Nationals Pound Out 18 Hits and Crush the Tigers 7 to 3 JL.rT--5o'-V - TIGERS BADLY IN THEIR ' Dixie Walker at Last Shows Form, and Allows But Six Hits Pitcher i By PAUL. H. BKCSKE. i (Baseball Writer, the Detroit Times.) I Bpadal to The. "Washington Herald. J Detroit. Mich.. May 22. Inspired by I come most astounding pitching on the Lpart of "Dixie" "Walker, and animated 2to deeds of daring by the unquenchable "pep" of Herman Schaefer, the Nationals roeo Tip to-day and smote the Tigers to the tune of 7 to S. It was a most amaz- , ing reversal of form, and sent the little crowd that had come to see washing ton slaughtered away from the park In a daze. The result was even the more unexpected through the fact that the 'Tiger who pitched the game was the hitherto unbeaten Ed Lafitte. Lafitte 'was simply hanged, drawn, and quartered by the Washington batsmen. Eighteen times they thumped him for eafe drives, "Lajoie" McBrlde leading off with only five out of five times fao lng the Southern pitcher. Every mem' ber of the visiting club, with the ex ceptlon of Cunningham and Henry, stung the highly rubberized sphere safely at some time or other. In addition, the "Washington batsmen made Detroit's confusion the more complete by working hit-and-run plays no less than five times. outguessing the supposedly supernatural Stanage and whaling the sphere to the spot just vacated by either Bush Delehanty with unfailing accuracy. "Walker's, pitching was almost of the shut-out order. He allowed the Timers but six hits, and would have held them to one run but for a bad chuck by Cun ningham, on which a run was scored in the fifth, and some palpable Interference by Delehanty. who smothered Schaefer and prevented a throw to the plate in the sixth. Nationals Score to Third. Lafitte was a bit wild, and this enabled the Nationals to start the scoring in the third. "With two out, Milan and Schaefer wero passed to first. The run ners got under way. Delehanty ran over to cover second and Lellvelt hit through his position. Milan scoring. In the fourth the men of McAleer scored again. Gessler singled and Mc Brlde whaled through Moriarty on the , hit iind run. Gessler taking third. He scored on Henry's sacrifice fly. The fifth saw Schaefer singling and on first with tuo out. Schaefer started for ! fcccond and McBride hit through Bush's vacated place, scoring- on Gesslcr's safe drive to center. .MeJUridc Hits Safely Affain. McBrlde got his third hit opening the ; sith. Jones got the next two bats- i men. Then Walker lifted a short fly over third. Hit-and-run plays, by Milan i .and Schaefer followed, each good for two i sacks and a score by the preceding rurt- r.crs. j Schaefer and Lellvelt hit together to i open Washington s ninth. Conroy sacrl- ficed and Gessler hit them both home. After holding Detroit hitless for the first four Innings, Walker let Morlarity open the fifth with a safe hit. He took second on Henrj's catch of Stanage's foul against the stand and scored when Cun- . nlngham chucked Lafitte's grounder low- to Schaefer. Hits by Cobb and Crawford, with Dclehanty's Interference with Schae fer, netted the Tigers their second run in the sixth. A single by Jones, Cobb's double, and Crawford's inllc'.d out In the eighth completed Detroit's total, with the only earned run secured off Walker. In the ninth Jennings paraded Drake and Schaller, pinch hitters, but they looked like anj other pair of dubs to Walker, who caught the latter's foul fly near the first base line, and struck the former out for the final play of the da.

Schaefer took great glee over the way the Tigers were being licked, and won at least a dozen arguments from old friends la the bleachers during the progress of the combat. Walker had a lot of speed, perfect con trol, end was mixing a epltter in with a swell curve ball. Mullln will pitch for Detroit tomorrow in all probability, with Gray the likely choice Tor Washington. Every one of McBrlde's five hits was clean and went Into the outfield. Only one of them could be described truth fully as anything less than a hard hit bah. Henry caught an excellent game, and showed that he had a grand whip. McBrlde also contributed the stellar fielding feat of the day, tearing over to the right of second "base in the ninth, spearing Morlarity's fast grounder, and beating the Tiger captain to first by a cwsli peg. : Milan pulled off two pretty catches In (center field. Both ho and Xielivelt had, trouble in gauging fly balls on account of a gale that was sweeping the field during a large share of thQ contest. i Erberfeld was not In uniform, due to i the shaking up which he received In the collision with Graney In Cleveland, yes. j terday. , .

