NATIONALS FINALLY
AND BA7TJNGEYES
Pound Pennock and Bressleri
and Defeat Philadelphia
Athletics by 11 to 2.
BY J. ED GRILLO.
PHILADELPHIA. May 7.?There was
so much difference in the hatting of
the Nationals in the game yesterday
compared to the two in Boston ?hat it
was not easily realized that the teams
were one and the same. Though Con
nie Mack had it figured that Pennock,
a left-hander, was Just the man to
continue the Nationals' losing spell,
he made a serious mistake, for before
Pennock got out of two innings the
Griffmen had scored seven runs by hit
ting?not ordinary drives, but long
blows, including a double, a triple and
a home run.
Still not satisfied that his hope was
wrong, he put in another left-hander
to stem the tide?Bressler?and he suf
fered almost as much as did Pennock.
The Nationals brought their total up
to eleven with a four-run rally in the
third After that the visitors seemed
tired and, while they continued to hit
Bressler freely, did not score another
run.
Gallia in Good Form.
Gallia, as usual, was In good form
and was not scored on during the five
innings he pitched, th* four hits off
his delivery being scattered. He did.
however, break one record?that of
giving two passes, the first time that
he has offended in that way this season.
Moeller opened the game with a triple
and Milan drew a pass. Foster then
scored Moeller with a double down
the right field foul line, and after
Gandil had struck out Morgan drove
out a long sacrifice fly, which allowed
Milan to score.
Tn the second the slaughter was even
greater. Henry opened the inning by
hitting Into the center-field bleachers
for a home run. The ball traveled on
a line and bounded into the stands.
McBride got a life when Barry fum
bled, and after Gallia hart struck out
Moeller walked and Milan singled,
scoring McBride. Milan stole and
Moeller ran home on Schang's wild
throw, which let Milan go to third.
Foster walked, and stole, and, after
Gandil had fanned for a second time.
Morgan hit to center for a base, driv
ing in Milan and Foster and bringing
the total runs ,to five for the inning.
Bressler Begins Pitching.
In th*? third Bressler started to pitch.
McBride greeted him with a hit and
went to second when Mclnnis retired
Gallia. Moeller. Milan and Foster fol
lowed with singles, which, together
with a force-out and two passes, net
ted four more runs.
Gallia was in trouble in the first,
when Murphy hit. and after two were
out he walked Schang, but retired
Lajoie, who forced Murphy at third.
With one down in the second, Barry
and Kopf singled, but Gallia fanned
Pennock and Murphy flied to Milan
In the third Strunk uas walked with
one down, only to be forced by Lapp,
who took Schang's place. Lajoie got
a scratch double, but Mclnnis was out
on lils grounder to Gandil. !
The first inn came in the sixth, when!
Harper was pitching. With otic out. j
Lajoie singled, and in an effort to I
catch him off firs' Harper made a wild <
throw which sent Larr; to third, lie
scored when Mclnnis hit a long tiv j
to Milan. In the final round the last
run came: Walsh, batting for Bressler,
was walked; Murphy got a scratch
hit after Walsh had been allowed to
steal second and third, and the last
mentioned scored. The score:

FRANK BAKER HAD CONTRACT
WITH ATHLETICS FOR $20,000
Was Signed for Three Years at That Figure,
Yet Refused to Carry Out His Part of
the Agreement?Other Gossip.
j BY J. ED GRILLO.
PHILADELPHIA. May 7.?The facts
of the Frank Baker case have finally1
come to light, and they make the en
tire affair of the slugger's refusal to
report to Mack appear quite different
i from what has been generally sup
| posed. To begin with, there is no truth
j in the story that Baker signed a three-!
I year contract calling for $4,500 per
| season. The fact of the matter is that;
I last summer Baker and several other;
I members of the Mack team insisted on
having their salaries increased. Mack
i had been having- trouble getting Baker |
[to sign in former years, it always hav- j
ling been necessary to make a trip to I
I the player's home at Trappe to get him
under contract.
| Mack decided, and so fold Baker, to
i sign him for a three-year period. Baker
was told to name his own figure, and
he named $20,000 for three years, at
I which rate of salary he was paid dur
| ing the closing months of last season
j and \vould have been for the next two
J years had he reported.
Baker's treatment was along much
more liberal lines than any one sup
posed, and now it is hard to understand
why he has not availed himself of the
opportunity to earn this money.
These disclosures put Connie Mack
in an entirely different, position with
the base ball public, for it was be
lieved that it was his refusal to pay
Baker as big a salary as other players
of his prominence draw, which caused
the split, but this is absolutely not the
case, and the figure above quoted is
'contained in the signed contract, which
) is in the vault of the Philadelphia ball
jclub.
j Just as was expected the Nationals
: broke loose with their bats yesterday and
? looked more like a great slugging aggre
! gation than ever before. Pen nock and
Bressler. two of Mack's coming left
| handed stars, suffered severely from the
! drubbing the visitors inflicted and had
i any on" of th#? man> hits made yester
{ day been distributed in the l ight spot in
! the two shut-outs ; he Nationals suf
[ fered in Boston, the Griffmen's re< ord at
| this writing would be clean of defeats.
