Hitting and Clever Fielding Should
Do Well in the West

After tomorrow's closing game with
the Athletics local fandom will not have
an opportunity TO see the Nationals
play for nearly a month.
Tomorrow night the club will pack up
its belongings and start the long
Western trip. On Thursday the cam
paign in the West win be opened with
a four-game series with Lajoie,s Cleve-
land tribe. From there the Nationals
move on TO Detroit and then to Chi
cago.
The Western tour will end at ST
Louis on May 2S, and the team jumps
back to Philadelphia for four games
with the Athletics.
After this series the club returns
home for a long stay and opens with
Detroit on June g. Then come the other
Western teams. and no matter what
our naughty Nationals do on the road
they should accomplish some small
deeds of xaIor when back on their own
camp ground.
Surprised EN- All.
There has probably never been a
greater surprise in the baseball world
than the success OF the Washington
team this year. Starting out as a
! tail-end team which came within one
game of breaking the worlds record
for losing IN a major league, It fell
down at fiji st before the New York
Americans. With a series OF twenty
four games with the three Eastern
,, teams, about the strongest in the
American League excepting Chicago,
there appeared no reasonable ground
for believing that the team could pos
sibly start its Western tour in any but
last place As it is, there are only two
more games to play. ana even If they
are lost the Nationals, now in second
place, cannot fall out of the first di-
vision.
If anyone mad predicted before the
opening OF the season that the Nation
ais would depart in other than the Gel
lar seat he would have been put down
as 81 dub and as being ignorant of the
first rudiments of baseball, but the un-
expected has happened. And what is
more remarkable, the Nationals are in
second place in the league mostly be-
cause they deserve it. Excuses do not
reason for apologiZing for winning. II

sition where it was the laughing stock
OF the baseball world.
Won on Their Merits
Washington has won its games
largely on its merits. Hits have come
at timely moments, and there has been
a surprising ability to connect with the
ball at the proper moment. In Phila-
deiphia this was esnecially noticeable
and every game won there was because
the men at the bat cid the right thing
at the right time. Knoll has been one
of the finds in this line 50 far, and
While h is not a woTld-beaJing chan-
pion with the stick he has developed
into q pinch hitter whose ability has
turned defeat into -sictofY on one or two
occasions already and he gives promise
of doing better in the future.
Manager Stahl has insisted upon more
team batting, ana this has told. He,
Kittredge, and other old players, have
been laying down pesky little bunts at
The right moment. and going out at
the temptation to make a long swat and
get applause from the bleachers. A home
run is big help when you are sure
you are going to make il, but under or
binary circumstances the iudicious use
of the sacrifice nit is better in the long
race, and the Nationals are beginning
TO realize this little truth.
Dazed Butch" Jones.
Ii Philadelphia, the newspapers and
other critics were astonished at the
hitting of the Nationals and the brain
work displayed by the men. The eminent
Butch Jones. who has a bunch of
stock in the Athletics, and has been go
ing TO baseball games in one capacity
or another for tys:sty-seyen years, and
who before that re-fL in no ca pa city, but
because there was y hole in the fence,
was loud IN his praises OF the team that
was tearing tie hide off his faYorites.
the clever way in which the Nationals
the bases, and expressed the opinion
that all through the season they would
be thorn in the flesh of any team In
the league. In saying these few kind
words, Butch was rejecting the onn-
ions OF Connie Mack. the man-tamer
who manages the Athletics and Rube
Wadde1l. for they had long and painful
discussions of the rude and rowdy way
in which the Nationals were making
Jokes of the Athletics. Mr.. Mack did
not make his reputation in the Sunday
School League or any other leading or
ganization of Washington, but he is quite
well known, and his opinion counts
some.
In fielding, the Nationals have done
great work. The principal fault has been
poor judgment in gauging long flies in
the outfield and in working together in
stantly when two men start after the
same ball This fault will be entirely
overcome or largely eliminated before

A PIONEER GONE.

On Tuesday morning, Feb. q, Mrs.
Phebe j. LOomer passed away into the
life beyond. Her death occurred after
an illness Of almost year. She grew
gradually weaker, not suffering much
pain, and at the last fell sweetly to
sleep. Her death even as her life, was
calm and peaceful.
Mrs. LOOmer was a woman active in
good works, faithful in her home
duties, and kindly to her neighbors
and friends. In her long residence in
the Mccormick Lake neighborhood,
she so endeared herself to all, that her
death cast pail of sadness over the
entire community.
Hers was quiet life, not lived for
show, nor to gain applause, but
plainly and simply that she might be
a blessing to those who came in touch
with her. She was faithful member
of the Helping Hand society and
Woman's Relief Corps, the spirit of
both these organizations being so
kindred to her own that she joined
heartily in all their labors. From her
very childhood she lived a devoted
Christian life and just shortly before
her death, she expressed her readiness
to enter upon that higher life, for
which she had been so faithfully
preparing.
Phepe J. Loomer was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. James Minard. She
was born in York state, Jan. II, 1S43,
and died at her home at Mccormick
Lake, Feb. 81, 1905.
She united in marriage with George
w. Loomer, May II, 1865. To this
union there came five children, all of
whom are living and were with their
mother during her last moments.
The children are Mrs. Cora Stevens
Jeston ]. Loomer, Mrs. Winnie
Phelps, Mrs. Effie White and Clinton
M. Loomer, and these with the
bereaved husband have the heartfelt
sympathy of all their friends in this
great loss which has come to them.
One of Gods blessed saints, one of
Minnesota's faithful pioneers, has
gone on to her reward.
