E Hodap, 18-Year-Old Indianapolis Boy, Gaining E perience Under Bush—Poor Pitching I Responsible for Plight of Athletics. BY JOHN B. KELLER. OSTON. Mass., May 7.—Making the .500 grade in the club standings B appears to be an impossible achievement for the Nationals.. Last scason they flirted with it time after time, but never reached the fiity-fifty mark. even though they managed to creep into the first division at the fag end of the American League campaign. This season the club has been trying to reach the .500 standing ever since it fell below it two wecks ago. but now it will have to wait until it plays on its home field to climb to the hali-way point—ii it can. That 14-to-4 drubbing sustained here yesterddy made it impossible | for the Nationals to return home Saturday with their victories offsetting their defeats. It also indicated that they will be fortunate to return home with a standing as good as that now credited to them. The pitching which carried the club over so many rough spots during the first two weeks of the campaign has been missing in this cool town. Monday" exhibition was sad enough, but yesterday’s was even worse, and with the club uncertain at bat and afield the immediate future is none too rosy.

Thompsdn's record is not quite spectacular as that, but it is along the same order.

Burdine's performance against Tech for five innings in an arlier engagement was impressive nough, but apparently Coach Guvon was a bit skeptical of starting any other flinger than the diminutive Roudabush.

With two down in_ the second, however, Gordon smacked a four-base wallop, one of the longest drives ever seen in the stdium. Then Hance, Robeson and Phipps got to Roudabush for neat clouts and Central was never headed thereafter. That fifth inning slugging bee by Central blasted Eastern's hopes. A barrage of bingles, including a homer by Phipps, was hammered through the Easterners, who completely “blew up.” By this time Central had sent across ten runs, enough to put the game on ice, as Phipps was setting a merry pace, allowing Eastern one tally in the fifth and another in the ninth. in whose Phipps, in_ the interscholastic school tennis matches was to start today with Business tackling Tech on the courts at 6th and B streets.
