April 7.?That flRhtlng Yannigan tribe from the Grif fith clan came clean today at Warren Park with th* sweet revenge act. by handing the Regs the worst drubbing in the history of Nationale* training here. With Walter Johnson, the pre mier hurling demon of the Nationals' staff, Kddie Hovlik working on the slab for the Yannigans, the Regulars were forced to take nine fat zeros while the "Kids" were lacing the .-Ian!; of Thompson and Harper for ten counters. Johnson was the same speed mer chant of old. as he breexed them through the groove on his teammates in mid-season form which confirmed the ancient statement by Tyrus Ray mond Cobb that: "You can't hit what you can't see." "Barney" set the Regulars down without a hit or run and only one man got as far as, third base during his stay In the center of the diamond, this coming in the fourth (nning when C- Milan was passed and worked to the hot corner on an infield out and paised ball. Hovlik. who took up the burden where the smoke ball king left off. hurled airtight ball as three bingles was the veterans allotment oft his overhand twisters. The Vanna took kindly to the south paw twirling of both Thompson and Harper, while Flaherty, who worked one frame, got away in good style. The wildness of the little Toronto southpaw, coupled with misplays by his team mates, made him the mark for eight of the scores rung up by the Yanns in the first two sessions, while Harper waa given a lacing in the lucky frame that he will re member for some time. Brilliant fielding featured the con test, aa Sammy Rice made one of the greatest catches off of the bat of Horace Milan that has ever been wit nessed at Warren Field. Sammy raced with his back to the ball to deep risht center and pulled down Milan's slam whi.-h was la bled for two or more sacks, with a one-hand stab just be fore the ball hit the fence. Sammy was shaken up a little by his drive into the garden, but continued to play. Ike Davis was all over the Infield, as ht- halted a rally of the Yannigans in the third inning with a great ?top which he turned into a double, and again in the sixth he pulled down a scorcher that waa passing the key stone sack, which stopped another counter. Joe l*?eonard also broke into the limelight with his fielding stunts as he saved a hingle off the bat of Gharrity In the second by pulling down a stinging line drive by a glove hand stab. Lefty Thompson sot away had by passing Leonard and booting Ellerbe's attempt to sacrifice, as H. Milan scratched a hit to Tommy, fill ing the bases. "Barney" struck out. but Tommy presented the Yanns with their first tally by granting McBride free transportation. Sammy Agnew then doubled to left scoring KUerbe and H. Milan, while McBride raced across the pan when Picinich siingled to left. Craft started the second frame with a blow to left. Leonard hit to right .but Kllerbe forced Craft at third on his attempt to move the runners along. H. Milan whifffd the wind, but Johnson placed the two runners across the pan with a smashing double to the rightfleld fence. McBride followed with a two-base whack that counted "Barney." Craft hit with two down in the third, but no damage resulted, while Altrock singled off Flaherty's of ferings under the same circum stances in the fifth. The Yanns stag ed a nightmare at the expense of Harper, in the seventh, when Hovlik opened the frame with a two-base knock. McBride, Agnew and Pici nich folowed with clean-cut bingles that counted the final two runs gathered by the Yanns. The Regs only threatened to score on one oc casion, this coming in the sixth frame after two were out, when Foster and C. Milan both singled, but Sammy Rice was not equal to the task as Hovlik forced him to hoist out to McBride. The score: Regular?, AB R ? ? A M Jiidse, It?. 3 ? 0 10 0 ?

Coach Battersby, of Eastern, had fifty track candidate? and twenty-five baseball boys out for prac tice yesterday. The Easterns are au* thorizing tennis in full this season. They hope to show class in the com ing scholastic tenni? series. The Central spring tenni? tourna ment will get under way sometime this week.

Business High will engage the St. John's nine in a baseball contest on the Monument lot diamond today Kot h teams are In form which will undoubtedly result in a battle royal contest. On April 12 Business High baseball team will travel to Harrisburg to en gage the Harrisburg nine. This con test is expected to be one of Stenos phers' best scheduled baseball gajnes. Central High is slated to engage the Marvin.hI State Freshman in a base ball contest on the latter's diamond today. The Central lads triumphed over the Staters in their last encoun ter Baltimore Poly will travel here to engage the Central nine in a baseball contest April 11. The Princeton A. C. baseball nine will battle the Western High nine on the latter's diamond today. Morris Wassermann will twirl for Princeton. Central High will not engage the Georgetown Prep nine tomorrow. The contest has been postponed until sometime next week. Kastern High is scheduled to engage the St. Alban's baseball nine Friday. Both te?m.s are well balanced which indicates a battle royal. The Western High Freshmen are coming into form on the baseball field. The youngsters are arranging game?? at a fast clip and already have two wins to their credit. Penrose Russell is doing exception r.lly well on the Central baseball team. He is doing the backstopping for Cen tral, and with Russell and Sch?fer as a combination they can't be beat. PITTSBURGH MAY BE DARK HORSE AT PENN Philadelphia, April 7.?The University of Pittsburgh surprised every one last year by taking second place in the intercollegi&tes, while earlier in the season at the Pennsylvania relay car nival they provided the sensation by winning three j-acee, two of which, | the sprint medley and the one mile, . were American championships. This ! year*s team is stronger than last1 ' year's and will be watched with the f keenest interest on Franklin Field ? April 20 and 26. Last year Pittsburgh started on Fri- j j day in the sprint medley relay cham ; pionehip, which the Panthers won aft | er a hard race from Pennsylvania. j This year they have a stronger team I in Brickley and Peters for the two j furlong relays; Shea for the quarter ' and Albright for the half. Albright j was third in the half-mile champion I ship last year and can run his half . in one minute and fifty-seven eec ? onds. j It Is rumored that Pittsburgh will j puobably use Eckhardt for the quarter ' and put Shea In for the half. There is | no doubt that Shea can run a fast half. Eckhardt can do close to fifty j seconds for the quarter, so Coach Kerr j feels that the team wilt keep near the ; front for the first three relaye and , that Shea can come through in the I half mile distance and win out. CUBAN PLAYERS ON ROSTER OF HOLD-OUTS Havana. April 7. ? Mike Gonzalo-, catcher for the St. Louis National League baseball club, for the .second time has returned unsigned the 1919 contract offered him.

