The Awful Details.

The second game was more like the real
article, both teams playing as If there were
a game Of ball in progress and the Southerns
easily redeemed themselves in every de-
partment. Great Improvement was es-
pecially noticeable in their fielding, but one
miscue being made, while in the opening
burlesQue they fell down on four easy
chances.
They certainly had out a crowd Of loyal
rooters, as was demonstrated in the sixth
inning with the score standing three to
several times nothing. Pomeroy who had
been lolling in the background with but
one safety to his credit, stepped up and
caught one on the nose that netted him
three sacks; and to cap the climax. Hurley,
the next man up. laid one down toward
third base that scored the first run and
counted the batter for base after one of
the most remarkable and clever slides wit
messed round an amateur game for many
moons. This proved an eye opener for the
fans and the cheering was continued until
the last man was retired in the ninth.
Another rally was started by Hurley in
the last half of the ninth, he having led off
with a neat single, and Copeland in turn
followed suit. With two on bases and no
hands down, Southern stock looked pretty
good and more so when Lynham clouted
one to the center garden for single. The
ball was quickly returned by Duggan, in
center for the winners, and had the visit
ing catcher held on to the ball the game
would have probably resulted in the score
of to 1. But sad to say and to the great
delight of the Southern following, he let
it get away from him and Hurley crossed.
At this stage the rooters nearly went
frantic it being thought that the Win
chester lads were up tall oak, but such
was not the case They quickly settled
down and with the valuable assistance Of
Feiser their slabman, the side was retired
in order.
Winchester got the majority of it's runs
by opportune hitting. In the third. base

heave netted three runs, and in the last
round batter being hit and two hefty

WINCHESTER LADS
WALL0P SOUTHERN
First GameWas HoWIing Farce,
But Railway Boys Steadied
Down in Second.

The Southern Railway contingent Of ball
artists proved big disappointment to a
big crowd Of faithful followers yesterday
afternoon when the much-touted team from
Winchester, Va, walloped them two sue
cessive times at National Park by scores
Of to and to 2.
Had the teams split even on the games
the Southern management would not have
been overjubilant. but contented. Prob
ably their overanxiety had something to do
with their poor showing, but nevertheless
they were outclassed In yesterdays battles,
and about 672 1-3 miles from their usual
form.
So many bulls were made in the first
game that 1t was called in the sixth round.
1t came about after the Winchester boys
were clouting the sphere all over the lot
and the local boys were making bold but
unsuccessful stabs at drives that were un-
fortunately made in their direction. The
managers got busy with their craniums and
decided that in order to pull over the second
game, as per agreement, they would have
to put an end to the first farce.

NOTES OF THE GAME.

Patterson has the reputation of being
Washington's "hoodoo," but he had moth
ing on the Nationals today.
The push that George Davis gave Altizer
yesterday probably lost the White Sox
today's game today, as the Nationals had
blood in their eyes when they walked on
the field and played as If a purse of q
thousand dollars was hung up for each
man.
Only four hits off Charley Smith. Count
em. Busy IZzy'' Isbell got two of the
four.
Otis Clymer was there once more with
his stick and this discarded Pirate has the
ability to slam the ball at the right time.
Hey, Barney! Why did you let him go?
Young Block caught beautiful game be-
hind Charley Smith and the kid" de-
serves lots of credit, as the curves and
drops sent In by the big twirler were of
the Splitter variety and hard to handle,

CHICAGO Ill, August 17.-Washington
showed a flash of real championship form
today and shut out the White Sox to the
intense surprise and sorrow of some 1900
citizens
The usual Saturday crowd was augmented
by all the newspaper men IN town, as Co.
miskey gave a reception to the press club
and the scribes walled bitterly as they saw
the White Sox go down in disaster with a
dead blank score.
Charley Smith did the pitching. There were
two Smiths and two Joneses in the game
and there were to have been three Smiths,
but Frank felt III and said the family was
strong enough as 1t was. Hence Roy Pat
terson pitched for the worlds champions
and got his In merry fashion.
The visitors hit him up and down the
dale and accumulated eight swats in four
innings. They were rather slack in their
run getting and the eight hits were good
for only two tallies. but two against moth
ing Is as lop-sided as village that had
been gone over by lava flow.
Patterson retired after the fourth con-
vinced that his brand of curves would not
do for this festive occasion, and DR.. White
finished the game. Doc was in good form
and prevented any further run-getting.
while only three hits were rolled up during
the five innings of his incumbency.
The White Sox, barring one tumble by
Donohue, played their usual elegant fielding
game, which largely accounts for the fact
that the Nationals got only two runs off
eleven bingles.

Shucks! Twas Real Easy.

Ch!cago's efforts were futile so COM

no one out, Jones swatted with much vlgor
a moment later Isbell soaked a heroic
triple, riding all the way from second to
third on his knuckles, owing TO a comic
fall. Yet there was no scoring The feet
of Fielder Jones never touched the plate
"Pourquoi?' the French ambassador
would say. Because the leader of the
White Sox had jackassed off first second
after he made his hit. and what they did To
him In the way Of capture was good and
plenty.
The only other time that the Sox grew
noisy was In the seventh. for many years
the lucky inning of all Chicago clubs. In
this round with no one out, Isbell broke
off a single. He undertook to steal second,
and Donodue tried to bring of hit and

Of victories was augmented by one that

was all to the rosy. He pitched rings
around the best hitters of the White Sox,
and they simply could not bunch their wal

useless, for they threw away what few
chances they had in the way Of scoring,

ToLsTOY AND SHAKESPEARE.

Leo Tolstoy has written an extra
ordinary attack on Shakespeare.
The Paris correspondent of the New
York American says. ''Tolstoy de-
scribes Shakespeare as a time-server
who flattered the governing classes"
He declares besides that Shake
speare had no genius as a writer,
but was actually worse than medi-
ocre. "Othello," which he declares
Shakespeare's best play, the Russiar
philosopher describes as inferior to
the earliest italian works upon which
it was founded.
The same kind of criticism is level
ed at King Lear" Tolstoy says that
the chronicles from which this story
was taken were more full of human
interest than the tragedy itself. Mar
lowe, he declares, was greater
dramatist than Shakespeare, who
only succeeded because, being an ac-
tor, he had a practical knowledge OF
the stage.
Shakespeare is denied the power of
characterization by Count Tolstoy
All the characters of Shakespeare, he
says, speak the same language. A
tyrant or buffoon in any other one
play speaks exactly as the tyrant or
buffoon in any other play of Shake
spe9re's. 1t is merely Shakespeare
speaking pOmpously through each OF
his characters.

BOA' CRIMINALS.

The northwest has certainly produce
ed its quota of boy murderers during
the past year. Portland, Spokane.
Seattle and other points have furnish
ed striking examples.
Heredity, that scourge of the human
race, is accountable for much of this
crime. Environment is accountable
for share of it and pure cussedness
adds its influence to the evil record.
Strange mingling nf passions and
emotions. Do parents appreciate the
responsibilities upcn them, in rearing
families? How slight a cause may
blast not only the life of the child,
but the lives of those who come in
contact with it in after years.
Hcredity. like a taint Of disease in
the blood, breaks cut in unexpected
times and places. years after the seed
is planted. The time to plan for up
right lives in children is not after
they are grown. One cannot begin
too early. Prenatal influences once
firmly fixed, never disappear.
