HARRY’S NAPS WIN FIRST GAME IN CANTER
SPORTING PAGE EDITED BY PERCY H. WHITING
B7 PERCY B. WHITING.
Well, it *u an awful drubbing the Cracker* took Friday
bnt don't you care. Friday i» an unlucky day anyhow. And then
we don’t have to tackle a collection of batting phenomenon* like
the Larripura after the eeaaonopena.
Ante-season games don’t mean anything anyway, and that
one Friday wasn’t intended to be taken seriously. Even Hilly
Smith laughed at it and when Hilly smiles over a losing game
you can take it from us that it’s all right.
gai
joie and Terry Turner made errors. Things like that do not hap
pen 6ften.
Sweeny did not make but one hit, but it waa an awful welt he
hit the leather. The ball went to the fence and if Ed hadn ‘t fall
en down in his haste to reach second he might have sneaked home
on it. f
It’s something awful to contemplate—the way those Naps
tear off hits—bits for—bases is enough to put any team on the
blink.
Are the Naps stronger than the Yanksf Or are the Yanks—f
Bnt what’s the usef No good discussing that until both ag
gregations have passed up to the still frozen north. They are
all our friends and we wish them well.
Undoubtedly, though, on present form Cleveland has it over
the Highlanders. But that doesn’t prove anything.
Griffith’s infield is all shot to pieces while Lajoie has the
all-star cast which is the wonder of modern baseball." Larry him
self, Turner and Bradley are hard to beat and Stovall is pretty
On the infield proposition there is no doubting that the
Clevelanders have the best of it. In hitting also they are stronger.
The outfield is another matter, though; and so is the pitching
staff.
And anyway it is a matter of luck. At the first of the sea
son the Cleveland club usually looks the best in the league but
misfortune has camped on ita trail year after year and all at
tempts to win a pennant have failed. 7 t
Here’s luck to Cleveland this year—and to New York, too.
And may the beat team win.
Liebhardt had hard luck in having the first base on balls
scored against him Friday. Ehman had pitched three balls when
Lajoie yanked him out of the box. It was up to Glen, therefore,
to slug the first one over, or have a base on balls chalked
against him. He failed and O’Leary walked.
Ehman, by the way, is not a Cleveland player at all. He be
longs to Akron, Ohio. He is just traveling with the Larry’s to get
the experience and the spring training. Doubtless if he ripens
well he will get a trial with the Cleveland team next year.

NAPS’ REGULAR LINE-UP
DOPED OUT BY ED BANG
By E. F. BANG, of Cleveland News.
Manager Lajoie. of Cleveland, has
practically decided upon hie line-up for
the opening game In Detroit. April 11.
It was known right along that If El
mer Flick signed a Cleveland contract
he would be one of the regulars In the
outfleld. Harry Bay waa also slated to
be a regular, If the Injury to his knee
mended. The Nap chieftain has decid
ed that Joe Birmingham will be the
guardian of the left patch. This leaves
Congalton and Hlnchman aa substi
tuted. Should Bay tall to round to,
Congalton will be used In right and
Flick shifted to center.
The Cleveland owner* want the
American League pennant thl* year and
will carry the live outflelder* all aea-
at third, Turner, short. Lajoie, aecom
and Stovall, first, together with one
utility Intleldcr, either O'Brien or Por
ting will be carried. Experience favors
the former, although Perrlng U show-
daily.
Ing hotter form
The Nape will also carry three catch,
era. Nig Clarke, formerly of Atlanta,
Harry Beml* and Howard Wakefield,
and eight pitchers. Joss, Bernhardt.
Rhoades, Hess. Moore, the five regu
lars of last season, and Glen Liebhardt,
Helnle Berger and Jakle Thlelman
until June l. and probably longer. No
pruning will be done untjl almost two
month* after the opening of the season
and then It Is likely that only one
pitcher will be farmed. "Buff" Ehman.
the other pitcher with the Nape, will
be returned to Akron.
