Series in Boston on
Patriots Day

WASHINGTON, April 1S.- Clark
Griffith, manager of the Senators.
called off the game scheduled to-day
with the New York Yankees Griffith
gave wet grounds as the reason for
his action. AS a matter of fact, the
weather was far from favorable in
the morning, but at noon the skies
cleared and game could easily have
been played, especially when it is re-
called that the Washington club starts
its contests at 1880.
The unofficial explanation for the
cancelling of the game is that Griff
had no pitchers to send against the
Yanks. He was even worse off in
twirling timber than Miller Huggins,
and Hugs situation was bad enough.
The Yankees were somewhat disap-
pointed at the decision of their rivals.
as it will mean the playing of four
games in five days when they next
visit the capital IN July. The New
Workers left here tonight for Boston,
where morning and afternoon games
are on the programme. due to the cell
ebration of Patriots Day.
Yankees Hit Hard
The series with the Senators. thus
brought to an untimely end, served to
emphasize two things: first, that the
Yankees are a powerful hitting aggre-
cation, and, second, that they are wo-
fully weak in the pitching department.
Ruppert's men scored 20 runs in the
three games, and made total of 81
hits. This would be a most glorious
showing were it not offset by the fact
that the Senators gathered II runs
and made 20 hits. What's the use of
piling up hits and runs if the other
fellows do the same thing?
The leading slugger of the Yankees
was Elmer Miller, centre fielder, who
was at bat 13 times. and collected
hlts for an average of 1884 Wally
Pipp and Home Run Baker were tied
Tor second place, with an average of

Peckinpaugh in Bud Luck
Roger Peckinpaugh, the Yankee cap-
tam, failed to get hit in the series,
but Roger. nevertheless, met the ball
savagely on several occasions. I'm
fortunately, there was always some
Senator right in the way. In yester-
days game Peek was robbed of a
certain triple and possible home run
by marvellous running catch by How
ard Shanks
1t is most essential that the Yam
KEGS continue to pound the ball un
at the Hub. but it is even more es-
sential that their pitchers tame the
Red Sox batters. Ray Caldwell will
probably pitch one of the games in
Boston. He Jared badly in his first
start of the season here, but that
means nothing as baseball goes. Ray
may realize by now that the pennant
race, is actually und-<> way, and be at
his best when he faces the beaneaters.

CHICAGO, April 1s.-The managers
OF the eight clubs in the American AS

President Hickey said he wanted
the managers and umpires to reach
thorough understanding of the rules so
as to avoid protests over the prohibited
deliveries. Pitchers found guilty of
using the 'spitball" will be fined S25

College runners are to furnish the
opposition for the club athletes in the
junior national medley relay race over
enc and seven-eighths miles. which will
be included in the programme of the
spring games of the 18th Regiment
Athletic Association in its Brooklyn
armory next Friday evening. Six
teams are already entered. but when
starting time comes it is likely that
the field will be augmented by two
other organizations.
Columbia University has scheduled
two teams to start, and as the Blue
and White athletes ran prominently in
club competitions during the last in
door season they should be strong con-
tenders for the title. The weak point
in the collegiate entry appears in the
mile race, which is the last leg of the
contest, but If they manage to keep
pace with their club rivals they should
be up fighting for the title at the
finish.
While the entry of Yale University
has not as yet been received. it has
