BASE BALL NOTES.

1t was certainly an afternoon of great
sport
The Nationals tackle the Athletics for the
last time today.
The lowly Bostons open series of four
games here Monday and the Nationals have
a good chance to capture a couple of games.
1t was fine sight to see the locals hit
the ball, especially Hickman and StaM,
who have been somewhat shy of late.
Patten pitched gilt-edged ball until
O'Laughlin gave Seybold a base on balls
that should have been strike out Patten
had worked hard on Socks and to then
lose him took all the life out of the south
paw.
Falkenberg was there with the goods and
finished out the game in grand style. He
was just right and when In that condition
there is no batter in the country who can
guess his cross-fre ball right.
Smarty Monte Cross was responsible for
the mix-up in the fifth inning of the second
game as he ran up to third after he had
been retired. 1t was visited by just retribu-
ton, as knight caught at second on
the play, making the third out.
Manager Stahl was evidently brooding
over his muf of Cross fly when Altizer
threw to first for double play and had
Murphy been wide awake he would have
scored. as the ball went to the grandstand
The shortstop got really angry at his man
ager for going to sleep.
That extra man Armbruster appears to
be the goods with the stick, he has
been up several times in the series and
each time he has peeled off hit.
Young Dygert has pitched several fine
games of late, but the Nationals are appar-
entity his ''hoodoo. Three times he has
faced the local crowd and each time he
has been driven to the bench.
Waddell will pitch for Philadelphia this
afternoon. and either Hughes or Falkenberg
for Washington.

JOE CANS BESTED
JACK BLACKBURN

PHILADELPHIA, June 30.-Joe Cans
stepped faster than he ever did before in
this town in the wind-up at the National
Athletic Club last night. He had to, for
Jack Blackburn, who was his opponent Is
a pretty rugged sort of chap himself, and
besides he really thought that he could
best the champion. The result proved that
Cans Is still Blackburn's master. The boys
weighed in at 1875 pounds at o'clock, ac-
cording to the articles of agreement,
neither one Of them moving the bar. Black
burn was certainly in splendid condition.
and Cans himself looked as though he
had gone through special training for this
bout. The pair met here once before. when,
owing to Cans lack of condition, Blackburn
got the popular verdict.
Blackburn had the advantage of height
and reach but Cans more than offset those
advantages by his superior cleverness and
knowledge of the game. Time and time
again the champion cleverly evaded swings,
any one of which would have put him
away had it landed, but he was never there
to receive 1t. Cans, too, cut loose many
a swing that would have stopped Black
burn, but the latter also avoided the short
route by clever docking and blocking.
In clean punching Blackburn appeared to
have something on Cans In the first two
rounds. He frequently reached Cans face
with his straight lefts, but there was not
much steam behind his punches. 1t was
his body punches that caused Cans the
most annoyance.
Once in the third round Blackburn landed
hard on Joe's works with his right. Cans
did not think that that was strictly in
accordance with the ethics of the pro-
fession and showed a bit of temper. A
red hot mix-up followed with Cans having
the better of 1t. There was some hard ex-
changing in the fifth round, Blackburn es-
saying the shift" with the hope of landing
a full left on Cans body, but Cans invari-
ably anticipated the punch. The sixth
round was practically one series of rushes.
Cans uppercuts counting heavily. Black
burn was rather tired at the end Of this
round
