By "SENATOR."
Unless the Detroit Tiger1 baseball
strike Is ended by Tuesday Washington
may become the center of the dlsturb-
, ance, for the Tigers are due to open a
three-game series here that day with
the Nationals.
To a man the Nationals sympathize
with Ty Cobb In his troubles, but when
It comes to supporting the strike of the
entire Detroit club, the local players are
Inclined to think twice. They prefer
to await uctlon on the part of Ban B.
Johnson, head of the American League.
If the strike Is Btlll In forco when the
Tigers arrive here Tuesday, both clubs
are likely to drop a lot of money. The
Capital fans won't go to the park to see
v a misfit collection. Indeed, without Ty
Cobb In the line-up, tho Tigers would
JiOt draw their usual throngs.
Noyes Is Worrying.
President Thomas C. Noyes of the
Nationals arrived this morning from
Boston and expressed himself as some
what worried over the aspect of affairs.
He expects to be called to a meeting of
the American League magnates In an
effort to straighten tho affair, though he
has heard nothing yet from President
Johnson.
However, In any event, Washington
seems destined to be the center of the
baseball world this week. If tho strike
continues the disjointed aggregation
wearing the uniform of Detroit will
have to appear on the diamond at Flor
ida avenue and their antics will attract
the attention of every fan In the coun.
try.
The St. Louis players here are greatly
interested In the strike. They do not put
much stock In the players association
Idea, declining to believe In Its efficien
cy, but they sympathize with Cobb to a
man.
Tonight George Stovall Is expected to
return from Philadelphia with full de
tails of tho plans of the Tigers. He will
Inform his fellow Browns Just whatever
ho has learned and then they will act.
It 1b not expected that they will do
anything more than Issue an expression
of sympathy.
Flynn Goes Back.
Jack Plynn has been released to the
St. Paul club of the American associa
tion, with which team he was playing
when drafted by the Nationals latt
year. In the association Flynn Is a
clouter of the first water, hitting well
over .300, but in the big league his slow
ness of foot and his failure to keep up
his clouting average rendered himself
Impossible.
Flynn Is popular In the association,
mainly because of his hitting. He has
pleasing personality, making friends
, easily, and, were he up to major league
standards, would bo a most welcome ad
dition to the Nationals.
The going of Flynn reduces the scrap
for first baso to Jack Knight and Her
man Schacfer. The Dutchman la now
holding down the corner in excellent
Style, and many fans believe he will,
stay there. His one weakness Is a low
thrown ball, and he is working hard to
remedy that.
Chase Recovers?
According to dispatches from New
iTork, Hal Chase, the stellar first base
man of the New York Highlanders, has
recovered sufficiently to take his place
In the ranks of tho Highlanders. Yes
terday he went to bat In a pinch, but
failed to connect. If Chase can regain
his old form the Highlanders will he
most formidable from now on. How
ever, it Is not believed that Chase will
be his old self.
Harry Krause. the sensation of tho
fall of 1910, has gone back to the minors,
being released by Connie Mack to To
ledo. In the American Association. This
southpaw twirler failed to keep up his
farm In 1911, and this year looked even
worse.
Bob Bescher, Cincinnati's crack out
fielder, Is ill, and his absence from the
team's line-up may prove costly to the
Reds. He Is suffering from malaria.
The dedication of the Reds' now park
was a complete success, Benton van
quishing the vaunted Mathewson. This
is as it should be, tho home, team should
always win these dedication games.

Tyrus Oobb Failed To
Keep Engagement With
Boston Newspaper Man
Ty Cobb is "in bad" with a news
paper man in Boston, and while
in the Hub recently bawled him
out over a telephone. An ap
pointment was made for the two
to meet in a downtown hotel,
where Cobb was to be given all
opportunity to complete hia casti
gation of the scribe. Tho sport
writer kept the engagement. Cobb
didn't. The "Georgia Peach" will
hereafter wonder why that par
ticular scribe will write a few
vivid, cutting remarks about him
whenever he appears in Boston.

