BY DENMAN W be rated as bright. owing pitcking. The deficiencies of the mound corps have been convincingly shown in the exhibition series with the Giants, which ended in New York yesterday with the usual victory for the National Leaguers, this time by a tally of 7 to 5. In only one of the set of half a dozen contests played to ion with the McGrawites, the one at Noriolk last Thursday, did the Washington team have the benefit of first-class hurling, and it is sig- mificant that in this battle the Griffs registered their lone victory. a deci It is not merely a_question of con- dition with the local slabmen. With the exception of Shaw, principally, | and Courtney in a lesser degree, all the pitchers are in good shape phys- feally. Their salary wings are strong and they are making use of all their stock in the way of speed and curves, but they are having a| very notable lack of success in the | highly essential business of deceiving | opposing batsmen. The Nationals have been guilty of more than the average number of early season fleld- ing blunders and have been playing | a strong ball club, but their hitting | has been uniformly robust, and the reason for their almost daily defeats at the hands of the Giants is directly traceable to lack of class in the center | of the diamond. Almost every mem- Ber of the staff at some time or other | ifi the past week has been hammered | at ‘critical junctures when not being sybjected to a continuous cannonad- ing, and the outlook now is that un- less they are able to tighten up considerably the team is in for con- sistent drubbing, despite its strength on attack. Shaw and Mogridge Impotent. The Nationals vesterday outbatted| the Giants, but failed to time their | blows so effectively, the local box- men being found vulnerable in the tight places.

Mogridge made a most impressive beginning. but one round was as far as he could travel before being thumped hard and often. Acosta alone escaped rough treatment and the Cube worked only one inning. Considering the frigid atmosphere, @ size of the crowd was a testimo- nial to the popularity of base ball. the paid attendance approximating 13.000. From a local standpoint the most pleasing thing about the pastime was the fact that McBride's two minor league sluggers, Miller and Brower, both did a bit of slugging when injected into the fray in the capacity of pinch hit- ters. Brower tore off @ healthy dou- ble, which scored a man from first, and- Bing lived up to his nickname by:slamming the ball to the farthest remches of the inclosure for three #acks, also with a pal on the runway. 7. Jim Gets a Pounding. Two clean, hard-hit drives netted the Glants the first run of the game after a pair had been retired in the nd. “Brown drove one of Shaw's alants on a line against the left-fleld fence for two bases and scored when Rapp promptly singled to left. Fa rives, three of ‘em, with a base on balls gave the New Yorkers two more tallies in the fourth. With one out Walker singled ‘and Kelly walked. Shanks sna: Brown’s foul. Rapp then rapped a liner to center, which Rice tried to £coop up and deflected to Milan, Walk- er scoring, but Kelly being held at third. Smith shot a vicious liner past Judge to send Kelly home.

Brown might have nipped Val at the plate, but he was napping and when he did decide to peg it was too late. Judge and Milan failed to get the ball out of the infleld.

After retiring the Giants in order in his first round Mogriige was mal- treated in the sixth, when a couple of errors by the huricr and five safe- ties, including a home run by Kelly, accounted for four New York tallies. Frisch led with a double, and took third when Mogridge fired Walker's intended sacrifice past Judge. Kelly then put & pop fly into the right fleld ‘ stands for a oircuit of the bases.

Eastern's game with Western and Tech’s clash with Business in the high school championship series feature this Griffs Threaten in Eighth. It was not until the eighth that the Nationals scored again, but they did it in wholesale fashion and but for scintillating catches by Kelly and Burns would have greatly in- creased the total of four tallies they amassed, Art Nehf being hammered to a fare-you-well. Kelly burglar- ized Lewis with a fancy one-handed stab at the outset. The elongated first baseman then muffed Rapp's sood throw of Harris' drive through the box and Stan scored on Shanks’ double to center, Hank registering on O'Rourke’s safety to left. Picinich connected for a solid swat that Burns dragged down only after a long gal- lop. Miller batted for Mogridge and walloped the ball to deep left center for three bases, cashing O'Rourke and scoring himself when Judge dupli- cated with a blow of similar propor- tions in the other direction. Milan ended the rally by’ whifiing. With Acosta on thé hill the Giants proved tame in their half of the eighth. Rice started something in the ninth, when he beat out a well-placed tap down the third base'line. Lewis was called out on strikes and Harris lofted. Shanks sent Sam to third with a liner to left center that should have netted two sacks. O'Rourke then ended it with a fly to Burns. Sidelights on the Wind-Up. The vagaries of base ball were il- lustrated in the opening round, when the first seven deliveries Shaw made were wide of the plate. Jim then got two over, and on the tenth pitch a double play resulted, Bancroft being set down on strikes and Burns dying on an attempt to steal second. Frisch made a remarkable catch of a fly off Judge's bat to deprive Joe of a hit in the opener. The Fordham graduate traveled deep into right fleld and took the ball over his shoulder. Rapp pulled an equally spectacular feat to rob Harris of a bingle in the second, when he leaped to stab Stan's smoking smash with one hand. Frisch cleverly avoided an error, with Harris on first, in the fourth, when he fumbled Shanks#’ grounder, but recovered in time to force Stan at second. Kelly's lengthy proportions enabled ‘him to convert a seemingly sure hit by Lewis into a put-out in the eighth. He leaped and speared the ball with his gloved hand. Judge was the hitting leader for the afternoon with a triple and two sin- gles in five attempts and narrowly missed getting another blow safe. Both of Rice's bingles were made off Nehf on bunts toward third. Sam has his underpinning in championship gear. Schacht helped Bill Brennan with the umpiring by working on the bases and did a good job of it. Altrock pulled a new one. He bor- rowed a fur cap with earmuffs from a youngster in the stand and gave an imitation of fancy ice skating. Dave Bancroft appeared at short for the first time since he had his tonsils removed nearly two weeks ago, but re- tired after four innings. He will be ready to play in the opening game of the season. Harry Harper, Eddie Foster and Mike Menosky were ex-Griffmen who fanned with their former teammates at the hotel yesterday. Play 22-Inning Game. LOS ANGELES, Calif..

In addition, each umpire will take the role of a special investigator and will analyze every game.

Give North Carolina George- town's pitching staff and it could sail through professional organiza- tions like the Virginia League with distinct credit to itself.

CUBAN WINS AT CHESS Capablanca Defeats Lasker in Tenth Game for Second Victory. Other Eight Drawn. HAVANA, April 11.—Jose R. Capa- blanca, the Cuban chess master. won the tenth game of the world cham- pionship match with Dr. Bmanuel Lasker, Dr. Lasker resigning after the sixty-eighth move. Capablanca now has won two games, Lasker none, and eight con- tests have been drawn. Dr. Lasker admitted soon after playing began last night that he had lost the game, but he did not resign at onoce, be- cause, he explained. he and the chess public were anxious to know how Capablanca would force the piece: inasmuch as the position was very intricate. He took nearly fifty min utes before replying to Capablanca’s sixty-fourth move, which had been sealed, when play ended early Sun- day morning. The play to the end was most de- liberate, but the German master finally realized that it was useless |to continue, and resigned before making the sixty-ninth move.

The managers admit this in the mo- ments when they sit down and coldly analyze facts. The latter are like scat- tered tacks, to be avoided in the night. One managers tack is lack of pitchers, another's is lack of batters, a third's is the lack of the flelders who would pro- vide one-third more double plays. Cham- plonship teams can always make double plays, and pennants are not won by teams that do not make them. Both the Cubs and the Giants in their great days Invited double plays in preference to anything else. “Let ‘em.hit ‘em ' sald Tinker and Evers and Chance.
