LUCKY IF WEATHER PERMITS CLEVELAND GAME BY FRIDAY
No Possible Chance to Get on Field for First One
INFLUENZA HAS TEAM GOING
Most of Players Contract Severe Colds While Going, From Sunny East to Icy Breezed West - Elberfeld May Not Be Able to Play Either Cleveland or Detroit, His Finger Being Very Bad.
Special to The Washington Post.
Cleveland, June 1.-Cleveland and Washington maybe able to play a game of baseball this week, and then again maybe they won't. There was not a chance to play today, and if the sun does not come out good and strong tomorrow morning it is extremely doubtful if a game can be played in the afternoon. Inasmuch as the sun has crossed Cleveland off his calling list, wagers that the Naps and Nationals will have to wait until Friday before engaging in hostilities will go begging I'm takers. If by any chance a conflict is engaged in upon the league park diamond tomorrow, either Falkenberg or Mitchell, the latter a left-hander, will pitch for Cleveland and. Oberlin for Washington. At - least Oberlin was picked by Manager McAleer today to pitch the first game, having been told by the leader of the Nationals that he could, work the initial contest here and then take the next train out of town for his home in northern Indiana.
McAleer Visits Home Town.
Manager Jim himself was not visible to the naked eye about the corridors of the Colonial Hotel today, having gone to his home in Youngstown as soon as it was known that no game would be played. "Doc" Gessler and "Doc" Reisling were two others who took advantage of the rain to chase down to Columbus to renew old acqualntanceships.
The remainder of the Washington squad stuck pretty close to the hotel, and nursed the colds that they acquired coming over from New York. The mercury took a tumble of about 20 degrees while they were en route, and the majority of them awoke this morning suffering from influenza. Bob Unglaub was the exception. The change of temperature took place before he went to sleep and as the result of a liberal tip, the porter brought him five extra blankets.
Elberfeld Getting Impatient.
"Kid" Elberfeld visited Dr. Castle, the Cleveland club physician, this afternoon, and had his damaged finger dressed. The "Kid" is more than anxious to get in shape, for he says that he is working for a manager now for whom he desires to give his best efforts. His finger is far from being well, and it is scarcely probable that he will get into the game either here or at Detroit.
Hinrichs, the young giant from Los Angeles, made a hit with the fans as he walked about the hotel corridor. His teammates predict a bright future for him, comparing him with Johnson when the latter broke into fast company.
