Athletics Rally Nipped.

No less gallant were those determined
champions. They braced up from the Jolt
of having something yanked from under
them and made bid for honors at the fin
ish. In the last of the tenth Monte walked
and was forced by schreck. Athlete No. 20,
better known as Mr.. Hanifen, batted for
Rube and poled out single. One gone and
a man on second made US hope some.
Hartsel came near fouling out, but
didn't Lafayette Cross and his bow legs
almost caught up with the ball. Lave was
Just biding his time for something spec
tacular. Topsy banged a line fly between
short and third. The veteran plucked the
ball In his mitt and tabbed Schreck in the
Stats at the same time. Double play, with
out the aid of drugs, nets or mechanical
appliances. Side out and last hope gone.
i Mr. Macks people bruised three pitchers
for total of fourteen swats. two of
which were the Justly celebrated Davis
home runs over the fence in the same
ispot. Plank and RUDE endured fifteen
shocks between them as Mr.. Dygert fail
ed to put the ball where anybody could
soak il. James pushed out a. couple OF
passes in the sixth and then skidooed.
The simple life appealed to him.

I by Mr. Stanley, a modest youth among
the Nationals. He came up for Mr.. Stark
ell in the fifth and liked the job so well
he batted twice for that unfortunate per-
son. Mr.. Stanley is one of the most versa
tile athletes we ever met. He led off with
n double that started boom in base hits
The whole side took some kind of fall
out of Plank, and the going was so good
Mr.. Stanley got in again. This time he
