Are Ready
For Cleveland Series
Scene of BattIe-Ohioans Have Baseball
CraZe-EagIes Will Attend.

CLEVELAND, O.. May u.-Our Won
derful Nationals arrived here yester-
day in rainstorm, which dan4pened
everything except their enthusiasm and
the dry wit Of Kittredge and other jok-
ers.
Cleveland is here for business pur-
poses only. When you ask the native
the points of interest in the town he
tells you TO take q peep at the hand
some dwellings, on Euclid avenue and
then stops short for want OF something
else to suggest that would attract at
tention. If urged to further specifica-
tions he viii probably suggest a look
at the ore docks or watching the wild
waves of the lake wash dead rats
ashore. If still further pressed he viii
buy drink and change the line of
conversation That last should be borne
in mind by visitors.
Popularity of City
Another popularity of the Forest
City is that not one Of its street cars
runs by anything in the burg Ask a
native how to get TO a point. the re-
ply is that it is so many blocks off
but when you inquire @vuilat street. car
TO take the answer fnVariaB1y IS That
no cars near where you happen to be
at the time goes more than halfway.
This railway elusiveness and necessity
for walking made a raincoat on which
81 remains to be paid a great comfort
yesterday.
Yet our American League leaders
were not discouraged or depressed by
the physical peculiarities of the Ohio
town and are as confident as a Repub-
ican candidate in Philadelphia Their
confidence in themselves at the begin
ming of the aFduouS Western trip is a
beautiful sight 10 see. But they are by
no means swell-heatfad and there is
great difference between the two men
tai states. The talk is all of the ap-
preaching conflicts, and the Nationals
are more than anxious TO get at the
enemy. Few of them are willing to
take chance on getting lost and miss
Ing a game by going down to see Lake
Erie give up its burden of rats
Huelsman's Case.
By the Judicious use of a jimmy and
a Jackscrew most OF Huelsman's skull
has been pried into its normal position
from down on his neck and shoulders.
He is the tallest man on the team, and
when he tries 10 accommodate himself
to the uncertain angles and the mys-
terious knolls and hummocks OF a Pull
man bed he cuTls up like a human main
spring.
Yesterday morning about o'clock the
train stopped short. but everything else
kept right on going. Also the human
spring was released and the elongated
tion between the two berths with his
head. 1t was a great blow. something
on the order of the one with which he
broke Lave Cross nose. He was ex-
cavated from a mass of blankets,
sheets. pillows, and other odds and ends
after much difficulty. Efforts were at
once MADE TO push his skull up into
its normal place. but il was a tedious
job and was not completed until this
morning.
Cassaday ard Mullen were affected by
the sane sudden stop, but neither was
fatally injured in mere than three |
places.
Getting Breakfast.
Getting breakfast yesterday morning |
was problem requiring vast executive |
ability. Every official on the train was /
new 10 his job or the run. We were told |
thar the layover in Fittsburg would be |
twenty minutes and dining car WouI,, |
pe put on there. This gave the ball play. /
