Now, there's nothing a manager of the regulars hates to lose like a Tanni gan game. It's much like playing pok er; one hates to quit until one is ahead. The Yannigans made the regulars look like a lot of the grammar school boys who stood out on the side lines hoping the Beavers would break their legs and arms so that they would va cate the field for the championship con test of the East vs. the West end of town, or something like that. uTansn Lambaste Regulars The Tans lambasted the regulars up to a certain point, to be correct.

Ted Lewis' reputation as welterweight champion of the world Is suffering considerably today, following his battle Tuesday with Joe Eagan, the Boston slugger.

AMERICAN LEAGIJE . ew 1ork 8, Washington 7 Washington, April 18. (I. N. S.) iiik5 ana nationals put on another parade of pitchers here vmi-. day In a 12 Inning game that went to the New Yorkers. 8 to 7. and which was finally chalked up as a victory for jucgnage over Walter Johnson, after eacn or mese twirlers was his team's third choice. ' NEW ing a good excuse in the sun. held on until Gunner Peter cracked out a single off Bill Shoup that scored Art Ritter with the winning run. The score was 8 to 7 and was umpired by the only and original Harve HIcks, who had the situation well in hand. And not to be funny at all. Lefty Rapp, who has a snaky tongue, suggested that Harve's name and judgment reminded him of a fellow from New Rochelle. William McKlnley, a stocky youngster from Seattle, who was beaned by a sprinkler Tuesday in the big explo sion, wrapped a kerchief around his leg and proceeded to show the regulars something of a spitball. They got one scratchy hit In three Innings and he whiffed five of the anglers. Mitchell Green as Grass Mitchell started for the regulars and was whacked for eight hits and four runs in four frames. He is a willing worker and has considerable natural stuff, but is as green as the grass out there In the diamond. He ought to im prove with coaching. Rapp relieved Mitchell and gave the fans and the young prospects on the club an exhibi tion of how a ball ought to be pitched to a batter. Before Rapp got started. though, the Tannigans slipped in three singles and a double and three more runs counted. They went without a hit or a run the balance of the game. Clow, the youngster from Bend, Or.. followed McKlnley, and Clow has a lot I to learn about the pitching game to add to his natural stuff. But a youngster has to break In some time, and Clow is gaining a lot of good experience. Shoap Ma-kes Good Showing Bill Shoup, who is holding out for more money than Fisher has onerea. finished up the game and the winning rupa were made off him. The Evans vilie lad looks good enough to pitch winning ball lnr the Northwestern league. judging from what he showed In hla first workout today. Shoup will be turned over to Judge McCredle on the money question when the club owner arrives Friday. From the situation as it sixes up now. it looks as if Fisher would need the services of holdout Lefty James, who is working in the Portland shipyards. ames would give htm four pitchers of experience, with the youngsters to help out Fisher himself broke in as a pitcher, and intends to finish up games and maybe start them this summer. Fisher was Immensely surprised last night when Dick Cox hopped off the attler, along with Infielder Feurborn. .direct from' the Salt Lake club. He had figured that Infielder Sands was coming to him, but believes that McCredle saw his need of a catcher and let Cox come north. Fisher also believes that McCredle will let him have another pitcher. Inas much as he has taken Morton to Salt Lake. Fisher figures it out that Mc Credle fears he may lose some players in the army draft and does not want to be crippled If such la the case. The score R. H. E.

The new Spring OLLARj IANTS HAVE A STRONGER TEAM THAN LAST YEAR Doyle's Playing Will Offset Loss , of Buck Herzog; Young Makes a Hit. New York. April 18. (I. N. S.) The Giants of today are a much stronger ball club than they were In 1B17, the loss of Charley Hersog has not hurt the club, for Larry Doyle has appar ently performed a miraculous come back and the addition of Jess Barnes to the pitching staff has greatly strengthened the team In the box. With the same amount of good "breaks" that came their way In last year's campaign, it will not be sur prising to see the 1918 Giants sweep majestically down the home stretch to aiother pennant, well In advance of the field. Ross Young, the new outfielder, has already made fans at the Polo grounds forget Davy Robertson, and if the Giants are not deprived of the services of any of the present regulars by die draft: they will have little to worry about. McGraw has his full strength avail able at the present time, for Lew Mc carty's leg. which was broken last sea son In a game with Cincinnati, has en tirely mended, and Benny Kaoffs In juries during the training season have rot ' kept him out of the game.
