expected to do plenty of pro-
miScuous tinkering with his
lineup during the 1884 base
ball season in order to make
the team repeat its achieve
ments of 1888.
He told the jewellers at the
father-and-Son banquet Of the
Brotherhood of the Washington
Hebrew Congregation as much
last night when he was pressed
for an explanation of substitu-
tions he had yesterday-suc.
cessful substitutions it might
be added in view of the teams
victory.
The gist of his remarks may
be summed up thus:
There is no such a thing as
a regular lineup on the Wash.
ington ball club.
There are % players available
for the majority Of the cham
pionship race and no one Of
them is doomed to sit on the
bench if he can be of use in
the actual conflict.
In baseball it is every man
for himself and the players
who are on top Of their game
are the ones who may expect
to see daily service. Those who
fall below their established
form must be sidetracked until
they regain their peak.
Good Man Selected
Legalized boxing in the Dis
trict of Columbia gets away to
a splendid start in the naming
Of Major Ernest w. Brown,
Superintendent Of Police, as
the departments representative
on the local fight commission.
The District Of Columbia
Commissioners, in n m in g
Major Brown, show the thor
oughness and efficiency with
which they expect local fight
supervision to be handled. BY
selecting not only the best
man in the Metropolitan Police
but the very head thereof to
function on the boxing board.
the city fathers also indicate
the high type of men who may
be expected to be named for
the two civilian posts.
The racketeers will never put
a finger on District boxing so
long as Major Brown helps
conduct fiStic affairs here, as
he knows every phase of the
half-world which in many To-
calities has tried to chisel in
on fight promotion.
The District Commissioners.
viewing the infant sport of
fisticuffing here, apparently
take the attitude that the best
is none too good when it comes
to the personnel Of the D. C.
boxing board, and so they
pick the top man of the police
force as an initial gesture of
their sincerity toward the
towns newest sport.

like to wager on lunches should
bear in mind that the Rancocas

won the Paumonok the same year
that he took down the Derby.
Sergeant Byrne may prove an
other Zev.
Jockey Sammy Renick after the
race told Trainer James Ritchie
that he thought the colt would
win the Derby easily, as at no
time during the six-furlong dash
did he ever ask the colt to do his
best.

proved the bargain of the year

the youngster for only $500. Thus

,TlUO Teams Enjoy
Hit and Run Sprees
CrOnin to Shift Often

If you like a baseball game
overloaded with hits and runs,
you should have been out to
our ball yard yesterday.
- It required the services Of an
expert accountant to keep track
of all the fence busting and
'fun-scoring, the best minds hav-
ing collaborated at the end Of
the game and arrived at the
unanimous conclusion that 26
hits and II runs had been the
harvest Of the day between the
Competing clubs.
Washington had the margin
in both efforts. but the Harris
lead Red SoX took their licking
standing up and when the
days hoStilities were over there
wasn't so much daylight be-
tween the two teams, the score
being 10 to Z.
Glad They're Gone
I imagine the Griffmen are
breathing a sigh of relief that
they are done for the time be-
ing with the Boston club. Dur
ing their two-game series here,
they were anything but push
overs.
They captured the opening
encounter and dropped the
finale only after a stubborn
fight against a five-run handi-
cap which they were carrying
after washington had taken it's
first turn at the bat.
There were not only singles
rattling off by the two clubs
yesterday, but triples and
doubles galore. Heinie ManuSh
got one, two and three base
hits.
Cronin got himself a triple
and a single and Cecil Travis,
filling Ossie Bluege's shoes at
third, got double and a single.
Fact is all three of the new
faces Joe inserted in his lineup
took liberties with their bats,
Dave Harris getting two singles
and Bob Boken one.
Two Fielding Thrills
Bill Werber, Roy johnson and
Carl Reynolds were the extra
base clouters for Boston who
lent spice to the afternoons
barrage, the Berwyn boy getting
q double, johnson a triple and
Reynolds q two-baser.
Bobby Boken sent a tingle
through the crowd in the sixth
inning by scooping up George
Walberg'S grounder with the
same motion he tossed it to
Cronin to start a double play
on Bucky walters and Walberg.
Then Cronin caused "ahs and

PROF. WEAVER
LASTS TWO
INNINGS
BY GARRETT WATERS

Pitcher, pitcher, my kingdom
for a pitcher!
That's what is revolving in
Manager Joe Cronin's mind these
DAYS as he watches his supposedly
dependable hurlers fail dismally.
Yesterday, it was Prof. Monte
Weaver who flopped suddenly
after he had travelled nicely for
two innings.
Monte makes the nth pitcher
now who has failed to last after
having been given a starting
chance since the Griffs opened
the campaign. Some of the others
have been Earl Whitehill, Lefty
Walter Stewart and Ray Prim-
good pitchers all, but still that
apparent two weeks" away from
being in topnotch fettle.
There must be some reason for
this complete lack of form and
the only logical idea is that we'll
worn out "lack of exhibition
game" wall. which has been Of
fered a hundred times since the
campaign was inaugurated up IN
Boston a little over week ago.
Joke Exhibitions
But when you come right down
to it, the Joke" exhibition sched-
ule the Griffs played this spring
has had a great deal to do with
the mediocre showing Of Mana
ger Cronin's pitchers to date, as
it will be remembered only three
or four of the contests gave the
boys competition of the big league
sort.
Then again, there were so
many postponements that it was
sometimes days before this hurler
or that could be given a chance
to work his three innings-the
length of pitching time. Manager
Cronin found he could offer his
men, due to number comprising
the staff.
Now, the big topic today is
what remedy must be put into
effect? What is to be done?
What will be the result?
The only thing Cronin can hit
upon is to carry on with his
staff until each man finds him
self. Tommy Thomas apparently
reached this goal in his effort
at Philadelphia last Sunday, and
there's no reason, Cronin be-
lieves, why the remainder Of the
hurlers won't reach their sup
posed form shortly, maybe over
night, as such events have been
known to happen in the past.
Russell Rescues
Jack Russell, sensational right
handler of 1893, offered indica-
tions of this latter point yester-
day as Monte Weaver'S rescue
man in the game which the
Griffs won, 10 to 7.
True, Jack was hit hard and
timely but he demonstrated
enough heart and stamina to
pull out the winner. All told he
hurled six and one-third innings.
The Sox reached him for five
hits and two runs, these markers
coming IN Cno SeVeHGu WA1eA
Morgan walked, Roy johnson
tripled, and Solters nit a long
fly to- Harris.
The game was a revelation,
forgetting the pitching, as it saw
the Griffs come out of their bat
ting slump to the extent Of Is
hits against four hurlers used
by the Sox for the day, namely,
Bob Weiland, Henry Johnson, Rube
Walberg and Herb Pennock.
Five runs we're scored in the
first inning, three in the second
and two in the seventh off these
pitchers. Heine Manush collected
a double, triple and single to
lead at bat, while Cronin gathered
a double and triple to stay near
Heine as an extra base clouter.
Other encouraging hits were
offered by Fred Schultz, Dave
Harris, Cecil Travis, BOB Boken,
Joe Kuhel and Moe Berg-,al