' But now that the team seems to have
found its batting stride, better things
may be looked for. for the pitching and
fielding continue of the highest, order and
is sure to win ball games if there is just
an ordinary amount of batting.
For the first time this season, Bert Gal
l lia issued a pass yesterday; in fact, he is
i sued two of them in the five innings he
| worked, one to Schang in the first and
| another to Strunk in the third. But.
; Ga'lia was very effective and was not
j scored on in the five innings he pitched,
j Having the game well in hand in the
| first two innings. Griffith allowed him to
i go five and then substituted Harper, who
I struck out fix e and allowed four hits in
j the period he officiated.
| Though Harry Harper had pitched for
I fully fifteen or twenty minutes in batting
i practice before the game, he made a very
i creditable showing: in the four innings he
faced the Athletics, during which time
he was hit safely four times, but three
of these were of the infield variety. He
only gave two passes and seemed .to have
a lot of stuff.
Dan Moeller's three-base drive hit the
fence of the center field bleachers on the
first bound and if it had struck the
j ground a little further back it would
I surely have hounded into the seats and
given Dan a home run. Henry's drive in
the second was a iiner of terrific speed
which took the first bound into the seats
and allowed him to jog around the
bases.
j Gandil and Rondeau hit the ball hard.
) but did not break into thf? base hit
i column. That is a peculiar thing about
GancUI- Whenever bis team happens,
j to be in one of its unusual batting j
moods, Gandil usually does riot break
into the base hit column. He hit the:
! ball bard several times yesterday, but
he could not get it safe.
There is not a chance for the Na
tionals to pick up much money during
their stay here. There were scarcely
2,200 fans in the inclosure yesterday,
and it is a good guess that there will
be less today, though the weather has
i been ideal. The fans here are not tak
j ing kindly to the retrenchment system
I which Mack has employed, and some of
! the older players are being: jeered and
j hooted for every little mistake thev
| make. Ft is not a pleasant condition
I for the Mack players, and they are
j showing it in their work They are not j
: hustling as they formerly did because ?
I there is no incentive for so doing.
j Tt is likely that Shaw key will pitch |
j for the Mackinen today, while Griffith !
i will very likely use either tengel or j
I Shaw, with the chances favoring the j
j latter.
i The Nationals will leave her** Satur- (
| day evening at 7:50 o'clock. They will 1
! spend an hour at Buffalo, and arrive ;
j at Detroit about 1 o'clock for the game ;
j scheduled there for Sunday. Monday 1
will be an ofT day, to be spent in Chi- J
! cago, most likely.
Griffith made several changes in his ?
j line-up after he got the eleven-run i
? lead. He first sent Gallia to the show-'
! ers, and then substituted NeiT for Mr- !
| Bride, while Shanks took Foster's place
j at third. But Howard had no chances ?
: offered, and the game was over before ;
' he had a chance to swing a bat. Wil- '
1 Hams also broke into the game with
j Harper, but the Nationals' slugger was
j called out on strikes.
! With Johnson, Boehlinc, Shaw and
| Gallia pitching gilt-edge ball, there is j
j no good reason why the Nationals j
'should not win a majority of the re-;
| maining games on this trip, on which
j eighteen are yet to be played.
The team's defensive strength is
, greater than ever before in its his
I tory, for the reason that Gandil and
? Morgan are both playing better ball
: than they did last season, while, of
JjCourse. Foster and McBride are show?
i ing their usual brilliant form. The out
field, too, is doing good work, while
the catching has been better than that
of any team which has opposed the
Oriffmen. True, the team has not been
hitting until yesterday, but it is a safe
prediction that it will show to better
advantage in this respect henceforth, j
Wally Schang is no longer considered !
here as being among the great catch
ers of the league. In fact, Schang.
aside from being acknowledged a good,
hitter and a fast man on the bases. '
is not doing satisfactory work behind :
the bat or in his throwing, and with j
.lack Lapp also on the lown grade!
Connie Mack is worrying over his
backstoppers in addition to his many j
other troubles.
BUYING FULL SET OF CLUBS
IN SPRING IS BAD PROCEDURE
Golf Players Held to Lack the Feel Early
in Year and Would Do Better
With Old Clubs.
It is just about now that the business
man and the professional student begin
j to think about the clubs they will use
I the coming summer, writes John An
derson in the New York Sun. It has
become a habit, and a bad one at that,
to buy all one's new clubs in the1
springtime. ! suppose that it is be- i
cause there is actual need in the case;
of some, but the majority put in a sup
ply because they are attracted by the
new design. Great disadvantages come
with a too hasty selection of golf clubs.
Mire's clubs are to be personal friends i
and the better a set one can get the!
more he will like the game and the
j better he will pla> it.
!v I am inclined to doubt, very much if
there is a golfer in the country who is
perfectly satisfied with his entire set
of clubs. Personally I know that I
have been looking for a pair of wooden
clubs and a iriidiron for over five years'
and cannot seem to find just the thing.
