NH other decision to the weather
tV man yesterday, but on de-
1 4 cision rather than by knock
out. Exactly one half of the
schedule was saved. enough to affect
the standing in both leagues. The
Athletics pulled into first place, half
a game ahead of the idle Yankees, by
defeating. the Tigers at Detroit, 10 to
8, in a game which left eight pitchers
draped upon the ropes, while the
Braves showed the Cubs into a dead
lock with st. Louis in the National
League by shading the McCarthymen

The Cardinals, moving into tie for
the lead in John Heydler's circuit with
out so much as unlimbering bat, thus
proflted from id1eness at a moment
when the Yankees found it costly
This is the first time in four years
that the Yanks have been anywhere
but first place at this particular stage
of the month of May.
The Athletics not only drew slightly
away from the Yankees yesterday, but
also registered neat gain over the
Browns, who persist in threatening
from the third rung OF the American
League ladder. The Griffmen stopped
the Browns in another knock-down-
and-drag-out affair, by score of, 8
to Z. aiding both the AS and the
Yankees.
The triumph of the Mackmen in
Detroit was nothing for Connie Mack
to gloat over, in view of what happen

The Messrs. Prudhomme, Van Glider,

In the remaining American League
game the Chicago White SoX evened
their series against Boston by winning,

The Braves and the Cubs had the
stage all to themselves in the senior
league, and celebrated by giving Bos-

James and AL Spohrer, who chose that
occasion to hit doubles, cost Perez
Malone his first defeat If the season

The real feature of the Boston en-

the debate in the eighth inning after
the Braves had tied the score at to 5

six hits and five runs through the first

Nobody can say with precision just
which team profited by the carrying

the Robins lost nothing by postponing

EDGE TO MURDERS
IN CLASSIC DERBY
Windy City Earns Following

Y OUISVILLE, KY, May 15.-Horses
that can perform in the muck
and like the sloppy going which
IL may prevail at Churchill Downs
Saturday are objects of the
closest attention of handicappers of
Kentucky Derby candidates.
The track may be heavy, as it has
been all this week so far, or 1t may
not. But the question most frequently
asked concerning any of the eligibles
for the f1fty-ffth running of the turf
classic is: Can he perform in the
mud?"
Anyway, Windy City, Fred M. Grab

Derby candidates in the fifth and fea-

of additional Withdrawals will result
before the running of the Derby Sat-
urday. Much depends upon the condi-
ton of the track.
Many who are figuring on the pos
sibility of heavy going, however, are
inclined to add to their confidence in
the Winter book favorite, Blue Lark
spur, the hope of Col. E. r. Bradley's
Idle Hour Farm Stable. In fact, Blue
Larkspur, accompanied by Bay Beauty

showed his preparedness yesterday

GR|FFMEN ANNEX 4
OF LAST : GAMES
HadIey Now Only 0ff-FoTm
RGrler-Test Looms With
Athletics and Yankees.
BY JOHN B. KELLER.

CT. LOUIS, May 15.-Through
with the West for some time
after the scheduled engagement
~ with the Browns this afternoon,
the Nationals run into a success
sion of contests that should just about
determine how far they may expect to
get in this years struggle for the
American League pennant.
Starting Friday in Washington the
Nationals will have none other than
the Athletics and Yankees to face for
fortnight. That's big order for any
ball club this year. To make it
tougher for the Nationals they are to
play II games in these ID days. nine
games with the Athletics and eight with
the Yankees. When the Washington
outfit is through with this string of
games 1t ought to know whether it has
a chance to get somewhere in the flag
chase or wait for another year to roll
around
AS the club has been going the past
week 1t may surprise even its most
ardent supporters in this string of en-
gagements with the world champions
and the leagues runner-up club Of last
year.
Starting last Wednesday. the Ma
tionals began to play "heads-up" base
ball. On that day they were licked by
iAlC 4A6Clo III 0GtlOIt, Uub UIlig ny u
run. Since they have been in i've
games and have lost only one, that to
che White Sox in Chicago on Sunday.
Displaying Spring Form.
The club nowadays is playing more
like the club that swung through the
Spring exhibition series in the South
SO brilliantly than the club that
flounered about so miserably in the
first part Of the championship cam
paign. The Nationals are coming to
life-perhaps they already have been
Northumberland may make the going
more than interesting for all rivals
from this time on.
They are getting better pitching, are
hitting better and above all are rum
ming the bases very much better than
they did when appearing before the
home folks in the first week of the
season
OF the hurting staff, but one member
remains to round into good pitching
form. He is Irving Hadley the chunky
boy from Lynn, Mass. who has been
troubled all Spring with an excess of
flesh. Hadley trained faithfully while
in Florida, but it seemed that all the
weight he removed during the day
would be regained at night But now
Hadley apparently is getting down to
good pitching trim, trim that will en-
able him to carry on beyond the fourth
inning-something he has been able to
do in but one of his starts this season.
And when Hadley swings into, cordi-
ton to help Sam Jones. Garland Brax-
ton, Ad Liska and Fred Marberry on
the slab this Washington club will take
q deal of beating.
So It seems the Nationals have Moth
Ing to fear in the impending stretch of
tits with the Yankees and the Athletics.
These rivals got the jump on Walter
Johnson's charges the outset of the
campaigning, but when they stack up
against the Nationals again they are
not likely to find the going SO easy.
This Washington club is just about
ready to play the kind of base ball it
was expected to play much sooner in
the American League race.

