Comments on Yesterdays Games.

The defeat of the Nationals yesterday
morning was a heart-breaker for Charley
Smith. who certainly pitched an elegant
game. 1t seemed as though Hickman's first
error in throwing wild to second to catch
Hoffman somewhat disheartened him. but
he never let up trying. Conroy stealing
home on Smith was simply a daring piece
of work and deserved TO win. He caught
Smith entirely off his guard, as Charley was
afraid 10 change his style of winding up, as
1t had proved a winner up to that time, and
at that Wild" only got there by the closest
of margins If Smith repeats yesterdays
performance on the rubber it will certainly
be a winner, as the luck can't break against
him always.