FOXY GRIFFITH MAKING SHIFTS What Infield Combination To Start Sea-son with Puzzles Manager. North Augusta. S. C, April 7.? Just what combination will etart the season as the inHeld for the Na tionals is becominK more of a puz zle each day. as the Foxy Pilot le trying? different playera at the key stone stack, only to fail back on Ike Davis as short, and Hank Shanks at .second, when the Regulars pitch in to battle the Tanna. This appears to be the likely com bination which will open the season. as the Old Fox admits that so farf they look the beet, but with Jan vrin not yet started, the puzzle deepens. Both Leonard and Frank Kllerbe are being- worked at the second cushion in each of the prac tice drills, while Captain Georg* McBride is coming in for quite a little of the grind at the short field. Mac. like the prince of good fallows which he is known, to all hft? ac quaintances in the league, work? daily instructing the little Pacific Coast gob in the finer points of the game and should Davey fall down it will be no fault of the veteran champion. Joe Lavatavi is* the player who le now coming to the front with a bid for a regular infield berth, as the Chicago youngster is going at a great stride and is making the Foxy Lead er's problem more puzzling every day. Frank Kllerbe, who is due for a Bing hamton International League berth. providing the Old Fox sees fit to cut him loose, has eudenly come forth with promise of grabbing off a slice of that infield pie. Kllerbe, who hae a style like that of "Frank Baker's." has proven that he can sure bust that old pill, and ..,-? Griff Just won't let hitters pass beyond his Foxy eyes, It would not be surprising if Frank is carried along for some time, pro vidintg. of course, that he keeps going at his resent speed. Big Ed Flaherty is another one of the candidates who is coming In for some consideration after having been booked for a trip back to the minors. Flaherty's work of late has greatly impressed the National's leader and the District may yet see a "native son" doing the heaving honors for the/ club. Frank Schult", wt?o II piloting the Ringhamton club. !s seeking outfield i ers and should Griff cut any of his gardener? loose, Frank will no doubt get the cream of this talent. Horace Milan has shown enough to warrant a thorough tryout. as "Hose" is weak on curve-ball pitching, and as Griff does not believe that two brother?? can star on the same major league club, it appears that '*Hoss*' will he the first to come in for the minor league ral.ifoad.ng. Joe .Shannon has not set the league on fire, but his consistent form marks him both a dangerous swatter and a heady player. With Menoekey re turning at almost any hour and hopes still running high of obtaining the services of Davey Robertson, some of the present array of outfield tal ent must go, as Griff would still have Shanks and Thompson to fall back on when pinched for outfielders. I The problem of this infield and out-, field combination deepens more and ? more at each of the practice grinds. I but It is safe to say that the opening ? line-up will not be changed much from the present batting order of ? ? the regulars. The exhibition game scheduled for I j totnorow at Greenwood, S.

April 7.?In an epoch of tottering thronea. Babe Ruth, all around monarch of the diamond, would better be looking after the prop? of hi? empire. For?we have the word of Preaident Branch Rickey of th? Cardinals for ihis in St. Ixiuie there is one player who can depose the Boston marvel and himself assume the title of "moat vereatile player In the game" with juat a little encourage ment. This player. Rickey avers, can outhit. outpitch. outrun and out think Ruth: he can fill more posi tions than Babe and play any or all of them better. He haa more aggressiveness, more daring, more everything. In short, save salary and reputation. This player la not a member of Rickey's ?quad. Just to prove that hia opinion ia not mere clever preaa agentry. The only reason tbia player has not utterly eclipsed Ruth in fame, pop ularity and salary is that he is a victim of poor exploitation and too great personal modesty. Slsler?yes. that's the fellow Rickey ha? in mind. Sisler. a ?oft spoken fighter, a velvet pawed tiger when rouaed. a player whose powere of concentration, according to Rickey, enable him to fill not acceptably but in a masterly etyle any position assigned to him. In an interview Rickey explained his optimism regarding Sisler's fu ture. Rickey has the ri?ht to dis cuss Sisler because he discovered him as a college ?tar at Michigan University. Jockeyed him out of the possession of Barney Dreyfuss in to the hands of the St. Lout?. Browns and then gave him hia first big league instruction. Y. H. B. A. Land Gime.
