J ? h I SPORTING COMMENT. } J 4 * BY J. ED GRILLO. a Kid Elberfeld has the reputation of , " being out" of the same with injuries s more than $ny other player, and it is f no wonder that such is the case, for r where is there a player who takes more i, chances? When at the bat Elberfeld t; never tries to avoid a pitched ball, no n matter where it may hit him, and when tl covering a base, unlike most players. a who try to avoid the spikes of a base- y runner. Elberfeld stands still, if by so y doing he has an advantage. tl Elberfeld is no longer a youngster. He b is thirty-three years old, and has been a in the game for some years, and yet tl there is not a more Interested or hard- b working player in the businese. There is no chance too hazardous for Elberfeld s to tackle, and this explains why he is h often out of the game with injuries. But r while the team is handicapped with El- b berfeld out of the line-up, and it might o be better if Elberfeld was more con- e servative and not so willing to take ^ chances, yet it is his nature, and he would be absolutely worthless if he was placed under any ban. g c Cy Toung is using the spitball. Every a now and then when he finds himself in tl a tight pinch the veteran resorted to the h moistened delivery. It is but recently, e however, that Toung has acquired the tl spitball. Heretofore it was always said a of him that he was one of the old- p fashioned pitchers who did not resort p to the use of the spltter or any of the a new imigieu raetnocs 01 aeceiving me p batter. But Cy has come to the spitter. He finds that it is a most effective ball at certain stages, and he does not think c it will injure his arm. Perhaps he does t! not care whether it does or not, for he s has been in the game so long that it p matters -but little to him when the fin- h ieh comes. _ I Too much consideration cannot be h shown the young ball player who joins b a major league team for a try out. If p the team is to develop young players it u must have the co-operation of the spectators, for it is much easier to drive a player h out of the game than to develop him u into a useful acquisition. b The manager who starts out to de- n velop a ball team, for whfch purpose he c must necessarily try out a lot of young p and inexperienced players, always has the k spectators to take Into consideration. If p the fans will work with him and en- w courage the recruit the work is com- c paratlvely easy, but if criticism is to be ft hurled at the young players whenever n they blunder there is little or no chance i to develop them unless it should hap- c pen that they made good right from the h outset, which is not often. a It must be said to the credit of Wash- b ington patrons of the game that they are h most considerate toward the members of f mo locai team, wnenever a pLayer is n criticised by the crowds here it is be.- h cause he deserves it, and there is never y a lack of disposition toenccmrage a new- h comer. It is therefore fair to suppose that McAleer will not be interfered with t or handlcappedi in his efforts to build up tl a winning team by securing young play- n ers to take the places of some of the veterans. e Just as soon a? Hans Wagner began tl to show his old form the Pirates began to n win, and right now there is a good b chance of Pittsburg finishing at the top si of the National I/eague heap, for the a team is coming with a rush. tl True. Manager Clarke's pitchers are not G vet showing high-class form, but they si are Improving and there is hope that a? ti the Eeeson advances they will be at their a best, in which event the Pirates are si pretty sure to pass the Cubs in -the race, i h That the Pirates were -weak during the h time that Wagner seemed unable to ex- a tricate himself from the throes of a slump showw that this one . ball player means everything to the Pitteburg team, f He is its greatest strength, and when- I ever he slumps his toam does not win a manv games. ^ ?1 8 Philadelphia writers take the announced F p-.rrctaae price of $12,000 for Pitcher c Russell of Baltimore as serious, and praise-Connie Mack . for his enterprise. No. there has never been any occasion for criticising Mark's push. There has always beep plenty of It. though it is delivered with little ostentation. Mack Is a great base ball man, perhaps the greatest In some respects, and what is more there is combined with his knowledge of the game a great mind for businew5. Incidentally Mr. Mack realizes the advantage of having a winning team, and he does not overlook a chance to pkk up good ball players, and has successfully developed many who were not good when he got them. We concede all that and more, but when Connie Mack pays $12,000 In real money for a ball player. Joe Cantlllon will be lecturing at Vassr College. Though the Athletlccs have a strong lead in the race they are far from having