Nationals Crush New Workers
With Heavy Artillery Attack

As in Saturdays setto, the Griffs
yesterday started of with a rush,
anna ssing five runs on half a dozen
hits and chasing John Scott to the
showers in the process. McNeely
opened the barrage with a wallop
into the upper left aeld stand for
circuit Of the bases, and four more
tallies accrued from doubles by Adams
and Bluege and one-base swats from
the bats of Rice, Goslin and Peck, the
slaughter not being ended until Jack
Bentley injected his left-handed form
into the proceedings.
The pass Ruether issued to Walker,
the only man to face him before he
was waved out of the pastime for
kicking, developed into a tally after
young Harry Kelley had disposed of
two Giants when Long George Kelly
was credited with a double on a
blow to deep center that McNeely got
under after hard sprint but couldn't
hold.
1t looked for time in the second
inning as il Bentley would be roughly
treated. Line singles were evolved
by Adams and Rice. with one gone,
Goslin then crashed a safety off the
pitchers glove, and when George
Kelly retrieved the ball and heaved
wildly past Terry Adams scored. and
his mates reached third and second.
Rice then was run down on Judges
roller to Jackson, and Kohler tossed
out Bluege.
Kelley Gets in Trouble.
Kid Kelley hurled scoreless ball un-
til the fourth, although he was hav-
ing trouble continuously with his
control levers. but in that frame his
unsteadiness got him in trouble to
the extent of a pair OF tallies. He
franked George Kelly. and, with
Terry disposed of. yielded a single to
Wilson. The latter was forced by
Jackson, but Gowdy also drew a pass,
filing the bases, and the tallies were
in when Bentley rammed a safety
past Adams to center.
McNeely was on the producing end
of a brace of Washington markers
in the fifth. Judge strolled at the
outset and Bluege singled him to
second. Peck bunted 3 third strike
foul. but Ruel walked to fill the
bases, and. after Kelly popped foul.
Earl hooked a double down the left
field line, good for two runs. Ruel
also tried to tally from first, but was
effaced by Kohler's relay to Gowdy
of Wilson's throw.
Kelley yielded only double to
Terry during the fifth and sixth
innings and then gave way to Cove
leskie. Stan. handily disposed Of the
first two Giants, but, after Kohler's
clean hit, a pass to Young and
Kelly's infield scratch had loaded

capable reserves and I think we will
demonstrate we are adequately fort-
fed in that respect We may win more
easily with him, but l think we also
can win without him
1t was a crushing and thoroughly
convincing defeat that the Griffs
meted out to the Giants yesterday in
A contest marked by much wrangling
between the Champs and Umpire
walker, resulting in the enforced
idleness of both Harris and Ruether.
Where the youthful Harry Kelly and
the veteran Stanislsus Coveieskis
held the Giants to eight bingles, more
than double that number bounced off
Washington bats, with three OF the
regular hurlers of the Giants-Scott.
Bentley and Ryan-getting the
toughest treatment.
Griffs' Prestige Increased.
Instead of having their prestige as
world champions impaired by defeat
at the hands of their rivals in the
1924 Fall classic, as was dolefuly
predicted in some quarters, the Ma
tionaIs enhanced their reputation as
ball club, even though they got no
better than an even break in the
dozen contests. The earliest OF the
games held in Florida, where the
Giants made their best showing, were
staged before either team was ready
to play base ball and when anything
might happen. In the last week. on
the eve of the opening of the races,
when both clubs had attained form
more truly indicative of their real
strength, the Griffmen won 5 of the
last s games played.

The order of finish presented
herewith is in no sense a prediction.
1t is merely a guess. One is as good
as another, and If the foregoing
doesn't meet your fancy, juegle 'em
around to suit yourself. The busi-
ness has the advantage of being in
teresting as well as inexpensive, and
no one will remember in October
what your forecast was. nor care.
If there is one club in regard to
which there is any reasonable as
surance, 1t Is the Giants. They so
far outclass their company that moth
ing short of a train wreck can keep
McGraw from the distinction unat-
tanned to date of winning five times
In a row. It's true the law Of
averages win be at work against such
a feat, but that applied also last sea-
son when he set his record for mod
ern" base ball, with four straight, so
the psychological angle can be disre-
garded.
The field in the American League
Is better balanced. 1t probably would
he considered lese majestic or some
thing like that, to pick some club to
finish ahead of the Nationals. We
decline to do II. not for that reason,
but simply because we cannot see
where any other team has a better
win last year and appear to have
been strengthened more than any of
their rivals.
Nationals Are Peppery.
The GrifTs have not been sur
feited with titles and are not the
type to let overconhdence lessen their
hustling, while the charge that they
are an outfit of veterans likely to
crumble is not nearly so true cf them
as it is of the Yankees. Huggins,
with Combs in center field, has a
stronger array than when Witt held
forth there, but 1T is doubtful If he
gained anything when he swapped
Joe Bush for Urban ShoCker, and
there is a grave question whether
Ruth will be able to carry on through
the season in his customary effective
manner when he does get back in the
lineup.

