SPORTS, \Red Sox Seem to Be Demoralized : Cy Williams Setting Record Home Run Pace :APPEAR WEEK IN LOSING TO THE BUSHMEN BY 7-1 Chance’s Aggregation Is Limited to Three Hits by Zachary, While Nationals Pound Pair of Bos- ton Flingers for Thirteen Safeties. BY JOHN B. KELLER. s OSTON, Ma May 25.—Anxious to return to their native haunts Sunday with at least an even break to their credit for the first road tour of the season, the Nationals this afternoon were preparing to e the Red Sox a bitter argument in the second meeting of the three- = - S game series between the clubs. That 7-to-1 victory ‘achieved yesterday over Frank Chance’s misfits made the road record of Bush's aggregation six games won and as many lost, and Walter Johnson was expected to toc the slab today in an effort to register a seventh tour triumph for the Griffs. Unless the Red Sox can show more mechanical ability in the field than they did yesterday. the proteges of Bush should not find it difficult to make it two wins in as many days. In the opening engagement of the series the Bostonese were, if anything, worse than when they played in Washington. The club appeared demoralized, both at bat and afield. Given any respectable pitching, the Nationals should fare quite well in the set of titles scheduled in this town. The Red Sox are listing up to pre- :cason dope with a vengeance. in at they can scarcely be rated as a ajor league aggregation. Perhaps too, their playing is affected by flack of e puragement on the part of the Boston folk. The few bright efforts put forth by Ch s men | Rice vesterduy elicited no applause from ! the scant assemblage in the stands. Boston evidently has had its fill of Harry Fraz regime in Ameri- League b ball here, nor are pposed to know the depths of oston sentiment quite sure that a ange of club own as reported vesterday will bring bac to the Red | ox any the mear future own if ever th f that might be dea of the Red Sox being controlled “by a Columbus, Ohio, syndicate not relished particulariy Zachary Fine Form.

BY JOHN B. FOSTER. EW YORK, May 25—A home run not only has to have steam be- N hind-it, but it must have personality to have a proper value at the L N box office or in the newspapers. When Ruth was making his home-run record, it was the habit to plaster his performance all over the town in big type and loud talk. The nation breathed through its nose and grunted deeply every time Babe swung. This year a meek and modest westerner swatting home runs for the Philadelphia Nationals is eleven days ahead the best record Ruth ever made: Cy Williams is going at the rate of eighty-five home runs a season, which is far and away better than Ruth performed or hoped to perform His four-base clout Thursday put him ninc up on Ruth when today’s fracases began. f S ‘When Williams hits one for the circuit all he gets is a line, “Williams made another home run today.” When Babe hit one he got a pot full of red paint and they let him sblash{ himself. Maybe people are waiting to | see Cy beat Babe. But if Ruth hadbeen thumping the ball this year as modest | Cy Willlams has, they would have been singing “glory hallelujah” in | | jazz time on Broadway. | Perhaps when Williams gets out west he will slow down as he won't have the short Philadelphia fences to | help him and Ruth may come back | Them over &t the Yank Stagturn. - | TECH NINE WILL PLAY TWO GAMES TOMORROW Williams Deserves Credit.
