MORE PUNCH CHIEF NEED F GRIFFMEN Small Box Staff Will Burdened, Until Attack Functions Properly. | soon, their pitchers will have to do a deal of airtight pitching to get the club anywhere in the first month of the American League campaign. In the five games Walter Johnson's club had played up to today it looked anything but a scoring machine. It hit fairly well in games so far as averages go. but hitting averages do not win ball games. Victory comes mainly from the punch in the pinch and the Nationals have revealed little of this thus far. In the flve games, the Nationals scored but 18 runs and they went through 47 innings to get that many. ‘That's an average of only 3.4 runs per 9 innings, not such a striking average in these days of topheavy tallying. The Nationals on offense in the five games made 39 safeties, 5 sacrifices and plifered 5 bases. To this the opposition pitchers added 11 bases on balls and a ‘wild pitch and the clubs played weaken- ed defensively to the extent of five errors. Yet, all this was good for only 18 markers, Licked in Five-Run' Game. Only once in the five games did the Nationals amass as many as five runs and then they were licked. The totals registered by the Wash- ington club to date certainly do not indicate any strength in attack. Some- thing must be done and done quickly * to improde the Nationals offensively or Johnson’s slim pitching staff will be forced to carry a heavy burden. Perhaps the hurlers soon will be ready to do much better than they have. ‘Three have demonstrated they are in good enough trim for a route. Fred Marberry ~traveled along smoothly through the game in Washington last Friday and on the following day Sam Jones, who made such a doleful debut in the season opener, went through eight innings. In the Philadelphia in- augural yesterday, Irving Hadley gave a splendid performance before he was lifted after walking the first Mack to step to the plate in the tenth inning. ‘Then there is Adolph Liska, recruit, who appears sturdy enough to propel his baffling underfall pitches through nine rounds. These slabmen and others of the staff, too, will have to toil overtime until the club's batting eyes are cleared and a sound punch is developed if any real.headway is to be made. Good, hard hitting as well as a high- grade of hurling is needed nowadays to make a winning ball .club, however. The age of “hitless wonders” passed long ago. The club that rises these times is the club on which every man is swinging from his heels—and to date too many of the Nationals have been grl;%ne ww:upoob;'.s ‘&I}‘eih!u shoulders watch good pi whiz past— fld;i;ln‘ the ball hard and far when Little Chance for Practice. It is unfortunate that the Nationals find themselves so impotent in attack when they have little o ity to remedy the defect. Excepting two days, they will be away from their home lot until May 17 and thus have no chance to get in morning batting drills, some- thing that might benefit them greatly. As it is, they- must get what they can from the brief daily sessions pre- ceding the contests and these sessions may not mean much. As a rule, the wand indulged in before thel games only serve to loosen the batters’ muscles. They don't get the batters’ eyes on the ball particularly. So Manager Johnson can only hope his charges will come to life in a batting way suddenly or that his pitch- ers will deliver in exceptional style until there is a pick up in offensive play. That's a lot to hope, either way. Bluege, Judge, Haves. Be BY JOHN B. KELLER.

SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION. - | Cleveland MR = 3 H ] y DENMAN N-a less decisive manner, but just as effectually, the Na- tionals yesterday obtained revenge for the setback handed them in the season’s inaugural here last Wednesday by ruining the A’s mer for some 30,000 Philadel fans. And they thereby revived the flagging spirits of their follow- ers in the Capital. With their 4-3 victory over Mackmen in an 1l-inning thriller Walter Johnson’s outfit looked more like the bunch that breezed through all og- position so impressively in the Grape Fruit League games this Spring and gave rise to the hope that they will proceed at an apProx!mnte pace in the championship campaign. Hadley Regaining Form, Bump Hadley’s feat in limit- ing the hard-hitting Mackian troupe to a quartet of safeties over the regular route of nine innings was an encouraging development in view of the rough treatment accorded him by the A’s on his initial ap- arance last Thursday when bl;ey knocked him out of the X. The fact that Manager John- son saw fit to withdraw him after he had walked the first man to face him in the tenth inning undoubtedly was due in a measure to his exertions as a base runner earlier in that round when he was flagged at the plate trying to score from third on Rice’s fly to Bing Miller. With this indicated attain- ment of form by Hadley, the winning effort flashed by Mar- berry against the Red Sox and Jones’ fairly effective flinging over a seven-inning stretch against. the Hose in his second start of the campaign, Pilot Special Dispatch to The Star. HILADELPHIA April 24 —Hav- ing discovered they can beat the Athletics, the Nationals may show more fight against Connie Mack's aggregation in the two games remaining in the series here than they did against the same club in Washington last week. When on their own lot, Johnson's charges performed as though they did not have a chance against the Phila- delphians anyway, so what was the use. It was vastly different yesterday, however, in the contest that began the American League season here. Then the Washington crowd was full of gin- ger and go from start to finish, even tmfi it did not show any powerful af , and stuck to its guns through 11 innings, to eke out a 4 to 3 victory. Thrilis" 30,000 Fans. It was quite a battle the 30,000 in the stands at greater Shibe Park wit- nessed. The Nationals jumped into a lead right off the reel, only to have the A’s draw up to even terms before the sixth inning ended. Then both clubs fought de y to the eleventh. The Nationals flared up with a brace of tallies in that round, but the A’s came back for one marker and went down with colors flying. They had the bases filled when Homer Summa wiffed for the final out. Irving Hadley and Rube Walberg were mound opponents at the start, the same hurlers who faced last Thurs- day in the capital. Then Walberg de- feated Hadley decisively, but yesterday the Washington pitcher gave a splendid exhibition. He held the A’s to five safties before he was withdrawn after walking the first batter to face him in the tenth. Walberg went the route and the southpaw was socked for 10 hits, but only half of them had anything to do with the scoring. Between the National's scoring rounds, the Rube had a string of nine blank rounds. Home runs figured prominently in the counting. It was a homer driven over the right-field wall by Goose Gos- With the Sports Editor THOMPSON: Johnson has reason to believe the edge lost by hi due to a stretch of poor weather preceding the curtain raiser is being regained. And to these he can tenta- tivly add the name of Ad Liska who checked the A’s so em- ghatlca]ly for four frames in he oxener here after it ap- peared that a total of 27 put- outs never could be recorded by the Griffs. Other Encouraging Angles. There were other encourag- ing angles to the Washington victory yesterday in addition to the fact that hanging on to the eleventh round to cop was an indication of inherent game- ness. There was that theft of Myer in the final frame, for in- stance, an exemplification by Buddy that he must be reck- oned with as a base-stealer again, just as he was last sea- son, when he led the league. The fact that Rice produced a double that developed into a run when Goslin followed with his boundary belt, proved a source of gratification to the admirers of the veteran. And that it should be men as low in their batting order as Judge and- Hayes who put over the deciding tallies may be taken as a tip-off that Johnson’s ar- ray is dangerous at all points. Another eventuality that may figure in the alignment of the Nationals was the double pro- duced by Spencer Harris after he had taken West’s place in center field. West has not yet heen able to get his batting op- tics properly tuned up, and if he continues in a slump John- son may replace him with Har- ris, temporarily, at least, just #s he has withdrawn Barnes in favor of Rice. Nats Fight Bravely to Beat A’s, 4-3, in 11-Inning Thriller lin in the first round that netted the Nationals a two-tally lead, for Sam Rice was on the runway, by virtue of a dou- ble, when the Goose slammed. And it was a homer by George Haas at the outset of the sixth that put the A's even with the Nationals. Their first run had been registered in the second, session when Hadley hit Jimmy Foxx and Bing Miller hit Hadley for a double. In the seventh the Nationals threat- ened to break the tie. They filled the bases with a single and two passes, but Joe Cronin was sent in to bat in Sammy West's place after two were out and Joe swung in vain. In the tenth Hadley's single and Spencer Harris’' two-bagger came with one out, but Hadley pulled up at third on the double and was nipped at the plate when he attempted to score after Miller caught Rice's hoist. Goslin Starts Raily. Goslin began the Washington eleventh with a single, only to be forced at sec- ond when Myer tried to sacrifice. But Buddy offset this by swiping second, and after Bluege skied out Judge dou- bled Myer home. Along came Hayes with & single, and the Nationals were two to the good. Then the A’s threw a great scare into the Washington camp. Garland Braxton, who had relieved Hadley in the tenth and finished the frame bril- liantly, lost about everything he had in 2 bitening way at the start of the next | Discovers Running Ball Team| session. Hale and Foxx reached him for singles quickly. Braxton then pulled himself together sufficiently to strike out Millet, while the best Dykes could do was l\dvunoe the runners by ground- to Bluege. mgme Mu:‘; sent in the rheumatism- crippled Al Simmons, slugger extraor- dinary, to bat for Walberg. Al drew a that filled the bases—and it was no intentional uass, That so upset Brax- ton that he also walked - Bishop, and the A’s were within a tally of the Na- tionals with the bases jammed. But Braxton rallied once more to get Summa and the game. BIG LEAGUE STATISTICS American League. - YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. ;I!hh‘ 3 (11 inn'gs). “pavast0 uejsugseM GAMES TODAY.

By the Associated Press. HICAGO, April 24—Florence Killilea, comely owner of the Milwaukee Brewers, already has discovered that running a base ball team is a more serious ;‘a:k than playing bridge or keeping use. Since she took over the club following the death of her father, Henry Killilea, the Brewers have lost two star pitchers by Commissioner K. M. Landis’ free agent edict and dropped five of their opening six games in the American Association flag race. Alded by a wise manager in Jack Lelivelt, she is opening her purse, how- ever, and expects to get enough ad- ditional help to give Milwaukee fans the type of winning, fighting ball club they usually have.

HERE Is more evidence of the undergraduate revolt. Time was when the Yale Daily News, the undergraduate newspaper at New Haven, would have considered it treasonable to criticize any custom that might be held as helping to bring about a winning team. The Yale Dally News now says editorially: “It is not so many years ago that Yale, Harvard and Princeton agreed to limit the length of the Fall foot ball season. Practice at present is not allowed before September 15, a fortnight before the opening of college. No thought, however, was given to the incongruity of holding practice in the Spring, a season to which foot ball never has laid claim. The unpleasant sug- gestion of overemphasis, which is one that increasingly filled the foot ball atmosphere, can find in the unnecessary custom of Spring practice a fertile field in which to flourish. “We are unable to sympathize with those who argue that such a practice is essential to the production of a winning team. To us such an argument must collapse before the undue importance given to the game. There is such a thing as overdoing athletics, and the making of foot ball a business, which must be conducted in the morning as well as the afternoon of the year, is at best a doubtful experiment.” Another indication that the attitude of the undergraduate toward foot | ball is much saner than that of the alumnus, when a university undergraduate |"journal admits that there is such a thing as overdoing athletics. The alumni | Journal would consider such = statement as treasonable and an indication that | the old Yale spirit is dead and that the undergraduates of the present are | mollycoddles. s Tt Overemphasis? | TNTERCOLLEGIATE foot ball is a game that requires the best of conditioning. not only for the sake of winning games bat for the protection of the men | playing it. It requires more stamina than is shown by any of our professional pugilists, because it is a harder game than the manly art of modified murder as it is shown today. At Princeton, Bill Roper called his squad together and abolished Spring practice, merely telling his men o keep themselves fit. At Harvard they went through some very elahorate system of Spring training, even staging an experimental game to test out the new rules. As to whether or not Spring foot ball practice is a conditioner for men who are to work out in the Fall I do not know. The striking thing in the Yale Daily News is that the students aiso are beginning to talk about the cveremphasis of foot ball where the old grads cannot see how foot ball possibly could be over- emphasized, indicating, as I have maintained all along, that the students of the average college have the common sense and the perspective to manage their own affairs, particularly their sports. {BRITISH PICK GOLFERS |FIFTH FIGHT IN ROW FOR RYDER CUP MATCH " o\ B oa1 1 a N LONDON, April 24 (#).—The teams for the forthcoming Ryder By the Associated Press.
