CENTRAL WINNER
OVER B. c. C., 81
Sloppy Fielding and Plenty of
Hitting Seen in Slow
Game.

Central High managed to win out
over Baltimore City College on the
diamond yesterday at the stadium
by the score of 9 to Z after some
slow and uninteresting baseball.
The sloppy fielding was evident
in the first frame and continued al
most continually throughout the
contest. Central committed the
most errors and also hit the hard
est.
Southpaw Jermane began the
mound work for the Blue and White
but was a little unsteady. The
Monumental City boys bumped him
for a run in the first and collected
four more in the fifth round aided
by his wildness. At that he had al
lowed but four safeties as he had
his hook hopping all around the
batter.
Hoffman. the visiting hurler, was
not much to hit from the Central
ties standpoint for they hit him in
every round except the last two and
incidentally slammed out eleven
most Of which came in the
pinches.
A better third baseman has not
been seen here this season wearing
a high school uniform. than Miller
of the visitors. He scooped up seven
chances without. a bobble in a classy
fashion and showed ability with the
willow. smacking out three clean
bingles. KStzenberger made a SEN
sational catch over his shoulder
while running at top speed after
Rauber's wallop in the fifth.

When the Fighting Griffmen, the
gamest finishePs in the circuit. came
from behind again yesterday and
trimmed the proud and naughty
New Workers for the fourth consec-
utive time, they were enabled to
breathe the rarified atmosphere of
the heights by reason of Detroits
victory in the tenth inning over
Cleveland. With six straight wins
under their belts, il was beginning
to look as If Speakers men were
never going to lose another game.
But ii was only a question of time
and the Griffs stuck it out to the
finish.
The sudden squirt of the Grif-
men, after their loss to the Giants
in the preseason series, has put
the fans on edge. A week ago it
would have been useless to try to
convince Washington customers
that McBride's men could take four
straight from the Yankees. As a
matter of fact. it didn't look at all
reasonable.

have injected a do-or-die spirit into

Yanks Failed Again.

Yanks Failed Again.
The same story holds true, the
Yankees failed to hold the pace
when the big crisis came. For
three games in a row, amid the en-
couraging cheers of thousands of
fans, these alleged slugging Yanks
have sped away to what seemed a
safe lead, only to see their rivals
battle through to victory, Some
thing is wrong with the Yankees,
and the Iowliest fan in the extreme
corner of the sunlit bleachers
knows it.
The game today prodded along
DULY and monotonously after the
first inning, when the Yanks came
through with two runs and the
Griffs with one. The Yankee talIies
were the outcome of a single by
Peckinpaugh, two passes and a sac
rifice fly clouted by the dangerous
Meusel. The Griffs' run was evolved
from a single by Judge. a base OIL
balls to Milan and infieId outs on
the part of Rice and Lewis.
In the third spasm the Huggers
added one more to their tally, and
Bob Shawkey, who was pitching
his first game of the season, de-
spite a sore arm, was nightly en-
couraged and things continued to
go on swimmingly for Bob until the
eighth when the tide changed.

FORT MYER SCORES
VICTORY AT POLO
Takes Measure of War Depart

3 to 2.

The Fort Myer third team was
finally returned 3-2 winner over the
War Department Yellows in the
second game of the Army spring
polo series at Potomac Park yester-
day. The two teams were dead
locked at the end of the regulation
periods. and the struggle was car
ried through two additional stanzas
before Fort Myer gained the de-
cision.
The work of Maj. Bull, playing
No. 2 for the Yellows. stood out all
through the game, but it was an
unfortunate foul committed by him
late in the eighth period which
paved the way for the deciding goal.
There was no scoring in the in
itial period. In the second frame,
Maj. Bull counted for the War De-
partment and Capt. Sharp for Fort
Myer. The score remained a tie un-
til the fourth period, when Fort
Myer took the lead on a pretty shot
by Capt. Davis, which barely rolled
over the goal line.
Fort Myer looked like sure win
ners until the closing minutes OF
play in the sixth period. when the
Yellws spurted, and with a display
of excellent teamwork and superb
horsemanship knotted the count or
Maj. Bulls second goal of the day
Play speeded up in the extra pc
RODS, with both teams having easy
chances to register the deciding
goal. but falling down when a scor-
ing shot was needed. After the Yel-
lows had missed two chances to
score, the tide turned and the ball
was quickly carried into War De-
partment territory. When Bull
committed his foul, Sharp seized the
opportunity and scored the deciding
goal on a free try:

/ they have allowed New York to get
away in front and have then taken
their number. The whole team is
playing baseball, not for personal
glory. but for the honor of winning.
In that respect is their chief diff
ference from the Yanks.
/ One of the big features of the
Griffs' playing is the way the pitch
ing staff is upsetting the dope.
Already Johnson. Erickson and
Zachary have proved that they are
right. Mogrjdge and Acosta have
also performed in a notable manner.
And Mcbride appearH to have the
happy faculty OF knowing how TO
handle his slabbers. He does not
hesitate to switch them in an emer-
gency and has generally shown wise
judgment in making his substitu-
tions.

ample OF Macs level head. When
Jim Shaw found the road rocky, he

regard to pitching.
Team Returns sunday.
Today either Erickson or Zachary
will work in the final game and IL
the chosen one Is right it is not
beyond the bounds of reason that
the team may make a clean sweep
at the Polo Grounds.
Tomorrow the Griffs will hop to
Philadelphia for a couple OF battles
and return home to meet the Ath-
letics on Sunday. Unless something
happens they ought to come back to
Georgia Avenue in first place. So
rare is the opportunity to find the
Griffs in the lead that another mon
ster crowd can be expected on that
occasion. Mr.. Griffith's extra seats
will probably be inadequate to care
for the customers.
In view of which fact Mr. Griffith
last night advised all those who
want reserved seat boxes to get
them at Spaldings right away. Re-
serving them by phone and calling
for them at the gates creates a LOT
of confusion. There will be con-
fusion enough without anything
extra.