BROWNS .SLOUGHED
BY CAPITAL CREW
Liska Gets 81 Verdict Over
Browns, but Needs Aid of
Fred Marberry.

ST. LOUIS, May 15-Maybe the ST.
Louis jinx is gone. At any rate, the
Nationals yesterday triumphed over the
Browns in a first-ofsthe-season game
for the first time in many seasons. That
9-to-7 victory may mean this town no
longer may be regarded terror to the
washington club.
And IN beating the Browns the Ma
tionals took the measure of a pitcher
who had been going great guns since
the start of the campaign. It was none
other than Sam Gray, who was Socked
savagely by Washington batsmen. Sam
was in hot water all the way, despite
the six striketouts he achieved during
the fray, and took seven-run and
dozen-hit lacing in the eight innings ne
toiled. After Gray was through. Dick
two-run punishment in the ninth.
Only one hit was made off Coffman,
but 1t was a real wallop. Goose Goslin
swung against one of Dicks heaves and
drove the ball to the roof of the right
field bleacherS, from where it bounded
to the street beyond the park. AS it
turned out, this wallop accounted for
the Nationals win, for Joe Judge was
roosting on first base when the Goose
socked.
Ad Liska opened fire for the Nation
ais and was credited with the victory,
although he failed to go the route. AS
in Detroit in his previous start, Ad was
inclined to be wild He walked but four
batterS, but he had to pitch himself
out TO almost every man who stepped
to the plate.
1t was wildness that got him into
trouble in the seventh session, when the
Browns put over a trio of tallies. Then
he issued two passes and yielded two
hits. Mixed with this st. Louis attack
was an error by Joe Cronin that hurt
the Nationals cause to a great extent.
But these three runs left the Browns
still two to the bad, and the Nationals
stepped out in the eighth and ninth to
grab four more markers. 1t was well
they did, for with two out in the ninth
L1ska weakened to such an extent that
the Howleymen garnered four runs with
three hits, one of the hits being
homer driven into the right field stand
by Wally Schang. 1t was this homer
that brought Fred Marberry to Liska's
relief. All Fred did was pitch five
times to strike out the pinch-batting
Dick Terrell.
Bluege helped himself to four singles
in as many times at bat against Sam
Gray. But Bluege went up against
Coffman in the ninth and ended his
perfect day by grounding to the short
stop.
Gray gave Hayes a terrible time until
the eighth. He threw a third strike
by Jack in the second session. Then
Jack whitfield in the fourth and sixth.
But in the eighth Jack doubled to the
left field corner.
Myer was supposed to return to his
third base job yesterday. But shortly
before game time he complained that
his bruised elbow still was too sore to
permit him throwing properly. But
Milan said this morning that Myer
ought to be in the lineup today.

least few OF the greatest art
lists, in base ball? BY artist I
name the greatest artist, or at
ease, grace or those lyrical physical
qualities that make for beauty of exc
cution. Perhaps I haven't made my
point clear, but If I have, I would ap-
preciate discussion along this line"
This might be entered under the head
of personal opinion, for what is style
and grace and artistry to one pair of
eyes might not carry the same appeal
to another.
Here is a complete team that might
be registered under this heading:
Catcher-Johnny Killing, Cubs.
Pitcher-Walter johnson, Sena-
tors.
First baseball Chase, Yankees.
Second base-Napoleon Lajoie,
Cleveland.
Third base-Jimmy Collins, Bos-
ton Americans.
Shortstop-Herman Long, Boston
Nationals.
Left feld-Jimmy Sheckard,
Brooklyn, Chicago.
Center field-TriS Speaker Bos-
ton. Cleveland.
Right field-Frank Schultz, Cubs.
From this list. when it comes to a
matter of sheer artistry and what is re-
ferred to as lyrical physical qualities"
it is a dead heat between Hal Chase
and Nap Lajoie, with Jimmy Colline
not SO far away. But that would be
a ball club to look at if it never won a
game, and it would be plenty. If every
move wasn't a poem, it would be close
enough to carry the label without much
critical argument. Chase had more
dash and style combined than any of
the others; Lajoie more Of the ease and
grace that combine to make every play
look too easy to be believed. Laioie
had the faculty of making almost i'm
possible plays look as simple as easy
pick-ups. Others may have different
selections to offer, but this at least will
slip by.