JOE LAKE IS INVINCIBLE
WHEN BINGLES MEAN RUNS
Holds Griffith's Climbers
Down to Brace of
Tallies.
By "SENATOR."
Joe Lake did It. He did It with- his
little speedy spltter. The doings re
sulted In an 8-to-3 score for tho muffins
of the American League.
In many ways St. Louis deserved to
win yesterday's con: flic t. For nearly
two weeks the Browns have done their
best to win a game even one little,
lonesome game and for nearly two
weeks they have met with disappoint
ment. Throughout this present tour of
the orient they have been beaten, fre
quently when things looked . rosiest.
Yesterday they broke their long losing
streak. Hooray!
Anyway, tho Nationals didn't deserve
to win. When they can't corral more
than five disjointed, disconnected bln
gles, they shouldn't be considered for
a moment, i That's all they got off the
salivary slants of Joscphue Lake.
Hogan singled In the first session,
and scored on Laportc's hard smack
past Eddie Foster. In the fourth an
other Brownlo crossed the dish. Derrill
Pratt shot a triple past Dan Moeller,
scoring while Wallace was forcing Aus
tin at second.
Teams Lock Horns.
Then, for five minutes or so, the Na
tionals Joined horns with tho enemy
before falling back. Knight opened the
fifth with a walk, scoring easily when
George McBrldo slammed a triple along
the line In left field. Honry waB called
out on strikes, but Al Williams, hitting
tor Tom Hughes, gave Lake so much
to do with his hot bounder that McBrlde
tallied even though the big catcher per
ished at first. And after that the cur
tain fell, never to rise again.
Beginning the sixth. Sir Robert Groom
essayed to show the populace lust how
the thing should -be done. Instead, tho
Browns did a little showing on their
own account. Five runs burned the
plate for the visitors before the last
man perished. Get it, Steve?
Frank Laporte blazed a single to left
and Henry seized Pratt's little bounce
and made a futile try to get Laporte at
second. Both men were safe and B.
Groom was Immediately In a hole.
Austin laid down a teaser that Groom
couldn't get. filling tho corners. Every
thing was ready and so Bobby Wallaco
singled to left, scoring Laporte.
Jimmy Stephens showed a decidedly
peevish disposition when he followed
after with a long drive to left for three
cushions, sending In three runs ahead of
him. Wo have always treated Jimmy
all right hero In the Capital and It Is
strange that he should have acted so
unkindly. To rub It In even more he
scored himself when Bert Shotton
singled to left. And there was the game
right there.
Score Off Groom.
Oh, yes; come to think of It, the
Browns did get another tally off Sir
Robert Groom, but It was In the next
Inning and caused the disappearance of
h toothnlck twirler In .favor of Jerry
Aknm. tho "Dubunue Demon." Laporte
started It with a clean drive to left.
Pratt came up and biffed another triple,
this one going between Milan and
Cashlon. Akers closed the Inning In
fine style, fanning Austin and Stephens.
The fielding of Eddie Foster was bril
liant. He scooted over In front of Mc
Brlde twice, gobbled up bounders and
getting his man at the first corner by
a wink of the eye. His brains were
working In the fourth, too, when he
completely fooled Wallace at second.
ThA nrownle thought Foster had stop
ped Stephens' hot drive past the bag
and slowed up. Before he could hit the
dirt Foster had taken Moeller's light
ning peg and had the pill waiting for
the runner. This escaped many fan,

Sporting Gossip
"Every Knock Is a Boost."
I
One for iie Browns.
-
Undoubtedly ball players tho country
over are sympathizing with tho Detroit
Tigers, though few will come out flat
footedly and say so. Every player
has had to endure Insults from the fans,
and he knows Just about how Ty Cobb
felt when he climbed, into, the, bleacher,
and assaulted that man in. New York.
At the same time It majt be costly for
Cobb and his confreres.

Dixie Walker tomorrow?

Don't worry about a baseball war,
or ramer siriKc. 'mere ijDe one. iua
Tigers stand alone In their defiance to
tho head of the American League.
Perhaps If all the clubs joined with tho
Tigers, Ban Johnson might have lo
surrender. But, as matters now stand,
he has only the Tigers to punish.
War and rumors of wars.
The passing of Jack Flynn wa f6re
shadowed weeks ago. Unre'strluted and
misguided booming caused the fans to
expect great things of him. This waa
unfair to the player, who never waa a
slugger in the big league. In St. Paul,
though, he should return to his clout
ing standards. He set them In tho
American Association.
Joke game In Phliiy.
--
The White Sox are proving undoubted
caliber In Boston. It was thought that
they would crack under the strain, but
their methods of winning games al
ready aewed up by the other fellows
goes far to disprove this prediction.
From now on Jimmy Callahan and his
crew will bear watching.
Tigers are showing their claws.
The Nationals wilt leave home this
week, bound for every other town In
the league. They have played good ball
on the road so far this season, and
there Is every reason to believe they
will continue It. If they can break
even on this long trip to foreign shorea
they will be still In tho first division,
something unthought of until now.
Navy yields to C. U.
Nothing startling was developed
In
the performance of the college athletes
In the many dual meets yesterday. No
dark horses came to the fore with record
breaking performances. It remained fbr
Meredith, of Mercersburg, to make the
oxperts sit up and take notice. Tho
youth's record of 48 2-5 seconds for the
quarter Is likely to stand as an Inter
scholastic record for many years.
Now, we're tied at third.
Horlne showed his class In jumping 8
feet 7 inches yesterday In the Western
Olympic trials. The Stanford crack
proved that his mark of 6 feet 6H lnohes,
nVide three Weeks 'ago, was not' a flash
In the pan. To twice break a world's
record which has stood for many -years
is a performance well worth being
proud of.
t
Jimmy McAleer still growling.
' a
Hoffecker, of the M. A. C, further
proved his prowess yesterday as a
pitcher by shutting out Western Mary
land by 11 to 0 and allowing the -visitors
but one hit. He fanned eleven bat
ters, By his , exceptionally good work
this season he has put himself In a
class with "Chief" Greene, the Catho
lic University star who blanked the
Navy yesterday.
Back goes Jack Flynn.
Sam Felton's wlldness yesterday al
lowed Dartmouth to win from Harvard.
Felton lost his game to Georgetown In
about the same way. Dartmouth and
Georgetown look to be about on a par,
although Dartmouth has had the ad
vantage of getting Into shape later than
the Blue and Gray.

Sherman takes golf prize.

The Georgetown tenia team while de
feated twice thla week Is to be com
mended for Its plucklness In keeping at
the game. This Is tho first season that
the Blue and Gray has had represen
tation In tennis and while the team has
met defeat has been without the aerv
lces of Norrlo McLean. In a year or
two the Blue and Gray will be up with
the others In tennis as In other sports.
Matty Loses Another.
CINCINNATI, May 19. -r Christy
Mathewson lost his second game ,ln
three years to the Reds yesterday at
