KIND FATE HELPS
OUR BRAVE BOYS
Started on Howell With a
Rush, Then Stopped
Short.
DO YOU KNOW JOE STANLEY
He's a Broth of a Boy Who aiakes a
Speciality of Catching Long
Flies.

Sound cymbals and let's have the
blare Of trumpets. tin horns. ct al. We
win another Seven out OF eleven isn't
so had.
Washington corralled a trio Of count
ers In the premier inning OF yesterday 5
contest with the ST. Louis contingent
and fate decreed that the said trio was
just enough TO give II victory; The
Browns struggled hard but Smith was
on the Job from Alpha 10 Omega and let
the McAleeTites down with two runs.
If some tirst-class sensationallst had
lain awake nights thinking OF a striking
climax for a game he could not have
hit upon q better one than the fans
butted into yesterday.
You Should Know Stanley.
With the score standing at to in
our favor, two St. Louisians down. and
Stone on second base. entreating and
imploring Hemphil TO moor him 10 the
counting block, Hemp bifTed the bullet
down into right field and INTO what
looked 10 be unguarded territory. Stone
raced around the circuit a la Duffey and
was standing on the home plate with a
run I'm his arms that would have tied
the score had he been able 10 deliver H.
but the fates were not 10 be so kind
10 the Browns.
Stanley got under steam and hiked
uD the sWard With his head on
a level with his knees and his body
pitched forward Joe speared the glObule
near the extreme end OF the stand. He
swung on 10 the spheroid but collided
with the bleachers, still holding the bail
and thereby saving the day for the
Nationals. 10 was one Of the prettieSt
catches ever made in right field and the
crowd went frantic. McAleer and his
bunch of sixth placers were diSgusted.
Hand Out From Fate.
Handsome Harry Howell was in rare
form and let the native sons down with
three singles. Washlngton's three runs
We're made ON one hit, an error, and
some beady base running. II is a good
thing they got the tallies in the first
session. for there were no more floating
around after that. 1t is a matter of
record that with the exception OF one
inning the Nationals failed TO get a
man as far as second base, so effective
was the handsome Individual. In five
innings the Nationals were retired in
one, TWO, three order a queer thing.
however. is the fact that Harry did not
fan single member of our gang.
I'm the first inning Altizer drew a pass.
Stanley bunted. Spencer forced Altizer.
Nil was hit by pitched ball With
Stanley and Mil on the sacks Cross
Whacked an inshoot into right field.

TOmped home. making a total of three
runs. lhere was no more scoring Tor
our laddy bucks.
Stone, Pinch Hitter.
With two hands down in the third
Niles poked one up against Smiths
Stats and was safe. With Niles on first
through Smiths error. Jones banged
TO AltiZeT. who hustled II TO StahI. who
dropped II, Niles going TO third. Then
Stone waded inuo the first shoot served
The bali landed IN safe territory In right
field. Niles and Jones scoring.
The visitors got nine hits but they
were not bunched This coupled with
the fact that Smith received gilt-edged
support kept them from smearing any
t8llies over the counting block after
the third inning, McAleers men got on
bases IN every inning except two. buC
Smith took a brace and pulled himself
out of three dangerous quagmires into
which he dropped after two men were
out
