which grew continually.
Il never at any time had to lose any sleep
over Cassidy said Stahl. He was model
man In all respects, and could always be
counted upon One OF his chief aspirations
was to see the Washington club at the head
of the list and 1t is a pity that he was
cut down before his ambition could be real

the club. no matter what the odds. Just as
soon as the Nationals have dozen men of
his type, Just that soon will the pennant fly

Notwithstanding the recent setba cks.
Stahl believes that the streak of bad
luck is only temporary, and predicts a
bright future for the club, and he Is not
alone in this opinion, If the expressions
made by the players last night count for
anything.
