club. and having defeated the Nationals
| The Maurss are TO play off the deciding
game with the shamrocks next Sunday
at Bladensburg
Mcmahon viii pitch no more until satur-
day. He is being saved TO be in good shape
for the Clevelands. Hoffer and Esper have
also been selected by Hanlon To- go against

F. A. nj. Mechan, who umpired the game
of ball between the government Printing
Office and Navy Yard teams at Congress
Heights on Labcr Day, over which there
was some controversy, explains the dis
puted point thus: In the first half of the
ninth inning. W ith G. P. o. men at the bat
and a player on second base, the batter
made hit and .se one ON second started
home, but failed to touch third base The
pitcher threw the bail to third and Mechan
declared the runner out. This brought
on wrangle, Mechan ordering the teams to
go ahead with play, but they refused. and
after the expiration of the time fixed by
the rules, lie gave the game to the Navy

young fellows, and experience and good
handling will make a formida BILE combina-

rally a little nervous. II he had not been,
he W ould have grabbed those two flies that

was not easy. Lush looks and acts the
right is a certainty.
Boswell threw the first ball over the
plate go hard yesterday that he jerked the
cap off Of his head, and the beachers went
into fit. They thought it was very funny
and when the batter got his base on balls
and another did the same thing, there were
loud prophecies that Bos. wouldn't do!
But he converted the big crowd on the next
man. That was Clark, who leads all of
the League men in batting. Boswell went
at him with vengeance, and Clark famed
out. Then there was a howl OF delight
and Boswell was solid, for the day, at
least.
When the Westerners came out this time
they had four clubs in the first division.
Now there is but one. Pittsburg was third,
Chicago fourth and Cincinnati fifth. Now

Chicago ninth. Cleveland is the only West

good and strong.
