There is considerable speculation as
to probable entries for the event,

tries from. out of town for the dou-

ports have it that Baltimore and
Philadelphia will send down strong
contingents.

BENNY VALGER IS EAGER
FOR BOUT WITH KlLBANE

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Benny VAL
gar. a clever American boxer Of
French descent. begins to loom as
formidable contender for the feath-
erweight title held by Johnny Kill
bane. Valgars Improvement since
he placed himself under the manage
ment of Joe Jacobs has been so mark
ed as to presage a title bout for the
youngster, provided KiIbane can be
induced to make match.
1t is questionable if the Clevelander
will consent to meet Valger or any
other boxer of class, for the feather
weight champion has lost much of the
skill that enabled him to win the
title from Attell on a close decision on
points in a twenty-round bout.

worth while until the pitchers wise up
to his weaknesses, by which time
Clyde Milan may be able to get back
on the job.
The fellow on whom Griff has at
tached a string is Samuel Cass, who
now is performing with the same team
from which Murphy was purchased.
Griff has made a bid for this fellow,
and il probably will be accepted.
Cass is on a par with Murphy as a
fielder and is a better hitter, being
in the 800 circle of the company in
which he has been performing.
Disastrous for Walter.
The visit in Chicago was not only
disastrous for Griffith, but for Walter
Johnson as we'll Walter was shunted
into Sundays battle in the eighth,
and the Sox nicked him for three runs
and the game. Yesterday he was
called forth in the sixth to relieve
the dis-resses OF Harry Harper, the
Hackeusack junk dealer, and Walter
was again nicked for the winning
run.
Besides this, Walter played the out
field in Mondays game, his labors
proving conclusively that the best

on the hummer if given more work

Worse than all, the immediate flu
ture is far from bright. Zeb Milan Is
recovering from an operation for ap-
pendicitis and can hardly be expected
to resume playing for several weeks.
No shortstop has been obtained. Hal
Janvrin is still far from himself. A
pitcher, Johnson, and a catcher, Char

A younEster from a bush league, Bob
Murphy, will get into the lineup
during the home stay, but he has yet
to make good.
Here's Some Consolation.
Here's some consolation, though.
The worlds champion Boston Red
Sox have done just as poorly in the
West as have the Griff.nen. They
have been trounced regularly until
grumbling fairly sizzles in Boston.
So far as can be learned, nobody Is
grumbIing here in Washington. In
deed, it's beginning to seem like the
olden days to have the ball club a
trailer.
The Griffs played seven games in
the East before hiking to the from
tier. They took two out OF three
from the Mackmeh and had every
body interested. They then went to
Boston and were whitewashed twice.
Going to New York, they played two
tie games. the first without score In
twelve innings and the second fifteen
innings, 4 to 4.
Going West, the Griffs tumbled
badly, losing nine out Of eleven. For
a moment, in Detroit, they perked up
and experienced the sweetness or VIC
tory, but the Browns, followed by the
White Sox, quickly took all the JOY
out of their lives. Yesterdays deteat

The pitchers have fallen down. this
without exception. Sam Rice and Val
Picinich have been doing well with
the stick, but their mates have been
giving them little or no assistance.
The fielding has been wretched In
the pinches, Foster and Shanks throw
ing away games when they were
practically won.
The base running has been Of the

taking every advantage.

continue to do so, that Du Mont, once
with the Griffs, is an exponent of the

leads from an ancient Augustine ABB

Supreme Court Sits

According to word coming here
from Pittsburgh. whore the Supreme
Court is in session, the highest court
Is declining to decide appeals III cleo
ton law cases right off the reel.
Yesterday the justices refused the
request of William Wilhelm, attorney
for the Equal Assessment party, to
take up the appeal from Schuylkill
county at once on the points on
which eight candidates of the party
have been ruled off the ballot. The
higher court decided, on account of
the importance of the case as a pre-
cedent in the future, that it will hear
argument on the question at Phila-
delphia, next February. The point
involved covers the right of newly
organized parties to file substitute
nominations by action of executive
committees