bear down on Terry to get out Of
the hole.
Coveys unsteadiness got him into
jam in the following frame, when.
after walking Wilson and getting
the ultimate count on Jackson, he
grooved ball that Travis lined into
the upper left field stand for a homer,
scoring Wilson ahead of him.
Despite two additional passes,
Covey got through the ninth un-
scathed which is considerably more
than can be said of Bill Ryan, the
fifth of McGraw's pitchers to appear.
Virgil Barnes was effective during
the sixth and seventh rounds and
Kent Greenfield breezed through the
eighth but Rosy Bill was heartily
spanked in the final frame when sue
cessive singles by Goslin, Judge
Bluege, Peck and Ruel netted three
runs to boost the Nationals total
to IL.

+ Unless he makes a last minute switch
in his plans and calls on Walter John
son. who is not yet quite fit, Harris
will send George Mogridge, lean south
paw, to the mound in the curtain raiser
Manager Huggins probably will assign
to Urban Shocker, spitball manipulation,
recently obtained from the Browns. the
task OF facing the world champions,
although Waite Hoyt also is considered
eligible.
Teams Little Changed.
Except for Earl Combs. a graduate
ousted Whitley Witt from his job in
centerfield for the Yanks. and Ben Pas
chaI, an Atlanta acquisition, who has
been filing in for the ailing Ruth, the
contending clubs probably will line-up
with the regular positions manned as
they were last season when the Ma
tionals beat Higgins men to the wire
by two full games after a sensational
race down the stretch.
Aside from the Bambino all the ef-
fectiyes Of both outfits are in good ply

months of conditioning work in the

HARRIS AND RUETHER
GIVEN GATE BY UMPS

NEW YORK, April 13.-Resent-
ment engendered by Umpire walkers
work during games through the
South and which fiared up Saturday
when he fired Judge and A1trock, was
famed by more resultant eventu-
alities yesterday.
The contest had hardly gotten under
way before Harris was banished from
the park by Umpire Walker. Bucky
protested that a pitch by Scott had
grazed McNeely's shirt, and used
such quaint language that the arbiter
gave him the thumb and then pulled
his watch on him. Bucky dutifully
retired to the clubhouse, leaving
Roger Peckinpaugh TO run the team.
Then, in the latter half of the round
more trouble ensued when Ruether
kicked over the rulings that gave
Frank Walker free transportation.

Indications are, however, that three

one of the finds of the year.
Indications are that the pitchin &

Miller or Clark, left-handers, and
Uhle, Specie, Karr, Levsen and Lehr
or Luther Roy, right-handers. All
are in good condition except Levsen,

but his absence from the game is

The Giants are also Handicapped by

of both teams modified.
Ruth still lies IN the hospital
where he is recovering from indiges-
ton and influenza, while Frisch's in

With Eddie Collins. for almost 20

American League, as manager, the
morale of the Sox has reached its

cast of boxmen, however, have had
the benefit Of another year of major

HA|T|ANS SEEKING
ELECTIONS CALL
Point to Political Strife if
u. S. Does Not Take
Hand in Matter.

Echoes of political strife in Haiti.
caused by the pending call for legisla-
tive elections which are scheduled for
January 10, are coming to Washing
ton. Yelled intimations of possible
trouble in the island republic have
been received by Secretary Kellogg
from a group OF directors OF Haitian
newspapers. virtually demanding that
the Government of the United States
see that the call for elections be is
sued October 10.
The elections, according to the con-
Stitution of Haiti are to be held Janu.
ary 10 of every even-numbered year,
under a call to be issued three months
prior to the election. President Luis
Borno has power under the constitu-
tion to withhold the call until October
10, 1927.
The communication to the Secre-
tary of State, bearing the names of
four members of the press opposing
President BOrno. ignores the latitude
given the President Of Haiti in decid-
ing on just what even-numbered year
the election shall be held. Future
Presidents are to be elected by the
newly created legislative body, and
the letter of protest assumes that
next year American officials here
and their Haitian agents plan to re-
peat the coup of 1922 and to have the
President elected by the council Of
state, a body of y officials, named and
revoked by the President of the re-
public as he may see tit"
The attention of Mr.. kellogg is
drawn to the systematic opposition
with which Haitian requests have al
ways been met by American officials
in Haiti and by their Haitian creatures
and proteges." and demands that Mr..
Kellogg declare himself at once on the
question of holding a legislative cleo
tion. The letter adds that under the
constitution declared to have been i'm
posed on the Haitian people by the
American Army, the Haitian executive
should call the electors together not
later than October 10.
Officials in Washington have no dis
position to interfere in the Haitian
political turmoil or bring influence to
bear on President BornO to issue the
election call next month. No uneasi-
ness is felt regarding the veiled init
nation that revolution might follow
failure to hold the legislative cleo
tions, officials pointing out that eco
nomic conditions in Haiti have i'm
proved steadily.
