A few years ago in New York
a great Republican politician,
when one Of his powerful COL

that in Arkansas the people love

need, one hundred day men. Let
the sound roll over every hill and

people rise and decree it at the

bearings; let the cause and tri-

Nationals Again Show
Weakness at the Bat
Manager StahI's Single Was the Only Hit by
Our Band-Cassidys Fatal Error
Let in Run.

CHICAGO, May 22.-There's no use
talking, unless you hit the ball you can
not win at the great national game, and
Washington is only making as many
hits as water front burlesque in grand
opera, so it naturally follows that it is
losing.
For reference see yesterdays score
OF to in favor of Chicago.
The score should have been D to at
the end of the ninth inning, but Chicago
was twice able to take advantage of
mistake and bring a man home, while
Washington was there with the goods
but once.
It was a pitchers battle and Patten
deserves as much credit as If he had
won for the preponderance Of hits In
favor of Chicago was due, moi to the
fact that the Westerners could hit him
so well, but because his supporters were
miserably weak at bat.
Just when things looked brightest and
a run seemed to be on the cards a Ma
tionaI would fan with the regularity of
a punkah boy and nothing would de-
veIop.
Nationals Misplays.
Errors also figured in the result. Cas-
sidy added up wrong in the fifth in
discounting Green's wrive to short with
the result that Smith, who had doubled
and been sacrificed to third, got home
with the fatal run, and Knoll dropped
fly that was already caught and Hill
fooled q slow one from Davis. but as
nothing materia1ized from their miscues
they may be forgiven.
Patten, himself, was partially respon-
sibIe for the first run. He stabbed
Fielder Jones in the arm with a fierce
insfoot IN the third inning. After giving
vent to the usual groans. lamentations,
al4d facial contortions. Fielder walked
20 first. His injury was rot SO fatal
that he could not run. and he stole
second. Green was Il cinch, but Gala
han sent a screamer to left. and Jones
busted the pan.
Started Like a Winner.
Washington started like a winner. but
curled up at the eighth pole. Charley
Jones worked a base, and was sacrificed
along by Hill. Stahl got an ovation
and a hit, and Jones scored. The boy
manager then scurried to second, beat
ing McFarland's throw by a hair Huels-
man ard Hill each famed and there
was a murmur OF surprise from the
home rooters.
in the second inning Hill drew d pass,
was sacrificed. and caught stealing third.
In the third round Patten drew four
bad ones. Jones sacrificed. Patten
went 70 third on Hills out, but Stah!
