Tomorrow the Griffs open the Yankees home season at the Polo Grounds, but they have an engagement at Georgia avenue before, that. Connie Mack's Athletics are going out after the odd victory here, and, judging from their work to date, they have an excellent chance of landing it Eddie Foster, playing second in place of the absent Morgan, presented the Athletics with the chance t' of winning their first victory of the ,1918 season by quitting on a short fly just behind him. The visitors were quick to take advantage of the mistake, and before that inning was ended Johnson "had been pounded on the knob for five runs. Connie Mack showed a small crowd another real bit; league pitcher In the person of Scott Perry, a huge chap with some National League experience, a Rood head, some speed, and a fair curve ball. Perry pitched an eren same with hli more famous opponent and kept the hits and walks well scattered tb the end.

Hew It Vtaa Won. 'With two down In the sixth, Kopp singled to left. Gardner raited a fly In short right. Fester started out as Shotton started in. Then Foster stopped and so did Shotton.

The ball fell safely between them, though a either could hare taken It by keep-- ing on. By starting- out Foster deterred the outfielder from going through with the play and Kopp rounded third br the time he saw the midget picking up the ball. Kopp kept on and Pos ter's peg was high, letting the Mack- man score and Gardner go to third. Burns' slashing single to center scored Gardner, putting the Mackmen in front. Walker doubted left.

Burns tallying when the throw to the plate struck him In the back, walker took, third on the pec Shannon walKed and TJugan's bio tie scored Walker. Trying a double steal. Foster's return throw to the plate -was fumbled by Alnsmlth and Shannon I tallied frith the fifth run of the frame. Perkins" fly to Schulta closed casualties. i The Griffs lone run came In the fifth on Shannon's muff of a hid fly In short right SchulU had strolled with one down end gone up on Lavan's single to left.

Alnsmlth perished and Johnson raised a high one behind Shannon. When be dropped it Schulte's run counted. Lavan, trying to score behind him, died at the dish.

Today's last game with the Mack, men Is due for 4:30 o'clock. ri nrtmn tonlrht forew York, wliere tomorrow they open the Yankees' home season.

Western" clubs are complaining of rain and cold weather this spring, and It Is bothering the pitchers most of all. Ed Barrow has made a flying start In the American League, and Boston fans believe the Red Sox sure to cop the bunting. Tti.Hn VltT-rrralri. Pacific Coast League star, has been crowded to the bench by George Whltted, but Tat lloran says be is- a coming star. New York writers are hammering the Yankee management for Its fall- use to bolster Its weak pitching corps.

The rest of the team looks good. Judclne from their showing to date the New York Giants have nothing to worry about this year. They have the National League pennant won al ready. Benny Kauff. the Giants' slugging outfielder, eays he Is anxious to get Into the army.

He will not be called till late in the summer, but no one is preventing him from volunteering. Eddie Alnsmlth Is promised plenty of work this season, but he falrlj-gloats on work. In the past Manager Griffith has generally been compelled to bold him back. This year Eddie Is the catching staff. Bert Shotton Is playing fine- ball for the fSriffmen this spring.

He Is bene fltlng already from a change of scenery, and the right field fans are pulling for him to hit up around .300. Bert's willing. "Handsome" Hilly Evans has de veloped a Mile Charlotte dip and turn this year whenever he decides that a drive along to left or right Is foul. They'll have him In the movies yet gosh darn him.
