one could tell what would have hap
pened after that.
The infield, with Judge on first,
Harris second. Shannon short and
Ellerbe third. covered lots of ground,
and made but one foozle--a wild
throw by Harris in the second. Eller-
be looks like the weak sister in the
inner works, but he is improving ev-
cry day, and soon will hit his stride.
At present he plays in too close. /
Shannon Looks Good.
Shannon, who was traded to Bos-
ton by the AS last year and from
there went to Washington, has al.
most worked Jim O'Neil out Of a Job.
The sorrel topped infielder is hitting
well, and has driven in more runs
than any other man on the club.
Griff is perfectly satisfied with his
work.
The AS got two tallies in the Sec
ond on Dugan's triple and Harris
wild throw, another in the fifth and
the last one in the eighth. Fred
Thomas got a hit, which raised his
record to eight consecutive games.
Tilly Walker also connected safely
once.
Two games VIII be played today.
This Is the first doubleheader here
this year.
Seen mt the Game.
MAYORS control was too good in
the first. He couldn't keep the hall
away from the Senator's bats and al
lowed five hits and four runs. After
that Connie Mack excused him for
the remainder of the afternoon.
Tilly Walker robbed Harris OF n
homer in ehe third, when he leaped
in the air and speared the ball with
his gloved hand before II sailed into
the bleachers.
Erickson was handed a call down
by Umpire Chill for wetting the ball
before pitching. AS usual the umpire
won the argument.
Grir's outheld, Rice, Milan and
Roth. is the fastest seen here this
year.
Milan's speedy footwork cut or a
pair of alien runs in the NTH. Two
mon were on base and Welsh hit n
liner near the foul line, which zeb
caught after a hard run.
Judges eighth straight hit was n
slow boundcr to short. which he beat
easily. His hitting streak ended In
the eighth inning, when he fouled to
Thomas.

Herb Thormalen and Jack Quinn for
five consecutive wallops and clean
slate for the afternoon. He repeated
this fine work Wednesday when he

American League baseball writers
unite In calling the Washington out
neld the best in the circuit. New
York writer's say that Milan. Rice and
Roth are the nearest approach to the
old Boston trio. Hooper, Speaker and
Lewis, seen since the Boston gang
was scattered. But-and this Is
serious but" too-Milan is almost at
the end of his string. while Bobby
Roth has not so many more seasons n
those marvellous fast legs of his.
Youngsters must be obtained and de-
veloped. and Dick Wade seems GER
tain OF trial here.
Wade, was obtained this spring
after Nixon refused to report to Joe
Cantillon He was with the Kitchener
club, in the Michig ram Ontario League,
last year. He played sixty-two games
at second base. thirteen at short. and
thirty-six in right field. The official
records of the league, however, fail TO
carry his batting average. 1t Is said
around the American Association that
he broke no records as a batsman In

never be released, but would be taken

has come.
Naming Ty Cobb to manage the
Tigers may make or break the team.
1t may also make or break the
Georgian. Much might be written
about Cobb and his peculiar person

1910, but his figures are not given.
Clark Griffith today has great
outfieId, but Milan and Roth are fast
approaching the closing days OF Their
big league careers. They will soon
have to be supplanted. Hank Shanks
is another veteran, Is not a heavy
hitter, and is slow on his feet. Jack
Calvo Is an unknown quantity.
It's a good bet that Dick Wade, II
he can continue his present fine worh
with the Minneapolis club. will be one
of those lads given a trial by the
Griffmen at the conclusion of the 1920

The Washington times., 1920-05-29

Yesterday there was no doubt about
the conflict after the initial frame
which is a way of referring to the
opening paragraph. Rollie Naylor
was in the box and ne looked like
million dollars to the Washington
players who, by the way. happened
to be at Shibe Park at the time.
Rollie had the incest way OF plac-
Ing his pitches against the alien bats
and while he was on the job the other
members of the club imagined they
were lost in a blizzard of baseballs.
The outfielders ran hither and thither,
to say nothing of back and forth,
loudly calling for help and begging
Rollie to have heart.
Connie Didn't Wonder.
Five bingles bounced to various
parts Of the playground, and four tai
lies oozed over the platter without
opposition. Connie looked worried
as he watched the carnage, but after
IL was all over he breathed sigh OF
relief. From then on he did not
have to wonder who would win the
game.
The eight innings were vacation
to him and a pleasant time was had.
However, he allowed Naylor to get
acquainted with every person In the
Washington lineup, because the entire
nine men faced him before the side
was put out and another pitcher was
warmed up. After tipping his hat to
all OF the boys and receiving con-
eratulations for fattening their bat
ting averages, Rollie donned his new
two-buttoned suit and watched the
game with the other spectators in the
upper pavilion.
Made Good Impression.
The Griffs stepped out lively and
made a great impression in the nrst
game. Griff's men are whaling the
dayIights out Of the ball and are
playing a high-class game. Yesterday
they were good enough, to trim any
cIub. for the attack and defense were
all that could be desired. Erickson,
the tall Swede, pitched well and man.
aged to avoid serious trouble in the
nine innings.
Joe .kudge, the fashy first baseman,
was the slugging hero of the after
noon. This young man has been
pickling the pill with much zest and
fervor of late. Against Cleveland on
Thursday he,'got Ave hits In row,
and Yesterday singled his first time
nm. drew n base on balls the second
and hit safely on his third and fourth
trim. Therefore he Is credited with
eight hits in eight times at bat, which
is pretty good work in any league.
Washington has improved consider
Ably since its last visit here. The IN
oeld PLAYS togethers in better style
and the outfield looks like the speed
lest in the league.
Outfield Is Speedy.
Milan. Rice. and Roth can get 'em
from any spot in the garden and
several swell catches were made. For
instance, in the fifth inning. with
runners on frst and third and two
out. welsh hit line drive to left,
a couple OF feet inside the foui line.
Ordinarily. this would have been good
for two or three bases, but Milan.
