FIRST 1888 EFFORT
TRIMS TIGERS, 81.
Leader in Effectiveness in
1882 Apparently Is Over
Spring Illness.
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.,
Associated Press Sports Writer.


Johnny ALLEN, most effec-
tive pitcher in the American
~ League last year, is back in
action again and the hopes
of the New York Yankees have
risen another notch.
Laid low by. influenza during
the training season, Allen came
through in great style in his first
start yesterday and beat the De-
troit Tigers, 81. Johnny allowed
only five hits, struck out six and
in general showed a return to the
form that brought him II vic
tories against only 4 defeats in
1882.
Behind him the Yanks again used
timely rather than powerful hitting and
smart play to get their runs They got
only six hits off Vic Sorrell, but scored in
two innings without getting hit Ben
Chapman once raced home from second
on an infeld out, and later Sam Byrd
tailed on tricky delayed double steal
Another sophomore" finger, lanky
Oral Hildebrand of Cleveland, kept the
lndians-Washington duel going full
tilt, as he won his sixth straight victory
in tough 10-inning battle with Earl
Whitehill. The final count was to 5
ano 1t put the teams back into a second
place tie. Whitehill's error in the tenth
paved the way for Cleveland's winning
run.

n YEW YORK, May 19.-The
M base ball bugs of the town
l Y are already beginning to
call the Giants the "Hit-
less Wonders" naming them after
the Chicago White SoX team that
won the world championship in
1906.
While the Giants are fighting right
up in the front ranks of the National
League combatants, their team batting
is weaker than that of the Pirates,
Phillies, Cubs and Cardinals. Still,
their combined average of .240 is some
better than that of the hitless White
Sox of 1905, whose team percentage
was only .209
No other major league team has won
championship with such a low bat
ting mark as that White Sox team of
27 years ago. Led by Fielder Jones.
who covered center field and was noted
for his aggressiveness, the "Hitless
Wonders captured the banner with a
record of SO victories and So defeats,
the Yankees finishing second with 80
and 81, the Cleveland Indians third
with SO and GA, followed by the Ath-
letics, St. Louis Browns, Detroit Tigers,
Washington Senators and Boston Red
Sox in the order named.
THERE wasn't 300 hitter among
! Fielder Jones players. Frank
Isbell, second baseman, averaged
.279; George Davis, shortstop, PIT;
Robe, third baseman, .258; Jiggs Dono-
hue, first baseman, .257; Tip ONeill,
left fielder, .248; Jones, center fielder,
.230; Pat Dougherty, left fielder. .226;
Hahn, right fielder, .221; Billy Sulli-
van, catcher, .214; Roth, catcher. 1876;
Tannehill, third base and shortstop,
ITS, and Hart, catcher, .162.
Lack of powerful hitting was offset
by the smartest kind of fielding and
fleet base running. The White Sox
stole 2O9 bases, Isbell leading with 81.
Superfine pitching was another impor-
tant factor. There were only six reg
ular boxmen-the great Ed Walsh. Nick
Altrock, crafty left-hander; Piano Mover
Smith, Doc White, southpaw; Owen
and Patterson.
Before the 1906 campaign started the
White Sox were consigned to the depths
of the second division by large ma
jority of oracles. 1t was conceded that
they had good pitchers, but were Ia
deficient in batting. From the
outset of the American League race
Jones had the support of every man on
his team. He never stopped telling them
that they had it in them to win the flag.
D IDICULED all over the circuit as
. puny stickers, the White SoX con-
tinued to fight desperately for
every game until on August l, in fourth
position, they rushed into the lead on
August r. From the 1st Of that month
until the 25th they rolled up 19 con-
secutive victories, most of them by low
scores.
The "Hitless Wonders" clung to the
leadership until the Yankees, led by
Clark Griffith, visited Chicago for the
last time in September. In three out Of
four desperate battles the Yanks were
victorious and wrested first position
away from the Sox But the latter, get
ting their second wind, while Grifffth's
men later cracked under the strain, re-
gained the lead four days before the
end Of the grind, winning the pennant
with exactly three games to spare.

