and was succeeded by Alvin
CroWder. The General" was
rocked for the determining count
in the eleventh.
Simmons, despite much hearty
booing, connected safely to cen,
ter. Foxx's shot to right and
MilIer's high fly did the rest.
Washington apparently had the
game locked up both in the ninth
and tenth. On each occasion
however, trusty Athletic bats
and the million dollar arm Of
Bob. Grove came through.
While sizeable crowd oVerlapped
into center field the AS got away
to good start.
In the very first inning Haas,
with one away, doubled to left
center. Simmons, who for some
mysterious reason is always good
for a chorus of booes locally,
laughed off his would be tor
mentors and singled Haas home.
Washington Immediately locked
the count in its half. Buddy
Myer walked and Sammy Rice
sacrificed him to second. Manush's
infield out and Cronins single
through Boley created the tie.
Spencer Clicks
Intermittent rallies were fruit
less until the seventh when
Washington forged ahead with a
single run.
Spencer got a great hand when
he doubled to left-his second hit
of the game. Buddy" Myer then
sent a two-bagger to the same
spot to send his team out in
front.
Pinch Hitter Jim Moore had
flied to Harry Rice in the ninth
before the Elephants were able to
do anything. Then Bishop un-
loaded single to right and was
doubled across by Haas.
Marberry relieved Hard
Luck" Brown at this point and
retired the side. Grove had
supplanted Walberg in Wash.
ingtOn's ninth.
An error by Sammy Rice paved
the way to a tenth-inning Ath-
letic run.
Foxx fouled to Bluege but Mil
ler singled to right and made
third on Sammys tumble. Dykes
walked and when Boley connected
to right Miller registered.
The dead game Griffs came
back with a counter in their
half. Smart baseball cropped up
as Judge singled to right and
Harry Rice beat out perfect
bunt down the third base line.
Bluege got q life on Groves FUN
BILE and Dave Harris, hitting for
Marberry, lined deep to Haas,
Judge scoring after the catch.
Then it was that the AS sailed
into Crowder to cop in Ghe
eleventh.

About all the consolation
Washingtonians can get out Of
the opener, however, they will
have to- look in the Holy Bible
to find. Somewhere there it
says the first shall be last and
the last shall be first. Today
Washington shares the last posi-
ton with four other teams and
the Athletics the first with the
same number. Out of such a
scramble will come winner.
From the first official glance
at the Griffmen, one can't say
they are poor ball club.
Certainly Lloyd Brown twirled
great ball throughout eight
innings and just as certainly
his team mates gave him fair
support in the manner of hits
and runs.

Diamond Pastime Finds Too
Many Rival ShoWs-Some
Minors to Play It.
BY JOHN b. FOSTER.

n JEW YORK, February 18.-
M Night base ball will be
/ Y tried again in some minor
leagues. The Jersey City
club has abandoned it. This
brings up a question which has
been puzzling base ball promoters:
Is night base ball popular in
large cities or popular only in
small cities?
Some clubs in the American Associa-
ton, which is essentially Midwest
organization, will return. to night base
ball this year because they believe 1t
to be popular. A few other clubs in the
Midwest and some in the South will
play night base ball. They, too, think
it popular in their cities. They believe
the outcome of this season will prove
the feasibility of night base ball.
Jersey City Gives Up.
On the other hand, Jersey City, which
is between New York and Newark, has
given up base ball at night, as there are
a thousand more night attractions to
fight than there are day attractions.
section wants an excuse to get out of
doors in the daytime.
In the small city where the popula-
ton is mostly engaged at work in the
daytime, night base ball may thrive
on account of the greater freedom that
the fans have to see game after
working hours. Night attractions are
limited in towns and cities of small
population.
Sam Breadom, president of the St
Louis Nationals is of the opinion that
night base ball will be played some
day in the major leagues. Hos col
leagues differ with him broadly. Some
of them think it never will be played
or attempted. Breadon has absorbed
some of the Midwest and Mississippi
Valley enthusiasm for base ball at night
which is not shared by the larger
cities of the East.
Owners Of major league clubs are not
willing to accept night records as in

JACK GETS AN|CKY
AS TROUBLE LOOMS
Says DRINKS Think They Can
Whip WorId-Generosity
His Great Trait.
BY EDWARD ]. NEIL,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

n YEW YORK, February d.
M Can you imagine Jack
1 Y Dempsey running away in
a panic because 1885,
FOUNDER dared him to put up his
fists and fight like a man? 1t has
happened.
The old Man Mauler would
tackle anything that ever lived
inside the ropes of prize ring,
but wax pugnacious out in public
and you'll lose part of your audi
ence abruptly. Juries in damage
suits have ways of sympathizing
with the amateur warrior.
"Drunks," he says, "are the worst.
They think they can lick the world.
I've run away from more fights outside
the ring than I ever had in them.
Dempsey probably won't fight again
because no one has asked him to. His
comeback "feelers' haven't excited any
one to make him an offer. He'd rather
keep on referring, but he is subject to
financial temptation. One thing he has
sworn never to do is manage fighter.
They gave him Leo Lomski once and
he gave Leo right back.
Wot Party!
He is one of the greatest hosts in
sport One party at his $250.000 home
in Hollywood cost $4,000. He likes to
talk about the swimming pool that cost
$4,000 and the 400 persons who can
dance in the ball room at one time.
He hates to be alone. The bigger the
crowd the better he likes 1t.
When wandering around the country
Dempsey carries pocketful of cash and
any hard-luck story Is worth ten or
twenty. Obvious charity embarrasses
him.
He was sitting with Tex Rickard at
his attorneys table inside the court
room rail on the opening day Of Jack
Kearns' suit against him when he
noticed a big fellow with pronounced
away quickly and scrooched way down
in the seat.
Only one person in the place saw
him drag all the money he had from
both pockets, put the bills in one hand
and the change back, lean over. whisper

Of every bit of paper money he carried

crumpled the bills into his right hand
and. with a show of great surprise, dis
covered the big. dragging fellow as he
was helped into a seat. He rushed
over, wrung his hand for a long time
chatted with him, and came back to his
seat. His right hand was empty.
That crippled guy used to work
with Dempsey, but the punching ruined
him." some one explained.
