THE BALL PLAYERS.
The Nationals New Manager-The Game
with the BOstOns Yesterday.

1t cannot be learned that the Nationals have
as yet secured any of the coveted players from
st. Louis, but they have secured new mana
ger Ia the person of Umpire Gaffney, who has
resigned the latter position and will take
charge of the Statesmen after to-day's game.
If he will make half as good a manager as he
did an umpire he will be very acceptable to the
base ball public of Washington. AS an umpire
he was always prompt and infieXible. and his
efforts to watch every point in the game and to
deliver his decisions with strict impartiality
were well appreciated by the spectators If he
can maintain the reputation he has earned he
will have warm support from the base ball
public of Washington. This is simply thrown
out as a suggestion TO Manager Gaffney. If he
wishes to have the people on his side he can do
SO by being frank with them. 1t is announced
that the ST. Louis players are still on the mar
ket and there is hope that the Nationals will
eventually secure at least some OF them, if not
the whole club. The increased attendance at
Capital park since the Statesmen recently
covered from their lethargy and played with a
little spirit shows how ready the public is to
support IL team that will do its best. Even if
the club is not greatly strengthened, earnest
playing will be appreciated.
THE BOSTON-NATIONAL GAME YESTERDAY.
The Nationals did not have a very good day
yesterday, and were numerically drubbed by
the Bostons, the score being 4 to 1. The home
team felded miserably, and were completely
subjugated at the bat by Buffinton. But two
hits were made off him until the last inning,
when hits by Carol, Knowles and Hines
earned their only run. The BostOns had but
three errors, while the Nationals made fifteen.
Crane, who pitched for the home team was not
very effective, as he was hit safel y twelve
times. The same clubs play again to-day.
This will be the last game on the home grounds
until September 10.

A Pointer"


The st. Louis Globe-Democrat, which
is one of the most prominent Repubh-
can papers in the country, says;
1.-THE attempt to take the Blair bill out
of the hands Of the House Committee on
Education and secure its reference to
some committee which will report upon
it promptly is not likely to succeed
but it will force the Democrats to COM
nit themselves plainly against the idea
Of the general promotion of public
school interests, and that is o point
worth accomplishing, whether the bill
shall be passed or not"
The vote in the House yesterday
proves that the Globe-Democrdt was
mistaken.
Nevertheless, the Democrats would do
we'll to heed the "pointer" in the above.
Our St. Louis contemporary shows very
plainly that nothing would please the
Republican party more than to be able
to 90 before. the people with evidence
that the Democrats were opposed to
the general promotion Of public-school
interests. If the Democrats fail to get
the BLAIR bill before the House and
passed they will have supplied the Re-
publicans with most dangerous wea-
pom for use, not only in the next ma
tional campaign, but in the next State
campaigns in the South.

The RlairBlll.

The vote in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday on the BLAIR bill lit was
substantially that indicates that that bill
is strong enough to force its way
through that house if the members can
ever be brought to vote upon it. 1t
is not entirely " out Of the woods" 1t
may yet be defeated by parliamentary
strstegy-not otherwise. Mr.. CABELL,
of Virginia, we are glad to know, was
the chairman Of the meeting that de-
vised the successful means Of getting
the education bill before q friendly
committee. We take it that all of the
Virginia members of the House of Rep
resentatives except Mr.. TUCKER will
lend their aid to this wise measure.