Special Dispatch to The Star
A NNAPOLIS, May l9.-Without
n any knowledge of the others
intentions, the coaches of the
Naval Academy and the University
of North Carolina base ball mines,
which met here Wednesday, selected
each player of field position in the
same place in the batting order.
Mathematical experts here state
that the chance of such az CORE
spondence in the batting lists is
Overwhelmingly small-in fact, about
l to 1,300,000,000.
These were the batting lists on
the official schedule:
Naval Academy-Knapper, Short
stop; Smith, second base; Daunis,
first base; Berries, center field;
Pratt, left field; Vans Arsdall. catch
er; Cassidy, right field; Gadrow,
third base; Campbell, pitcher.
North Carolina-Phipps, short
stop; Weathers, second base; Brandt,
first base; Peacock, center field;
Kaiser, left field McCaskill, catcher;
Wick, right field; Powell, third base;

O NJ S
| AT TIE

T 7 NCLE CLARK'S Nationals,
| coming out of their slump,
~ mingle this afternoon in
the first of a three-game
series with Lew Fonseca's Chisox
who are making every effort to
come out of their hitless fog.
A dangerous White Hose nine, with
Earl Webb, AL Simmons, Mule Haas and
Jimmy Dykes as old faces IN new suits,
has managed to nose into the first
division despite the fact that neither
Simmons, Haas nor Dykes has hit any
where near their form.
Should the trio pick Washington
as. the spot where they will come out
of batting Sunderland, Uncle's PEN
nant aspirants will have plenty OF
trouble on their mittens. Simmons,
like all good hitters, goes into these
sleeping spells quickly and comes out
lust az suddenly. The same reason
for the shedding of the slump Is
identical with the one which sends
a good hitter into a snoozing spree.
And, 50 far, nobody has been able
to get a good profile view Of what
causes q batting slump.
With Bucket-foot AL swinging in his
old happy fashion there is little doubt
the Sex would be inspired sufficiently TO
make trouble for any opposition. But
with the star hitter star gazing, and
muttering to himself at the plate, none
of the secondary hitting talent has
been able to get moving except IN
isolated spells.
With your Uncle's boys getting out
OF the doldrums and the Sor ready
to do so at any moment, a s,oeet bat
ting series ought to be on tap. And,
more than that, it begins to appear
as if all of the teams are beginning
to iDiggle out of their hitting and
pitching difficulties at the same time.
This means that the teams tDith the
edges 7oD are going to hold them
into June, tohen the real tussling ,DiH
begin.
Sox or Washington will get George
Earnshaw, the Athletic pitcher who
has decided that he does not like his
pay envelope, having taken few peeks
at 1t.
But Big George has as much chance
of coming to Washington as, General
Crowder and Yves Ferrell have of going
to the Yanks. Connie Mack would
have to be suffering from three sorts
of heat attacks and nine giddy spells
to turn Earnshaw over to Uncle's care.
There Is no doubt but what the
Athletics can get a good price for
the Moose" from anybody in the
league. But there would be a loud
enough wall from the Quaker fans
to be heard from here to Moscow

REPUBLICANS Join
LAGUARD|A FUSION
Gives Almost Solid Support
of Anti -Tammanyites in
MayoraIty Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, August 4.-Txe Repub-
lican Mayoralty Committee unanimous
ly indorsed former Representative Flo
relic H. La Guardia today as the fusion
candidate for the mayoralty of New
York.
Approval by the committee gives La
Guardia assurance of almost unanimous
support of all anti-Tammany factions
in the Fall campaign.
The resolution favoring La Guardia
was presented by Charles H. Tuttle and
adopted by a large majority. It was
later made unanimous despite state
mer Gov Charles S. Whitman, who said
he would not support the independent
Republican.
Whitman, presiding, took no part in
the discussion. Several opponents of
La Guardia indicated their willingness
to submerge their personal feelings in
the interest Of united front against
Tammany. William r. Dorman, a La
Guardia opponent, presented the mo-
ton to make the designation unani-
nous.
The Republican action followed
closely the selection Of La Guardia by
fusion meeting which lasted until the
early hours today. The fusionists had
previously named Maj. Gen. John F.
Organ, but he withdrew in the in
terest of harmony.
La Guardia still must be q candidate
in the Republican primaries, and will
there be opposed by John F. Hylan,
former Democratic mayor, who has
designated himself to run. The for
mer Congressman, however, will prob
ably appear also under an independent
banner on the ballot,
