HOWARD SHANKS,
The Speedy Young Gardener of the Nationals, Who Is Electrifying the Fans
Stunts In tho Field. This Youngster Is In the Big
GROOM AT HIS BEST WHEN
FACING HEAVIEST HITTERS
Sam Crawford Is One of
Sir Robert's Principal
Victims.
By "SENATOR."
Sir Robert Groom, the elongated, at
tenuated toothpick twlrler, backed by a
hitting team, has come into his own.
He is at his best when facing tho
league's greatest hitters. Ho is now
looked upon as the second best pitcher
on tho Climbers' staff, Johnson alono
excelling the splinter pitcher.
There are at least four of the league's
mightiest sluggers who seldom cause
Groom much trouble, though they
Found and hammer and bump the offei
ngs of other pitchers to a fare-you-well.
The lank lad winds his perplex
ing curves around their wands, makes
them fish for his wide benders and
breaks their backs trying to lnnd on his
spltter.
Sam Crawford, the aged slugger of
the Detroit Tigers, is Groom's principal
victim. Crawford is disgusted from the
start when he knows that Bob Is on the
mound for tho Nationals against tho
Tigers, for Sam Is veiy well aware that
another day Is going by without his
doing anything. .
Proofs Are Many.
Proofs are many of tho marvelous
power Groom holds over tho head of the
Tigers' greatest Hwatter. Even last
year, when the Nationals looked like a
representation rrom an old soldiers'
home, the long lad fooled and toypil
with Crawford as If ho were a veritable
boob from the giass lands.
This season It has been the same story,
and no man on the Held was so happy
when Groom was banished fiom the
mound In Detroit by tho umpire than
the pudgy gardener of the Tigers. He
had got rid of his worst foe nnd might
hope for a blngle or two, though ho got
none.
Ty Cobb, tho Incomparable, Is another
of Groom's victims. Cobb is a terror
to most pitchers, particularly to those
who cannot field their positions or have
little control. When going right, Groom's
control Is excellent and ho knows what
to do with a grounder sent his way, ho
It fast or slow. Oh, yes, Ty gets hits
now and then off Groom, but he counts
them mighty lucky ones and makes no
boasts about them.
When a pitcher can go into a gamo
reasonably certain of stopping two of
his best hitting opponents his chances
for victory are more than good. There
fore, Bobby Groom does not shudder
when carded to face tho Tigers, for he
knows his ability to feazc both Cobb
and Crawford, and they're about tho
whole Tiger team with tho willow.
w Collins Is Another.
If you would see a bright diamond
star look like a bush league boob In a
single afternoon, take a look ut Eddie
Collins when forced to bat against the
winding curves and puzzling spltter
of Bob Groom. The little second baso
man of the world's champion Ath
letics Is one of the most consistent
sluggcjs In the league. He fears no
twlrler.
But when Collins goes up against
Groom, the odds are against his boost
ing the hitting figures that day. He
Just can't seem to get hold of the ball
with any degree of force. He gave
one of these pitiful exhibitions last
week In Philadelphia, going without
a blow all day
The best he could do was to ham
mer a hot grounder to "Buzz" Foster
for a death at flrat. Then he rolled to
Gandll and perished. His lact time up,
with Maggert standing expectantly on
third base, he stood there and looked
at a third strike dart across the pan
at an impossible angle He had been
fooled most Impressively
Ping Bodie a Joke.
Out In Chicago the South Side bugs
are always pulling for Ping Bodie to
shove tho pellet over the garden wall.
The organ grinder from Frisco does
do this occasionally, too, but never
when Bob Groom Is on tho mound
against him Then Ping curls up and
dies, slowly and gracefully.
Tho great Ping Bodie, killer of op
posing pitchers, slaughterer of the
best curves and fast ones. Is a verita
ble Joke when compelled to swing on
that slde-urm curve ball of Groom's,
lie goes out for them like a fisherman.
Even when he happens to land on one
It seldom rolls beyond the infield.
When the Climbers were In Chicago
this spring Bodie rolled four puny
little, grounders to McBrlde in a row.
He never had a chance.
Cobb, Crawford, Collins, and Bodie
make a sweet quartet of diamond

