Bender in Philadelphia this afternoon.
Pitcher Smith stayed In bed all day yes
terday and gave his sore ankle a continuous
rubbing OF Imminent. with the result that
the swelling went down and he felt so good
that he started for Philadelphia this morn
ing He may be able to work in one of the
Boston games.
The New Yorks simply had to win Satur-
day. Griffith said: IF we lose four straight
here I'll be ashamed to go home and we will
have to shift to Jersey City or Newark for
the summer"
Highlanders sent home reports blaming the
umpire for the loss of the games, when, In
fact, stupid play was the cause. Had the
Nationals made the bungles the Yankees
were guilty of the hammers of the knockers
would have been kept going for a month.
The Nationals will be home again next
Friday week and will have the Detroits
guests.
Lave Cross and several members of the
Nationals had all their plans laid for fish,
ing trip up the Potomac yesterday, but the
Paterson game developed Saturday and the
fish were given a rest until the team re-
turns.
Out-of-town reports said that the New
FORKS had knocked Smith out of the box.
That gang couldn't hit Smith effectively In
a thousand years II the boy Is right. Sprain-
ed ankles don't count.
Magnate Farrell may as well give UP ali
hope of winning the American League pen
naut this year with Griffith In charge.
There are too many factions In the club
and they are all knocking their manager.
The Nationals go away in second place
and they will have to do exceptionally fine
work to hold on to that position.
Shreveport has won nine straight In the
Southern League.
There were sixty candidates for the Car.

WELL WORTH PROPERTY LOSS.
Views of Fred B. Smith on California
Disaster.

Fred B. Smith, the evangelical secretary
of Y. NJ C. A, at a meeting or men last
evening In the Fifth Baptist Church, VA
and r streets southwest, said that the re-
cent disaster In San Francisco was well
worth the $500, 900, 900 property loss. as It
has given the country a new display OF
altruism which has not been eQualed In the
history OF the world.
Mr.. Smith took for his text the question
Am 1 My Brothers Keeper found In
Genesis. i've. He said in part: There Is
many a man In this land who is consecrat-
ing himself to a life Of sin. and who ex-
poets during his last hours to sneak around

league engagement was with the Phillies,
after which he went to Milwaukee,, where

big effect on bringing the pennant here.