Walker also fielded his position right up to snuff, his catch of Schaller's foul In the ninth being a ball that Henry had lost and Schaefer could not reach. The official attendance, 2,770, showed the low esteem In which the Nationals had been held. The crowd will un doubtedly bo larger tomorrow. A foul ball hurt Henry m the ninth. striking him on the shoulder. Trainer Quirk rushed out with something In aj glass which seemed to restore the ath lete almost miraculously. Milan and Bush collided In the sixth and Milan was laid out. For a time It was feared that he was badly hurt, but he Tevived and went back to his place as soon as he was able to pump some wind into his bellows.

WESTERN'SCHANCES ARE SLENDER NOW Principals to Decide Eligi bility of Howard. TKREE OPPOSED, IS CLAIM nigh School Baseball ChamplonsHIp Likely to Be Settled When Central and Technical Clash. To-morrow. Principal Wilson Declares Roles llrive Been Violated. The ellgibilty of young Howard, "Wes tern High School's shortstop, will be de termined at a meeting of the Ave Wash ington high school principals this after noon. Last Friday Central High was defeat ed by Western, and immedlatly after the ramp tho r Rtrooters entered a DrOteSt j claiming that Howard was not a bona nde student. Tho athletic advisers or the high schools held a meeting and de cided to refer the matter to the princi pals. If the latter decide that Howard Is a bona fide student, the incident will be declared closed. If the prin cipals decide otherwise, the athlctlo ad visers are determined to throw out all the games Western has won, leaving Central and Technical to fight it out for the championship. Central should have protested Howard before the game, but failed to do so, claiming their Information was not gain ed until afterward, when Clarence He cox, the machine shop teacher at Tech nical High, told Principal Wilson of Cen tral that Howard was working In a drug store during the time he was sup posed to bo attending classes at Western. It was this Information which caused Central to protest the game. Miss Westcott O. Kd Boy. According to the Central High School coach, the athletic adviser of the Cen tral team Inquired of Prof. Matthews of Western if Howard was eligible to play and was informed that the boy was all right, showing a list O. K.'d by Principal Westcott. This conversation took place beforo the gamo, and was the only pro test by Central until later Information reached the school from Hecox. Principal Wilson, of Central, when In terviewed, had the following to say in regard to the matter: "I know we will be called quitters and other hard names, but I believe Western has violated our athletic association rules, and that young Howard was not eligible to play In any of tho high school games. What Is tho fuse of having rules If they are not lived up to? Principal Small, of Eastern, said he had only heard Central's sldo of the case, and did not care to express an opinion. Ho added that he thought Cen tral should hae formally protested the boy beforo the game. Athletic Adviser Crandall, of Business, stated that. In his mind. Western was at fault, and for tho good of high school athletics all the games in which Howard played should be thrown out. Crandall did not know how Principal Davis would vote In the matter, but be lieved he would stand by Central. It is not known how Prof. Myers, of Tech nical, will vote, but as the evidence which Central will produce against the Western boy was furnshed by a member of his own faculty, it Is reasonable to suppose that Mr. Myers will vote the same way as Central and Business. Looks Bad for Western. On tho whole, it lools bad for West ern. The principals are sure to decide that Howard Is not a bona fide student, and then the faculty advisers will throw out Western's well-earned victories over Technical, Business, and Central, cost ing the Georgetown boys the champion ship. This protest by Central is causing no end of talk around town, and the out como of to-day's meeting will be looked for with considerable Interest. If Howard Is declared Ineligible and Western's victories are thrown out. Cen tral and Technical will play Wednesday for the championship, as both of these teams have beaten all the others, with the exception of Western. Athletic Adviser Robert Maurer, of Central High School, said to the writer last night: "In order to make Central's side of the controversy clear, I wish to stato that Central has never made any formal protest against Howard. We sim ply raised the questjpn as to whether Howard was regularly enrolled as a pupil at Western. Central's right to demand this was backed up by the athletic ad visers of Eastern, Business, and Tech nical. If the principals at their meeting decldo that Howard was regularly enroll ed, the matter will end; If not, we will know how to act." Mr. Maurer admits that but for a tip by Hecox. to the effect that Howard worked in a drug store when he was sup posed to be abseut from school on ac count of sickness. Central would not have demanded this Investigation. WILLIAM PEBT. VIEGLNIA LEAGUE. Norfolk, 11; Lynchburg, 2. Special to The Washington llercld. Lynchburg, Va.. May 22.