meat of all daring twlrlers opposing
them, but they all surrender as soon
as Bobby Groom, tho elongatd. at
tenuated toothpick twlrler, enters tho
box against them. He has their num
ber. Gandil Is Sore.
"Chick" Gandll Is soie. Indeed, ho is
peeved and vexed. Picking up 11 weekly
baseball paper, he read that Montreal
sport writers are blaming him for not
giving his best efforts to the Montreal
club.
"What do you know about that for a
charge?" he asks, hotly. "Saying I
quit up there In Montreal. That's about
the caliber of tho wi iters up there,
though, wouldn't know a hall player
if they stumbled over him in a dark
alley.
"But that's something I've never
done quit on a manager. I've always
done my best wherever I've been. If I
can make good with the Washington
club, I'm going to hang on. If I can't,
the manager Is never going to be able
to say that I didn't try. I'm always
out there doing my best, and I don't
like to read that I didn't try to play
good ball In Montreal."
Chevy Chase Puts
Columbia in Shade
Chevy Chase again demonstiated its
superiority over Columbia In the homo
and homo matches under tho auspices
of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association,
which aro being held each week. On the
year's matches the Chevy Chase Club
has a shade on the Columbia Club and
yesterday won three of tho five matches
played. ,
Tho last match, that between John C.
Davidson, of Columbia, anil Alorven
Thompson was the deciding match of
the afternoon, Thompson turning tho
tldo of victory by defeating the Colum

The summaries follow:
Chevy Chose, 3 points; Columbia C.

Dr. Leo L. llarban. Columbia, defeated

Sister Sees Him.
Paul Musser, one of the Nationals'
piomlslug lecrult hurleis, pitched .1 few,
innings yesterdav for his sister, who sat
in the stand and applauded his every
effort. Musser belongs Just outside of
Philadelphia, and his sister played that
bhe might see him In a big leaguo line
up. She did.
Out for Season.
Harry Wolter, the hard-hitting right
fieldei of the New York Highlanders. Is
out of the game for the lest of the sea
son. He broke his leg in a game on
the Yankees park and will have all ex
penseu paid, together with his salary.
By "SENATOR."
It pays to bo n winner In baseball.
The baftifball fnn rushes to tho park
to see a contender. Tho Nationals havo
proved this conclusively this sonson,
and hope to continue showing the proof.
Tho largest crowd ever drawn to
?hlb.i Park bv n Washington club piled
Into the huge stands last Wednesday
whtn, with all the piistlge of their
teventeen straight victories, the Na
tionals appeared to combat the world's
champion Aihlctlca. Eighteen thousan 1
fans gathered to look upon two of the
lmrdcit fought baseball battles In the
hIMory of tho game.
But these figures were ber.ten on tlu
rollowlng day, when L'2,WW tans, an on
fire by the hair-raising victories of tha
Mackhicn the day before, tilled every
seat In tha vast structure. But they
wouldn't all have been there had the
"Old Fox" been leading the misfit ag
gregation Jlinmv McAleer toted around
the clr.;iilt In 1911. They were there
becuukc Griff's team hod a chance to
win.
Should Make Money.
The Washington club should make a
pot of money this season. If Griffith
cin hold his club In the first dlvlaim,
and It seems fair to believe he can,
the most diosptous season In ths hls
torv of the clubi should be experienced
in J0'2 Indeed the heavy Indehtcdneso
if the club should !i wiped out in jib
time with a winning club.
Washington, long tired of suppoitlng
a losing venture, will flock to see the
Climbers when they can win half their
games. This year's team looks strong
enough In every department, too, to be
able to hold Its own with the best clubs
In the league. During the home stays
of the Nationals thn club's treasury
should benefit greatly by the Increased
class of the players.
On the road, too, the Nationals will
draw more people than ever before.
On thp first swing through the West
the stellar work of the team was so
unexnected. so surnrlslng. In fact, that
many fans stayed away from the- parks
und mlhsed seeing a grtui sir-.dic

today on the intei city tennl3 match,
the Monumental City reptesentutlves

Can't Feazc Schaefer.
Herman Schaefer Just can't be feazed.
He won't be. that's all there is to it.
During one of the Philadelphia de
feats he went to bat for Joe Engel and
.1 rooter In the upper tier Joshed him
In a loud voice. "Who's the batter?
Who's the batter? Who Is he? I know
him, but who Is he?" he shouted.
Schaefer paid no attention to his tor
mentor, but cracked out a double to tho
fence In center field. When the Inning
was over he walked past the rooter,
and, looking up at him, "There he Is,
hut who Is he? I don't know him. Who
Is he?"
That particular fan, a pest all day
until that moment, subsided thereafter.