I mentioned this to a well known pro
fessional the other day and he told me j
that he grabbed hold of every midiron
he saw, for he was in the self-same j
plight. There is something uncanny
in the selection of a set of clubs, ana
he who can get eight or nine clubs,
none of which he would swap for an
other, is a rare man. Even the great
professionals play with clubs which
they acknowledge in some instances
' not to be just what they want. J. H.
I Taylor once had a cleek stolen, so he
told me, and for three years lie felt at
a loss in regard to strokes calling for
'that club. In the case _of golf clubs |
.'familiarity does not breed contempt,,
hut rathe?- Hie longer the service 111** .
! more invaluable do they become. Hut '
this happens with only a few clubs.
Others never seem to be quite perfect.
This is especially true in the case of
putters; more putters are bought than
all the other clubs put together.
Now why should we avoid heavy pur
chases of clubs in the spring? In the J
spring: we have lost all sense of golfing
touch and we have not got the "feel"
of which we were so proud the preced
ing autumn. And in addition our swing l
is not the same, we don't balance the \
club in the same way. True it is that)
we may be only a trifle out of the way, I
tint that is what makes us get a club'
which is just that much "off" and later!
brings lack of confidence into our!
;;ame. 1
The putter, although it seems at first J
sight that that is the simplest of them
all, seems to me to be the hardest to'
select, for with that club the balance I
must be in harmony with the player's |
touch. It Is impossible to make two)
clubs exactly alike and no two people
are exactly alike. In this respect there
is cause for rejoicing, for otherwise
clubs would be made of a certain same
ness which would cause more trouble
than the present output.
The mashie is another hard club to
decide on. and particularly in the
spring. Then the new-fangled ideas
have full sway and with a "never
moves after the bal! strikes" club the
player goes out to the links, and, sure
enough, on his first two or three trials
etui perhaps the firsr two or three
weeks the club is all that was claimed
?or it and his approaches fall dead. But
has it not occurred to many of you that
this is due to the softness of the
ground more than to anything else?
Right here I might say that I believe
it is a poor practice to have the pro
fessional make the final decision as to
| which club should be bought. The wise j
act is to ask the professional or tin
man in charge of the sales department '
of golf goods, provided you have con-'
fidence in his judgment, to select a
large number of clubs which he deems :
to be highly desirable. Then after he i
has made his selection it is the player's!
duty and privilege to feci them out and j
see for himself what suits his fancy.
One very important feature wh ? h \
should he made possible wherever clubs!
are sold is to have a place where the;
.player can swing without feeling!
, cramped in so doint: The additional:
i privilege of being able to hit a ball or !
| two is of course highly desirable, but ,
I of course this is not always possible.
: But there is more likelihood of the club :
i being well selected if such is the case ?
! Then the advice of the professional ma\
: well be sought again, for- he can tell j
I <iuite easily by the mere glance at the
; swing if the club is too heavy, light or ;
, if it appears to be under control.
In this connection 1 remember buying
a club last fall from George Low at
1 Baltusrol. 1 felt of several in the store
j and said to him: "This one feels pretty
fine, George. I guess I'll take it."
"Bide a wee," said George. "Awa'
oot on the course and hae a crack.
Te ll never tell by wigwagging in this
shop."
It was true, too, and as a matter of
fact 1 decided on another clulx
The mid iron, brassie and driver can
be selected, perhaps, with a greater
degree of accuracy than the other clubs
1f there is a. place where the golfer can
get a swing and hit the hall.
The choice of clubs, mark you well, ;
means sometimes that you start your- j
self with five or six strokes higher
handicap than you need or wish. \n<li
finally a word to the beginner who has
not the feci nor knowledge in the se
lection of clubs: be content with a:
brassie, a midiron, a masliie and a put- j
ter, and then get the other clubs when ?
you have finger tips trained to t lie
golfing touch.
SCHMIDT MEETS McLAUGHLIN.
Will Clash in Finals of Amateur Golf
Handicap Tourney.
OAKLAND. Cal., May 7.?Heinrich
Schmidt of the Clarcmont Club of this ?
city and M. A. McLaughlin of. Los An
geles won their matcl.es in the semi
finals of the Panama - Pacific exposition,

terday. They will meet today in final;
play.
Schmidt won from Wagner Sherwood. !
r> and 4. McLaughlin defeated H. K.
Sanderson of San Francisco, who start
ed with a handicap of two.
A game in Pittsburgh between the
Heds and Pirates was called at the end
of the eighth inning, with the score a
tie. Tt was called at 5 o'clock "by I
agreement." so the teams could catch a j
train. Wonder if the agreement was
with the fans who had paid their hall
dollars and six bits in the expectation j
of seeing the game go to a finish'.'
A Boston paper deplores the practice,
of a coacher yelling at an opposing I
player who is going for a foul ball .
the name of a teammate so as
to cause confusion, possible injury and
the loss of the foul. Right enough, but
a much worse practice ethically is the
so-called "riding" of players Of one
team by players of another.
