Base Ball Notes.

Sir Charles Hickman, we salute thee.
Three doubles. two triples and three sin
giles is something of a record for Cheerful
Charley
Manager Stahl was quite handy with the
bat In the first game. having a double and
two singles, but could not get them safe in
the second.
Anderson gave "Hick" quite a chase in
the second game, with his home-run swipe
and two singles.
The Highlanders certainly put up two poor
fielding games, eight errors in one and three
In another being somewhat weird for team
with championship aspirations.
Third Baseman Hunter Hill told his
friends yesterday that he was going to the
hospital last night to see IL a weeks stay
there wouldn't do him good. Hill has never
been able to get the malaria germs out of
his system.
Joe Cassidy had another busy day having
eighteen chances in the two games, and he
coppered all but one. That's going some,
also.
George Mil is doing fairly well at third
for substitute He IS yet weak on hunted
balls and lacks confidence In throwing to
first, but he can eat UP fast ones, and Is
getting better every day he plays.
Charley Knoll caught his first full game
yesterday, and did exceptionally well. A
catcher has to be up to snuff to take care of
Jack Townsend, and Knoll was certainly
there with the goods" yesterday.
Left Fielder Hahn had bad day yester-
cay in the field, his first muff apparently
rafting him for the rest of the day, but he
was there with the stick, and the kid
looks like conner
Nothing but praise should be showered at
Hal Chase The tall Texan is covering the
bag with his left hand wrapped in bandages.
the result of broken bones and he is unable
to grasp the bat while at the plate, yet he
made several pretty pick ups and catches
yesterday.
The Nationals will leave this evening at
$50 for Boston. where they are scheduled
for game tomorrow afternoon. They
should reach the city OF baked beans by 7
o'clock tomorrow morning.
Joe Stanley has not been at all well for
the past month which doubtless accounts
for his weak stick work. He has fielded
splendidly, throws well and runs the bases
finely, but appears unable to hit the ball
safe.
Big Frank Huelsman had to stand for a
lot Of joshing in the first game, but he got
back at his tormenters in the second
through his good hitting and wonderful
catch of Chase's line drive in the ninth
inning.
Joe Yeager had run-in with the fence in
| front of the left-field seats and was down
and out for ten minutes. He was looking
for a high foul, lost his bearings and went
into the obstruction hard to knock
all the wind out of his body. After good
rub down by Trainer Quirk he gamely re-
| sumed playing.
what Is the matter with Pattern" was
| on every ones lips yesterday. The blonde
| haired southpaw is in splendid condition.
| but he lacks speed and control and seems
unable to land game. Case Is a big IA
| yorite in Washington and all the fans
| are hoping he will get started before the
season closes.
"Old Reliable Jim Mcclure worked in
| the second game. and his backstopping was
| all that could be asked for, while at the
| bat he led the team with double and two
| singles. The way Gentle Jeems'' holds on
| Is marvellous
Will b. Goode, who started the second
| game, had plenty of speed and fair con-
| troll. but Manager Griffith should have
known better than to put a southpaw In
against the Nationals. Manager Jones OF
| the Chicagos can give him a few points on
| the question as to whether or not Hick-
| man, Anderson and Huelsman can bat left
