BASE BALL NOTES.

Manager Stahl once more shook up his
batting list, but he couldn't Offset Hurst
deplorabe work.
Kitson will work today for the Nationals.
and probably Clarkson or Doyle for the
Highlanders.
The bleacher crowd started after Hurst
in body in the sixth inning, but was per-
suaded to go back by Hickman and several
policemen.
When Elberfeld was called out at second
in the sixth inning, after he had driven
Conroy home with the tying run, he
jumped up and started for Hurst on the
dead run, but cooled down by the time he
got to the middle of the diamond and
walked sadly to the bench.
Falkenberg never pitched better in his
life and was going like a house afire, but
Hurst's decisions on balls and strikes in the
fifth broke his spirit and made 1t easy sail
ing for the Gothamites thereafter.
In the sixth Stahl was given a base on
balls, and, getting good start. stole second
clearly, sliding into Williams in such a way
that he knocked his feet from under him.
In falling on top of Stahl Williams touched
the former with the ball and Hurst said
out. The ball was thrown so high that it
made Jake's steal an easy matter
Charley Jones had two singles and two
stolen bases. while Schlafiy also had two
singles, but only one pilfer.
EdmundSon, the Texas boy, had on a
Washington uniform and racticed with
the boys. He would have gone in the box
had Falkenberg showed signs of weaken
ing. Edmundson can pitch, catch, play
either the in or outfields and, in addition,
hit the ball some.
Danny Hoffman secured two bases on
balls and made a sacrifice consequently he
doesn't get turn at the bat
The Nationals and New Yorks will hook

ternoon. the first game starting at =

man, Keller. Dougherty and Bay engaged.
And an infielder could not stop to tie his
shoelaces with c. Jones, Seymour Flick,
Hartsel, Chase, Sheckard, Burch, Doc
White or Fielder Jones up either.
Bill Bradley, whose wrist was broken
by. a pitched ball in New York on July IS,
was out practicing with the Clevelands one
day this week. He merely Iobbed the ball
