. echmen Seek
Second Win
OF Series
By GARRETT WATERS

It's revenge of the first order,
the Tech High nine will be after
when today it meets the Roosevelt
High Rough Riders in an inter-
high series baseball game at the
Roosevelt Stadium at $3.50 p. m.
The Techmen lost their last
time out to an moderated Eastern
High nine. 5 to 0. This setback
came at a time when the Train
ers were in the mood to go places.
A week or so before they won
from Woodrow Wilson, beating
all the while, the Presidents crack
hurler, Kilmer Bortz.
Now the boys are anxious TO
get back into the winnin5 class.
They vision the chance for some
sort OF revenge today and hope
to take it out on the Rough Riders,
who were anything but rough in
their contest against woodrow
Wilson last Friday.
DOOniS on Mound
Coach Rusty Thompson prob
ably will start Tommy Doonis on
the mound today. Doonis has been
going at a fast clip in recent OUT
side games and looks to be the
best pitcher on he roster.
Of course, Thompson will have
Buddy Webb in readiness should
Doonis run into any trouble. It
was Webb, who turned in a nice
relief effort in the Woodrow VIII
son contest, and who won his own
game later on with a timely dou-
BILE to right center.
However, it was the same Webb
who lost to Eastern a week later
when Walter Lefty" Stockwell
beat him in that 5-to-0 encounter.
Even with This loss against his
record, Webb is considered prom
iSing hurler-one who still has
three years of high school base
ball ahead or development.
CiOmei in Center
Techs talented lineup of veter-
ans and near veterans will take
the field again. Joe Ciomei will
be in centerfield. Walton Mer-
chant will be in left, Abe Fillah,
in right; Bob Kendall, at first;
Roy LemeriSe. at third, with Cor
don and Curtis forming the key.
stone combine at short and sec.
ond, respectively. Jimmy Wise,
all-High in 1880, will be behind
the bat.
Roosevelt will string along with
Sammy Mallos on the mound.
Mallos pitched steady ball after
the first inning of last weeks
clash against woodrow Wilson
and should be even better today.

1.-THE Trial" will furnish ample
excitement until the thousands
really start pouring into town for
the weekend and its 63rd running
Of the Kentucky Derby.
Today's trial" will bring out OF
hiding at least three of the out

asked since 1903 horses were named
for the Derby away back last
March.
First Time Out
1.-THE Trial" will see Trainer Bob
McGarvey, of the Milky Way

a delegation of Los Angeles racing
experts just arrived at the Downs
feel at home today.
Watched Carefully
Reaping Reward in this skirmish
today is the starter among the 10
named that will be watched with
more curiosity than any Of the
others. For Reaping Reward,
listed among the favoriteS for
weeks on end, has been hiding out
and this will be his first race Of the
year.
1t will be interesting to observe
whether the Milky Way Farm
standard bearer goes the way Of
the other two early favorites

Meet
On Ball Front

NEW YORK, May 4.-The base.
ball scenery shifted today, and for
the first time this season the West
ern clubs came East in the Ma
tional League and the Eastern
clubs went West in the American.
The champion Yankees opened
a three-game series at Detroit to-
day, and we're expected to find the
Tigers somewhat tougher than
they were last season, now that
Hank Greenberg and Mickey
Cochrane are back in the lineup.
The Tigers generally are picked
to give the Yankees a race and to
finish no worse than second in the
American League.
After concluding the Detroit
series the Yankees will move to
Cleveland to meet the Indians and
thereby take on what is regarded
as their only other challenger for
the title. During their stay in
Cleveland, to enliven the situa-
ton, they will be opposed by Bob
Teller, who has been out with a
sore arm but now is reday to begin
Winging again in an effort to bring
the Indians home in front.
Tuned for YankS
BY way of getting tuned up for
the Yankees, the Tigers played n
yesterdays only American League
game, and beat the Chicago White
Sox, IL to 9, pounding out 10 hits,
including a homer by Greenberg
with the bases loaded. The
victory gave the Tigers a clean
sweep of the series and gave them
a firmer hold on the league lead
The Giants lost the days feature
in the National League wien they
barely escaped a shutout at the
hands of the Boston Bees and Lefty
Bill Weir. The Giants scored run
in the eighth to avert a blanklng
and lost the game 3 to l, with
Hal Schumacher hurting STEADY
ball most of the way, but expert
encing one bad inning, the fourth,
when the Bees did all of their
scoring. Smith relieved Schuma-
cher to hurl the last frame for
the Giants.

arm.
The younger brother of Dizzy
Dean has been having trouble
with his hurting arm for two
years. While the arm was sound.
he performed spectacularly on the
mound, with many believing he
would develop eventually into a
hurler greater even than Dizzy.

