STANDING OF SERIES.
Notes of the Game

Jim Shaw lost a long double in
the second when his rap went foul
by a few feet. 1t would have
scored O'Neill and Charity.
Roush made a double in the Sec
ond when the wind carried his rap
away from Rice.
Charity put a stop to any pos
sible base stealing when he nipped
Rath off first in the first inning
after the second baseman had
singled.
Roth made a great running one
handed catch off Rath's bid for a
triple in the third.
Judge pulled a brilliant play on
Rath in the fourth when he knocked
down Kopfs tap and his toss to
Shaw, who covered first.
The locals failed to pull off a
double steal when with Roth on
third and Harris on first, wingo's
sharp throw to Kopf and his
lightning return caught Bobby at
the plate.
Neale made the star play of the
game in the fourth when he robbed
Judge of a sure triple. The right
fielder caught the ball after a hard
run, just reaching 1t as it was sail
ing over his head. Charity was
on second at the time.
Groh's play on Milan's clever bunt
in the fifth proves that he is one
of the best third basemen in the
game.
O'Neil1s triple in the sixth was
the longest hit of the game and
on a dry field IL would have been
an easy home run.
Clyde Milan again proved that he
has lost none of his cleverness
when he chased over the foul line
and caught Neale's long foul fly in
the eighth.
Harris by fast sprinting beat out
a slow roller to Kopf in the third.
1t is seldom that any fan ever
saw a play like the one during
practice. Judge was throwing a
ball home and Shannon was in the
same act. The two balls collidcd
in the air and the one Joe threw
went into the grandstand
But thirteen men faced Shacht in
the four innings he worked.
The locals did not make an er-
ror during the game and not one
of the balls hit could get away
from that stone wall infield. These
lads will make many a fan forget
the players who have attempted to
cover those positions.
The playing of O'Neill carries out
what The Herald has said, repeated
ly that he will make the Nationals
a first division club. He and Har-
ris are the best pair of kids that
have broken into the game at the
same time since the days of Ferris
and Parent way back in 1901 with
Boston of the American League.

Old Eli Tennis
Players to Meet
Dunbarton I cam

The local tennis season will be
auspiciously opened this afternoon
when Yale University will play the
Dumbarton Club on the latter's
courts at Wisconsin avenue and r
street. Georgetown Play will start
promptly at o'clock.
Chuck" Garland Is captain of the
Yale team and he is we'll known

Club against Connie" Doyle in
1918. Garland was semi-finalist in
the Wimbledon tourney in England
last season and has been up among
the best tennis experts in the
United States.
The Yale team has been on a
tour of the South and are right
now in much better condition than
any one of their opponents. as the
Dumbarton players have been in
training for only a few days with
the possible exception Of Capt. Al
Gore, who has just returned from
Palm Beach, Fla. The Yale team
are the guests of Capt Gore.
1t is expected that Gore will tackle
Garland, playing No. singles;
Graves will play No. 2, against
Hawkes.; Major Foote will play No.
3, with Amos Wilder; Maj. Waite
Johnson will play No. 4, with Web
her: Doug. Hillyer will play No. 5
with Banks, and Capt. Miller, a new
tennis expert in the District above

Eric Hadstrom.
In doubles. Gore and Johnson will
rlay against Garland and Hawkes.:
Foote and Miller against Wilder and
Hadstrom. and Hillyer and Graves
will play Banks and Weber. The
Dumbarton Club extends an invita-
tion to all local followers of tennis

AFTER KILBANE TO
MEET DANNY FRUSH

Sammy Harris, boxing promoter
and handler of many a good scrap
per of Baltimore, has another cham
pion under his wing, in Danny
Frush. the speedy little feather
weight.
Harris has been trying to get
Johnny Kilbane to meet his fighter.
1t seems as though Johnny will
not turn a listening ear to the
pleadings of the Baltimore pro-
moter. Now Harris stands ready
to give Kilbane $1,000 to meet
Frush.

ting when base blows meant runs.
keystone Sack Guarded.
Many a game has been thrown
TO the winds because of the playing
at short and second. The work of
O'Neill and Harris yesterday should
dispel from the minds of the fans
any fears as to their ability to
make. good. Yesterday was only a
sample of their ability to cover
their positions faultlessly.
Many fear that O'Eeill's arm is
not strong because he does not let
it out when he throws. But wait
until he is forced to make a hur-
ried play-then all thoughts of him
having a poor arm will disappear.
The players thrilled the crowd by
their fast playing. both in the in
ner and outer gardens. and their
hitting, when hits counted. Both
runs scored by the locals were
earned and the eight hits made of
Cuban Loque and Gerner. the south
paw. proved that the Nationals have
little fear of either right or left
handlers.
Griffs Score First.
The Griffites opened the game
with a run. After two were gone.
Sam Rice. the champion batter of
the team, cracked out a slashing
single over second and stole the
midway sack. Roth waited the
pitcher out, and then Shannon sent
screaming hit to left center, which
scored Sammy. Clever fielding on
the part OF Duncan cut down Roth
at third.
The visitors evened the count in
the second. when Rice misjudged
-Roush's hit. which netted the Ma
tional League champion batter a
double. He moved to third on Dun
cans neat sacrifice. Neale then
cracked out a line drive, sending
.Roush home with the only run made
; by the Rhineland crew.
- Nationals Take Lead.
The Nationals took the lead in the
next inning wHen Milan singled TO
'center and went to the keystone
station when Rice placed a pretty
bunt to Loque. The Cuban made a
great play, getting Sam at first.
Bob Roth then made good as a
pinch hitter. He sent the left fielder
across the plate with what proved
tc be the winning run.
Jimmy O'NeilPs triple in the sixth
( was wasted, for Charity could not
get the ball far enough away from
zNeale to make it safe.
Pitchers in shape.
The work of the local hurlers
proved that they are about ready
for the opening of the season. But
five hits were made Off of Shaw and
Shacht.
The Reds obtained one in the first.

The April Call ~
Gypsy-Heart, It's April time
April of the Orchard Lane,
.April srhere the roses climb
Through the sunshine and the rdtn;
Abrl of the far green noors
At the golden edge of spring,
.Aprfl of the oH-of-doors
Though the 1rind IS clustering.
There's the tctisbcy of q dream
Winding oHt through green and gold
Winding oat by hill and stream,
Through the starry nights enfoLd;
Through the pink and red and lphite
Blossoms by the road nnfsrled,
Where the lilies lean to light
In the morning of the svorld
Gybsy-Hcart, 1rhy should ste tcait
Till the AbrI dream IS gone?
Life is at the Morning GGtc

theory the decision split up a portion of the
world series receipts for second and third place
should have a beneficial effect.
1t should add keenness to the pennant race and
keep more clubs hustling up to the final day.
In practice, it has worked out among the
Yankees. it has merely made a number of ball players
more avaricious than they were before
They have been squawking all the spring be-
they figured the split $40 shy. due to the
inclusion of ground keepers and secretaries where
of the $500 they received, not cent was actually
earned
It merely a gift to which they were legally
but not morally entitled
They had done nothing to deserve ii. With
fine ball club they lucky to finish high
third. lucky because Mays happened to arrive in
the nick of time.
About one more squawk of this nature should
bring the club to abolish any gift to second
and third place clubs.
For apparently the more. money many players
get, the less they cont, ,nted.
The Case of the Yankees.
The Yanks certainly have loud coming
any treatment they have received
Yet they have continually been one of the big
disappointments baseball-not because the talent
wasn't there. but largely because 1t was either too
fragile too listless.
