Level Sooner or Later

BY w. s. Barnes, Jr.
dob DUNBAR.)

BOSTON, May 10.-Whatever may
be our opinion of the ultimate stand
ing of the Washington club in the re-
markable American league race that
is proving to be the baseball history
of 1905, we must take off our hats to
Jake Stahl and his gallant young band
for the splendid start they have made,
1t is really extraordinary, for in the
make up of the Nationals, as WASH
ington is now called, outside of the
batteries, there is but one man who
can be called jor league veteran.
The one veteran who has been help
ing out so nightly, especially with
the stick, is Malachi Kittredge, who
has been regarded as more or less of
a cast off from other teams.
1t is most difficult to explain salts
factorily to every one the causes for

nomenal Jake himself was born at
the obscure hamlet of Elkhart, H.,
in the southern portion. He learned
to play bali by the light of pine
knots, and later acquired a few rough
rudiments of the game and some bent
fingers while attending the University
of Illinois.
So much for the natural born lead
er at the head of the protruding Ma
tionals. The rest of the bunch play
the game to the limit and will take
any chance, which is the true spirit
of winning combination.
Stahl has picked up a lot of speedy
youngsters who never had their pic
lures on the front page of Sporting
Life. but some of them may be asked
to sit before long.
Whether they will sit on the bench
or in front of a camera, remains to
be seen. Stahl says he is confident
of keeping up the present stride
There are few shortstops in either
league who have anything on Joe Cas-
sidy, and Mullin is a crack at second,
though he was out of the games play
ed here.
Huelsman is a hitte of the Lajoie
type, when he lands. Hill, the cow
boy from Texas, has rounded up in
great shape at third, and Knoll and
Jones have strengthened the outfield.
If anything We're needed to impart
real tone to the Nationals it was
Jones. He comes from Butler, Pa.
the home of Rube Waddell, and that
speaks more than a column of mere
words.
Last but not least on this new
roster of fame is Malachi Kittridge,
the peppery little backstop. Malachi
has successfully eluded DR. Osler and
the sponge and is catching the game
of his life.
Malachi is great man for the
pitchers. He catches the Vapor Float
in a cuspidor. concealed in the hol-
low of the big mitt, with the peculiar
delivery all the more effective on that

That is one reason why the Ma
