What first attracted the ) of the club leaders to liopez was his manner of receiving, the technique he possesses being of the type that would do credit to a seasoncd mittman rather than a lad of high school aze. He has what is known in the par: lance of the sport as “good action.” but it was not until he started heaving the pill around that the realizaiion of his possibilities dawned on the strategical board.

Being the property of the Tampa team it would be necessary for the Washington club to effect some kind of a deal with the Smokers in order to acquire Lopez, but as these teams in the tall grass circuits always are in need of talent and the Nationals will have several athletes to place when the training season ends, there should be little difficulty on that score. Cubans Star in Game. Lopez has had considerable school- ing and speaks English quite fluently. It he catches on with the Griffs and makes the grade he will be numbered with a small but select list of his countrymen who have succeeded in the majors. It was Clark Griffith himself who, as boss of the Cincinnati Reds nearly two decades ago, brought out the ploneer cf the Cubans to reach stardom in base ball. His pro- tege being Armando Marsans, for years one of the first rank outfielders of the National League. Marsans came up with Alameda, a third base- man, but the latter lasted only one season. Baldomero Acosta was the first of these swarthy skinned athletes to wear 1 Washington uniform. Griff unearthed the llttle outfielder shortly after he aseumed the reins in the Capi- tal. Merito failed to last long in the big show before drifting to the Ameri- can Assoclation, where he found his level. Grift later picked up Catcher Ri- cardo Torres and Outfielder Jack Calvo, neither of whom lingered long, however. Miguel Gonzales, now close to 40 years of age, at last accounts still was doing duty in the big show as a mem- ber of the Chicago Cubs after a check- ered career that included high-clase s catcher with, first, the Bos. s, then the Cincinnati Reds, St. Louis Cardinals, New York Glants and the Cardinals again, following a term with St. Paul in the American Association in '23. In Adolfo Luque the Reds now have a native of Havana who is rated as one of the most effective hurlers in the Na- tional League at the age of 35, de spite the fact that he started playing professional ball 15 years ago. How Lopez shapes up as a hitter cannot be determined for some time yet, as batting practice will not be started before next week, but he has displayed enough in other departments to make his swatting ability a second- ary consideration. In view of his ex- treme youth, it may be several sea- sons before Lopez is ready for ser ice in the main tent, but the Wash- Ington officials are unanimous in pre- dicting o bright future for him. The arrival yesterday of Hank Seve- reid has served considerably to relfeve the situation in regard to warming- up partners for the fiingers in camp here, a burden which up to date has been borne entirely by Tate and Lopez. Severeid's mid is accounted for by was a misunderstanding in regard to his reporting time. He originally was scheduled to check in with the main squad next wee but subsequently was notified to report last Sunday and was delayed several days at his home Story City, Iowa, getting his af- irs in shape. Although well along in years, the record book showing him to be 35, Bevereid alwavs has taken good care of himself, und his appearance cor- roborates his assertion that he is feel- ing fit. With Ruel slated to bear a major portion of the work back of the va: vear and Tate desig- nated chief assistant, it {s unlikely Severeid will be called on for much backstopping, except In case of accident to one of the others, but he figures to make frequent appear- ances in the role of pinch-hitter, and it his 1925 average of .361 indicates anything, he should deliver the goods handsomely in this capacity.

