Boston fans have been given free
water by President Lannin, of
the Red Sox. When the big
crowds turned out yesterday to
see the Griffmen in action, they
were pleasantly surprised to
find drinking fountains of the
latest design installed through
out the spacious stands. These
fountains are also provided for
the fans in the St. Louis Amer
ican League Park. How long
will it be before Washington
fans are given them?

EOSTON, May 31. Unless there
f a just-before-the-battle change,
jriffith will send Walter Johnson

By LOUIS A. D0UGHER.
Joe Enjjcl, Clark Griffith's young
twirlcr, has the makings of a big
leaguer, but he will never be a shin
ing light in hid own town until the
crnss-brainod fans in the pailions
allow him to .how hi3 stuff and sup
port him while he is struggling o.it
there in thts hot sun. Hammering a
young player breaks Ihc spirit and,
more on this account than any other.
Engel has steadily failed to make
good with the Griffmen. When the
fans who are alway.s howling for
"young blood" get it inio their heads
to support this same "young blood,"
ftven when it is going bad, the sooner 1
will the young fellow3 deliver tne
goods.
It's a cinch that Manager Griffith,
who was a great pitcher in his own
time, believes Engel possesses the
right stuff for the big league, or he
would not have clung to him so long.
The writer has followed EngcPs
work, both at home and in other
cities, ever ince the Old Fox signed
him up, and he can truthfully say
that the boy pilches his best ball
when on the road. Indeed, the rec
ords prove this to be true.
Supposo you were a kid trying to make
good with a big league team. Suppose
the manager ordered you to the tiring
line and ou were" constants Jeered
from the moment jou started to warm
up until you entered the box You'd be
a bit nervous, wouldn't oW
Then, suppose that you started In to
pitch by giving the catcher a sailer
over his head and you were greeted
with the old cr. "Take him out'"
Would that tend to stead you an ?
You know It wouldn't.
To build up a pitching staff. Manager!
uruntn nus naa t0 take green players
and try to develop them Into stais. He
has made Joe Boehling a commendable
performer and Joe has got over his wild
days. But Joe Boehllng knows, and
has told the writer so, that he never
could have succedded In Richmond, his
home town, because the fans there sim
ply would not endure him. They
wouldn t give him a chance.
Suppose Griff gets tired of Engels
constant failure to pitch winning ball
and sends him to some other club.
Then. too. suppose he mnkes good, as
he undoubted!., would. Wouldn't there
be a mighty roar from those same fans
WhO nOW Sit In the Stand anri tear n,
the youngster? Yes, they'd be crying
that "Griff ought never have let him
go J'
