GIANTS LOSE ONCE
MORE TO RED SOX

GAINESVILLE Fla, April s.-The
Giants close their training here today
with the fourth game of the series
with the worlds champion Boston
Red Sox, and the Polo Grounders are
determined to break into the winning
column. They have now lost all three
tussels with the American LeagUers,
yesterdays score being 4 to ?. The
Red Sox showed two tallies over in
the ninth, breaking up a tie lasting
from the fourth.
Wally Schang and Al Walters were
spiked during the contest, Fletcher
tearing a cash in Schang's forearm
and Earl Smith ripping a hole in
Walters right leg. Neither wound is
serious, however.
In the ninth Scott tripled for
starter. McNeill and Bush walked,
filling the bases. Hooper forced Scott
at the plate with a bounder to Chase
and McNalIy' popped to Fletcher.
Strunk spilled the beans with a sharp
single over second, scoring Mcneil
and Bush.

PITCHES IN FORM

AUGUSTA, Ga. April s.-walter

Griffith is assured OF a great pitch
ing staff. for with the Kansas Can
nOneer booming them through the
middle, the Old Fox can rest content
at night, knowing that at least one
in four may be a victory for his ball
club, Johnson proved his condition
in his first workout on the mound
here yesterday, working for the Yam
nigans during the first four innings
and holding the regulars hitless and
runless.
The great pitcher was in rare form.
HIS fast ball Zoomed across the plate
like streak OF lightning and hoped
with monotonous regularity to the
regular batters. He had them guess
ing and IT was with a sigh OF relief
that the old timers greeted Eddie
Hoviik, whom Griff sent into the box
to succeed Johnson. Eddie, himself
was in rare form, and in the five
frames he took part, held his oppon-
ents to three hits.
Walked All Over Then,
1t is needless to say the Yannigans
won. Not only did they win, but
they just literally walked all over
the Regulars, and in a single day
gained all the revenge to be desired
for the five losses to their credit
The final score, that is SO far as
can be counted, was 10 to 0, a COM
plete whitewash.
Harper and Thompson did the box
work for the Regulars. Both were
easy victims for the Yannigans.
Thompson especially.
But for the first two innings when
Thompson allowed the Yannigans to
put over eight tallies, the game would
though, was wild, and the

Get Two Off Harper.
In the seventh the kids landed on
Harper and when the dust cleared
away had annexed two more runs.
Flaherty completed the game for
the Regulars, twirling the last in
ming, and holding the Yanns score
less.
Sam Rice was slightly hurt, when
he smashed into the center field fence
after a run for a ball hot off the
bat of H. Milan, which looked like
three bases. Sam by a sensational
stab hooked the ball. however, and
despite his collision held to il. AL
though considerably shaken up by the
JOLT the overseas hero refused to
Iuit the game.
Little Ike Davis also comes in to
share the fielding praise, he having
made several seemingly impossible
stops.

The unanimous opinion Of those
alien writers who have seen the
players in action is that "Grins
pitchers will have to carry the bur-
den" The Washington writer's at
Augusta have been rather guarded
in their representations. Anyway,
a washington baseball writer be-
comes case-hardened with the years
Of watching pop flies and merry
bounders.
Red Sox Lock strOnE. 81
II Griffs pitchers are compelled TO
carry the burden" first division non-
orS can hardly be expected this
season. for. at least four clubs look
stronger than ever. They are Boston,
Chicago. New York, and Cleveland,
with Detroit and Philadelphia max
ing loud noises about winning ball
games.
The worlds champion Boston Red
SOx look stronger than they did last
year. which cannot be good news to
the Grids or their backefs. There is
every evidence that the Sox will be
the same old money club as Of yore,
JUst a little bit better than its near
est rival. The pitching staff will
probably give Ed Borrow his great
est trouble, for 1t is not the strong
est in the league by any means.
The Yankees. with a real outfeld
for the first time since Colonel Hus-
ton became identified with the club
Eve years ago. may be the surprise
club of the campaign. The pitchers
look good, and there should be plenty
OF hitting. Indeed, this last viii be
needed TO make amends for the gen.
eral truck horse type Of base run
ners in the outfit.
Don't Forget Cleveland.
No one can afford to forget the
Cleveland Indians. They may not get
away as well as they might, but by
:he time they get back a few men
from the army they'll be there in
several ways. Moon" Harris, at first
base, and Ed KIepfer, to join the
pitching stan. will make a big diff
ference in things.
The White Sox need only better
pitching TO put them in the running
for 1919, and they will have Red
Fsber back from Great Lakes, Claud
Williams back from the Paint and
Putty League" and Reb Russell once
more in condition to work in his
turn. Put Joe Jackson, Happy"
5'elsch, Eddie Collins, Buck Weaver
and Chick Gandil behind those added
and the White SoX are dan
gerous contenders.
Hughey Jennings faces the same
old MISUNDERSTANDING. He is bank
ing on Eric Erickson and Howard

On the mound, with Chick Shorten re-
riacing slower men in right field and