BY SID KATZWELL

DR.. William Mcclellan, president
Of the Potomac Electric Power
Company, has been interested in
baseball for a good many years.
And when Vic Gauzza, energetic
prexy of the National Capital
League, asked him to toss out the
first ball today to help inaugurate
the circuits 1887 season, the good
Doctor without hesitation gra-
ciously accepted.
The game which brings together
Pepco and Peoples Drug Store
starts at o'clock on the East
Ellipse. Chestnut Farms Dairy's
75.plece band will pep up the
players and fans with popular
music of the day.
Sullivan on Mound
Joe Sullivan, one of the greatest
pitchers who ever wore an Eastern
High School uniform, has been
selected by Manager Claude Yves
sells, of Pepco, to face the reputed
smuggling Drug clan. Sullivan was
chosen on the mythical all-high
team the three years he twirled
for the Lincoln Parkers. "Tubby"
Ault, who used to tag EN- for
Central High School a few years
ago. is set to catch Sullivan's
shoots. Duke windsor, mentor Of
the opposition, has three mounds
men available for action. They
are Gordon Rice, Earl Morris and
George Wheatley. Mike MilaSki,
another former Eastern High boy,
will take care of the catching de-
partment.
PWA and Ballston A. C. were
returned winners in yesterdays
league openers. PWA took a
thriller from G.. P. o. in the De
partmental League, while Ballston
A. C. slammed Clarendon A. c.,

commentator, tossed out the initial
ball in the Old Dominion loop,
while Clark Griffith participated
in the flag raising ceremonies.
Lefty" Matlack pitched for the
victorious PWA nine, and Bob
Lyons, veteran southpaw, hurled
for the defeated G. P. o.
Lefty" had only one bad in
ming, the first, when his wildness
permitted G. P. o. to score three
markers without the aid of a hit.
All told he allowed seven hits,
while his mound opponent was
touched for 10.
Louis Lefty" Jewett, who can
pitch as well as he can play the
outfield, run and hit, was the
outstanding performer for the
winners. His spectacular base
running enabled PWA to score
the winning run in the seventh.
Farrell Stars
Jake Farrell, PWA'S stellar third
Sacker, was the fielding star of
the day. He stopped a G. P. O.
rally in the seventh inning when
he snagged liner to his left and
then threw to first base for a dou-
BILE play.
Hudson and Matlack collected a
pair of hits apiece for the victors,
while George Lassise, of the Tech
High fame, drove out three for
G. P. o.

NET Of AMERICAN
LOCOMOTIVE GAINS
$685. 900 Profit for Half
Year Compares With
Loss in 1886.
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, August 5.-American
Locomotive Co., for the six months
ended June 80, today reported net
profit Of $685. 900 after charges, but
before undistributed profits surtax,
equal after six months dividend re-
quirements on the 81 cumulative pre-
ferred stock on which arrears total
S30.25 a share to Sill common share.
This compares with net loss Of sl75,625
in the first half Of 1886
Dollar volume of untitled orders for
both locomotives and other products
on July totaled $32,518,822, against
S2l ,429,073 at the beginning of 1897
and $8,920,005 year ago.
Commenting on the outlook, William
c. Dickerman, president, said:
AT about the close of our half
yearly period there came, and there
still is, practically a complete cessa-
ton Of locomotive buying orders.
Nevertheless with the crop situation
throughout the country generally bet
ter than it has been for the past few
years, and with the marked and grow
Ing increase in weekly car loadings, it
may reasonably be expected that such
buying in at least fair volume will be
re umed before the close of the year"
He added that volume of business on
the books indicates "a fair margin of
profit" for the full year 1887, and said
the board later on undoubtedly" will
give consideration to the matter of
preferred stock dividend accumula-
tlors.

NEW YORK, August 5.-Liquidation
of several large blocks Of stocks in
private deals outside the stock ex-

disappointment over the thinness of

for obscure or unseaSoned issues to

The difficulty has been, brokers as
serted, that with turnover in the ex-
change running well under a million
shares daily, an offering of a block
OF any size has had the effect of run

This has been particularly noticeable
