the Chicagos are of the sort to pounce on
them like a hungry dog after bone

terday with his stick. his three singles and
triple having good look.
Joe Stanley's hits were not numerous
but tremendously long. being good for
home run and three bases. He got great
sena off after the homer, as it chased three
runners off the sacks.
Manager Stahl has been somewhat re-
miss in sending base hits to President
Johnson, but he got busy yesterday. get
ting two in the first game and three in
the second.
Young Hardy can be depended upon for
the team next season. He has a cool, cal

he has drop ball that will worry the best

above the average pitcher.
That man Bradley may go off on his
game in other cities. but just as soon as
he strikes Washington he commences do
Ing things. He made several fine stops
yesterday, but Hickman gave him one that
tore his hands apart and had to go as a
single. AT thesbat he got two hits in each
game.

great favorite of all the players. He
was in the club house yesterday. and when
asked who was to pitch the first game, he

only started it. but held out to the end in
the most artistic fashion.

several times in the second game but every
time he looked at Lajoie the big fellow
turned away his head with smile and re-
fused to call him out.

he regretted Is that they couldn't have di-
v!ded the hits up, getting about a half
dozen more into the first game.
