IS
inclined 10 regard the Turbine with
considerable affection because Monroe
has q motion that is ike the Donovan
motion i'm the days when Donovan was
Good. and very. very good at that, was
beaming for two innings
Turbine Gets "Hot Box
But in the third inning the Turbine
started 10 blow, and when a pitcher
who looks like a twin brother TO jess
Willard starts TO blow there IS con
siderable atmospheric disturbance. Ihe
Turbine unwound and walked Plercy
and Gilhooley. Hughie High laid down,
nice sacrifice, and Monroe passed
Maisel, filing the outposts.
Then came Walter Waldemar flpp'
rival to Home Run Baker, swinging
three bats. With scrupulous care ne
selected the heaviest one and leaned on
one of Monroe's curves. The shot
broke in deep centre, clearing the bags
and putting Pipp comfortably on third
Monroe's agitation increased, and ne
passed Baker. Hendryx lobbed one to
Gedeon. who made a wild heave at third
and Pipp came across with the tour'n
run.
Robert McGraw. the Colorado collie
cian. went into the box for the Nolun-
teers in the fourth inning. His troubles
began before he had his feet comfort
ably installed into position. Alexander
welcomed him with two-bagger kuS-
sell walked. and Gilhooley promptly
connected with another two-oagger'
scoring Alexander. Russell scored on
Highs infeld hit and Gllhooley orosseu
on Maisels bunt to McGraw.
The Regulars started after McOraW
again in the fifth. HendryX lahdeG on
an infeld hit and Peckinpaugh sent MN
TO third with a clean two-Dagger 70
IL "a n
when McGraw was taken out and Alex
ander Ferguson. the Jersey Scot. was
sent in to save the cay.
Ferguson Bumps Into Trouble
Ferguson saved the inning, but his
troubles started 70 come in the sixth.
Fritz Maisel beat a bunt and Nallle
Pipp got two bases on a swat along the
first base line that eluded Lee Magee by
quarter of an inch. Maisel scored
on q sacrifice fly by j. Franklin Baker
and Sergeant Tim Hendryx brought
pipp through with a clean drive 70 lett
feld
The Volunteers were completely baf-
fed for two innings by William Percy
the blushing bridegroom Of III Monte
Cal. This young Native Son suggests
Christy Mathewson while in action. lie
looked more and more like the old mas,
ter for two innings. Then came the ola
blow-oif.
Knaupp slammed out clean single,
but was nailed by Highs throw IN ms
ambition TO make it ride for double.
l. was Edward Monroe, though, who
took the most unkind swat at Piercy.
The Turbine swung unanimously, and
catching one right on the beak lifted
IL TO centre for a two-bagger. The ball
travelled 50 far that anybody but Mon
roe might have got all the way around
on il. But Monroe is not the kind or
youth who runs from anything. As a
sprinter he is in the class with Chlet
Meyers. Magee's hit TO centre scored
the Turbine.
Il was Angel Aragon, the Cuban In
surrecto. who brought in the two runs
for the Volunteers I'm the sixth. The
little insurgent is full of the revolu-
tionary spirit these spring days, and is
making a gallant battle for the utility
inheld post.
Paddy Baumann in Camp
Prodigal Paddy Baumann reported
for practice to-day and took chance
at pinch hitting. lie neither. pinchcd
nor hit. Paddy, with knapp and Ara
Con. is the third applicant for that
uulity infeld job. There was very
little veal in the Hotel Dempsey for
Paddy when he did slip his suitcase 10
the bcllhop. Prodigals arc not so
popular as they were in the days Of
the Federal League. They do not send
brass bands 90 esco them from the
stations any more.
Mr. Daniel Triple is the only nom
arrival now. The Yankees will, how
over, attempt 10 play baseball this year,
even .f he fails 20 report.
Allan Russell showed considerable
improvement to-day. lie has picked up
4 slow bali. which enables him 20 give
2 change Of pace which doubles mis-
efficiency