the flag cinched. Much depends on what sort of a showing the team will make or its next western trip Its first trip in that territory was far from successful. Just now Boston hr looming up strong. The dual victory yesterday gave the Speed Boys a pretty fair hold on second piace. and while they are not crowding Mack s tern, vet a slump by the Athletics and a continuation of winning ball by Boston would change the situation materially in a very short time. But it certainly doea eeem as if Detroit was out of the running ao far ae the pennant is concerned. Krneger Sold to Boston Doves. CLEVELAND. July 30,-Outflelder Arthur Krueger of the Cleveland baae ball team yesterday wa? sold to the Boston National I.eague club for a price not named. He will Join the Boeton team at Plttaburg. Krueger came from Columbus. wbere he was leading batamah of the American Association, but batted poorly here, I e Jniformto McALEER GIVES I TO DIRECT TE/ Nationals Only a Few Place?Groom Still I of Watching Ba BY J. ED GRILLO. ! < Jim McAieer h?n Riven up coaching , rom the lines. He no longer dons h unl- ? orm. but directs his team from the ' >enoh, a fact which has caused con- t ilder&ble comment among the patrons of | he game here. i There is perhaps no doubt that McAieer :an l>e of Just as much benefit to h.s earn on the bench as on the coaching j ines, hut the fans here have alwa>s l aken kindly to the manager who got 4 ?ut and hustled on the lines. They have , lever displayed a liking for the leader >ut of uniform. Cantillon was on the lnee most of last season, but gave up his ^ inlform late In the campaign and carne , n for much criticism as a result. { fi McAieer did not get on the lines during i 1 he series In Detroit and It Is understoou j j. hat hehas about decided to turn the i j caching over to some of his players, t chile he does the directing from the 1 ' >ench. | a Sixth place is hut an inch away and ! iven tiftn place is not out of the ques- ! I ion if the locals can make one of their | c purts. A victory over Cleveland this ifternoon and a defeat for Chicago at *hiladelphla would pla?e the Nationals j ip one notch and Incidentally bring them e loser to Cleveland. t The Cleveland, players, however, are I ilso ambitious. They want to beat i->e- t rolt out. It is the one thing left for the t Caps which would make them popular at t lonie. for there is the greatest rivalry beween the fans of the two cities. Mangar McGuire believes that his team will ^ e able to turn the trick, and from this t >ut it is to be a hustle after the Tigers. ^ v One would naturaly suppose that when } pitcher found that he had a habit which g ras handicapping his earning capacity as r ball player, that he would take some i? teps to rid himself of It. Bob Groom's t ailing Is his insistent watching of base unners while in the act of delivering the c all, with the result that he loses con- c rol and usually his games. It matters a ot whether the bases are full or some of p he slowest runners are on them, Groom Iways looks toward the runner and then ralks a few hatters. So much has heen .? rritten about his failing in this respect g hat improvement might be looked for, f, ut Tuesday Bob was worse than ever, n nd his giving of three bases on balls in h he eleventh was the direct result of this c ad habit. h Not until Groom realises that he is s tending in his own light by reason of is giving too much attention to the base unners will he be a pitcher who can e relied upon, and he should devote some o f his time in trying to correct this fault, G ven if he had to insist that Manager IcAleer fine him whenever he did it. ,, li Cy Young was elated that he won his q ame yesterday, his 500th victory of his areer. Not because he had accomplished great feat, but because he had grown Ired or hearing nothing else every time J* e pitched. Attention has been called ^ very time Young was carded to pitch l, hat he would try to win his 500th game, E nd Cy has been losing. He figured that B t was a hoodoo to continually talk about J/ t. and when he won his game yesterday J, nd ended the matter he was much h leased. K Kid Elberfeld has been criticised beause he held Lelivelt on third base in TJ he ninth when Conroy singled to right, a coring Milan with the tying run. .elivelt was on second when the ball was it. was a sharp liner which came to p *ord on the first bound. The ball was t< n the wav to the niate before Tj>livp!t It ad reached third, and It would have Jj een suicide to send him there. Elberfeld > roperly stopped him. and by so doing alifled as a good coacher. ai Considering the fact that John Henry as just broken into fast company and p to that time had never played first j n ase before, he fills the position ad- i nirably. True he got tangled up with a * ouple of bunts in that ninth inning, but j " layers of years of experience have