Dangerous Foe.

Large Man, Fast on His Feet and Hard

ALTIzER LOOKS THE GOODS

No hook for our ball team this time,
for It played a game yesterday and not
only didn't lose but came near win
ming Maybe that isn't an Improvement
over some of the things our team has
been doing lately.
That curious contest yesterday was
interesting throughout. and especially so
because Washington had a first class
chance to win. Bender, who is an ami
mated % sign for the Nationals, was not
such a much as he has been in former
games, and although the score was tied
when the game was called in the eighth,
on account of a busy little storm, H. was
a pretty good bet that Washington
would have Won
Altizer Looks Good.
The appearance of altlzer was the
main attraction, and It must be said
righ: here that his appearance was de-
cidedly pleasing. Stahl has hobby for
getting big men for his team, and has
little confidence in the little fellows. In
Altizer he has a husky person OF height
and weight, who looks capable of drfv-
ing ball out of the lot. He is fast on
bases and in fielding. and goes after ev-
erything that comes his way. 1t is a
pretty safe bet that his fielding average
will not be very high, because, as far
as can be judged from one game. he will
not play for his average and shirk
dangerous propositions.
Altizer is a left handed batter who
bangs at the ball somewhat fiercely, and
his effectiveness was displayed yester-
day when he made Washington S first
hit, clean blow TO center. Ie started
like house afire when he first Joined
the team. ana batted in a really remark
able manner for awhile, then struck a
slump. Now he has come to life again
and promises TO be the goods.
Cross the Star
Next to Altizer, the star feature, as
they always say in writing OF amateur
games. was the great work of Lave
Cross at third. To Mr.. Cross is due the
fact that Washington got a tie instead
of a beating In the third inning, with
two on bases and two out, Armbruster
sent a straight sizzler over third that no
man had a license to stop. Cross gave
IL the hook by a great One-hand stop,
and even then he had no right TO make
an out, but the force of the hit pulled
him of his feet, and when tumbling he
twisted his body so that he fell on third
base and fo-ced an out. 1t may be re-
marked in passing that II was a sweet
piece of playing.
Smith Going Well.
Smith Is going good these days. and
only the unlucky combination of a triple

Athletics a run.

Although they have had rocky career
recently the Nationals are not discour-

with the players shows that they are
full of confidence and expect TO come
back strong. like they did last year
when they took such a great brace after
their first big slump
Altizer made a great overhead catch
of knight in the third round, ard
showed that he is there after the high
ones as well as the bounders.
Never were there two prettier throws
than those with which Wakefield nailed
Davis and Hartsel trying to steal in the
sixth round. Both were low, just on
the ground. II they had been thrown
any higher the runners would have been
safe. While the throws were accurate
they were hard for a shortstop TO
handle, but Altizer took them perfectly.
Monte Cross is the same old safe and

letics. and nothing escapes him except
what gets away, which ism much.
It is hard TO see what system of scoring
could give Altizer a hit on his fly to
Armbruster in the fifth In the inning
before Armbruster ran much further
and gathered in a high one from Smith
without great trouble AltiZer's fly was
not so difficult and was dropped after
landing squarely in his hands.
Davis was given a hit on his bounder
to Altizer in the fifth because IL was fig
ured that even If the shortstop had
handled the chance cleanly he would not
have had time to get the ball to first.
Stahl went TO sleep on his third strike

FATE OF "GOLGOTHA"
WORLDS BIGGEST PAINTING
MAY BE CUT UP.
Canvas Upon Which Artist Labored

For 80 years the artist, Jan Styka
labored upon the canvas. and during
the last five years he was assisted by
his son. When completed the picture
Is said to have sold for $l1S,000. the
purchaser being European syndicate.
For several years the painting was ex'
hibited in Paris. Later 1t was taken to
various European cities, and ultimate
ly brought to America.
A year or more ago "Golgotha" was
placed on exhibition in Chicago. An
old church at No. 1921 Michigan ave-
nue. was prepared for 1t, and the public
was invited to view the painting,
which Is a graphic representation OF
the crucifixion of Christ
When the painting was brought &c
this country 1t was placed in bond.
The duty on 1t was $4,000, but as 1,

the court refused to let 1t go. and II
was resold to Solomon l.. Lowenthal,

The Sheen of Pearls.

The famous pearl stud belonging to
the late marquis of Anglesey, sold at
Christie's in London some time ago for
the large sum of 5000, is eclipsed by a
beautiful pearl which changed hands
some years ago for over 1000. It was,
of course, huge in size, and absolute per-
lection as TO shape and color, and 1t
possessed that radiant sheen which
marks the pearl of great price. This
characteristic is noticeable in the pearls
owned by Queen Margherita of Italy,
and by those in the possession of the
duchess of Marlborough, gems which
often graced the beautiful neck of Marie
Antoinette. The luster it is which raises
the value of the pearl and decides its
price, and a smaller jewel possessing it
will realize larger sum of money than
one of even greater size lackingit.

the English could concentrate a suf-

Gov. Claiborne had called session of
