"CHICK" GANDIL ARRIVES IN CAMP Steve White May Pitch Morning Game Against Boston Tomorrow. By "SENATOR." BOSTON, May 29.-Mlke Kahoe, the Nationals prize scout, contrary to ex pectations, was ordered to accompany the team here from New York last night and he will scout the New England col leges and the teams of the New Eng land League before returning to Wash ington. Dartmouth plays Tufts today, and it is believed that Kahoe will watch this game in the hopes of finding some young outfielder or pitcher. ditcher Morey of Dartmouth has been showing great form this spring and friends of Kahoe here have said many good things about this fellow. As a re sult Kahoe will try to see him In action. Morey Is a well set up youngster, who has made' his mark with the Dartmouth eleven as well as with the varsity base ball team. Shortly after the Nationals arrived at the Copley Square this morning a tall, rangy, loose jointed fellow, carrying a suit case and a heavy Jaw, showed up in the lobby and Clark Griffith gave him the glad hand, the sign of peace and promise. He had come all the way frorn Montreal and sports "Chick" Oandtl as his regular monaker. Yes. Mr. Gandil, the peerless first sacker of the Interna tional league, the goal of the ambitions , of a dozen big league scouts, Is now in ,the camp of the Nationals and Is down to perform around that first corner to- day. l ' Glad to Be Back. ' "I'm pretty happy at getting back Into the big league," said Gandil to the writer. "I was up once before, but didn't show enough to stay. I honestly believe I've learned a little more now about playing ball, and I certainly hope I'll stay this time. Of course, there's a blr difference between playing- in the International ; and the American Leagues. The pitch ing is better in the big Bhow and the fielding much faster. But I'm in good physical condition, and will work my head' oft for the "Washington club, if for v no other reason than to stay in the big , league. That's what we are all after, you know." " Another newcomer has joined the Na- 0 tlonals, too. Steve White, brother of 1 Dave White, Georgetown's baseball and football star, Is now a member of Griffith's olub on the strength of his showing yesterday lrsNew York against the Nationals' hitters. His curve ball is a beauty, and at first glance he looks . to be a better twlrler than either Becker or Akers, the men sent to Montreal. White, who weighs about 160 pounds. made his mound reputation at Prince ton University, and the Boston Ameri cans and the New York Nationals quarreled as to his ownership. He was awarded to the Red Sox, but failed to . hang on, owing to a sore arm. Laat j year he was sent to the Jersey City club and his weak arm caused that club to release him unconditionally. Regained Strength. This spring, White has regained his " old strength and has been pitching omi-pro ball around New York. Ha '"held the strong Cuban Giants to one bit f last . Sunday and this was' brought to the atteritlon of Griffith. Yesterday ho f reported at the ball park and did so well that he was signed Immediately. 1 He may pitch the morning game tomor- . . row. , "White has pitched a lot of ball," says ; Griffith, "and his steadiness maxes nun r vnliinhlo Hla curve Is a beautv and. . if he can get a little more speed. h . ought to do some pretty good work. I ' shall give him a full trial in the hopes r of his making good." Austin Howard, the Washington boy purchased from the Atlanta club, hasH been sold outrlgnt to buck rrceman s t Scranton club, of the New York State League, and has been so notified by Manager urirntn. Johnson Puts Check On Mighty Onrush Of the Highlanders i NEW YORK, May 29. Breezing along like a veritable ninety-foot cup de fender under full sail, laughing at the madcap billows and the varying head winds, Walter Johnson, king of the American League hurlers, showed those , ferocious Highlanders just where they lived, fend when the eddying currents had passed under the bridge, .the scorers marked 8 to 3 for the Nationals. How x ever, in this glorious stunt of taming the HUlmen, Johnson was aided gra tuitously and generously by several of his compeers, notably Clyde Milan, Howard Shanks, Eddie Foster, Georgo McBrlde. and Herman Schaefcr, all of whom assaulted the enhere on varied occasions and compelled the Hlllmen to travel far and wide across the green pastures after the merrily bounding pellet. But don't belittle the clouting ability of those Highlanders, far be It from that. They whaled the eternal daylights out of the ball, especially Bertie Daniels. R'ho Just wouldn't be good and should have teen soundly spanked and sent to bed without any supper. Once Bertie was caught napping, and Johnson shot over a third strike, but every other tlmo this outfield fiend walloped the ball on the seams and was largely to blame for the Highlanders scoring In the sev enth. ' Johnson Tames Zinn. Earl Gardner, subbing for George Simmons, another slugger, who Injured his back during the practice before the battle, spanked out three hits, every one of them going off the bat like young cannon shots. However, Walter Johnson settled tho hash of the lad whose hitting has made him the hero of New York inside of two weeks. "Zlng-Zlng" Zlnn, the recruit from the Tri-State League, failed to show his vaunted skill with the wil low Once he did manage to poke a pusillanimous tap toward Herman Echaefer for a death at first, but the other four times he showed at the pan he took three healthy swings as the SMAMK& 5ACRiFicet MiMseip Jwfl i 4 ' ' ' '..

Hank rushed hlB people away at top speed, whirling them madly along the road, and It's no fault of his that that "mldseason form" struck camp just as the Redland banner reached its crest The ex-ump has lost all interest In the top floor and is now centering his attention upon a fiat some where in the first division.

Just as Griff bad third place nailed down and the Old Fox was beginning to look ahead, the Yanks, in the seventh place, assaulted him from behind with a blackjack.

Our Idea would bo that the art of amassing more runs than the rival combination about Bizes up the winning sys tem, whatever the club or manager involved. Ty Cobb announces that by way of revenge the Tygers Intend to go forth and grab the American League flag. This Is important, iftrue.

Open with Boston today. - "Chick" Gandil is to play for the first time in a National uniform this after noon and his work will be watched with Interest. It is some time since Wash ington has had a chanco to welcome a high priced star. "Wld" Conroy sas the last player for whom blr money wa paid. New York getting J4.000 for tho third baseman. Milan featured at bat. The fact that Warhop and Qulnn were t pounded for 12 hits should bo a- source of some satisfaction to the team and followers. Even though the pitchers are not aolng any too well will make little difference if the wand wlelders. are able to smash the ball as they did yesterday. Reds Walker and Ainsmlth were tho only ones who failed to register. Easy pleklnjt for Johnson. "Dutch" Schaefer's playing yesterday " , cannot well be overlooked. Filling in 'at second, where he has not played for more than a year, the comedian grab bed everything In sight. Four out, three assists, a finger In a double play, and two hits out of four times at the bat, and a stolen base was a nifty little record at that. Tennis matches are good. Better results are hoped for in the series which opens today in Boston. The loss of four straight games to tho Highlanders was a bad start for such a long series, but the fact that the team !s to meet Boston, which has been going pretty well of late. Is more or less dis couraging. More than an even break must be gotten to make up for the New York series. ' Infield plays betttr. Not to be outdone by Ed Reulbach, "Three Fingered" Brown signalized his return to the pitching mound by a vic tory over the Reds. The Cubs won the game In the third Inning, but Brown held the Reds to six hits, and showed that he Is again fit. The Cubs have by no means given up hope, although they trail the first division at present.
