GRIFFITH STILL HAVING TROUBLE Infield Worrying Him Again Bmidnt the Outfield Not Be ing Quite Good Enough t?j Win. New York. June 5.?The Wash ington infield again is worrying Clark Griffith. Prothro, who was brought in from Memphis to pla> third base, revived the infield a lot But Grif hat* failed, as he has failed in other years, to get much batting out of his infield. Various experiments with bushere who were not ready failed to add any vital punch to his fly catchers. Ap parently. no matter how hard h<? tries. Grif Just naturally cannot as semble an outfield. The present trio playing the Wash ington outfield can bat about .297. If they could do .333. the old bal loon would begin to fly over the capital. But there is not a real slugger among the present outfield crop at the capital. Rice and Gos lin are better than average hitters, but they are not clean up men. Gri! has taken Wid Matthews on from Milwaukee, but that has not given him a hard hitter. Matthews is the type of batter that already predomi nates on the Washington team. He can talk and perhaps for that reason will thrive In Washington, where the great chin-chin goes on the year 'round. If you study th^ Washington team closely, you at least can find a con sistent baseball organization as. considering what they have in the way of players, they are as close to their knitting as the Yanks. They fight for what they can get and grudgingly give way when they have to. Give them a hangup hitter and they would go into the first division as sure as rain it wet?and almost any big league player can testify this spring that rain Is. Give Washing ton two good pitchers and every team In the American League would be nervous for the rest of the sea son. Trls Speaker isn't begiuning to hit the ball as he did last year. Stephenson is out of the Cleveland line up and Joe Sewell is being out batted by his brother. These are some of the reasons why Cleveland is not winning. In addition, the pitchers are not coming through. Perhaps Tris put too much confi dence in Coveleskie's ability to come back. When the spitler begins to break, look out. Grimes of Brook-1 lyn is not as good as he was. The' only spit ball pitcher who has !*? turned to form utter baseball seemed to have left him Is Jack Qulnn of Boston. They call Qulnn old. and he Is In point of service. But he went out a failure and returned a winner. Al most every spltter who has gone out stayed out. The spit ball pitcher has nothing except strength and the breuk of the bull. No chauge of pace, no mastery of a curve that breaks for him Just us he wishes. He must rely upon the strength of his wrist. When his arm tires, his pitcbtnf 1" gone no matter how great his knowledge of batters and his ac quaintances with the game. One of the best spit ball pitchers In history admitted that In the last two years of his career his pitching was mostly bluff. He didn't use sa liva, but pretended to and got away with?until the batters began to get wise. Then he faded. NATIONAL LKAOl'E WmIhmUj'n Score*. Philadelphia 5?St. Louis 12 Others rained out.

N. C. I> T?? AArtiM) ?New York. June 5.?Time has lJuttfied fiuianne Lenglen, the French tennis star, for one of the supposedly "catty" remarks she made. Just before she defeated Mrs. | Molla BJurstedt Mallory at Wtlmble don. At that time Mile Lenglen was roundly criticised for Baying that she feared Miss Elizabeth Ryan when the French girl quit the courts in the t midst of a match at Forest Hills. Last week at Chlswick. England. rMlts Ryan defeated Mrs. Mallory 6-2. 6-3 In the semi-finals of the Middlesex championship. This ! proof that her remark was a war ranted sporting opinion rather than [an attempt to be catty must give a deal of satisfaction to Mile Leng len. now trying to build her strength I up. after an Illness, In time to meet Helen Wills in the Olympic games. WILLS AGAIN UP TO FIGHT MADDEN Whether Red Tape Will In terfere This Time as Has ill Past Is Question Yet Un settled. New York, June 6.?If certain red tape can be unwound with the dex-j terlty and rapidity with which other red tape has already been unwound, { Hurry Wills and Hartley Madden will put up their dukes In the; Queensboro arena next Monday; night. And the writer's tip Is that. when the bout is over the fans will all be wondering why all the fuss was made about this mix-up unless of course Wilis has gone way way back. And this is so doubtful as to' make the idea ridiculous. Since It seems certain that Wills will figure quite prominently out doors this summer he needs this Madden bout badly. Hartley Madden is going to Lon don after his affair with Wills is do-, Clded* if it ever is. The attraction is a July 7 bout with Jack Bloom-1 field, now regarded as the best of a poor lot of heavies In England. Jersey men say that the New York athletic commission is trying to hound Mickey Walker into a fight with Dave Shade under conditions1 that do not appeal to Mickey. Leo Flynn, Shade's manager, is sup posed to have a clever Italian fing er in the pie. The trouble about the boxing authorities' threats to de-' prlve Mickey of his New York 11 cense Is that Walker has not got a; New York license, and hasn't had one (or a long time. Well, the big killing In Los An-1, geles which Spider Kelley had i planned (or Jack Dempaey did not , come off. Pat Lester, the promising Pacific coast heavy weight, who was to spring such a surprise upon the champion in the projected (our ' round bout (or the benedt of the orphan's (und. got stage (right and l re(used to mingle with the Killer. The story was that 8plder Kelly, who has been pushing Lester, re ceived a slight by Dempsey and Kearns a (ew years ago when he was derricked out o( a job as Demp sey's second in the (irst Miske (ight. Since then Kelly has been aiming to get even. Lester was the weapon he decided to use. "We will go in ; the ring" he said and we will show ! SLEEPLESSNESS Virginia Lady Says That Many of Her Long - Suffered ma Hare Fled Since She Took CardoL Bristol, Vt?"I can sleep good at night now, something I have never done before in my life," says Mrs. Deals Hawks, of 712 Prospect St* this city, "and it Is due to Cardui. "I was always nervous and tossed when I should have been asleep, but since I took Cardui It has strength ened me, and my general health is so improved that many of the ills from which I have suffered for years have fled. "I used to go to bed tired and, when ( would get up In the morning, I was ?till tired. Now I feel like doing a day's work in my garden or in the house, and I owe all this good health to Cardui, for I had suffered for years until 1 took it. "I had had female trouble for years and once, for six months, I was flat on my back. I am glad to recommend to other women a medicine which has helped me." It you are nervous and run-down in ] health, suffering as Mrs. Hawks de scribes above, it is probable that i Cardui will greatly help you. Try it 1 NC-157 KEAL SUMMER SHOE ?
