i Sports Editor The Decatur Review.) Madisonville, Apr. vain had halted the morning practice Manager Dessau moved up his plans just twenty-four hours and staged the first practice game of the season Wednesday instead of waiting until Thursday. The Nationals, led by Homer Ha- won an easy victory over the Americans, captained by Ralph McCollister, to the tune of a 7 to 3 count. The pitching of Robert Frazee, the Wichita, youngster, the hitting of George Andrews, the Long Island first sacker, and the work of Ben Artigiani behind the bat were the high spots of the contest. FRAZEE STINGY.

Frazee worked three innings for the Nationals and allowed but one bingle, a two base blow by Suggs in the second frame. A double play in the first frame helped the youngster along and then in the third stanza Delmar Kreider went high in thei air to spear a line drive from McCollister's bat to avert trouble. It was the same Kreider who started the double play in the first stanza when he made a nice catch of a drive from "Little Mac." ANDREWS HITS BALL. As the box score appears Andrews was the hitting star of the ball game. He came up in the first frame with a mate on and slapped a double down the left field foul line.

On his next appearance at the plate he rapped a long one over the right field fence for a homer, scoring two mates ahead of him. Two were on again to the fourth when he brought his big bat to the plate and ha doubled to center to tally them. Lefty Honn was the hurler on the last blow which, would indicate that southpaw pitching doesn't bother the left handed sticker. It might be said that Patterson should have come up with his last waUop but the wind was blowing most of the time to make judging the drives dil- -TOE --Artigiani, Smith and Knowles. In-! ielders--Ricks, Andrews, McCollister, Athey, Kreider, Tucker and Kish.

Outfielders--Suggs, Hickey and Paterson. ---O-On Homer Haworth's nine that will nlay at Guthrie Sunday will be Scriwartje, Bragg, McKain, Crans- bach, Yuna, Sweatt, Tice, Plckertae, Hall.

TMs was the year the Commies won Now that the first game has been played they will be almost daily oc- curances for the next two weeks- weather permitting. Skipper Dessau had no more than halted the game Wednesday in the sixth when McCollister raced over to challenge Haworth's club to another struggle and the game will be played Thurs day morning.

ARTIGIANI FEATURES. Athey was next in line with the stick for the winners, getting a pair of blows in three journeys to the plate. Cappy Ricks poled a pair for the losers, one a double to right. Artigiani showed plenty of pep be- Viind the IOK and a shot gun arm that cut down one would-be base stealer by mteen feet and then came through with a pretty peg to Second to nip Kreider off the bag in the fifth inning when the Nationals were threat- enine to add more scores to their list. He also shot a wicked drive over the left field fence in the fifth frame to score Sweatt ahead of him.

The little fellow had doubled 8 the catcher for the only big at tack the Americans made during tne six inning contest. THREE DOUBLE PLAYS.
