The Indians, contrary to training
camp representations, have not
flashed much thus far, but the

must show itself before long.
George SisIer brings his st.
Louis Browns to town for four
games beginning ON May 10.
Special interest attaches to this

Johnny Evers, once known as

series at the Griffith Stadium.
The New York champions make
their second visit to Washington
on May q. playing three games,
and their games will close the
first long home stay of Bucly
Harris and his gang.
Decoration Day, May 80, will
find them In Boston and on the
verge of leaping into the West for
their first jaunt of the season
through the great open spaces.
Bucky Harris and his gang took
a fine whaling from the Red Sox
in the third game of the series
with the Red Sox. The exhausted
official scorer decided at the end
that the count was Is to 8, the
Griffs being on the short end. It

the scorer as we'll as for the Griffs.
For the first time this season
the Washington pitchers showed
poorly. One and all, barring
none, resenlbled bushers. They
were wild and lacked effective
ness whenever they managed to
find the plate. Furthermore,
their support was nothing to yell
about.
It looked like a ball game for
one inning, though the Red Sox
| did make three runs on passes to
Flagstead and Veach, followed by
Joe Harris double and Boone's
Texas league single.
The Griffs hoped aboard Bill
| Piercy In their half and tied the
count when Bucky Harris walked.

Martina blew up and out OF there
in the second and Wingfieid was
not deceptive, so that the visitors
! grabbed two more runs, went into
the lead and were never again
caught.
Goslin and Rice muddied up short
flies whenever given an opportun
ity. Hargrave forgot that, after
catching foul fly, he must watch
the base runner. He didn't and
so Joe Harris raced from first to
second in the eighth. The GriffS
simply got a whole lot Of bad
baseball out of their systems.
