pictures of the race were shown by a NOV

of National League Clubs.

During the past week the Nationals
played seven games. four with Boston and
three with the Athletics. winning three and
losing four a better showing than the week
previous with New York and Detroit. From
the beginning of the season up to yesterday
they have played 127 games. winning 40 and
losing II. and one tie game with the Ath-
letics. They play three games In Philadel-
phia, commencing today: return home for
three games with New York. and then start
upon their last trip west.
Hickman now leads the team in batting
with .2S7. followed by Altizer with 282, and
Wakefield with .275 and Anderson with
.27s. Patten made the greatest gain in
batting. .O15. having made four hits in the
last five games in which he has ofiiciated.
Hickman. Wakefield. Jones and Mil also
gained somewhat in their averages.
Stahl still continues to be the leader in
fielding with 1856 in ia games Patten
comes next with .97s followed by Hick-
man at first .971; Falkenberg, .O69; Kitson,
1867. and Anderson, 800.
The winning pitchers during the week
were Falkenberg. Hughes and Patten, but
they do not seem to be in as good condition
as a week or two ago. Now that the pitch
ing corps will be strengthened on their
western trip by "Stony" McGynn and
probably Goodwin 1t is to be hoped that
they will make a better showing than on
their previous trips to that territory
Anderson is still the slugger Of the team
having made 135 singles. 20 doubles 5
triples and homer. a total of 1863 bases
while Hickman Is coming after him strong
with 10e singles. 20 doubles. triples and 7
homers. total of 1853 bases Hickman has
played n-S1, less games. Jones. Cross and
Altizer come next with 140, 139 and I2O re-
spectively. Stahl and Schlafy also have
over 100 total bases to their credit
Schlaf1y. Jones' Stanly. Altizer and Stahl
are the leading sacrifice hitters of the team
while Anderson leads in stolen bases with
81. and AltiZer is making rapid strides to
overtake him. he having stolen 20 bases in

plays the Nationals continue to lead their

lead their opponents by 1872 to 173. Those

ing encountered one of the heaviest fogs
of the season in Nomini creek early yes
terday morning. The steamer Is scheduled
to leave Nomini wharf at 3 am. for this
city. but at that hour the atmospheric
blanket was so thick that objects fifty feet
from the bow Of the steamer could not be
made out. and Capt. Chap Slye, the mas
ter of the Randall. deemed 1t inexpedient
to attempt to bring his steamer through
the winding channel of the creek. AS the
sun arose the fog diminished somewhat.
and. feeling her way with lead and line, the
steamer came out of the creek. In the
main river there was some fog, but.it was

GREAT RACE IN
TRI-STATE LEAGUE

YORK. Pa, September 1O.-Two clubs in
the Tri-State League with pennant aspira-
lions were given a jolt last week, and they
are now practically out of the race for the
championship. These clubs-Lancaster and
Ahoona-were thought to have an excellent
chance when the weeks play began. but
poor playing and hard luck resulted in a
tumble In their percentages.
The last week finds York and Williams
port fighting it out for first honors. with the
odds in favor of the Heckertites During
the past month these two clubs have been
making q great struggle to head the pro-
cession. always within hailing distance of
each other and at no time more than twenty
points apart. The final struggle will be one
long to be remembered. as the teams start
today on the final six days play with but
two games separating them-Surely, not a
comfortable margin.
But the York team Is travelling at fast
clip. and to the residents of this town the
lad Of seventeen points appears as big as
dition. and the return Of ''Stoney'' McGlynn
has added considerable strength to the
pitching department. On Labor day he
twirled in both games Of the double-header
of the ledger. ample proof that he still pos
sesses all his Old-time cunning. OF the
seven games played six resulted In victories,
as against five victories and two defeats for
Williamsport, the contending factor. The
Lumbermen are still confident Of landing
the rag, but opposed to Altoona they may
have considerable difficulty landing half OF
their games.
The Red Roses started the week with a
double victory over Jamestown, and resi-
dents Of Lancaster were Of the opinion that
they had a chance for the pennant, but
they slumped during the remainder Of the
week. and won but four OF the seven games
played These defeats put them out OF the
running. and nothing short of a miracle
can improve their position. Altoona was a
disappointment to all, losing six games and
winning but one. and is now hopelessly
out of the race and will finish no higher
than fourth. while Harrisburg and Johns
town will finish fifth and sixth respectiyely
