Jupiter Pluvus. the Nationals and Cieve-
lands had three-cornered fight yesterday
afternoons National Park. and after many
trials and tribulations the latter two won
out. at least for the time being But that's
not the best thing that happened The Can
tillonites beat the Napoleonites by score
OF to ], and incidentally much might be
said about the trade of Mil for OBrien
The former beat his own team in the
iourth inning by trying to see how far he
coud throw the ball. Why wasn't he en-
tered IN the long distance throw at the ath-
ietic meet for base ball players. recently
held for the ,dification of one Mr.. Herr
mann at Cincinnati? He would have taken
first prize in walk. Incid rntally this wild
heave of his knocked any or all of the as
pirat:ons Larry might have had for win
ming the pennant
From local standpoint this throw by
Nil looked right smart but as stat ed by
one of the two newspaper men who had
the nerve to accompany The Maps this
barn-storm:ng trip it was Simply rank.
Solder Boy Altizer sent one down to Mr..

runs, for Capt. Bob and Delahanty. who

Maps Begin Work.
The game started off in that sing song,
one-two-three order. which characterized
the first game Friday but the Cleveland
players figured there was no use waiting
until the ninth inning to win. so Birming
ham. the first man up in the third. laced
a pretty double over third. and Master Bob.
by quick pickup and throw. held him at
| second. Not to BE- outdone by the capital
of Alabama. Lister slipped slow one along
third base line. and Oberlin. from Brew
erytown and later of Beantown. slipped
in fielding it. Lebhart. with the red fan
mel shirt came to tina with a neat sacri-
fee. and Alabama and Listerine moved up
a peg. Oberlin. seeming trouble in Elmer
Flick. gave him a pass to first Bradley
sent a scorchsr to O'Brien. All he could do
to throw Flick out at second and al
low Birmingham to Rabbit Mil,

a pop-up, and the suspense WAS over.
Nationals Score Three.
1t was in the last half of the fourth in
ming that the Nationals scored their three
runs on hit and that large heave by Rab-
bit. Milan sent easy one to Liebhart
and was put out at first by large margin.
Capt. GanIey jumped across the pate two
or three times, had a Hordy scrap with
Umpire Hurst about a ball that nearly put
a blister on his Off leg. and after much
fouling and dilly-dalying worked the red
shirt for a pass. Deiehanty put one down
between Larry and Lister. ana Ganley drew
up at third. King" Kay came forward.
but with all the whoopng of the fans he
could do nothing but add to the strike-out
| record of MIR. Liebhart. Then came Davy
with his grounder to Mil. and that young
man broke up the game right there. Nuf
said.
There was nothing doing in the fifth on
either side and nothing by Cleveland in Its
half of the sixth Washington started off
in a whirlwind manner in it's half. Ganley
worked Flannel for another pass. Dele
hanty singled and Kay sacrificed them an
other notch.
