. &= _ SPORTS. . McGRAW’S MEN CAPTURE - KNOXVILLE GAME, 4 TO 2 BY DENMAN THOMPSON. ie P ETERSBURG, Va.,, April 6—Some fireworks may be set off today 1 b kS when the Giants and Griffmen clash here, but, after the thrilling son Monday, yesterday’s affair at Knoxville was disappointing in its tameness. The Giants obtained a 4-2 verdict largely through the edge in itching, which they presented with Shufflin’ Phil Douglas and Southpaw ube Benton. The Nationals obtained a half dozen bingles, the same as registered by the Giants against Zachary, but the McGrawites bunched them to better effect, and also were fortunate in having one ordinarily pop fly drop outside a ridiculously short fence in right field. fl Judge was the only Griffman able| . to accomplish much with his flail, etting a total of three safeties | hacht toiled on the mound for the | last two innings and looked goed, per- | TS mitting nothing that resembled a hit.

It is probable Mogridge and Acosta | Jurn. 1f. or Courtney will be called on for box | py ., duty this afternoon, while the Griffs may have to face the southpaw slants of Arthur Nehf, the best flinger in McGraw's stable, for at least half the distance. ‘Word received yesterday by Clark Griffith from John Heydler advising him, in effect, that Brennan js a mem- er of the National League's staff of umpires, left the Washington mogul no alternative but to accept Brennan as the official for the remainder of JUDGE NOT TO BLAME Schneider, Douglas, Benton, 'p. *Bancroft Totals . 2 27 12 *Batted for Douglas in the sixth inning.

Brennan had signed to work in the Southern Association this year, but the message of the National League executive said he had just received a telegram from Presidnt Martin of the Southern League ad- vising him that Brennan had been re- leased to the major circuit. Having agreed to accept any N tional or American League umpire, there was nothing for Griff to do, ex- cept to go on with the games, but there were other weighty considera- tions. The Washington club would have been liable for damages under the rules of organized base ball had it refusgd to carry out its contract to play the Giants. It also would have been deprived of the benefit of com- petition from a strong team to put en the finishing touches of its_con- ditioning and, last, but mot least, would have lost a big wad of coin Thich may be expected {0 go a long | Virt : | way toward defraying the expens ."1: ot Douglar, 3.
