The champions had played about
a dozen games'up- to yesterday

three and losing nine. Manager
Harris has handed out some sooth-
ing balm for the followers of the
Senators by telling them that the
spring games are conditioning inat-
tles only and before the season
opens the champions will lose more
games. .
Slow development of the pitchers
,is given as tho mnin reason for the

in the games played so far. a \\'ash~
ingiou scribe sums up the case for
the Senators as follows:
“The New Yorkers. hungry for

October. trained at Sarasota osten-

“Both of these clubs fnllowcd

with the result that the Giants wen-

"0n the other hand the Senators
had several weeks to go before their
general condition would be up to
such a standard. This is not meant
as any alibi for the Senators. They
displayed plenty of vim in the early
games of the series and fought the
Giants tooth and nail. only to be
barely beaten. But superior con-
dition. especially in the_pitching de-
partment. began to tell in favor of
the Giants and everything begun to

"In the late games the Washing-

NE\\‘ YORK. April S.-—Thc Cleve-
.innd club is angling for. a first hast--
.mau It is odd that bothOhio ma-
’jor league clubs should be colit‘ltous
about first base in the same season.
The Cincinnatis think they have
theirs but many folks worry about
it. Cleveland has .holh Knodu. the
younx-u-r. who has'been in the
South. and George Burns. but is not;
banking so heavily on either of the!" ,
that the ma’hsgement' is closing ital
eyes to the possibility of acquiring‘
a future great. or taking a first
l-risvman who i.- already made.
Knode handle! himself rather well
around first base. but he doesn’t ap-
pear to be a player who will ever
develop into a nrong batter. Old
Jiggs Donohue could play first base
in his time and not bit much. He
had a faculty of being a mighty
handy man in spite of the fact that
he never batted hard. But there
was only one Jiggs. There never
has appeared a first baseman quite
like him since.
Burns of Cleveland is betting bet-
ter this year than he did and there
are times when he plays first base
as well as any of the right-handers.
but he varies his pace. Stephenson
could make a hit for life if he could
play first. A ball player who can
hit like he does certainly has a por-
tion of hard luck for his share be-
cause of his lack of speed. it he
had Knode's speed. or Knode had
his baith ability, Cleveland would
have a first baseman who would
lead the American League as an all-
around product. '
The Cleveland club needs a first
baseman to balance up its team.
With Few-tor at second. Joey Sew-
ell at short and Lutake at third
there is more speed on their field
than Cleveland had last year. but
all three of them need a target to
which to throw. If George Kelly

League from the Giants and placed

would become pennant contenders
in the American League race‘ ' Just
that .one change would revolutionise
the team and not very far after the
