Timely swatting by Judge and
Milan helped the Nationals to their
victory. while o'NeilI. Milan and
Roth also put in timely blows.
The Reds were the first to cross
the plate in the first inning. Rath
walked and was Immediately 'ad-
vanced to second by a sacrifice. Af-
ter Roush had hit a little fly to
o'Neill. Duncan hammered out
single, scoring Rath. That was all
Washington tried to get from Gin
cinnati, hit one into> the right
bieachers. which. according to the
ground rules, was a double. He
scored a moment later when Rath
duplicated the hit.
In the ninth with the score five
to two. the Reds put a scare into
the Washington players by ham
mering out two runs. Kopf hit into
the crowd for two. bases. After
Neale had flied out to Rice, Rapp
hit little tap down to first which
Judge booted.
Then Rariden doubled to deep
right. showing Kopf and Rapp
across, but the best Allen did was
TO fly out to Rice.
The Nationals could do nothing
In the first inning of Dutch Reu-
ther, but in the second play they
rushed over three runs so fast that
it took the fight out of the worlds
champions for a while. Ellerbe was
an easy out, Rath to Daubert. Then
the Reds twirler mistook Harris
for the plate and rammed a soaker
into his ribs. o'Neill proceeded to
put his partner in a position to
score. but Harris fell while turning
second.
o'Neill singled to right. Picinich
worked the pitcher for a walk, fill
ing the bases. To the surprise of all
Schacht smashed a hard drive to
the right of Kopf. which the latter
knocked down, but in his attempt TO
get O'Neill at third the throw went
high and Jimmy scored. while Pic
mich went to third and Schacht to
second.
Judge scored Picinich and placed
Schacht on third. Milan tapped to
Daubert who threw home in time to
get Schacht. ending the inning.
In the third the locals added an
other run when Roth doubled to

later when Harris sent long fly to
Duncan.
The last, and what proved the de-
Gliding run of the game. came in the
ninth when Judge doubled and
scored from second on Milan's
double.

that the boys needed. Battling
against such artists as Tuerro
and Acosto was as good as
the players will run against for a
month. or until the opposing pitch
ers around the circuit whip into
shape.
The fans at home will not recog-
nize "Zeb" Milan when they see him
next week. The fieet-footed out
fielder weighs about twenty pounds
more than he did at any time dur
ing last season. Bue he Is hitting
that old ball a great deal harder.
Speed Is Argued.
1t is going to be some race to de-
eide which is the fastest man going
to the first sack. Charley See, the
outfielder of the Reds that Grin
claimed in the draft but lost. or
Sam Rice. Both OF these men are
speed merchants at the running
game.
Griffith has decided to retain FL
lerbe and Shannon as utility in
fielders and will work them in case
there is a slump by any of the
regulars. Shannon can handle him
self as we'll as any at the second
station or short field. He would fit
in we'll should Harris or O'Neill
lose their stride. With Ellerbe. he
is one youngster who is at home at
either position.

invited by the club are eligible to

set SO high that Conrad B. Doyle.

only local man who has been asked
to compete.
Among those to whom have been
extended invitations are: w. T. TIL

the event as a round robbin, but IL

The Chevy Chase Club feels that
II Is doing a great deal for local
tennis In staging an event of this
kind, despite the fact that there is
bound to be considerable disap-
pointment. because of the fact that
there Is only one local entrant. 1t
not only will give all enthusiasts
an opportunity of seeing the best
in the game in action, but will no
doubt create much interest and en-
thusiasm in the game itself.
Reading over the list Of those
asked, one Is reminded of a national
! tourney instead of a preliminary
one carrying no title. and those To-
cal followers Of the game who fail
to take advantage OF this oppor-
tunity will no doubt regret 1t the

Youngsters Haze
Little Chance
With Reds fbe
By TOM SwOPE,
Sporting Editor Cincinnati Post.

Deland. Fla. March 25.-The same
lineup which defeated the Chicago
White Sox in the eighth and decid-
ing game of the 1919 world series
will be sent against the Cubs in
Cincinnati's opening game of this
year. April IA, unless accidents ne
cessitate a change.
There may be a different battery
for the Reds in this years opener,
but that's the only place Pat Moran
is likely to change his batting or
der from that of 1919.
Moran considers the team that
won the world championship good
enough to use in the fight for an
other pennant. and he has kept his
ball club intact.
Eight new youngsters are South
with the champions and several of
them are likely to stick through the
season.
But they have only slight
chance of winning a regular job
away from any of the members of
last years team.

Church Opposition.
Senator Nuttle led the opposition
following the receipt of kilograms
from ministers at the Methodist
: Episcopal Conference in Whining
ton urging Senators to oppose any
racetrack legislation. Those advo-
eating the passage OF this measure
pointed out that the Burke bill
which followed and which regulated
racing would supersede the law gov
.erning the Bowie track, this being
intended only to temporarily place
this track on the same footing with
the others which were permitted to
race in the spring. 1t was also SET
out that Prince Georges County
which alone was directly affected
wanted the bill to pass so the coun-
-ty might derive the revenue of which
IL would be otherwise deprived.
Road improvements.
Senator Metzerott read a telegram
from the Prince George County
Commissioners, three of whom are
Republicans and two Democrats,
asking him to support the bill, as
the money was sorely needed for
road building, provision having al
ready been made for the expendi-
ture.
He said that at the last election
the racing question had been made
an issue in his county and tnat all
OF the delegates now in the house
had been elected because they "a
vored racing. AS they represented
the sentiment of the people of the
county he would support the bill.
Mcintosh Favors Bill.
Senator Mcintosh said he had no
interest whatever in this measure.
but he did want the Burke State
wide commission bill, which places
all tracks under proper regulation.
passed, and he had reliable inform
alton that unless this measure was
passed the other was in danger.
Hence he urged favorable action
especially since the regulation bill
which followed would not yield TO
the State a revenue, but would
place all tracks under proper super
vision.
Opposed to Bill.
Notwithstanding this, Senator Nut
tie insisted on amendments intended
to cripple the bill. all of which were
voted down. His insistence on a
roll call on each angered Senator
Legg, who resented the 1nSlnuatlons
that those who did not agree with
those fighting the bill were subject
to race track influence. This. he
said, was a local measure, and. a.
Prince Georges wanted it, he had nc
hesitancy in favoring it
After a while the Caroline County
senator desisted and the vote taken
