Friday and may have il luke

The fine Easter gathering saw a
bitter struggle yesterday-for one
inning. The AS crashed Mr.. Brax-
ton for three hits and two runs in
the opening round and the Griffs
came in, dumped three surprise
hunts in Mr.. Gray's front yard and
got those two runs back before
Judge rolled to Jack Boley. Then
and there the Griffs began missing
fire and the third inning saw the
end, though nobody knew it.
Braxton was no puzzle whatever.
The AS grabbed three runs in the
third on double, single and Sim
mons home run. In the fourth four
hits brought in three more, Lamar
scoring on a double theft with Cobb,
greatly to the amazed glee of the
fans.
In his three and a third innings
Braxton was hit safely IL times, in
GLIDING one homer, one triple and
three two.baggers. It was rough
day for the forkhander.
Admiral Decatur Jones stag.
gered along until he filled the
bases in the fifth with q couple
of passes, when Bill Lamar
Obligfngly emptied them with a
two-bagger up against the score
board. That brought MarberTy
to the hill.
Marberry did not allow a hit in
his two and a third innings and
might have gone right on, but that a
pinch hitter relieved him in the
seventh. That let Bump Hadley
finish the pastine, four hits giving
the AS two quite useless runs.
Sam Gray, with an excellent as
sortment of stuff and a change Of
pace that got on Goslin's nerves.
weathered that first frame and
then went on in fine style. Be-
tween the first and eighth frames
three scattered hits came off his
delivery and he had a lead of nine
runs when Goslin's triple, followed
by Myers single, gave the Griffs
their third tally in the eighth.
ny Cobb grabbed himself a three
Dagger and three singles, all to
right field. Bill Lamar had two
doubles and a single and Cy Per-
kins contributed a pair Of doubles.
All in all the AS collected IS hits
and some of them fairly smoked.

In the National League. the
Pittsburgh Pirates are front.
running the situation with four
victories In five starts. They
also strong.arned their way TO
the front. their record showing
an average of almost six runs
and more than ten hits per
game. The Giants. in four
games, can show an average of
more than eight runs and ten
hits a game and, I'm c0nse-
Quence, are only half q game
back Of the Pirates.
The Boston Braves and the Phil.
lies likewise are off to a higher
rating than the intelligentsia de.
creed and again the punch is the
answer. The Phiis, In breaking
even, have averaged five runs and
IL hits and the Braves slightly less
in both departments, In winning
four and losing two.
In fact, there Is only one salient
exception to the rule, the Philadel.
phia Athletics, and even they finally
have started after the leaders, after
getting three defeats and a tie in
their first four games with the Yam.
KEGS. Pitching has been the Ath.
letics, trouble to date; they have
the men but the men haven't had the
stuff. Sam Gray, in winning over the
Griffmen yesterday, being the first
Of Mack's pitchers to start and
finish the same game. OF course,
the club will move with less friction
these seem to be inevitable. But, at
that, an outfit that uses IL pitchers
in six games can't expect to go any
where with burden like that.
The Athletics attack, showing an
average OF Is hits a game, is even
bit beyond that of the Yanks and
Pirates, but pitching and the defense
in general has thrown the balance OF
power the other way.
The Yanks haven't made an
error In their last three games
and their starting pitcher has
finished In four Of the six games
played. The Pirates also have
supplemented sound hitting with
fine pitching, particularly from
Kremer, and they have made
only four errors In five games.
The Griffmen fattened on the de
plorable Red Sox at the outset, thus
concealing the principal Washing.
ton weakness at this time bad
pitching. Barring Hollis Thurston's
efforts. the Washington staff has
been very sad. This is another in
stance of Indifferent pitching ruin
ing a lot Of. good hitting, for the
Senators have averaged almost six
runs a game. On less, the White
Sox have managed to line up right
behind the Senators in the standing
with three victories In six games.
1t remains, in fact, for the three
surprises Of the race to date-the
Cards, Reds and Indians-to make
the hitting argument stand up.
The three Of them are not. The
Indians, getting only two runs q
game, are well In the second divi.
sion. Ditto the Reds, who have
gained one decision in five games,
on an average Of two runs and
seven hits game. The Cards have
been hitting fairly well and their
pitching, for the most part. has
been extraordinary for this sea.
son Of the year. But they are not
scoring and the league, 30 far as
know, Ii still counting runs.
The Cubs, of to q running start,
also are drifting rearward. The an
swer Is lack Of punch again, the
club having scored only nine times
in the last four games.