been, o nown to do the same thing. It is ex- | c ecting a whole lot from a mere boy i those only experience has been with a j ollege team to make star plays right}a rom the outset. Henry has all the ear- j b larks of making a good ball player. He g rill hit a whole lot better after he be-! ? omes used to his surroundings, too, for j45 e picks out good balls and stands up well t the plate. Just now he is handicapped ^ j- the fact that McAleer is trying to get I X2 im. to hit harder at the balls than he 1 ormerly cjid. Henry .had a habit ofi lerely poking at the balls, and McAleer 111 las him swinging hard, and he. is not'*1 et accustomed to this, and consequently C ie is not hitting as he will later. g If the club Is to develop young players he spectators have to be patient, for [irie surr iu ue suine raw pia>"S iade now and then. M _______ L For several years It has been consider- q id foolhardy to pitch a left-hander agmlnst' m le Cleveland team. It was considered K ext to impossible for a southpaw to H eat the Naps, and in fact it was con- '* Idered an effort to fatten their batting ^ verages to pitch one against them. *5ut ^ Imes seem to have changed, or Dolly q ?ray is a different sort than the other outhpaws. Gray had the Cleveland bat- tl ?rs completely at his mercy yesterday nd he deserved the shutout which he ecured. He was in his very best form, owever.- In fact. It Is doubtful If he as ever performed better since wearing Washington uniform. It was not a very good day for L>arry ~ jajoie. The leader of the American L yeague batters and public choicp for the e LUtomobile to be given the leading batter s lid not fatten his average yesterday. ^ letting but two hrts in nine trips to the ilate, and these bingles were none too :!ean cut. Though of course the home crowd wants p o see the home team win, yet it is pull- c ng for Lajoie to win the automobile. The >ublic generally recognizes him as the g xeatest straightaway hitter and would H tot be pleased to see him beaten out by U ?ebb or some other fast left hander who T nakes a lot of hits by reason of his speed. Do" Reisling deserved to win his game. 4e pitched splendidly, and with a break n the ninth should have walked in. it ras tough enough to have ttie Naps score wo runs on scratch hits In the ninth in- , ling, but it was hard luck not to have > von the game in the National's half, ti iVIth the score tied and second and third r( >ccupied. with but one out. it required mly a fly to the outfield to win the game md yet this was not to be had. P Young was wise enough to walk fJess- h er, filling the bases, and then was lucky ^ mough to have McBride pop one up. J t. vhieh made Killifers flv to left worth-; ess. Had McBride and Kllltfer gone out j *' >n reverse plays the Nationals would unloubtedly have won, for Killifer's fly was ' P ong enough to allow Leiivelt to s^ore a 'rom third base. " It was a great day for Claude Milan. IS [n the first game he made four hits and | n the aecond he scored his team s only j t; jrace of runs on two passes and got a j p lit. Milan seems to have changed his j rtyle of batting materially. He ia not g jrouching at all any more now, but I stands up straight and swings the bat ^ srith ilia arms. There isn't any doubt that Milan must be considered as one of < the great outfielders of the American i League. Cobb and Speaker may have It F an him a little, but few if any of the * others are in his class. ^ In every other city where American t League games were played yeeterday two v -lmplres officiated, while Perrlne was the i inly man on duty here.

Doc will have to j tet n buckskin loop put on his ham and ilip his arm through It. Groom will probably be pitched right <ack today. The game Is called at 4 ('clock. Red Killifer has Improved wonderfully n hln playing of second base. He is overlng a lot of ground, and seems to be . horoughlv familiar with the position. ! nclde.itally, Red la getting his share ot he hits. It is not going to be an easy natter to push Killifer out of that posiion. Pitcher Moyer. recently secured from Toungstown, took his first work-out with he Nationals yesterday. Mover, who las not been well, has been forced to rork two and three times a week for foungstown, and AlcAleer proposes to 'ItrA hl?n o nV*?? woa ? * J ' uiui a. y.iiouv.c tu gci several uaya 1 est before using him In a game. Moyer ? not a very big fellow, but he appears o have a lot of speed. If Cunningham, the New Bedford remit. recently purchased by Washington, an take Klllifer's Job away from him, he rill have to be something of a ball layer. There was nothing to the first game esterday when it became evident that [ray was in his best form. Harkness was orced to quit under fire in the sixth ining, and Palkenberg, who succeeded im, -was even less effective. Gray reelved brilliant support and was not hit ard at any stage.
