Crane VIII Remain.
Sam Crane will remain at short
stop until George Mcbride is fully
recovered from the attack OF indiges-
tion which kept him in bed air day
yesterday. Manager Griffith was well
satisfied with the'work OF the former
Baltimore Oriole.
"Crane looked good to me, in spite
OF his muff in the second that gave
the Yankees their first rum" said the
Old Fox this morning. I'm going to
let him stay in the game. and not
burden him with batting directions.
He got hold OF the ball better yester-
day than he has all spring. 1 shall
let him hit straightaway for a while,
and shall be surprised IL he doesn't
do much better than most OF us have
expected"
Mcbride left his bed fast evening
and said he felt kippier. but he was
noticeably abstemtious. Something
The Washington times., 1917-04-18

in his bill of fare interfered with his
stomach and gave him severe head
aches. When they passed, he was
able to get some sleep and recovered.
Mike Menosky is likely to be in
right field today as a result of the
injury received by Sam Rice in the
ninth inning yesterday.
Rice stopped a curve ball with his
knee, big bruise appearing on the
inside OF his left knee. Mike Martin,
mayor of Cherrydale, Va, gave the
injury his expert attention immedi-
ately, packing it in ice all last night,
but the wounded knee was still COM
planning today and Manager Griffith
will keep Sam out of the fray until
he can run easily.
Charlie King Kicks.
Charlie King. manager of Spalding's s
Washington branch, witnessed the
first game OF the Griffmen in the me-

plants over the hard luck the boys
had in losing.

fore either the bail or the runner had

When the amateur baseball players
enter upon their campaign this sum
mer, a number of those who attracted
attention last yeaT through excellent
performances will be missing from
the field.
More than a score have accepted pO-
sitions with minor league clubs and
will try their luck at the professional
pastime. Joe Stanley, the CORNER out
fielder of the Washington american
League club, has taken aearly half a
dozen of the youngsters to play with
his Lynchburg team, in the Virginia
League. and Tommy Crooks, another
former National, who played Irst
base, has gathered a number of the
boys for Frederick, in the Blue Ridge
League, of which club he is the leader.

TO HOLD Big DRILL
AT POLO GROUNDS
Huston Wants Players to Do
Their Bit in "Wake Up,
America" Campaign.
GRIFF LIKES CRANES WORK
Will Give Youngster a Little
Leeway at Short While
Mcbride Is Out.
By LOUIS A. DoUGHER.

NEW YORK, April 1s-Owing to
Capt. Til Huston's great interest in
the recruiting now being conducted
here, he has planned for an extensive
military exhibition for the Polo
Grounds tomorrow, thus doing his
share in the big Wake Up, America"
campaign here.
$50 long as our game is TO be
played and not held over until the
next time the Washington team is
here, we're going to do our best to
interest the fans who see the game
in the movement which will have a
monster parade down town." says
Captain Huston.
when the fans see the good of the
drill, as illustrated by our players on
the field, they will readily fall into
line as soon as possible. We are most
serious in this work and hope that
every fan will take quite as serious a
view of it as we do"
Huston Behind Movement.
Captain Huston, whose title is en-
tirely regular and not wished upon
him by a grateful marching club
somewhere, is responsible for the
drills being held by every American
League club but the Red Sox and bY
many minor league organizations. 1t
was on his suggestion that Ban John
son jammed the order through the
annual league meeting here last Feb
ruary. Huston has been working
hard to keep It alive, too.
Corporal Dean has received instruc-
tions from the War Department to
eliminate all setting-up drills. This
is easy for the simple reason that he
has never used them with the Grfff-
men. 1t was because of these move
ments that trouble arose in the ranks
of the Tigers and Indians in the
Southern training camps. Corporal
Dean wisely believed them unneces-
sary for athletes.
Allen Russell Superb.
Allen Russell, the little Yankee
pitcher, was superb in his first start
of the season against the Grjfmen.
His speed was excellent, his curve
ball a beauty, and he had many of
his opponents going after that wick
ed and most nefarious splitter. He
proved himself a worthy foeman for
the great Walter johnson.
But If Russell was good, so was
his rival on the rubber. johnson al
lowed two hits, one a weak bingle
past Foster by Peckinpaugh, and the
other triple to the wall by Pipp. 1t
wasn't Walters fault that his support
wRvered now and then, nor that
Tommy Connolly grievously erred
when he called Judge out in the sew
eRth. Barring these things, Johnson
might have won his game. However,
nothing is taken from Russell's skill.
He was powerful. Let him have all
the reward possible.
At the same time, had Johnson re-
ceived any kind Of luck, ne would

JOHNSON UNLUCKY
WHEN YANKEES WIN
All the Breaks Favor Allen Rus
sell in Brilliant Pitch
ing Duel.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-A daring
attempt by the. Grirmen to scuttle
the Yankee ship in the ninth
inning yesterday failed, and so
Walter Johnson was defeated, 2
to 1, after holding the. enemy
to two blows. Sam Rice was wounded
in the fray. a pitched ball landing
on his left knee and sending him to
the showers. George Mcbride was
wounded the night before by a filet
mignon or a Hungarian goulash or
something, so he never left the An
sonia Hospital, Sam Crane filling in
for him.
As the battle was fought, it was a
brilliant pitching duel between John
son and Allen Russell, the latter win
ming because things happened to go
his way. Both pitchers were in per-
feet fettle. using every bit OF art con-
nected with the game.
Fosters error let Pipp live to start
the second. After two had died,
Peckinpaugh rolled one past Foster,
and Pipp went over a moment later
when Crane dropped a short throw
from Ainsmith. That was tough, but
the run went.
Crane lost a beautiful chance to be-
come a Pennsylvania avenue hero In
the fourth when, after passes to Rice
and Judge and a single by Smith, the
bases were loaded for him Sam Just
smashed an easy one to Maisel and
died.
After one had gone in the seventh,
Pipp drove one of Johnson's fast ones
to the fence in right center for three
bases, counting on Bakers sacrifice
fly. That was the one run needed to
settle the game in favor of the
Yankees.
The real excitement came in the
ninth, when the Griffmen, becoming
desperate, set in to humble Russell
and his supporters.
Rice Is Wounded.
Rice was wounded after one was
gone, giving way on the paths to
Mike Menosky. Smith singled sharply
to right. Judge drove a single to
left, scoring Menosky. Smith trav-
eled all the way to third when High
booted the drive.
With Smith at third and Judge at
second, Crane rolled to MaiseI, who
pegged to the plate, getting Smith.
Nunamaker then saw Crane hiking
for second and let the ball fly in his
direction. Judge saw II and made q
daring effort to score. However, he
was called out.
Down here you'll find Johnson's
first hard-luck defeat Of the year:
