Pistorlo's band has been hired to play an attrac ts e programme of popular airs before the game, and the umpire win can "Playr' at 3 oclocK sharp. President Tnft may throw ont the drat ball. Connie Mack's chanplons, with their famous home-run slugger, "Good-night" Baker, are not scheduled to arrive here until noon to-day, following out their usual custom, and consequently It could not be learned Just who would oppose Walter Johnson In the box. .but Mack Intimated to the Quaker City scribes yes terdav that Jack Coombs would be noml nated. as the "Iron man" Is in the best shape of any of the twlrlera. Coombs was able to beat the Nationals In the opening conflict, but he had his troubles, and as Orirra noperuis are mi-line- the ball these days. It Is a good. even-money bet that Washington will win. Frenchy ttIH be there with bells Caniial fans will see a far different ball club from the one which performed here during the early exhibition games. Kid Foster, who is hardly bigger than a bat. has kicked up large wads of dust by his brilliant fielding Out-of-town scribes who usually take the Washington club as a joke have seen .fit to say a few kind words, and Foster has been the target of countless, bouquets. The kid deserves all the good things said of bun. Come out this afternoon, boys, and see him perform Alnsmlth will likely be called upon to hold Johnson's speedy shoots, and the Cambridge lad demonstrated last Thurs day that he could be depended upon to Tires -&' GRIFFITH, IN STATEMENT TO HERALD, SAYS CLUB WILL FIGHT TOXAST DlTCH' "I am making no first division claims for the Nationals. I would not offer to bet that my club will finish any higher up than it did last year, but I will say that the boys are, giving me the best they have in them and that at present we are in good-enough shape to give any team in the American League a stiff battle. No-ball game is oyer .until the last man has been retired in the ninth, and we will be beaten then and only then. "I sent Johnson home from New York Monday with in structions to rest up, as 'I -expected to workhim during the open ing game here with the Athletics, but Walter was forced to pitch a hard game against New York, and unless he feels equal to the task I shall not ask him to go in the box, but will use Dixie Walker. , ' "You can tell -the readers of The Washington Herald for me that the Nationals are out to fight for every game to the last ditch. Each man will do his best.. All we ask is that the fans give us a square deal. I will be at the head of the club here for three years and if our youngesters do not pan out as I hope this season, 1 can only try again next year. Rome was not built in a day and the same goes for a major league ball club." Clark Griffith, manager "of the Nationals made the foregoing statement to the Sporting Editor of The Herald when interviewed at his home late last night. do his share. "Gabby" Street la not needed: in fact, ne is not missed. "Who's the batter, boys hurry up." . Old faces on the club are few. Walter Johnson. Capt. George McBrlde. Clyde Milan, and Germany Schaefer are all that remain of the club which finished a poor seventh under Jim McAleer last j ear. The new men are Jack Flynn, former Pirate, on first; Jack Knight, the lanky ex-New Torker. at second. Kid Foster at third, find the fleet-footed Dan Moellen rated as the best outer gardener In the Eastern League last year. In left. The reception which awaits the veterans wlU be no whit greater than the ovation the fans are sure to tender the young' stera. Altogether a glorious good time Is promised at our snug little concrete coliseum, providing the weather man Is merciful. Eddie Gagnler Is htttlnr and fielding like a fiend In the American Associa tion. He la considered the best Indian apolis ever had. As president of the Northwestern League, Fielder Jones Is a decided suc cess. He Is working hard, and the fans of this circuit arc loud in their praise of the former White Sox manager. NATIONALS ARRIVE; ACL FEELING FINE Griffs Band Disgruntled Because Weather Kept Them from Third Victory. The Nationals returned from New Tork last night, arriving at Union Sta tion at 8.24 o'clock, where a big throng of Washington fans awaited to bid them welcome. Manager Griffith was the happiest one In the bunch. He was asked: "It must have seemed good to win those two games from the Highlanders, didn't it?" and he replied with a smile: "You know It did." The Nationals' boss said he was satis fled with the showing made thus far by his charges, and added that every man was In good shape phjelcally. Clyde Milan, the speedy little outfielder. when asked how he felt about the shift In the batting order, whereby his place as lead off man was usurped by Dan Moeller. replied that he was perfectly satisfied, and believed he would be of more value to the club batting third Notwithstanding the favorable predic tions of the weather man rain fell In New York yesterday and Griffith's band missed the chance of cleaning up the series, which would have been some record. The Yankees are shot to pieces, and with Dixie Walker In good form there would have been nothing to It. The members of the Nationals were especially anxious to mix It up for the third round and sat around the hotel In the morning casting frequent gums at the falling poze. Hpwever. about noon Griffith herded the bunch together for the return by the Congressional Limited. A healthier lot of athletes never gath ered for the opening game at home, as the two days of Ideal baseball weather in Gothamville enabled eery one to round up In great shape. Manhattan scribes are getting all work ed up In showering praise on Foster, and they can't seem to say enough good things about mm. His work around the third sack waa marvelous, and talk about op portune hitting! The next time the kid plays at FarreU's park It la safe to pre dict that no one will take him for the bat boy. as happened two years ago when he was trying for a position with the Yankees. When Foster and Knight, the quondam Highlanders, broke up Tuesday's game it was too much for the fans. "He ain't done right by our sister Nell." came from the bleachers. Five hits In two days for Milan; did you get 'em? Schaefer is sure popular with the New York Jans, and his anUcs were the one source of Joy to the saddened multitudes. His bunny-hug and jelly-wobble danceTon second with Nationals resting at the other two stations In Tuesday's bout was enough to 'upset any twlrler, not to speak of a busher like McConnell. Manager Wol erton, of the Highlanders', at least has a precedent that he can follow. In 1919 he started with Oakland. of the Pacific Coast circuit, when the team was a bad last, and the game on the afternon of the Fourth of July put the nine In first place. BATTDto OBDEB TO-DAY.

Sheridan's case had been diag nosed by an eye specialist, while Blackburne's physician bad ad vised an operation on his knee. While unable to play, Black burne, when Sheridan gave an Sheridan was working the bases, and a number of close decisions had gone against the Sox on the paths early in the game. Black bourne, when Sheridan gave an unusually close decision against the team, yelled: "That specialist made a mistake. Jack, when he looked over you. He should have pronounced you stone blind. Sheridan, quick as a flash, re torted: "Yes. and If that surgeon knows his business he will ope rate on your head Instead of your knee." And Blackburne hiked back to the bench as fast as his lame knee would let him. AMERICAN LEAGUE' YESTERDAY'S RESULTS. All Games Potponednaln. GAMES TO-DAY. rhlladelpbla at Waablnaton.

Barger, Wheat. Daubert. and Enrln, of the Brooklyns. President Ebbets doesn't relish such Jokes. He said yesterday he wouldn't trade these men for the entire Chicago team, with Murphy thrown In. "Wolverton Is a lighter," declares one of the critics. That may be true, but he Isn't a rowdy. Aggressive baseball Is a delight, but senseless kicking Is un popular. Wol erton knows where to draw the line. Detroit baseball critics have Interposed an objection to the praises lavished upon Ty Cobb by outsiders, who give the Georgian credit for the Tigers show ing In recent years. In Detroit, Sam Crawford, the veteran outfielder who has pounded the ball so hard and consistently for many jears. Is Just aa much of a hero as Ty. The Columbus club will hae no field captain this jear The Senators have not hsd one for the List eicht years. and Bill Frlel Is not going to break the rule this season. "They are simply a matter of form, anyhow." Is the way he puts It. "Keep your eyes on the Philadelphia Nationals." says a veteran who taw the Quakers the other day Manager Dooln has developed a spirit of hustle and con fidence among his players. He Is an Ideal leader, and the Quakers are a happy family They are going after the Na tional League pennant thla year with a engeance." JAMESTOWN BESTJLTS.

Ohio. April 17 The Naps won't be In the hand-shaking league this season. Manager Davis Is dead agin the friend ship stuff on the ball field. The fans don't like to see rival players shake bands on the field. It doesn't look like real rUslry when they do. Davis goes further. He has ordered the Naps not to mingle with the opposing team In batting and fielding practice. He has ordered the Naps to get on tne field when the bell rings for the other team's cractlce session before the game. and if the other team don't get off the field promptly theyU hear from the Nap boss. It doesn't look as though a ball game would be a real battle when the players shake hands and visit back and forth be fore the bell .rings," said Davis. "Friend ship ceases at a certain point In baseball, and the earlier the better. Most ball players know no friends while they are on the field, and none should." BACING CABJJS FOB TO-DAY. Jamestown.