Jennings CHAPTER LXX. DO not recall the best game I havy citing I believe was the 17-inning tic between Detroit and Philadelphia, played in Philadelphia on Monday, September 30, 1907. marked the turning point in the season's race, and by playing Philadelphia to a tie, Detroit was enabled to win the pennant. There is this about exciting games; they are rarely good games. I the play is near perfect, the game is mechanically as it is possible do not make for exciting base ball. that holds the thrills is the one that the big thrills in base ball are the result of errors. The series opened on the previous Friday. We won, § to 2, because of fine pitching by Bill Donovan and superb playing by Herman Schaefer. In that game, as I have already re- lated, Schaefer made four hits, scored two runs, drove in three and stole four bases. There was no game on Satur- day because of rain and because base ball was prohibited on Sunday a dou- ble-header was scheduled for Monday. Ends Hitting Streak. I asked Donovan to pitch again on Monday and he started, but he was hit hard, Philadelphia scoring three runs In the first inning. In the second Detroit scored one run because of an error, caused by the nervousness of Jimmy Dygert, the Philadelphia pitcher. and a safe drive by Claud Rossman. Philadelphia scored _ two more fn the third, and in the fifth a two-bagger and then a smashing drive over the fence by Harry Davis gave the Athletics two more runs and a lead of six As Donovan came back to the bench I asked him wha: was the matter. “They're hitting everything vou're handing them,” I told him. Donovan afswered: “I'm sure I don't know. I bave as much stuff as I ever had. My fast ball is working great and my curve is breaking right.” I suggested that probably the Athletics were steal- ing his signals. 1 advised a change, ordering Donovan to give the signals himself the next inning and let Fred- dy Pavne, who was catching him, glve them the inning after. I told them to alternate in giving signals. Also, I told them to change their sig- nals, using & _new system. This they did and the Philadelphia hitting dled down. In the seventh inning two errors and a base on balls filled the sacks with Tigers. Sam Crawford came to btat and smashed out a twobagger, driving in two runs. Cobb and Ross- man grounded in succession and a run scored on each out. This gave us four runs for the inning and brought us to within two runs of a tle. But Philadelphia_scored another run in the home half and the score stood at $ to 6. Detroit made another run in the elghth and when it came the Ath- letfcs’ turn at bat the first outbreak occurred. Donovan Hits Cross. Monte Cross was coaching at first base and he made a slurring remark to Donovan. The pitcher came over to protest. Schaefer and O'Leary also rushed to the scenes. Other players athered. There was on argument and during the excitement Donovan punched Cross in the jaw and knocked him flat. Several policemen had hur- ried out and one of them grabbed Donovan. Schoefer grabbed the po- liceman, shouting, “What you pinchin’ him for? He ain't done nothin’. It was this guy that hit Cross.” Schae- fer was pointing to Rossman and the policeman released Donovan and took sman off the field. This strategy Schaefer saved the game, for Roas- man was not going well and Donovan had started going like a house on fire. We could lose Rossman, but not Don- | ovan. I sent Ed. Kiillan, a pitcher, to first bare and later had Muliin, also a pitcher, pinch-bat for Killian and finish the game at first. Detroit came to bat two runs be- hind in the ninth. Crawford singled and Cobb hit a home run. That tied the score. As Cobb’s drive passed over the fence, ‘“‘Rube’” Waddell, who was pltching at the time (having re- placed Dygert in the second inning), walked out of the box and off the field without being ordered off by anybody. The last I saw of him he was disap- pearing through the door of the club- house. Battle Gets Hotter. With the score eight all, the battle grew hotter than ever. In the tenth inning Harry Davis hit a long fly to center. Sam Crawford backed to the crowd and was about to catch the ball when a policeman stepped In front o( him, pushed him back and the ball TROUSERS To Match Your Odd Coats EISEMAN'S, 7th & F Teams captained by Bucky Harris and Al Schacht wage warm battles daily In court game introduced to base ball of the American League champions.

Tommy said there had been interfer- ence. At last we got O'Loughlin to come down and ask Connolly. Tommy reiterated his remark. There was nothing for O'Loughlin to do but call Davis out. They tried to mob O'Loughlin and the police saved him. He was always blamed for Phila- delphia’s failure to win the game. Ban Johnson was asked to keep O'Loughlin out of Philadelphia. John- son was told “Silk” would be killed if he ever came back. It was really not O'Loughlin’s fault. While he rendered the decision, it was Tommy Connolly that made it, and “Silk"”” could not do otherwise, but there were scathing criticisms by Con- nie Mack and he got the fans well riled up about the matter. It contin- | ued deep into the next season. We made a run in the opening half of the eleventh. Victory was appar- ently ours. But in the home half Philadelphiz got a man to second, with two out. A long fly was sent to lett field. Davy Jones, our left fielder, misjudged the ball. It dropped behind him for a two-bagger, scoring the run- ner from second and tleing the score again, this time at nine. There was no further scoring. At the end of the soventeenth inning it was too dark to continue play and the umpire called the game. The Detroit players and “Slk” O'Loughlin were escorted off the field by the police.

NEW YORK, February 26.—Harry Greb of Pittsburgh, “the man with a thousand arms,” tonight will defend his middleweight boxing title against Tiger Flowers, Atlanta z:‘ro in a 15-round bout at Madis Square Garden, beginning at 10 o'clock. ‘With 18 years of professional boxing and 250 contests behind, the ‘“Wind- mill” is the favorite, Flowers has fought many of the leading men of the class and he has been fairly suc- cessful, but experts expect Greb’s two-hand attack, one of the swiftest| the ring ever has known, will cut down the Tiger. Greb gained his champion- ship by beating Johnny Wilson of Boston and three times he has defend- ed it officlally, once in a return bout with Wilson, again against the Eng- lishman, Ted Moore, and last Summer against the welterweight king, Mickey Walker. Flowers was knocked out twice last Winter by the light-heavyweight from Bridgeport, Conn., Jack Delaney. How the' boxers compare: FLOWERS. A O idiioe, n»mm eight’ ST.
